Pamela's is certainly a Pittsburgh institution, and for good reason! Of the several locations in the city, the Shadyside spot is my favorite, probably because it was the first Pamela's I ever ate at. I love breakfast food, but I'm never big on breakfast-only places because they tend to be too small and crowded, and hardly worth the wait. But Pamela's food is as close to perfection as you'll ever get, so the long line and cramped space isn't even a factor. Personally, I love their hotcakes, omelets, and hash browns, but everything on the menu is mouth-watering and inexpensive!
