>Are there any good breakfast/brunch places out there that sell stuff >other than the standard eggs, home fries, pancakes et al. The Balcony in Shadyside does a pretty decent Sunday brunch (but you should expect to wait half an hour for a table). They have trout with a pepper (?) sauce, poached salmon over salad, quiches, and various higher-end breakfast standards like eggs benedict. It's all-you-can-eat except that you're limited to one serving each of trout and salmon. Price is around $10. The much-maligned Gullifty's has a Sunday brunch menu that includes several non-standard dishes. I've generally had reasonably good experiences with the food there; the service is *highly* variable. Coral Garden, the Chinese place in Edgewood Town Center, recently started doing a Sunday brunch buffet. I've only been to it once, but it was pretty poor that time. >(Huevos Rancheros come immediately to mind) I think the Appleby's next to Edgewood Town Center serves those (on Sundays), but I'm not certain.

Brunch anyone?
I have always enjoyed brunch at the Wilson Lodge at Oglebay Park... It's just a short 50-min drive (79 to 70 to Oglebay Exit near Wheeling), and the view from all tables in the restaurant is fabulous. Try to do this on a sunny day, but it's also really printer in the winter (you can take along your sled). The food is pretty typical hotel-brunch menu, with a chef making omelettes and waffles to order, it's always been fresh and the experience is fun. (Would still like to hear advice on good brunch places in town, I would also love to know who served huevos rancheros!)
