Pete's Cafe

When we lived nearby, this was our favorite breakfast spot. We got to return today and it hasn’t changed. Still great. Love their homemade hot sauce. But everything we get has been good

I’m typically the kind of diner who side-eyes any place with carpeted floors and a scent that speaks of decades past, I’ll admit it. I’m as bourgeois as they come when it comes to ambiance. So when I got driven to Pete’s Café, I walked in side-eyed, prepared to mentally check out. But that first bite? It checked me instead. Hard. The Migas with bacon were OUTSTANDING. Perfectly scrambled eggs tossed with crunchy tortilla strips, tomatoes, and onions, all elevated by that bold bacon flavor, it was like breakfast had its own mariachi band playing in my mouth. Every bite was warm, comforting, and just the right level of indulgent without being greasy. Then came Pete’s Special two eggs your way (I went scrambled), with hash browns, bacon, and the fluffiest pancakes I didn’t know I needed. The pancakes had that homemade, butter-infused soul food energy, no need for extra syrup or apology. The service was warm, no frills, just folks who know what they're doing and let the food speak for itself. Betsie, was the Bestie... I walked in skeptical and walked out converted. Pete’s Café doesn’t just serve breakfast, it serves up a reminder that sometimes the best things are found off the beaten path, beyond the bougie filters.

Always a delightful experience. The staff here actually care for the customers. If other cafes could be bothered to attend to details as well as these professionals, I'd be more inclined to patronize them. Very clean. We were suitably impressed. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We'll definitely return. You should GO HERE. You'll need to be disappointed.

A friend recommended this spot- and wow!! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was the best, and the service was perfect. Definitely have to come back- but make sure to get there early, they get BUSY! Well deserved

I was in town from out of state to visit my dad I'm the hospital. I stopped in to grab breakfast after I checked out of my hotel, and I thought "wow, it's gonna be a minute with how busy it is". O was pleased to be proven wrong. I was greeted by the cheerful staff and seated immediately. My order was taken in a timely manner, and my food was served very quickly-exactly how I ordered. The quality was fantastic and the price was decent. I had a very pleasant experience and will recommend it to friends and family if they happen to be in the area. I'm definitely stopping in a gain the next time I'm in the area!

Pete's Cafe is a wonderful establishment. It's family owned and run and you can tell. Everyone there seems to enjoy what they do and care about their guests. Upon arriving, the parking lot was full and I thought sure I would never find a spot, but after driving around the building a few times, I was able to park right out front. With the parking lot that full I thought sure the wait for a table would be crazy. Boy was I wrong. There was only one party in front of me and I was seated at a booth in around 5 minutes. I had the western omelet with hash browns an English muffin and a side of grits. The omelette was chock full of fresh ingredients. The hash browns were like a hybrid of home fries and hash browns which was a huge plus in my book. They came mixed with onions and were quite tasty. Their coffee was hot and fresh and they were super quick with the refills. Overall it was a great experience and I will be adding Pete's to my weekend breakfast rotation. I highly recommend this family owned hole-in-the-wall for great food and service.

Great ole Diner, busy place even at 11:00 am on Sunday. Wait was super easy, love how they have it set up to get people in their seat. Food was great, scrambled with French Toast. I was too late for the Cinnamon Roll, they were out. I’ll be back, must be a good one if they sold out. Great diner mug with not stop coffee service. Bought a mug (white one) for my house to add to the collection. Keep up the good work, great place!

We love coming to breakfast at Pete’s Café. It’s the best breakfast place around. Gives you old country home vibes. The food is delicious. Beatrice was our waitress, she was so lovely and accommodating. We had the veggie omelette and grits and over medium eggs with hash, brown and bacon. They bring you gigantic ice waters when you get here. They are known for their Pete’s hot sauce, it is delicious on the eggs!. They actually sell bottles of the Pete’s hot sauce. Overall, this is a wonderful place for breakfast. They also allow service animals. This place is always packed when we come.

