Ah, Pamela's. A true Pittsburgh favorite and must-go place when out-of-town friends are visiting. The food (best known for the famous hotcakes) is delicious and I always get the banana and chocolate hotcakes. It is truly a testament to the Pamela's deliciousness that when Michelle Obama visited Pittsburgh and ate at Pamela's, she asked the White House chef to get the hotcakes recipe to make for her at home. The hotcakes are truly decadent and probably have more butter and saturated fat than everything you've eaten today combined. But it's a wonderful calorie splurge every once in a while! Know that the wait is typically long (especially for Saturday and Sunday mornings) and it is cash-only, if memory serves.
