Ol' South Pancake House

Best Classic Restaurants in Fort Worth | Eater Dallas

"Ol’ South Pancake House has been serving up hearty, homestyle breakfast favorites since 1962. As the name suggests, the pancakes are the star of the show: Fluffy, golden, and stacked high. However, don’t skip over the lunch and dinner menus, which feature classic diner and comfort food dishes like chicken and waffles, chicken-fried steak with cream gravy, and fried catfish battered in cornmeal. The down-to-earth charm of Ol’ South makes it an ideal spot for a relaxed meal with family or friends at any time of day or night, as it remains open 24 hours a day. Must-try dish: The world-famous German pancake, a massively oversized take on the Dutch baby, is a crowd favorite that draws attention with every order. There is also a mini-version if you’re not prepared to take down the big one." - Michael Ellington
