I was visiting Pittsburgh with some first timers and had to bring them to Pamela's! I used to live in Squirrel Hill so only went to the location there. I really liked the board game theme at the Oakland location - it made for some fun conversation while waiting for our food. We also enjoyed some Trivial Pursuit Q&A!
Food was delicious. They are known for their Lyonnaise potatoes and crepes, and so that is what I recommended to the group. The lyonnaise potatoes are creamy, oniony, deliciousness. I did wish that mine had more crispy parts - those are my favorite! The crepes are buttery and fluffy in the middle, but with really good crispy edges!
I opted for lunch and made a mistake. I didn't find the club sandwich particularly good. The turkey was thick cut rather than deli meat, but it was kind of dry. They also put pickle slices on top of the bread, which made the bread soggy.
Everyone else enjoyed their food. In terms of non-standard items, my husband really liked the chorizo hotcakes!
