Walked in here in the height of the pandemic. No safety measures were in place. No one was wearing a mask. Staff was rude. Have since heard their food was not that great and have had many safety and health violations. Would not go here again. read more

Their food is always delicious and affordable. Every time I eat out there I get the best customer service the servers are very friendly and patient. I love how they aren't afraid to show their political views. It's a really good environment for kids read more

The Crack'd Egg is a cozy and friendly neighborhood breakfast spot! As a new resident to PA I so appreciate the love for breakfast foods and all of the options Pittsburgh has to offer. I was looking for a spot where I could eat alone and would have the charm of a neighborhood spot but still accept credit cards (what can I say.. I'm a millennial and rarely have cash). I visited on a Friday morning. It was busy but not too busy to be seated immediately. The service was quick and friendly. Surprisingly quick!! I ordered pumpkin coffee off their seasonal menu and that was great. Then I ordered chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. This isn't your greasy diner type of place so that's why I'm excited to give it 5 stars. I'm happy to support a neighborhood gem that serves delicious breakfast food in a clean, upscale environment with friendly service and good prices. I can't wait to go back to try the cinnamon bun! read more

The Crack'd Egg - New American Near Me - Brentwood, Pennsylvania

Love the food, love the staff. Never a wait but always a good crowd. Breakfast is my go to here, specifically omelette. Got the Cracked Royale today, ordered it medium and it was very well done...i would suggest the breakfast menu. Homemade chips and a side of ranch...yep, delicious. read more

I can honestly say that this is the first breakfast spot we've ever been to that had cloth napkins. The people there were really nice and our food came to the table quickly. My wife and I both ordered a side of fruit and while it wasn't canned fruit, some of the grapes were a little rotten. My ham and cheese omelet was pretty good, but the ham was actually cold. If it would have been grilled, like the side of ham my wife ordered, it would have been better. So the food wasn't bad, and the people were friendly, but the rotten fruit, cold ham, and the fact it was actually a little on the pricey side for breakfast, I could only go 3 stars. read more

The Crack'd Egg - Ham and cheese omelet. - New American Near Me - Brentwood, Pennsylvania

Good solid breakfast menu. Omelette are delicious. And coffee is always fresh. Weekends are busy

Rude service and horrible food. Place could also use a cleaning. Had heard good things, but it did not live up to the hype.

Food is mediocre. Staff and ownership is ignorant. They don't even follow Covid safety restrictions in a pandemic. So many other businesses have adapted and yet they won't budge. Selfish and reckless. read more

I'm not a business owner, but why would you want to alienate any potential paying customer? If you espouse political views, regardless of your views, you're going to turn off a certain amount of potential customers, like about half. I've eaten here before. The food was good and service on point. But upon walking in to get breakfast today on a day off from work, I'm confronted with a political statement at the host stand. As a person, you can espouse whatever views you'd like. As a business owner, it's not very smart. But there are plenty of eateries where this nonsense isn't seen. I turned around and went somewhere else where that was the case. Too bad, I really liked this place. read more

Average food, high prices, below average setting/ambiance. They've been shut down by the health department for not following health code protocols. -Gag!!!- Staff refuses to wear masks or social distance. The first and last time that I was there, they had some kind of political event and totally packed the place.. and didn't have the decency to warn us when they seated us that the place would be stuffed to the point of overflowing into the streets. I won't be retuning. Average food/experience isn't worth the significant health and safety risks.. especially when Gianna Via is like 4 minutes away with better food, service, prices and atmosphere.. without the health risk!! read more

Ate here a few times. Food was underwhelming and service was slowww. If you are in a rush I'd look elsewhere. Luckily it's sort of out of my way and I have better options in my area. When I'm in that part of town I'd skip it. read more

Would never eat here. They pick and choose what rules to follow. Would not trust anything here.

