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.

The hostess was sweet and even took a group photo, offering the best spots. Our server, Collin, was very attentive. At one point multiple guests in my party had empty glasses and he would see this en route to the table and send someone over before checking on us. The appetizers came out quickly and I suggest you share a salad because it will feed two, if not three. My filet was cooked a little more than I requested but the seasoning overshadowed that fault for me. This place is huge with indoor & outdoor seating. I don't believe there's a dress code because I saw guests wearing t-shirts, flip flops and hat. The price to portion size was spot on and I would definitely recommend trying this place.

I have heard that they are pre-cooking their food now, so that few menu items are freshly cooked which makes me sad. If you don't expect too much, you will enjoy your pre-cooked meal.
