Tom's Diner

Ahhh - Saturday Breakfast in Pittsburgh = yum, yum, yum! Today we headed to Tom's Diner in Dormont. Third time we've been in Dormont for Saturday breakfast this year, and curiously enough, also the 3rd of Tom's Diner's we've visited in Pittsburgh. (Penny's Diner on South Side and OPA! in Castle Shannon are also part of the crew.) So while the menus aren't *exactly* the same, let's just say there's a fair amount of déjà vu going on. 
This is definitely my favorite of the three - it has totally captured the whole 50's Diner thing, right down to the shiny chrome tables and sparkled plastic booths. Feels like "the" place to go after school to see and be seen, with the girls in poodle skirts and the guys in leather jackets.
I love the changing seasons in Pittsburgh, and the best part of this time of year is the fall harvest. And you know what that brings to breakfast menus across the country . . . PUMPKIN PANCAKES!!!!  Happily, Tom had them as a melt-in-your-mouth special today, so that was my pick, along with a side of bacon. And husband found yumminess in the form of Greek breakfast burrito - eggs, gyro meat, tomatoes, feta, rolled in a tortilla with a side of gyro sauce.
 
Tom's Diner is definitely a Pittsburgh classic, and has the ambiance to boot. So all in all a safe bet for Saturday breakfast in Pittsburgh.