Best breakfast I've had in awhile. Got corned beef hash. Corned beef hash is always a nostalgic meal for me. Grandpa always cooked it, eggs, and grits and would put it in a cup before "breakfast in a cup" was a thing. The cinnamon roll was good and fresh. The waffles were big! Homey style diner. Very busy. Would be back.

I stumbled upon Pete's Cafe while searching for the best hash browns, and I have to say, they did not disappoint! Most places tend to serve diced potatoes with onions for hash browns, but not here. Pete's serves up perfectly cooked and seasoned hash browns that hit the spot. I also tried the French toast, and it was a pleasant surprise. Instead of the overhyped brioche you find everywhere, Pete's sticks to the classic Texas toast, cooked just right. No dryness or overly thick slices, just traditional French toast done perfectly. This place gives off a cozy small-diner vibe, which I absolutely loved. They only serve breakfast and lunch (7am-2pm), but I've heard their cinnamon rolls on weekends are a must-try! I'll definitely be back to check those out. If you're looking for great comfort food, with fast & friendly service....Pete's Cafe is a gem! (Hope this review finally gets me to Elite Status. Seems like it's harder to get that than winning the lottery)

Everything went great! The waitress was very helpful, I was there about 9:30 am and wanted to order the open faced hot turkey sandwich. She asked the kitchen and they accommodated my request. The food was hot and delicious.

Good breakfast. Everyone was happy with all our food. The service is good and quick. Come early because it gets busy but it is worth it. One of the best breakfast places I've been in a while. Good value for your money but they don't skip on quality

Delicious! I always love a hole in the wall and Pete's fits the bill! Ginormous cups of soda, hot coffee and generous portions! The chicken and waffles with bacon.....never had any better.

Great comfort food, very fresh and clearly made in house. Servers are very fun and attentive! The coconut cream pie is worth every calorie ;)

Came here for breakfast this morning and everything was fantastic! Our server was so sweet, the coffee was delicious, and our food was different than other breakfast places. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelet with hashbrowns and toast. The hashbrowns were so flavorful! They also had a hot sauce on the table that was unique to the restaurant and it was very good. If this was closer to me, I'd be back for sure!!

This place is my kinda old school breakfast vibe!! Tucked away in an industrial park, it was packed but running smoothly on a Sunday around 11am. The line was ling, but we scored a window booth after only about 10 mins of waiting. We were here for the chicken fried steak which had been on some list for one of the best win Dallas. We chose to split the breakfast version with eggs, toast and hash browns. (There is also a lunch version that comes with more lunch sides like veggies). We chose raisin toast, over easy eggs and hash browns (crispy) - also a side of bacon for good measure. ALSO important to get your chicken fried steak gravy ON THE SIDE (so as not to mess with the "crispy"). The steak was good, the coating was exactly what I like, all scraggly and crispy, I would have liked a thicker portion of steak though. The food came out after a bit - everything was exactly as ordered. We were checked on to make sure we had coffee and water etc. Our waitress Meghan was very sweet and efficient, and we thought she did an excellent job. (The kid who helped to manage the line and seat people was also great with a happy helpful attitude.) You do get a bit of a break on the bill if you pay with Ca$h - so I would do that!

Peres has always been my go to! Been coming here for over 10 years. The establishment isn't huge inside, but they move so fast. Everyone is nice and welcoming. There isn't anything I ordered that was not fresh(hot) and tasteful. Eve try their lunch! You won't be disappointed!

Got there Sunday morning at 11:30. Packed! We only had 4 people so it was a 10 minute wait. If you had 5 or more 30+. Only 3 tables that seat 5-6 so keep that in mind. Great old school diner/breakfast setting. Omelets, waffles, biscuits and gravy and along with the best hash browns I've had in a while. I got 2 eggs cooked perfectly over medium and we also had a perfect poached egg. It's hard to find a restaurant that can still do that. 15 minutes food ordered to the table! Oh by the way, my coffee cup never got empty.

