Q: This review was brought to you by the letter P. P is for patience and I hope you have some if you're choosing DeLuca's. My friends alerted me to the fact that they've never been to the Pittsburgh staple, DeLuca's. So after a rough previous day/night we decided we'd venture down to the Strip and get our fill on diner breakfast at noon on a Sunday. The line out of the door didn't sway our choice. We were in it for the long haul and what else can you expect, it was a beautiful Sunday and people were hungry. The four of us waited probably 20 minutes to get in and by this time we were very hungry and in desperate need of caffeine. The first "problem" with DeLuca's is that their menu is too expansive. Some would view this as a problem, myself included in that I have too much of a hard time deciding what I want to shove down my gullet. The waitress, a nice enough lady, swung by after a few minutes to get our drink orders. A round of water and coffee please. The drinks arrived soon there after and we finally figured out what we'd have to eat. The place was packed so expected to wait a bit for our food and we did probably another 20-30 minutes, which was fine. However, after finishing our coffees we weren't pleased with having to wait and wait for fill ups. As a former waiter this is a red x with me and coupled with the black grease encased around some of my homefries knocked this heavy weight in the Pittsburgh food scene down a peg. I enjoyed my meal though and it was definitely a huge portion as were all my buddy's. The fried chicken and biscuits with gravy, homefries, and eggs was exactly what I needed after a long day of brew festing and staying up way later than I am used to. The chicken was fried very well, moist on the inside, crispy exterior even with the gravy. Eggs were over easy as I ordered. The biscuits were warm and tasted homemade. And aside from a few homefries swimming in black grease from the griddle were exactly what you want in a homefry. Some crisp with that griddle fried skin and some mushy. DeLuca's doesn't need any help from Yelp and won't go out of business because of this review or any other review, it's a giant because of their portions, location, and history so go if you're patient and have a hunger for something greasy.

Q: Disappointed! This place is a half step up from a Subway. I'm sure it's ok for those who have not had the experience of a true New York Deli. The confusion of where to place an order was the first thing I noticed, as well as the next three unlucky customer's. A deli that does not serve fries; what's up with that? Sorry Jason's Deli, you flunked the test. OPTIONS:

Q: awful. awful. awful. awful. awful. I'm so sick of ontrac. Consistently late. A package was supposed to be delivered by 8pm. It's now 9pm still nothing. I finally complained to amazon and asked them to exclude ontrac as a carrier from now on. Drivers are late, throw packages, make excuses, or just dont show up. OPTIONS:
