i went online and searched for best brunch in town and this place popped up. after reading the reviews i thought i would try out a popular brunch spot in Pittsburgh. Apparently they have multiple locations and obama has been to one of them, however not the at this location..
anyways, i was staying downtown and when i got in the cab the driver told me that this Pamela's was the furthest outside the city, about 4 miles, but i insisted and went anyway.
the restaurant was small, cash only. the food was typical diner breakfast food. i wasn't blown away by anything special. yes their pancakes are crepe style but aside from the small asterisk not much stood out as spectacular. the French toast i ordered was tasty but i had to move the glob of butter they gave me to another plate. the bacon was thin, not thick like i would have suspected for a place that is known for its breakfast food.
i can't say much else that intrigued me.
