    I came here with my MIL and 13 month-old daughter. It is easily missed, tucked away in the corner of the plaza, behind Dunkin' Donuts. But, thanks to other reviewers, I easily found it. It's a small cozy restaurant--a mixture of booths, tables and counter-space), with nostalgic decor (quotes, photos of long-gone Hollywood). The kitchen is open, so you an hear the conversations behind the counter. Some of the inside could be spruced up, but I could care less if the food's good. I had the sausage gravy and biscuits, which I'm certain is an entire heavenly stick of butter, and more calories than I need in a day. It was amazing. I could taste the sausage seasonings (was it sage?), and the biscuit was fluffy and perfect. My eggs were scrambled perfectly, and the hashbrowns were actual potatoes that I'm fairly certain are more fresh than frozen. My MIL had a strawberry crepe, which was stuffed with delicious cream cheese, and actually a crepe! Coffee was standard, but hot and refills were timely. Service was quick and pleasant and prices were fair. In the end, I'm still thinking about my breakfast, and am definitely returning! I have an entire menu to explore!

    We had a late breakfast at this restaurant. I had it bookmarked to go. It's tucked into a small corner of a shopping plaza. The sign is pink and black. When you walk in there are a few tables to the left. To the right are more tables and some booths. The restaurant is small. The top half of the walls are painted a dark pink-almost plum color. The bottom half is white. There are pictures and quotes on the walls by women like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. There is a bar that you can sit and eat at. I was disappointed to see the laminate tiles falling off of the bar. It made the place seem a bit shabby. Our waiter was a nice young man. They give you small muffins coveted with cinnamon and sugar to nibble on while waiting for your meal. My son ordered The Chop. It was 2 eggs (made any way), 2 meats ( bacon, ham or sausage, hash browns, and a huge pancake. It was a huge amount if food. He ate 2/3 of his food and brought home most of the pancake and some of his bacon. I was excited to see Biscuits & Gravy on the menu so I ordered those. I hadn't read the menu but it tells that they come with eggs and hash browns. I ordered my eggs scrambled and they were very good. The has browns could have used another minute or two of cooking but they were also good. I ordered a side of bacon. It was more chewy than crunchy. It could have been used a little more time on the grill as well. After eating the eggs, bacon and hash browns I was full but really ready to dig into the biscuits and gravy. I was saving the best for last. I took a bite and something wasn't quite right. I was trying to figure out what was different. On my second bite I figured it out. They had used sweet Italian sausage instead of breakfast sausage. And thought it was supposed to be a white-ish country gravy it was almost brown and tasted like a brown gravy. I was disappointed. I boxed them to take them home to my husband who would eat them. I would go back again to try a different menu item or two, but I wouldn't rush back.

    This is a diner type place to get a delicious breakfast with a home cooked feel. Family owned and operated and located on Curry Hollow Road in the plaza behind Dunkin Donuts. Service is always fast and it has never been too busy when we have been there which is good because seating is limited. Portions are large, especially the pancakes! Food is a little greasy sometimes but I think you should expect that from diner type food. My favorite so far is the French toast but I loved the blueberry pancake too. You also simply can not beat the prices here! My husband and I can eat here for less than $20.00! I will come back!

    This is going to be an I want to love this place type review. The place is rather small with only a hand full of tables. The staff who I think are all family were very kind and prompt. I went with the southern belle which is hash browns eggs ham and biscuits and gravy. While the flavors were good I found it very salty. I finished off several glasses of water while eating my meal. I also didn't like the hash browns. They were shredded potatoes overly salted and had no crunch. I wish they had a home fry option. The biscuits and gravy were also very salty. I really enjoyed the texture of the biscuits. The sausage I believe was made in house and was very good but to salty. The little man had a waffle. It was as big as his head. I stole a bite and it was very good. Made me with I would have ordered one. I would come back here. Hopefully it was just an off day. Maybe I'll order a pancake or waffle to cancel out the salt with some sweet next time.

