Pitt Grill Restaurant

I love Pitt Grill. I’m not even sure why, but I do. I don’t go there often and it’s almost always after sundown, but it’s still something I love.
It’s Waffle House. It’s not a former one that was bought out or anything, but it would be easy to convince people that was the case. The menu, seating, cooking, building, and employees are all pretty much Waffle House style. It’s better than Waffle House, though.
Let’s be honest. It’s a place to come early morning or super late night to get that craving that you’d needed for greasy hashbrowns and an omelette chock full with too many meats. It’s not the cleanest, best, or most hyped joint, but it’s friendly, fast, and it’s tasty. And it’s got a great sign. I’m glad to see that Pitt Grill survived the «redevelopment» of the stadium area.

Looks like a hole in a wall and it is…
Great food though!
The prices are really cheap…
It is a greasy spoon but
the staff is always really nice…
They always make you feel welcome…

A little scary looking. definitely a hole in the wall dive of a place but had surprisingly great service and the standard diner fare. We had breakfast… it was good… if you mess up eggs, pancakes and bacon… you’re in trouble.

Don’t do it. Dirty, skeevy. And what kind of coffee shop doesn’t have muffins available? #BREAKFASTFAIL

I figured this place was going to be a charming greasy spoon from the outside, but it turned out to be just greasy.
I happened to get a waitress on her first day, and it was a challenge just to order with her.
A long while later, she brought the meals.
There were three of us and the OK breakfasts were all given to the wrong person.
As I took my first bite of pancakes, I noticed a line of ants walking along the wall next to me.
20 minutes passed by after the meal and no check. I finally went up to ask for it and pay, and you’d think the waitress never experienced a calculator.
On the way out, I stopped in the rest room, and it was straight out of a horror movie — smelly, dim, and just creepy. There was a big bucket under the sink to catch the dripping pipe and the «water» in it was brown and horrible.
I should have gone to the Walgreens down the street and grabbed a Pop-​Tart instead.

Best pancakes in town. Ive been there around 10 times and I have only had the 2×4 there but it has never disappointed.

I went to this diner yesterday for lunch and found the place charming, but the service was pretty bad.
A former Waffle House, you can still see their touches in the place. From the counter service to the booths is a classice WH.
Unfortunately they were overmatched & understaffed for the amount of traffic from the super bowl. The place was packed and only had 1 server & 1 cook, who while both busting ass to stay ahead, were failing miserably.
So while the food was average, they lose a star for sloooow service.

Man, I wish we had more «independent» diners like this in the DFW area.
frater m. is so right about this place looking like an old, rundown Waffle House (in fact, I asked the server if it was and she claimed that it never has been).
But don’t let that scare you, this place looks clean even if everything looks a little worn with a new bargain paint job.
Our server was attentive and friendly (the cook would just pop out from the back whenever an order showed up, then would slink away when finished).
Jukebox in the corner, a couple of old regulars… Man, I just can’t shake that this place isn’t the Waffle House’s long lost older brother.
Breakfast was pretty good (I was a little worried when I noticed that they were using Great Value products — Wal-Mart’s generic grocery brand).
I had the Spanish omelet (which had the best tasting tomatoes) and the (almost) mashed potato-​ed hash browns (which I love).
This place is missing out on a great opportunity, considering that the Dallas Cowboys stadium is sooo. close (right across the street), I’m kind of surprised that The Pitt Grill hasn’t created some huge original Frankenstein cholesterol ridden guilty pleasure on bread named «Super Arlington **insert name of opposing team** Exploder» or «JumboStack». something.
Maybe they need a Cowboy player to come in there and create one, I don’t know, but this is exactly the kind of place that should have one.

You know you’re one step away from being crazy-​cat-​lady after you’ve become a regular at Pitt Grill. I joke. But I am a Sunday afternoon regular at the Pitt Grill across from the stadium.
See, I’m the best friend ever. I drop off J with his friends at the game. They pay me – I’m not THAT nice. And I pick them up at the Pitt Grill. I’ve tried several items on the menu. The hamburger knocked my socks OFF. There were grilled onions involved. Bun was buttered and toastey. I’ve also had the chili. And yes, there has been pie repeat with cheese.
The folks are super super friendly. Now with football season only three games away from being over and only one of those in Arlington, I’m sort of sad that I won’t be in Arlington every other Sunday.
Get me a cat.

This place is greasey spoon greatness.
If you like Waffle House but wish it were older, less maintained, grimier, had a greater number of decrepit barflies (dinerflies?) with emphesema and cheaper food then this is your place. I say that with love.
If you like ancient diners get here and eat before Jerry Jones or the Arlington health department and/​or building inspector shuts it down. You can thank me later. Or better, buy me a cuppa joe at the counter if you see me at the Pitt Grill.

I went to this place to eat with my mom because I didn’t want to be stuck at discount tires. I have driven by it many times and have never been compelled to stop in. Well I was in for a surprise. This place is pretty cheap and not bad at all. It is quite greasy but what do you expect when you’re eating hash browns, corned beef hash, and fried eggs? The corned beef hash were served extra crispy– the way I like it. Too bad it wasn’t made from scratch. I saw them dump it out of a can.
Why do I give them 4 stars? They have the nicest group of people hanging out there and frankly, there aren’t many old school diners anymore. The food isn’t amazing because I could have easily made it at home but it’s the kind of place my Grandpa can sit back and have a smoke while enjoying his coffee and pie.

The Pitt Grill is awesome. It’s on the way back to my house from Milo’s (my new «Cheers»), and it’s open 24 hours. I have been wanting to try this place every time I drive by because it looks like shit. It’s an old nasty, yellowed building, with this ridiculous light up arrow sign pointing to it. The front of the building simply reads «coffee shop», and it looks like a renovated trailer (AKA a TRUE diner).
My love of all things diners and truck stop compelled me to stop in after a short-​ish night of drinking at Milo’s.
There were probably only two other people in here, and both of them were talking to the waitress like they were just hanging out at her house. We ordered a huge breakfast which was LITERALLY ready in six minutes. The food wasn’t GREAT but it was good, and to be drunk and have pancakes, eggs, bacon and hash browns in about six minutes is PRICELESS.
Bathrooms that remind you of your grandparents house, friendly people who are crazy as bat shit, eating breakfast at 2am in an old trailer and a jukebox with Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, and Pantera gives this place an EASY four stars.
