I already feel defensive about my 3 star rating. Obviously, I'm not a native Yinzer. I am a born bruncher though and for me, Pamela's was a good experience and just about that. Perhaps the 45 minute wait on a weekend made my expectations skyrocket. I ordered the Gail's eggs and they came out good. Nice bread, well done scrambled eggs and ok-hash browns. Great coffee! The service is really good for how crowded the place is. The hot cakes are really soft and yummy. You know a place is old school when they are cash only and it takes a 10 minute wait at the cash counter to pay ones check! You have to tick the box if you haven't been here, if nothing else but to experience a traditional local joint.. but now that I have, a couple times.. I could quite easily pass up Pamela's for other brunch options in the strip.
