May have trouble finding a parking spot or find a line of hungry patrons at the door waiting for a table but it 's totally worth it!! Usually get you in relative fast due to the quick turnover in tables. Staff is very efficient, very friendly, knowledgabable of the menu, willing/ able to make substitutions, overall top notch!! Don 't be surprised to have several servers wait on you they work as a team and they pool their tips. The restaurant is kind of small and you are typically close to your neighboring tables. Good way to see different dishes to get ideas for your next visit. It is a breakfast, brunch, lunch place. CASH ONLY. But there is an ATM just outside if you forget cash. We are frequent visitors and have never been disappointed! I always get breakfast. THE BEST BREAKFAST IN THE BURGH!!! Must haves: stuffed pancakes (choco chips and banana or strawberry both are outstanding I like to add walnuts makes it even tummier! Omelettes are great, had their special this morning, an cheesesteak omelette with steak, peppers, mushrooms onions and Swiss. Must try the lyoinnaise potatoes, they are out of this world!!! They have hamburgers, salads, and sandwiches too!! Put pamela 's on your 'to try ' list!! You will not be disappointed!!!! ;

There’s often a wait, but it’s definitely worth it. I appreciate that the potatoes always have a slight variation each time. I tend to stick to my usual order, which is the eggs with potatoes and toast, and I’ve never been let down.
