This is definitely not a fancy breakfast or brunch place but it is a very very good breakfast place. The food is very delicious and the portion is huge. The Tex mex is very good. We also tried the the mushroom omelette. The coffee is good as well and they have plenty of options for sweets but we never get to try them as the food is very filling It's is on walnut street so a very nice area Try to go on weekdays as the wait on the weekend is very long

These. Are. The. Pancakes. Ever since The Rustic closed in Rocky River, Ohio. My son and I have been on the hunt for our #1 pancake with maximum syrup receptivity, a honey-brown complexion, and impossibly crispy edges. Our search has ended! Granted, it’s a 5 hour roundtrip from our home and infested with Steelers fans, but IT IS WORTH IT. Do yourself a favor and get these pancakes in your belly now.

Are they kidding me with those pancakes? Best pancakes I’ve ever had. I don’t even care for pancakes. Light, fluffy and airy with crunchy crispy fried bits in the edges. I’m in town for 4 days and already planning how to get there again before I leave. Must go!! Edit: I went a second time and you gotta get the lyonnaise potatoes. I thought the Obama painting was just cheeky and cute but turns out Pamela and Obama are tight. Cool!!

A true pittsburgh experience! Close tables and great conversations. Although they are short staffed our waitress made sure we were well taken care of and didn't skip a beat.

Really nice busy and bubbly atmosphere, and the wait was half as long as expected. Would highly recommend their Famous Lyonnaise potatoes and hotcakes. Great brunch diner, and I will be coming back!

Pamela’s is must go in Pittsburgh. The pancakes and the potatoes are the best around. They still provide generous servings for the price!

Pancakes are so delicious they don’t even need syrup. Coffee was piping hot, just how I like it. Eggs were eggs – no surprise there. A little bit of a wait. Friendly staff. A bit rundown inside.

The pancake crepes were FABULOUS with their crispy edges! Unlike anything we’ve had before. Great atmosphere and excellent service. The only complaint is that we live 750 miles away, otherwise we’d be eating here weekly.

The upstairs is closed so downstairs where the restaurant is feels oddly empty. The dim lighting doesn't help, so it just sort of has an underground vibe. The staff is super friendly, the food is awesome. The Lyonnaise potatoes look burned but are actually cooked beautifully and are full of flavor. The crepe-like pancakes are buttery and the lacy edges are the best. The eggs were cooked beautifully and well seasoned. The toast was literally covered in melting butter. I was really happy with my breakfast and had enough left overs for the next day.
