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.

Entire staff ignored most of us in line. When we were finally seated, waitress was rude/unfriendly. Uniformed patrons were being tripped over to make them happy. This is a good thing; but EVERY CUSTOMER counts. GO TO DELUCA'S INSTEAD

People rave about the pancakes but I love the home fries and the french toast is great too. There are several locations, and people debate which one is best; but I like the one in the Strip District best with Shadyside right behind it.
