The staff here is SUPER SUPER friendly!!! The food is great!! And comes super fast!!! Space is small but worth the wait!!

We have friends who have a family connection with the owners, so breakfast at Pamela’s one morning during our trip to Pittsburgh was in the cards. Come hungry, because the portions are large. The food was very good, the pancakes almost crepe-like and the Lyonnais potatoes something special. Great photos and other vintage artwork on the walls.

We have eaten lunch here several times and the food and service are good. The restaurant is located in the heart of Shadyside. It is not a large place but the staff is very attentive. We enjoyed the food and would return.

The stuffed pancakes are a must have on every visit to Pamela's. This is the best breakfast in Pittsburgh. Period.

Not a problem. Cheerful staff offered to get (13) us a large table with about 5-10 minutes, and they did, and checked with us twice while waiting. Good coffee, attentive servers, great assortment of breakfast treats...everyone was happy. Pancakes, corned beef hash, chorizo, eggs,...all got high marks. A stop we had to make while visiting w local college graduate!, and... More

The pancakes are crepe thin and oh so yummy! Lots of great old shots of Pittsburgh too. We had to wait about ten minutes for a table, but it was well worth it.

Barack and Michelle were so impressed with Pamela's hotcakes that they invited the proprietors of this funky Pittsburgh chain to the White House to cook breakfast. The strawberry hotcakes and the lyonnaise potatoes are the house specialities that you MUST try. Each Pamela's is different. The one in Millvale is particularly amusing. But the hotcakes are always to die for.... More

I love having brunch at Pamela's. Important things: cash only, there's usually a fairly long wait, DELICIOUS. Their stuffed hotcakes are great. I also really enjoy the egg dishes. Their hash-browns are to die for! Expect to leave very full, and very happy.

Excellent crepe/hotcakes and omelet. Atmosphere was fun. Service was very good and quick. Menu was varied.