    Secret is right. Tucked in the corner of a mostly vacant strip mall, it's easy to see how people miss this place. The only way I found it was because of a reference to the Dunkin' Donuts out by the main road. Once again Yelpers steered me in the right direction. What a great breakfast place (closes at 12:30). A creative menu that is very well prepared. I had the Eggs Benedict Baltimore style which substitutes Canadian bacon for... Crab Cakes. Delicious! The eggs were poached perfectly (not watery or underdone, but with soft yokes) and the crab cakes had a good deal of crab held together well. The hollandaise was a little sweet, but was still very good. On a Wednesday morning, business was steady, but there was not wait at all. They apparently do a good catering business as well. This place definitely goes on the "go to" list.

    I have been here a few times now for breakfast and have not been disappointed. The eggs Benedict were great with perfectly poached eggs. The strawberry crepes are delicious. The pancakes are huge! Biggest pancakes I have ever seen. They must flip these things with a snow shovel (Uncle Buck reference). The inside is small and a bit run down but the food is really good so it is worth it for a weekend breakfast to stop.

    Been here for breakfast several times now. The service is great, the food is even better! The place is small so go off-peak hours. The breakfast burrito is really good and so are the pancakes and crepes. Overall a really good place to eat that is kind of hidden.

    Breakfast was pretty good here. I had some awesome PB&J French toast, but at only two whole slices for $7.95 they were a tad pricey. For $2.99 I got the secret deal, which is for any two sides. So, I got two eggs and hash browns, which was more than a fare price. The hash browns could have been more crispy, but now I'll know to ask in the future. Overall a nice place, with decent food and no wait to get seated. They do have limited hours and some items on the menu are a bit pricey. The coffee was pretty good. Overall, I'd probably give them a 3.5 if I could.

    By far my most favorite breakfast place in Southwest PA. This family owned business is the best way to start and end your weekend. Decorated with quotes of love and empowerment, there are pictures of some beloved entertainers on the walls and fresh paint. The menu is written on the chalkboard wall and there's so much to choose from. The chef usually comes out to say hello and you can tell that she's no stranger to the community bc most of the patrons know her by name. Anyway, great breakfast, great service and they also cater.

    Was excited to try this place after all the good reviews, but was pretty disappointed. The food was just bad. That's all there is to it. I'm not sure how to pinpoint it, but everything just tasted a bit off. The ham was like rubber, pancake tasted just kind of wrong and the hash browns were somehow bad tasting as well. The only good thing was the bacon. I'm all for dives, but this place appeared in need of a good deep clean, and they somehow had no pop except diet Pepsi? The whole place was kinda strange. And not in a good way.

    Been here twice now & the food has been fantastic both times. Our little secret has the best sausage gravy I've had since I've come back to pittsburgh. Also this past weekend I really enjoyed the surf n turf. Which is a strip steak Benedict & crab cake Benedict, & shredded potatoes. Which were seasoned perfect. Thank you our little secret for being that place I can go to for breakfast. Our little secret is the #1 bfast spot in the south hills. It is heads & shoulders above places like the dor-stop & Pamela's.

    I drive past this plaza almost daily and can't believe I never knew this restaurant was in there. We wanted to go somewhere different this morning and looked on yelp for places nearby. I'm so happy we decided to come here. It was probably one of the best breakfasts we've had in a long time. We can't wait to go back! The prices were great, the service friendly, and the food and coffee were excellent!

    LOVED this place. Seating is tight but it is worth the wait. Eggs Benedict - Baltimore style were AMAZING. Great little place for brunch. We get there super early and the owners usually sit with us and chat. So cozy!

