text: Although we had recommendations from a friend to go to another place for brunch we decided to try Pamelas when we saw that they had four stars on Yelp and there was a HUGE line on the street waiting to get in nnFirst things first if you are thinking about going here They are cash only There is a PNC bank with an ATM machine right around the corner on Penn Ave if you like us do not normally carry cash Then even if there is a huge line go inside right away and put your name in the waiting list We waited a good ten minutes in line before realizing that the line was meaningless you really need to have your name in the list and then go outside and wait The line goes pretty fast though so do not get intimidated by the size of itnnOur son had a feta and spinach omelet and loved it another AWESOME I had a veggie and feta omelet and my husband the ham and cheese Our omelets were OK nothing to rave about it like our son was doing about his spinach and feta And the omelets were kind of tiny especially when compared with the amount of potatoes that are served in the plate I did wish the omelet was the star and kind of the plate not the potatoes and toast Looks like their strength is in the carb world after all My son and I also tried the hotcakes my first time having it and they were worth every single second of stomach pain the gluten gave me after eating a few bites The outskirts of the cakes were really crunchy like a waffle cone and the inside is a thin light pancake Really good I just could not eat a lot not only because of the gluten but also because of the guilt they are NOT a diet food VERY buttery but what else would you expect of them right As I told my husband they taste like the ultimate winter breakfast comfort food I can only imagine a really cold morning freshly brewed coffee and hotcakes Yum nnAnd talking about coffee theirs was really good Not too strong and not bitter at all just the way I like it The waitress eventually left a carafe of decaf for me at the table which I really appreciated because their mugs are kind of tiny nnFinal thing to be aware When we were done eating we waited forever for the check to come our waitress could have been a bit less absent When we finally asked the waitress for the check she told us with a this is the most natural thing in the world face that the check had been delivered with our food a long time ago How come we did not think of that right We really did not see the check among the other things in the table So if you are not from the area and do not know how things work over there bring cash put your name in the list and keep an eye out for the check which comes WITH your foodnnThree stars because I did not think that the breakfast was that awesome Probably would think otherwise if I knew their system ate gluten and was not aware of carbs
