Pamela's P&G Diner

Sitting at the top of our list is Pamela’s P&G Diner… a true Pittsburgh staple! They claim to have served the BEST breakfast in the city since 1980, and we tend to agree (well, that’s longer than I’ve been alive… but definitely ever since I can remember). Their menu is packed full of deliciousness: homemade hash, omelets and of course their famous crepe-style hotcakes. Hit up one of their four locations around town, you’ll be glad you did!