    Only suckers skip this place and go to the Dunkin Donuts next door. Out Little Secret is great! The food is homemade, and the portions are very generous. The breakfast burrito is so good- I basically wanted to crawl inside and take a nap. The sausage meat on the breakfast sandwiches is reminiscent of a beef burger- not those slimy patties you get at fast food places. I've been a few times and I can never decide what to get (breakfast or lunch) because I want to order so many things.

    I love this place! I came here for birthday breakfast with my family after reading the stellar reviews on here. Another win for the Yelp community. The food was amazing and unbelievably affordable. One of the great things about this place is that the menu includes pancakes, waffles, french toast, and crepes. I don't know a lot of breakfast places that serve all of those options. Not only do they have each of those options, but there are a variety of options for each. They also, of course, have a variety of savory dishes, omelets, and benedict. We arrived a little after 11am (they are only open until 12:30pm), and the place was still pretty full, but we were able to sit down right away. I ordered the crab cake benedict after reading all the good reviews on here and I was not disappointed. I am a huge fan of hollandaise sauce and not only was this sauce delicious, there was PLENTY of it. The crab cakes were delicious and the eggs were perfectly poached. My dad ordered the french toast because I promised him this place was legit. He usually won't order french toast from restaurants because he is always disappointed, but he gave this his seal of approval, and I have to agree. Delicious. My boyfriend ordered the steak omelet. All I have to say is: wow. This omelet was HUGE and came with big chunks of real steak overflowing out of the omelet. Although they didn't ask how he wanted the steak cooked, he commented that it was cooked perfectly and said it was delicious(I don't eat steak, so I can't say first hand). My mom and sister both got the regular eggs benedict and were similarly blown away. The only thing I really wasn't blown away by--and this is a personal preference thing--was the crepes. My boyfriend and I split a strawberry cream crepe. The strawberries were delicious and the cream was to die for, but I was just not a fan of the crepe itself. It was a little too fluffy and rich for my taste and didn't have that slight crisp that I have come to appreciate from other favorite breakfast spots in the city. It was very tasty and we ate all of it, it just wasn't my style. I live in the south hills and I usually travel into Pittsburgh for a good meal but this place is sure to be a staple in my life from now on. I cannot believe how delicious and affordable this place is. I can't wait to go back and try something new.

    I used Our Little Secret for my baby shower and was beyond happy with the food and service. Since I was not having a wedding catered I wasn't able to do a tasting so we went to the café for breakfast before booking the catering service and the breakfast food was awesome so we went with it. Everything was great and there was more than enough for the number of people we scheduled for. They were prompt with delivery and their prices are quite reasonable. The owner is so pleasant and easy to work with and helped provide us exactly what we were looking for. After my shower I got COUNTLESS numbers of compliments on how good the food was. I will definitely call them again the next time I need something catered it was fabulous! :-)

    Missy catered our wedding in October 2014. Let me start off with saying that their selection is incredible! We couldn't believe that she and her staff handmake EVERYTHING! We received rave reviews from our guests on the quality of the food. This goes a long way since wedding food usually isn't that good. Her staff is polite and courteous as well! They even worked around and provided options for the few guests who had food allergies. Bravo to Our Little Secret!

