Eggs-R-Us

Being that tomorrow is Easter, it only seemed appropriate that we spend our Saturday Breakfast at a restaurant dedicated to eggs. (Ha, ha.) Eggs-R-Us is in the Crafton neighborhood of Pittsburgh, not too far from us, in a little strip mall that houses this diner's diner.

We were lucky enough to grab the last available table. This is one busy little place! It feels like the kind of place you love to go to for Saturday morning breakfast. It has a busy atmosphere, with tables and booths as close together as possible, and staff that navigates around like nothing, always with big smiles for everyone.  Very comfortable and warm.

The kitchen is exposed to the dining area, which I think takes some of the mystery out of things. (Definitely not a bad thing!) Service was pretty quick for as busy as they were, but while you wait it's fun to enjoy some of the cool pictures on the wall. My favorite is this one from Breakfast at Tiffany's. (Those are eggs on the wall behind the frame.) So classic.

It is a classic diner, so not a whole lot in the way of healthy, non-grilled, greasy food. Husband did pretty well however by picking the Body Builder Breakfast (5-egg white omelette with tomatoes, peppers, and onions, and wheat toast) and the obligatory pancake on the side (which was absolutely ginormous, by the way) but I succumbed to the French Toast Breakfast Sandwich (2-eggs atop grilled French toast with melted cheese and bacon) with a side of hash browns.

I really like this place for its friendliness. It can't be easy to run a diner, (this one is apparently family-owned) and we've been a lot of places where the food just isn't served with smiles. This place is the real deal, and no doubt has won over many of the locals who come back time and again. Yay for diners!
