★★★★★ 5.0 Casey Reho · Jul 2025

This place is cash only so be advised before you get there. You walk up and order and they bring it to your table. It’s good home style cooking. The place is very small and a little misleading. We kind of thought we were in the wrong place. Good thing there is a big sign that says Apollo cafe inside. It was very tasty and cost 20 bucks total for 2 people and it was a filling breakfast. Give it a try if you’re walking around PIT. We didn’t have to park since we walked from our hotel so I have no clue what parking would be like.

So yummy I got the Eggs Apollo and a cup of coffee perfect amount of food and only $9! Really nice staff delicious food and cute little diner atmosphere would definitely recommend

★★★★☆ 4.0 Kevin Werner · Mar 2025

Cash only, counter service, family owned diner. As with all good cash-only places they do have an ATM for you cashless folks. We had breakfast. Get something with potatoes, their fried potatoes are the bomb. Pleasant folks, but they are there to take your order and have you on your way. Would love to go back for lunch if I am ever in town for lunch. I got the steak and eggs. The steak was on the tough side, but for the price it was all good.

I think it’s the best BLT in the city, stacked with crispy bacon, accompanied by perfectly browned potatoes- and very reasonably priced! Love a hole in the wall family run spot that’s survived downtown, wins everytime over chain restaurants.

We found the Apollo Cafe by accident while spending the weekend visiting my son who attends college in Pittsburgh. Before we left, we wanted a quick breakfast with him so myself, my wife and other kids met him for a quick bite. What a great breakfast, wonderful people and nice little spot to enjoy everything. We are so glad we stopped here, so enjoyable before we left him to go home and one of the best meals we've had. Thank you again for the hospitality!
