Bobbie, There's a new diner on Rt 51 called Georgie's Diner. It's located between the exit from Rt 279 and the first stoplight. They've got the full selection of diner food, plus they appear (at least from the taste of the grilled food) to have a real charcoal grill (maybe it's a gas grill, but boyo is it good). toodles, gretchen
Pittsburgh, PA
Is the food still as good?

Bobbie: I love breakfast at the Dor-Stop in Dormont - it's a family-run business - they make great pancakes (get the weekend special with the walnut pancakes). I haven't tried anything other than breakfast food, but they are very friendly, and it's right on Potomac in Dormont - only problem is they are closed on Sundays.

I've been there twice and found it dismal. The first time I went, I was really sick and just wanted some soup. Even in my not-able-to-taste-anything state, I thought the soup was awful (salty and thick from evaporation).The service was not so great, but it's a diner and bad service is de riguer. But it's so close to where I live, and I am too often ready for dinner at about 10:30 or 11 pm, so I tried it again. The salad I ordered had brown lettuce in it, the fries were underdone, the lemon pie I ordered for dessert was still frozen. I am a masochist. Chances are good that I'll go back. It's a new place, no doubt they are still settling in and experiencing growing pains. But I don't except to find they've turned into a first-class diner. The coffee isn't good enough. :-(
Did you ever try the Trolley Bar on Route 88 in Castle Shannon? Only open breakfast and lunch but it is my favorite.

It sounds like you are talking about the old Trolley Barn at the junction of Castle Shannon Blvd and Mt Lebanon Blvd (near 88 and only open for breakfast and lunch). It closed down a few years ago and the site is now a Pizza Hut pickup/delivery shop.
