Their breakfast is always amazing. Love the Lyonnais potatoes, omelets and crepe hotcakes. And the coffee is really good.

Diner favorites done well. I would return when in the area.
I just got an american breakfast so I can't comment on specialty items. I enjoyed the coffee refills. I sat by the window which is my preference. The seats further inside looked a bit dark/claustrophobic for me but could be a plus for others.

Always a good choice. It's usually busy but they keep the wait time down. The food is good. The service is always very good and fast.

The food was pretty good. We had waffles, pancakes, eggs, and sausage.
Our server wasn't very inviting making interactions awkward.

My family went for lunch on Saturday, the place was absolutely packed! And for good reason, the food was absolutely delicious! And the service we received from our waiter was perfect. Elijah was very attentive and always happy to meet my toddlers many requests 😅 Also would like to add that even though they were super busy, it took them less than 10 minutes to get us seated and the food didn’t take long to come out at all. All the food was hot and fresh, even the strawberries were freshly cut. We will definitely be spending many more breakfast and lunch dates here!

Pretty busy in the early morning. One queue serves for getting a table and pay check. Not efficient for restaurant but not for customer. People new here get confused. Food is bit under expectation. Not that fantastic.

I am usually not the one for breakfast, but I had a really early class and I was extremely hungry, so I decided to come here. of course, this is a famed spot in pittsburgh, but unfortunately, I never got around to trying it. I got the hot cakes which they are known for with some eggs, sausage and bacon. Hot cakes are a baby of crepes and pancakes if I had to describe it. my friend got the chorizo hash with some eggs and toast. Honestly, everything tasted really good. The food itself is quite simple, but it is done well. My eggs were running as I liked them, and the hot cakes were pretty tasty as well. Also, the quantity of food and portion sizes are quite big. We were struggling to finish our meals. The ambience is that of a diner and even on weekdays, if you go during prime breakfast time, expect to have a wait time. If you’re looking for hearty rustic breakfast, I would definitely recommend this place, but don’t expect anything gourmet or very nuanced flavours. The wait staff were attentive to our needs and provided good service.

It was just alright a little tight in there and no where to park outside unless you get lucky otherwise you’re going to be walking around blocks hopefully just one. It is a very busy area stores everywhere and a couple hospitals and schools this is there Oakland location thus the reason parking is so bad in the area

Parking: If there’s anything available very busy area

Some say Pamela’s is overrated, but I absolutely love their Lyonnaise potatoes — they’re always seasoned perfectly. I think everything on the menu is delicious! I usually go for the mushroom omelet, while my fiancé loves the three-cheese omelet. We always share the hotcakes, and sometimes I get the turkey sausage on the side — it’s so tasty with the right seasoning. Everyone should try Pamela’s at least once!
