Wow, what a delightful experience! I visited Pamela's last November and it was bustling with activity. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes to get a table, but knowing how popular it is, the wait was not as bad as we had anticipated. We ordered the Morning After Breakfast, which was average, but the real standout was the hotcakes—they were the best I've ever tasted! If you go to Pamela's, you absolutely have to get the Strawberry Hotcakes. They are phenomenal—crispy on the edges, fluffy in the middle, and bursting with sweet strawberry flavor. Seriously, you have to try them!

First time there: service was fast, atmosphere was comfortable. My Tex-Mex omelette was awesome, and their potatos were incredible.
