Editorial Review for Pamela's – by Sam Edelmann
The Scene
There are three Pamela's, each with its own style and decor. All are simply decorated and very clean. Service is fast and friendly, and there's always a fresh pot of coffee circulating to warm up ever-present mugs on the tables. All three locations bustle at breakfast and lunch, and there is often a line.
The Food
It's best known for breakfast, and the star attraction is the pancakes, which are extremely thin with crisp edges. The most popular pancake fillings are fresh strawberries, brown sugar and sour cream. There are also excellent egg dishes with crisp home fries. Corned beef hash lovers shouldn't miss Pamela's version. There are numerous omelettes, as well as cinnamony French toast. For lunch, the club sandwich is a big seller, as is the Greek salad.

Not sure why the address is Forbes avenue. The service was bad and the food reminded me of another rest. that all the choices on the menu ALL taste the same. Will avoid in the future. Not a good experience.

Pamela's has been in business for many years, but I can't figure out why exactly. The service was, well, absent. I waited at the door for someone to acknowledge me, yet no one sat me, waited on me; nothing. Left, then told others of my experience and they said......menu is not wide enough, service is average to below average. Coffee is bad. I probably would not waste my time trying to return to the questionable #1 rated restaurant. Should not have made the list.
