I have had pancakes at many restaurants up and down the east coast as it is my favorite breakfast staple in every major city NYC, DC, Charlotte, Atlanta, Charleston, etc. and simply none come close. I always make time to stop at Pamela's when I am in Pittsburgh. Oakland location was nice, clean, and service staff was amazing!

We visited while checking out Pitt, and most of the dining options in the area were quick-service places favored by students. This was one of the few sit-down options for breakfast. The menu featured typical diner fare, nothing overly fancy, but the food was excellent and the service was incredibly friendly. I appreciated how the staff worked together, ensuring that someone was always available to check on us. The potatoes, pancakes, waffles, and coffee were all delicious. It was conveniently located within walking distance from our hotel and the university, so I can't speak to the parking situation if you decide to drive. The prices were reasonable too. I highly recommend it!
