    You didn’t mention Pipers Pub in the South Side. Only on Sunday’s. The Irish Boxty and Belgin French toast are AMAZING!!!

    Just ate at Pamela’s in The Strip on Saturday, it was the worst breakfast I ever eaten, everything was dripping in grease. Service was awful and the restaurant was empty, we arrived after 2:00 PM. Can’t blame it on a busy time of the day. We have eaten at Pamela’s in the past and my daughter visiting from out of town wanted to go. I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
