text: So many great reviews Friends who live or have lived in Pittsburgh rave about this place It was supposed to be THE PLACE for breakfast and brunch in this city I first visited this place on a short Pgh Apt hunting trip back in April Went in got excited as the place was packed with people It had the classic diner feel It had to be good Sadly it was not Not wanting to give up hope I went back to Pamelas the next day and went with the corned beef hash since many yelpers had mentioned it Again disappointed Having settled in Pgh for a few months now I decided to give Pamelas a third chance recently sigh I do not get how this place has such high yelp ratingsnnFood As mentioned above my first visit I tried the western omelet It was just ok Not well seasoned and the cheese was meh Quantity wise you do get a huge amount of food for what you pay for Second trip was the corned beef hash trip Really do not understand what is so great about this dish My third trip I tried the texmex omelet Again eggs under seasoned and cheese was meh What bothered me the most was the guacamole It is more like avocado paste with mayonnaise consistency Like something you would squeeze out of a toothpaste tube Texture was not appealing The friend who came with me on this third trip ordered the pancakes which he thought were finennAmbiance it is got the classic diner feel with diner friendly waitresseswaiters nnService as mentioned above the classic diner friendly environmentnnOverall opinion I wonder if those who give high ratings to this establishment are the locals of Pgh and collegegrad students on a budget and naturally appreciate the large quantities of food for cheap prices This place is just ok for me I am still searching for my gotobrunch place in Pittsburgh I do recommend trying this place out and making your own judgement especially if you have just moved to the area There is always a wait to get in on weekends so they must be doing something right Place is cash only