What can I say about this place except for wow! The service is really good, and the table turnover was amazingly quick. The prices will keep us coming back every time.

The food here is very good and filling. I really enjoyed the casual ambiance of a local breakfast restaurant. Everything was really clean and well put together. The staff was fantastic and I never had an empty cup of coffee.

My favorite spot for breakfast when I'm in Dallas! The Early Bird Special is insanely good and priced!

Pete's is my new go-to breakfast spot. The food is very consistently good and the price is excellent (they even offer a small discount if you pay in cash)! The service is usually very good, but I have had two occasions where it was pretty slow because of intra-staff conversation. I would describe the decor as "typical 1990's cafe" - very clean and adequate, but not a place people would choose for its ambiance; however, not remodeling enables them to keep prices low. They have a dedicated private parking lot that only gets full at very peak times. Highly recommended!

Had breakfast at Pete's during a visit with the boy and his family it's not far from where they live. We got there early enough that seating wasn't an issue and handed menus and drink orders quickly. We asked to substitute fruit in place of hashbrowns for granddaughter and was brought out a good sized bowl of fresh fruit. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and visiting from NY has to have my Migas and enjoyed them greatly. Staff/service was great and refills on coffee were quick and plentiful, highly recommend a visit to Pete's for breakfast...

Ya can't beat Pete's for good food and service. I love the huevos rancheros! Always the right choice for breakfast or lunch.

Very good food and very good prices. I was amazed by the portion sizes and how inexpensive everything was. The servers were really great, friendly and informative. The only aspect of the place that is a drawback is that it is really dated. A great breakfast place doesn't need to look like it was remodeled by Chip and Joanna but it shouldn't like a place where the Pulp Fiction guys will walk in after "cleaning the car". Still a solid breakfast joint worth visiting!

Today I wanted to do a solo breakfast and I want to trust. My other yelp review wears and therefore I went to Pete's Café. This was a great experience. Marvelous customer service marvelous time wait on the food food was fresh it was tasty. The coffee was amazing. It was a good price point and it was a family environment. This is one of those places you you go to when you just won a good down-home me meal for a good price. None of the extras. None of the fluff just good food good service good price family environment. I will definitely be back because I enjoyed my time. I enjoyed the service! My server was Jose and I loved him. He did a great job. He checked up on me, made sure that I always had coffee and it was hot. Amazing.

Pete's Cafe is great! The breakfast restaurant is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. The breakfast food is delicious and there is a nice variety of food. The restaurant has been at this location for many years!

7-2023 Food is very good and served fast, eggs were cooked perfectly to order crispy bacon and fluffy pancakes. There is always a line/wait to get a table. Very small place, loud but you can still have a conversation. The server was friendly, attentive and in hustle mode with so many tables. They turn the tables quickly but didn't feel rushed. The waiting area is a line up the middle of the restaurant. The parking lot is small and cramped so plan accordingly.

Every time we visit Dallas, we love trying new places, and this restaurant has earned a permanent spot on our list. The service here is outstanding - the staff really knows how to make customers feel special. We couldn't resist buying a bottle of their amazing homemade hot sauce! The food was great, and the prices were just right, making it an excellent value. The coffee was alright, not the best I've had, but everything else was top-notch. Can't wait for our next visit!

Pete's Café is my go to place for home-cooked style breakfast , consistently good with amazing service. Whether I go by myself or with others, I am never disappointed in the quality or the amount of food. Staff is always smiling and helping each other out to make sure the diners experience is the best. Ambience is cozy and a perfect diner setting.

Delicious - reasonable and great coffee. There usually is a wait but very worthwhile. Hasbrowns are well seasoned. Everything was delicious - love the 80s rock music!