Went in to grab breakfast/lunch with the family at the Brentwood and had to turn around and leave. No employee was wearing a mask, and when asked why they weren't (since it has been mandated) was told that 'it makes the employees have sore throats'. We were extremely disappointed, as we were looking forward to trying the restaurant. As we were leaving, we were asked of there was a problem...when we explained we were concerned about the no masks, the male employee said he COULD put a mask on if we were REALLY concerned. Overall, severely disappointing. read more

The Crack'd Egg was more like a scrambled experience. Once arriving, the hostess was outside having a conversation that the waitress openly admitted to us. They weren't sure what to do with us, only to eventually seat us. We waved this off as a weird fluke and tried to get on with the meal. After getting seated, we realized that our table was a very awkward size. I was so far away from my dining partner that it was uncomfortable. Some of the seating is also on a higher level than the middle of the floor so I felt as if people were staring as me/our meal the entire time which was uncomfortable. After ordering a tea and waiting on my deal, the chicken and the egg, a waitress spilled her tray of drinks which flung themselves far enough to also get on me more than the table at which she spilled at (higher level seating 1, me 0). I understand that mistakes happen, but at this point it just seemed like the whole staff was unsure about everything going on. When the meals finally arrived they were okay but not great. I'm so glad that I asked for the gravy that came with my meal on the side as it was very heavy and I didn't end up using it at all. The chicken and eggs were tasty, but nothing to write home about. However, because the food was good and better than your average diner, I'm giving this place a 3 stars because of all the other awkwardness. read more

amazing food, amazing staff, awesome decor !!! portions and prices are great! can't wait to go back and eat!!!!

I stopped after getting my eyebrows done next door. I only got an egg and cheese biscuit it was very good. He biscuit was so soft and they had apple butter yah ! I also didnt mind the staff not wearing a mask. The reviews on here dogging them are rude. Its their choice. Calm down people. I thought the food was great i want to go back and try the ghost pepper cheese. read more

This place is absolutely adorable!! Every inch has been decorated to perfection. There is a cute little vinyl cut outs of mice in the hallway by the bathroom. The tables have little tins for garbage, it is very well thought out. I had very high hopes!! Sadly, hope this was a fluke, our food was not as good as I hoped. I had the eggs, bacon, cheesy potatoes, pancake and toast. The eggs were under cooked, the bacon was SALTY!, the pancake had NO flavor, and the toast which is so good- I think was over kill. 4 slices of giant toast was too much. No jelly was provided either. The cheesy potatoes are scalloped potatoes they were very good! My husband ordered the omelette with peppers and ham. The peppers and onions weren't sautéed at all, the ham was fatty. The potato pancakes were warmed up from a box. Again way too much toast. The place is adorable but the food was not as good as I hoped it would be. I would give it a second chance, but I'm not rushing back. read more

This place has given my daughter diarrhea both times she has gone here. Won't be back.

Excellent food ,service ,and atmosphere as usual i have never experienced anything less than that when i go to this intimate yet roomy diner i had my usual Popeye omelet its an omelet with chorizo spinach and feta it's sooooooooooooooooo good it comes with your choice of toast and potatoes i suggest cheesy potatoes but they are all good i also got a banana pancake on the side and every single bite had a fresh piece of banana in it this place is worth the drive no matter what part of Pittsburgh your coming from!!! read more

Go there for breakfast occasionally and food is very good and staff is really nice. When they're crowded it can take a little time to get things but overall I would recommend it read more

The reviews were good and the menu sounded delicious. Unfortunately we were duped. The breakfast burrito was unremarkable and the avocado toast Benny was very odd. One small piece of bread spread very thinly with unseasoned avocado & two poached eggs. I asked for Hollandaise sauce and had the privilege of paying extra for it! The grilled cinnamon roll was really dry so we asked for extra icing to moisten it and again had the privilege of paying extra for it! Extremely disappointing. Seems like a lot of those reviews were planted by employees or family members. read more

Won't go back. I don't need a plate of politics with a side of cold eggs. No wonder it was empty.

I guess if your standard is Denny's and eat n park like it is in most of Pittsburgh, this is an okay place. Imagine food that would come out of a continental breakfast at a super 8 motel in backwoods North Carolina. read more

Visitors from out of town and we felt right at home here at The Crack'd Egg. The staff was AMAZING. Friendly, courteous, and WONDERFUL with kids. We had a very squirrely and hangry 2 year old and they went above and beyond to keep her entertained and happy. I think it's fantastic that they have a kids toy station for kids to go pick what they want to allow the adults a minute to get their morning caffeine pumping in their veins. The food was outstanding. Everything that was ordered in our party of 6 was top notch and we all licked our plates clean. Notables: My husband had the TOP O' THE MORNIN' Hash and I had THE CHICKEN & THE EGG. Amazing. We left highly recommending this place to our local family who hadn't been before, and will definitely return whenever we're in town!! read more

I tried again with the family tonight during Brentwood Light up Night. Service was very friendly like usual. I orderd a bleu cheese burger wihtout the bun (see pic). The beef is grass feed and very good. The bleu cheese did the trick for me with the toppings of tomato, onion and lettuce. We also had a nice hot cup of wedding soup and it was wonderful. I am keeping this at 3 stars for the time being, this is definetly better the the other breakfast place a few buildings down. read more

