This is my favorite breakfast place PERIOD! I dream of the pancakes . If you are fortunate enough to be in Pittsburgh you must stop here and at least order a short stack .

Dee Evans

The strawberry pancakes are great! Sounds weird when you read that it has sour cream , but give it a chance!

Nicole Lasorda

The absolute best hotcakes ever. Definitely try the chocolate chip banana pancakes . I also got the croissant French toast and that was amazing, too. Like others have said, cash only , so don't forget.

Randy Clevenger

The specialty hotcakes are the way to go here. They are thinner than pancakes . You can even get them rolled like crepes .

Their hotcakes are great. I thought sour cream with blueberries would be weird but I was pleasantly surprised.

Zak Slayback

This is my favorite diner in Pittsburgh. It's cash-only, and has the best corned beef hash I've had. Gets busy on weekends.

Can’t book or call a head of time so get here early to put your name down!

Jeffery Anderson

My absolute favorite place to eat breakfast ! However, get here early because there is always a lie.

Norbert Hu

Regardless if you agree with Obama's policies, you can't disagree with him on Pamela's. Get the combo and reminisce about your student days.

Amol K

Can easily duck here for a late breakfast/early lunch if you study/work at Pitt. Not that long a wait during the week.

Salim C

Croissant French toast and tuna melt on pita are my favs so far

#Topanga

It was good. I like the food and the atmosphere is nice.

Luke Kingma

The chorizo sausage may be the best on earth. And I'd know - I live on it.

Arjun Mishra

Not as classy as the Squirrel Hill one and not as sacred as the Strip location, but I won't deny it's goodness. Early bird specials before 11 AM on weekdays.

Sally Crane

The best breakfast in pittsburgh! no exceptions.

Brian Diamond

Awesome breakfasts

Liz D

The hotcakes are fantastic, but the specialty ones are too rich for my tastes.

Mikahla Vicino

Come for the trivia cards. Passes the time til your crepes arrive

Allison Asbury

Hotcakes ! Lyonaisse potatoes ! Breakfast heaven!

Brian Root

Wonderful breakfast at a reasonable price.

Kevin Burg

It's ok to order lunch food here. I won't judge you. The fries are mostly fried fry crust if you're into that.

Jonathan L.

Nothing here is noteworthy. Especially their turkey with gravy sandwich . Nor their pancakes or French toast .

Best place in the Burgh for breakfast ! Even President Obama comes here on his visits :0)

The people that work here really care.I had 4 bucks on me plus my debit card . Figured I could go to Pamela's. Turns out Pamela's doesn't take debit card so I only ordered a bagel with cream cheese , w

Timothy Sell

Love the chorizo

Greasy diner food .

Rishi Patel

They don't take debit cards so make sure you have cash.

Tricia's Sister

Don't mention that you didn't like your meal cause they don't care. The hostess told us to go to Ritter's.
