BAD SERVICE

by js049

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

• Pros: None
• Cons: Waitress was rude

Great breakfast!

by Burghgirl

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.

• Pros: Yummy and filling breakfast in a nice atmosphere
• Cons: You will wait for a table on Sunday morning (but worth it)

Best Breakfast I've EVER Had

by MeganElizabeth84

Yes, you will wait in line and yes, the food will be greasy. However, I wouldn't want it any other way. I've never had a thin pancake with crispy edges and filling the pancakes with brown sugar and sour cream along with the fruit of your choice is complete culinary genius. The home fries are also the best I've ever had and they were cooked to a crispy perfection.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Wait

Terrible food

by meklein915

So many people talk about Pamela's, so I was in Squirrel Hill and thought I would try it. I took two bites of my strawberry pancakes and could not stomach any more. It was greasy. Grease was the only flavor I could taste. When the waitress asked me how it was I said "not very good". She offered to bring me something else, but after watching them cook, I could tell that everything would taste like grease. They charged me the full amount for two bites of food. I will NEVER eat here again! Oh, it's cash only.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Bad food, limited menu, slow service, cash only (avoiding taxes, I'm sure)

Poor - Avoid this rest.

by spreadator

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.

Nice looking, but poor service. Don't let the image fool you.

by mjzyc

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.
