Guests rave about the delicious home fries and crepe pancakes, complemented by a friendly and efficient staff. With cash-only payments and a cozy setting, this eatery promises a fulfilling breakfast experience that is truly worth the visit.
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!
Breakfast. Great Pancakes!! Can't beat this place with a stick!
First time there: service was fast, atmosphere was comfortable. My Tex-Mex omelette was awesome, and their potatos were incredible.
Located in the heart of the University of Pittsburgh Oakland neighborhood youll find this little gem. Fantastic breakfast with nostalgia and great service. Try the potatoes with your meal. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back!
We were first time visitors and the energy of the place was palpable. The staff were friendly and fast. The food was INCREDIBLE! We loved the old school games and seeing some we had never knew about. If you're craving some good home cooked food, definitelystop at Pamela's
