Isaly Co — Restaurant in West View

I have known about this place for many years, from when I was newer to Pittsburgh and helped manage the Dunkin Donuts nearby (a pretty dreadful experience overall), to hearing about it on a Rick Sebak documentary. But until today, I had never managed to stop by.

I was looking for a restaurant that was open for late breakfast on Memorial Day (one of the more rare days my entire family has a morning off together), and Isaly's fit the bill. The location is awash in the yesteryear- it truly feels like not much has changed inside in a many decades, which gives it a special nostalgic touch, if you're into that kind of thing.

I had the Barnyard sandwich, and I was a bit surprised at how good it the mishmash of items was. The rest of my family all enjoyed their various choices, and the waitress who seemed to be manning the entire small dining room was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a nice breakfast at a fair price in a place that eeks history and tradition of the area- I'd say it's worth a stop if you're in or around the...

Yet another FOODIE’S DELIGHTFUL DINER RECOMMENDATION.👏👏👏. The American Diner tradition 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 is alive and very well indeed!

This is truly is a pleasing throwback to the 70’s, setup and decor. It’s apparently a Pittsburgh classic.

The menu (breakfast and luncheon) is short and sweet, sign of mastery of traditional American diner brunch.

Any of the omelettes are outstanding, though I’m partial to the Irish Omelet—not sure what makes it Irish but corned beef and Swiss cheese neatly wrapped in scrambled crepe of eggs is scrumptious😎😎😎.

The Slammer Sandwich looks to be their signature. A half-pounder of Isaly’s Chipped Ham (good for either breakfast or luncheon) topped with onions and feta cheese is most enjoyable! 🤩🤩🤩

The coffee is freshly brewed and strong!

It's GREAT to see that a PITTSBURGH Institution & Legacy still has a piece of It's DELICIOUS HISTORY Alive & Surviving. I Fondly Remember their CHIPPED HAM, Their Cold & CHERISHED KLONDIKES, Their Homemade MILKSHAKES & Great FOUNTAIN DRINKS, Their In-Store made SANDWICHES & So many other DELECTABLE Menu Choices that there's NOT ENOUGH Space to list them. My AUNTS & UNCLES always like to treat My COUSINS & I to the "ISALY'S COMPANY STORE" on Perry Highway in WEST VIEW. I was VERY HAPPY to discover that this TASTY DESTINATION is still OPEN Today & Tempting Many Area Residents to its...
