    Crawfish (1 pound)
    Anika B.

    I was looking for some authentic seafood, most importantly, crawfish! And, this place delivered! The special for the crawfish was great! $5.99 (give or take) I thought was great! When they came out, the size of them were exactly what I was looking for. The only drawback was that they didn't come with anything! No potatoes, no corn, no sausage! So, I ordered a side of potatoes. I got two small potatoes, for $2.99! I was super disappointed with getting two little potatoes for that price. But overall the crawfish were great, so I was satisfied. I also saw that they had ice cream and apple pies, which I had to try! I was a little disappointed to see that they were frozen, and not fresh or homemade but none the less, it tasted alright with the vanilla.

    I wanted a soul food lunch and came here. I was not disappointed. The dining room is spacious so…read moregreat for large groups and work lunches. I got the special of the day which was baked chicken with rice and gravy and two sides. They guy serving was super sweet to explain to me the ordering process and I had a great conversation with the woman in line before me who comes every week for the Wednesday special. For my sides, I chose the greens and mashed potatoes. Even though I got two starches, it was worth it because the mashed potatoes and gravy were worth having as a main dish! I loved the greens, too, especially since they had all the hot sauce and peppers and vinegar choices you could want. The chicken was fork tender and I left nothing on the plate. I love that they provide each guest a little wrapped package of cornbread and iced cake of the day, too. I will definitely be stopping at Pamela's any time I'm in town.

    FOOD: There was very little selection to choose from. Based on our experience, we could tell the…read morefood didn't seem very fresh and may have been sitting out all day. We both felt really heavy afterward, and my mom even felt sick after eating there. It was just basic diner food and a bit overpriced for something you can get almost anywhere else. However, the cake that comes with the cornbread was my favorite part. SERVICE: The service was fine. It had more of a cafeteria-style vibe, so there isn't much to say about it. AMBIANCE: The inside felt very run down. The bar wasn't even finished and didn't look like it was ever used. Overall, it had a very hole-in-the-wall feel.