The food is good. They make a great Reuben sandwich and their omelet selection is great. Pancakes are nice and fluffy . The service is good and the owner Kim is a nice person. read more

It's Sunday so free street parking! I wanted more than I could eat but ordered it anyway. Everything tasted great and the waitress remembered my name and how I like my eggs. Impressive since I wouldn't call myself a regular. Our table was too small to hold all the plates so that was a bit annoying, but we made do and enjoyed ourselves and the food nonetheless. read more

Worst place ever ate the food ended up in the hospital food was not even fully cooked I have a picture I will post and rude people working there worst place to go never again this is a shit place read more

They allow dogs on their patio which is always great to find. When I arrived despite making eye contact with a few employees, no one greeted me or offered to seat me. Finally I asked what turned out to be a busboy if I could just pick a table and he said yes. I sat outside with my dog. The server was polite and friendly, but they didn't check in with me enough IMO. I had to remind them about my drink order as well as my to go order after I was done with breakfast. The food itself was OK. I was expecting better, but it seemed on par with a Denny's or IHOP. Thankfully it didn't seem too expensive to me. It was a long trip for me to get there. I doubt I'll make the journey again. If I find myself in the area though, I might give it another shot. read more

Great breakfast, great service, clean place! Pancakes are the bomb and as big as a plate! Will be back soon!

Great place , excellent service and fresh fresh meals with a cool wide menu full of interesting breakfast!

The food is overrated. It is either over seasoned or under. The owner is defiant and she'd better off offering carryout/delievery only.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. The staff is outstanding and the atmosphere very pleasant.

I went there a while ago and was extremely disappointed. The service was terrible and the food was worse than anything I could have made myself. read more

If I could give no stars I would. I tried this place because I read great reviews... well that must all be friends and family afraid to tell the truth. I can never in a million years understand what the buzz is about this cheap knock off of a first watch (which we have back where I am from). The servers look stressed out, yelling going on in the kitchen, the servers had more question about the menu than I did, the cook clearly can't cook an over easy egg. $9 for pancakes? Bacon over cooked and brittle, home fries had so much season salt/msg that they need a defibrillator on hand for heart attacks. Either they use fake egg or they don't know how to make scrambled eggs, so dry. Eggs should be moist and fluffy, not brown/green and sit in the window to let stand and taste like sand. Canned corn beef hash. And my friend ordered the "fresh" burger, which was freezer burnt. So what am I paying for? Nothing in there is fresh, so is it hoarding decorations or napkins I am paying for? I can see the burgers being bland at a breakfast place, but if you can't get the fundamentals down on breakfast maybe you shouldn't open a breakfast place up. If you advertise fresh, don't have bread the only fresh item on the menu, which was the best part of the meal. They use a local bakery but they don't do them justice. P.s. to wait 30 minutes on a Sunday just to sit down and get this, your better off going to fast food chain buy breakfast and throw it out the window, ya'll will be more satisfied. I can promise you that. read more

The Crack'd Egg is definitely in my top 5 favorite breakfast places in Pittsburgh. I love the atmosphere and how it is so cozy. All the servers I've had have been so nice and helpful which makes the expirevce even better! All the food was fresh and handmade which is a pleasant surprise compared to most breakfast places. I am not able to have cream as asked if she had soy or almond milk, unfortunately they didn't, but they said they would look into getting some next time and were so helpful providing me with alternative options. There specials each week are so tasty!! read more

The Crack'd Egg - New American Near Me - Brentwood, Pennsylvania

I went here for the second time this morning with my father for brunch. We had an enjoyable experience again. We had a hard time deciding what to get because the menu had such a nice variety. I decided on the Belgium waffle and turkey sausage. The waffle was really great but I wasn't crazy about the turkey sausage. It was way too spicy for me. Our waitress was very nice too. The place is small, but adorable and well kept. read more

Great food! Clean environment, friendly staff. Thank you for always being so kind and making my meal enjoyable.

It's nice to see a new breakfast spot in the South Hills area of the Burgh- they were in need of one. This place is very cute and homey, with friendly and welcoming service as the icing on the cake. The food is very good- we came here for breakfast and had a wonderful meal. It's nothing that will blow you away with unique and crazy flavors, but instead it is comforting, delicious breakfast food that you are already familiar with and love. read more
