The Pendleton's location is ideal for quick trips to other destinations just a few miles down the road. So, if you're in the mood for some new breakfast spots to try, you should check out these two great picks that are only 4 to 5 miles away from our apartments in Cranberry.

THE WALNUT GRILL

Located in Wexford, PA, the Walnut Grill just began offering a full breakfast menu. Featuring cage-free eggs, you can select from a variety of griddled pancakes, egg dishes, frittatas, and specialty items. You'll find fun twists on breakfast staples that are well worth a try. For example, the Walnut Grill offers creme brûlée French toast with caramelized walnuts, street tacos with eggs, candied bacon, chipotle aioli, guacamole, pico, and breakfast potatoes, and even a protein bowl highlighting Asian flavors with watermelon radish, Asian slaw, cilantro, turkey sausage, and cage-free poached eggs.

With so many selections and new takes on tried and true breakfast favorites, you're sure to find something that awakens your palate!

BAKN

As the name alludes to, this restaurant's specialty is bacon! Head Chef Randy Tozzie is a winner of multiple local culinary awards, including the American Culinary Federation Chef of the Year for Pittsburgh in 2012. According to the restaurant website, Chef Randy has worked diligently over the last ten years refining his recipes to create a restaurant with a focus on "hearty breakfast fare with a modern twist." Bakn is located in Marshall Village in Warrendale, PA. At Bakn, the menu showcases a fantastic selection of artful breakfast sandwiches, eggs and omelets, bread-inspired morning eats, and heartier choices such as "Chicken & 'Cakes" featuring crispy chicken on bacon-stuffed cakes with a bourbon-maple syrup.

If you're feeling like a more sophisticated morning dish, you'll have plenty of choices such as the slow-braised short ribs with creamy Parmesan polenta, applewood smoked bacon, and a sunny-side up egg with tomatoes and scallions. The breakfast sandwiches are equally refined. Try the #2 showcasing pan-seared salmon topped with red onion marmalade, tomato, peppery arugula, and a caper aioli all on sourdough bread.
