I used to really, really, REALLY like Pamela's.
The crepe-like pancakes are my favorites in Pittsburgh and nothing will ever change that. I like 'em plain, with none of that sugary nonsense rolled in the middle. The croissant french toast is also another amazing dish, but sort of lame because it comes with no sides.
The majority of the rest of the food is horribly underseasoned. That corned beef hash was an absolute joke. It's legit just the regular potatoes with corned beef sprinkled in, not cooked to meld all the flavors or anything.
As of late, coming to Pamela's is a hassle. The crowded seating, the rushed and inattentive service, and the cash only system all really bother me. If you're gonna visit, go for breakfast and don't get your hopes up about much else.
