 I'm fond of Pamela's. Tasty pancakes stuffed with various fillings,
 and also very good corned beef hash. They have three locations -- on
 Forbes in squirrel hill, on Walnut in shadyside, and on Forbes in
 oakland.

 I'd be interested in finding other good breakfast places, though --
 the better items at Pamela's are only available on weekends.

 I've always like De Luca's down on the Strip--whenever I do a Strip day,
 I start with breakfast there.  Mounds of food, great selection, tasty
 grill, thick chewy Italian bread toast--yum.

 Krogman's Gab and Eat in Carnegie is pretty good. Try the mixed grill
 (I did this morning).

 Colleen's Corner, a relatively new location in the Strip, has good
 breakfast for pretty cheap.  The atmosphere is fair at best, bu their
 "Awesome One" breakfast has eggs, hash browns, pancakes and meat for
 around $5.  It is downstairs from the old PNC location, across the
 street from the Tedesco produce location.

 Ritter's Diner on Baum Blvd. in Shadyside/Bloomfield...great breakfasts!

 Let me "second the motion" on Krogman's.  The place has a lot of character,
 too!!!  Trader Jack's is just up the the road, completing a weekend morning's
 trek....

 Very delicious. They must be loaded with fat. The taste like they are
 cooked in butter.

 I live next to Armstrong county and our family will drive
 to Pamela's for the breakfast every now and then. The breakfast meats
 are only so-so but the omelets, potatoes and cakes are great.

 Maybe it's just me, but I think Ritter's is overrated.

 I agree with the others with:
 Krogman's Gab and Eat
 Pamela's
 DeLuca's

 and also would add The Dorstop (Doorstop?) in Dormont.

 Breakfast at Danny's in Washington County  at the Meadowlands exit ... they
 have a giant pancake and what they
 call the big eaters club, It took me an hour and a half but I at the whole
 thing one time.
 Also breakfast in Carnegie at Koegmans "Gab and Eat" is nice ... they have a
 mixed Italian grill with  Italian bread toast
 and only are open breakfast and lunch hours.  Try either one, they are places
 where you can fill up on good food for
 a price that won't leave your pockets empty.

 A friend recommended this place to me. They have really LARGE pancakes but
 the ones I had were tough and not too tasty. "Danny" had obviously
 overmixed the batter. (a real no-no when making pancakes).
