| - Today I was in a Pamela's Pancake Coma. After ingesting two of these famous little devils, I proceeded to race to the airport (Because we left the restaurant too late) and missed my flight back to Boston. I am writing this waiting for 5 hours, and I still am not hungry for lunch. At least I ended my trip home well.
This story, only validates the fact that when growing up in Pittsburgh, Pamela's is the best staple breakfast joint. The previous location in Squirrel Hill was a tiny little hut, but now, the new Pamela's Upstreet takes over the old Panera space on Murray Avenue and includes garage door-style front patio.
My staple at Pamela's has to be the crispy crepe-like chocolate chip, banana stuffed pancakes! They are thin and decadent. Buttery and rich. After eating two of these, you will be stuffed, happy and ready for a mid-morning nap (or a missed flight) I also love that they also have a special called "The Morning After," Which, I feel like describes the quality of Pamela's "Hangover Cure." Also, don't forget to try the semi-famous potatoes alongside a carafe of hot coffee for 1.95 pp!
My only riff is that I find it problematic that our server was busy and couldn't be that attentive. I'm sure the weekends are a circus show, but I still give them 5 stars. It's a diner people!
Maybe next time I'll eat at Pamela's before the day of my flight. So I can stuff my face, and go home to take a nap.
