  1. 1

    Strip District · $$ · No. 17 of 157 overall

    The Strip District breakfast institution. Enormous portions, no-nonsense diner energy, and a weekend line out the door for good reason.

    Order: Mountainous diner breakfast & hotcakes

  2. 2

    Strip District · $ · No. 41 of 157 overall

    Those crepe-thin hotcakes earn the reputation. Just know it's packed, cash-friendly but chaotic, and breakfast-only going in.

    Order: Crepe-thin banana hotcakes & Lyonnaise potatoes

  3. 3

    Downtown · $$ · No. 43 of 157 overall

    Order: Buttermilk biscuits & seasonal jam

  4. 4

    West End · $ · No. 59 of 157 overall

    A Woodville Ave diner West Enders are fiercely loyal to (ask any local). Classic breakfast, zero pretense, exactly what a diner should be.

    Order: Honest, classic diner breakfast

  5. 5

    Strip District · $$ · No. 60 of 157 overall

    A Strip diner famous for the Lumberjack challenge and proper haluski. Hearty, cash-friendly, and gloriously unpretentious.

    Order: Haluski

  6. 6

    Moon Township · $ · No. 109 of 157 overall

    A cheeky Moon Township diner with the most yinzer name imaginable and a big, friendly breakfast. Filling and fun.

  7. 7

    East Liberty · $$ · No. 117 of 157 overall

    A sunny all-day breakfast spot with local art and good pancakes. Wholesome and reliable; expect a weekend wait.