    Shhh. Sequestered in the corner of a half-abandoned shopping center off of Curry Hollow Road in a part of Pittsburgh all too many residents pretend doesn't exist squats yet another All-American Diner. Pink, black, and silver accentuate the interiors from ceiling to floor, from stool to counter. Framed pictures of Classical Hollywood luminaries such as Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Frank Sinatra ornament the flamingo walls along with stenciled-on quotes from famous people, agreeably reminding me of Bridgewater's Mezza Luna Cafe. On a chalkboard one can view the entire menu. In overall spirit, my particular brunch at Our Little Secret strongly parallels the one had just 24 hours ago at Waffles INCaffeinated, and that includes uncostly breakfast fare of the uppermost merit. Gracing our paper-cloaked table were escutcheon-shaped plates that held the following dishes: Baltimore Style Eggs Benedict, Peanut Butter & Banana Crepes, and Kay's Chop Special which came with her choice of french toast. Deja vu? Ya think? There were differences, however. My Baltimore Style Eggs Benedict came with full-on crabcakes instead of morsels of crab and the tops of each were lightly scorched for presentation. I told our waiter that these crabcakes were better than those served by Baltimore House, a nearby seafood specialty restaurant, and I wasn't just blowin' smoke -- these contained loads of REAL, fibrous crabmeat (are ya readin', Grant Bar?), and showed that great crabcakes don't necessarily have to be comprised of jumbo lump to be worthy (I'm thinking these were either made with special or backfin, both of which are just fine as far as my stomach goes). The outside was crackling, the inside was smooth, rich blessedness, the filler was minimal, and the two of them were had with the usual Eggs Benedict components for just under $11. And while we're walking down this street, let's talk about that hollandaise sauce. Goddamn, I was beginning to think that I'd never find an area restaurant that did one well. As much as I liked 'em, even Original Pancake House's hollandaise failed to tempt me (mom's is still best). Who knew I'd have eggs benedict two days in a row and that both would be glazed with a stunning mutha of a mother sauce? Citrusy, lardy, and dissolute, at first I scraped some of the xanthous gravy onto my fork and knife, savoring the sauce alone, dangerously coming close to ignoring (and it would have been tragic for these beauts to get cold) each gracefully poached egg, both of them bloated with ichorous yolk so sweltry, one wonders how it didn't solidify. Some agile cookery is going on in this kitchen. Properly saving them for dessert (sez me), the pair of Peanut Butter & Banana Crepes caused me to crave ice cold milk (or more Sierra Mist) with their hard palate-clinging properties and their briny, nectarous, carbohydratic nature. Unlike Waffles INC. where the peanut butter is melded with whipped cream (a chiffon) to keep it from being too rich (as WINC's co-owner Josh confessed to me), OLS doesn't wuss out (not that I didn't love WINC's chiffon). So yes, you'll be drinking lots of liquid with it, but you'll love it. Furthering the richness were the omelete-ish, custardesque, quivering, canary crepes themselves that were sifted with powdered sugar and swollen with the titular contents. "Ooof!" I declared after finishing the last one. Who said crepes were dainty, now? Splintery taters littered our plates like hay that had spilled from the back of a truck, and they were as oily, crunchy, and starchy as the best hash house shredded tubers tend to be. We arrived around 11:30AM (an hour before closing), and I was initially relieved that we had no trouble finding a booth to sit in, but as I overheard the co-owner complain during our terrific brunch that they weren't doing much business for dinner, I felt somewhat disheartened. As I alluded to at the start of this review, the plaza where OLS resides has a number of empty storefronts. It would be a shame if this cool, bantam canteen closes along with the department store and supermarket before it. So, my sermon to the local foodiesphere on this gleaming Sunday is to let the "secret" slip; if your area chuckwagon is too busy to accommodate you on a weekend morn (say Dor-Stop's got a 45 minute wait in effect), drive over to Pleasant Hills for a most pleasant brunch, and be sure to tell everyone in your circle to follow you there. These folks could use the commerce. P.S. Our Little Secret also caters (duh!), serves cocktails (for dinner only, but they made an exception for a regular who was having a Bloody Mary with his breakfast), and has a interesting "take out meal plan" (go to the website for details).

    Breakfast was fantastic. My poached eggs were done perfectly, and it was just the right amount of food at a very good price. My son, who's very picky eater, ate almost all of his french toast! I highly recommend this place! We'll be coming here regularly!

    We had a really nice brekafast here recently. Darren had eggs benny with crabcakes and I had dippy eggs with bacon, hash browns, and french toast. The interiors are cute with pink walls and old movie star pictures all around with quotes painted on. It looks like an old-fashioned diner inside. Eeven the plates were cute! Cool place with good food hidden in a strip mall.
