Why is this nondescript, hard-to-find restaurant so popular? Come in for a bite, and the reason will be clear. The cracked vinyl of the booths may not be beautiful, and the hundreds of photographs lining the walls may seem strange at first, but these will mean little once your big, syrupy waffle or huge sausage-and-pepper omelet arrives.

Though breakfast is the star meal here, crowds don't subside during lunchtime, either -- favorites include burgers and sandwiches, many assembled with buttered Mancini's toast (any true Pittsburgher knows Mancini's) and served with an unsteady heap of waffle-cut fries. Gab & Eat is low on elbowroom, and you might have to kill a few minutes while waiting for a booth (or even a counter stool), but the delay is worthwhile. This cozy, down-home diner offers prices and flavors that can't be beat.

    When I want a great breakfast I head over to Gab N Eat. I love the Mancini's toast and their homefries are the best.

    Sweet sausage & cheese omlet, HALF an order of homefries, Mancini's toast and great bottomless cup of coffee. Don't forget the waitress', Becky, Vicky, Shirley and Keebie. Also all the Gabin' you want from Sue, Kerry, Pete and the Gang.

  • Best Breakfast!

    We went to Gab & Eat for the first time today. It was the perfect breakfast. The homefries are delicious and the Mancini's toast is perfect. I can't wait until next Sunday to go back. You can never go wrong with a place that lists dippy eggs on the menu!

  • Don't forget the gab!

    Aside from awsome food, served in generous portions at what I would call cheap prices, you get the gab, friendly banter that has been a halmark of Gab n Eat since before George opened the doors oh so long ago. It is truely an Icon among Pittburgh eateries, and hands down the most noteable restaurant left in the carnegie area. If you have not been, do your self a big favor and go, go hungry, I am sureyou will enjoy. I know my wife and I have for many years.

  • Simply the BEST

    Review rating : 5out of 5   rhart147 - 02/01/2007

    The original greasy spoon that we all remember from days gone by. Portions and quality are not to be believed. Come hungry and prepare yourself for more good food than you can eat. Portions are big enough for two (or more)! Fresh sausage patties, piles of bacon, loads of homefries, Mancini's bread, try all the rest, this is the best.

  • GREAT!!
