| - 3.5 stars, really. When we were in college, Pamela's was THE brunch place of choice, and I doubt much has changed if you're a Carnegie Mellon or Pitt student. But now that I've been out in the adult world, I have to admit that Pamela's is more about the nostalgia than the food for me.
To be clear, their crepes, omelettes, and Lyonnaise potatoes are fantastic. Greasy, but delicious. Everything else is fine, but nothing to write home about.
Pamela's is a Pittsburgh tradition, though, and I do think that counts for something. Don't knock it till you try it, and definitely try it once or twice. Be prepared to wait if you're going at a peak time (like brunch on a weekend) but other than that, I would say I've always had good service.
Tip: they do not accept credit cards, so be sure you have cash. Also, parking can be tough, so give yourself time to look around the side streets for a spot.
