Donut Shack

I’ve made this my weekly Sunday morning Breakfast! Food is like my grandmas homemade. Price is great but they only take cash.

Misleading name of the business.
Went there specifically hoping for homemade donuts, arrived before 9am to find only 14 donuts left. I excitedly asked if they were made there this morning and found out that actually they are brought in from the donut connection down the street. Disappointing to say the least!
So I paid an increased price for dumb donuts I could have gotten (& a bigger selection) down the road.
I can’t speak to their homemade breakfast as I didn’t try that, but certainly don’t go there looking for homemade fresh donuts!

I love this lil diner! Been here several times over the years, but this is the first time I could actually check-​in since using Unilocal.The Penn Hills address was correct, but the map location said it was in Squirrel Hill. Therefore, it said you were too far away to check-​in while inside the establishment. I messaged the people at Unilocal about and it appears they fixed it since I could check-​in today! I guess you could say I put Donut Shack on the map lol. I think all but once I’ve eaten breakfast here. Always leave here full and happy! The owner is a very nice lady and good cook. I like the nar seating area where you can watch your food being cooked. Prices and portions are great. I like the Ultimate and Big Ben breakfast meals. Not much parking out front, but some in the rear I believe. Love the nostalgic décor inside of the classic cars and such. Has a little corner dedicated to Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. Often a senior citizen hangout. I haven’t had their donuts before, but they gave a free one once to my girlfriend’s daughter. Thumbs up to this family owned establishment! I’ll be back soon.

I love this place. They cook everything directly in front of you. Go early on a Sunday, the lady who cooks is much better than the weekday cooks. This is the best local diner in the area. We have since moved out of Penn Hills and still make the occasional trip to the Donut Shack on Sunday mornings.

Great blueberry pancakes and home fries. My wife says their over easy eggs are perfect. Nice classic diner atmosphere and friendly staff make this a great place to grab breakfast.

Our family loves this place. Just a note that the address is correct but it is in Penn Hills not Squirrel Hill as noted. We eat Sunday breakfast here every week. The food is always great, cooked to order, with generous portions. Prices are reasonable and the service is fast. Anyone in the area should definitely stop in.