I've been in Dallas for a long time, and I can remember Pete's cafe for as long as I can go back, but I've been there only twice. Both times I had a great experience, with the food, as well as the staff(Abby), Over all. I enjoyed myself& if you are in to breakfast and lunch. I recommend you give Pete's a try

Petes cafe had good reviews so we decided to give it a shot. It's close to our meeting site. Petes didn't disappoint us. Just a great little diner. Open 6-2. We were there for breakfast. No frills just great service good food and quick in out. Just what we were looking for. No line/wait for us. We got there at 9:30 am and out by 10. It will be our place to go from now on.

Say it with me....home cooking. When the free breakfast at the hotel is the biggest joke you've heard in a year, it's time to drive! Punch "breakfast " into Yelp, and start looking for mom & pop! Pete's Cafe probably opened in the 1960's, cause that's when the furniture was made. Pete's is exactly what Mike and I look for when it's breakfast time. I got my usual, eggs, sausage, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy. The breakfast of champions! Mike got the same except he's a bacon head. it was delicious to the last bite. Even the coffee tasted better than usual. A solid 4/5. The staff was great, and the price was right. We will be back!

All I can say is if you haven't had Pete's then you haven't had good breakfast! Pete's is always packed! Somehow I've never had to wait for a table but it's a steady flow of patrons all the time. I'm a waffle girl but the pancakes here changed me. They are SOOOO good. The perfect pancake. The eggs are always done perfect. Next under or overcooked. The bacon is good & cooked perfectly! The potatoes... oh the potatoes are so good! Seriously! Get them with onion. You won't regret it. If your not looking for something sweet like a pancake then make sure you get the biscuit. My goodness those are the best biscuits in the US. We always order two each because you can't stop eating them. I could go on & on about Pete's. I've never had a bad experience. The foods amazing & the service is great. Family owned & operated. We go here all the time!!

Know your order before walking in and follow the etiquette....you follow the line when you enter and place order, pay AND THEN claim a seat ( if available ). Food is amAHzing! I crave the Greek omelette with home fries weekly! Solid cup of coffee too!

Food is good, prices are decent and the service was outstanding! Definitely recomendable.

Order: Chicken Fried Steak; eggs over medium; biscuit w/gravy; hash browns Chicken fried steak: hard to chew, but good taste 6/10 Eggs over medium: whites were still runny, and had crispy edges (might need to lower the heat) 6/10 Biscuit w/gravy: crispy bottom, pillowy top, VERY GOOD 9/10 (no sausage in gravy) Hash browns: so good! 9/10 Service was good, so was the ambiance. Will return, but will get a different meal.

This place is greatness! Great food!! Comfort wonderful Check out video on Tik Tok @driveandeat

I've been going to Pete's Cafe for almost 40 years. I raised thee sons, and all wanted something different for breakfast. Pete's was the perfect answer and a way to get them to go to school. LOL When my sons come from California to visit, our first stop is Pete's. In July, my grandson came to visit, and I took him there to eat. He wanted to taste everything on the menu. Jose now owns Pete's, and he is great! I have known him since he first started working there busing tables. I am so proud he now owns Pete's and has kept the integrity of the restaurant.

First time and it was amazing. Love the diner vibe. I had the fried pork chops (OMG) came with 2, mashed potatoes, salad and beets. So good can't wait to go back. Sorry no pics I was in shock with the great food.

This is the definition of home cooked comfort food. We ate here 30 years ago and then moved from Dallas. We are moving back and made this a priority stop. In fact, we drove 18 miles to eat here with a ton of closer restaurants to choose from. Our waitress has worked at Pete's for 33 years and still serving well. Now that we are back I see regular visits in our future.

This place is amazing. Great food, wonderful, courteous service by friendly staff. There are many breakfast restaurants offering all sorts of new age menus, but this place knows how to take things back to the basics offering great food without all the frills and tasteless dishes of the newbies out there. Definitely a place to return to over and over

The best diner in town. They have been around for a very long time. This is our go to diner in Addison/Carrollton area. The food is always prepared fresh. My husband and I usually get the French toast Pete's special and it's plenty of food for two people usually. The service staff are all pretty attentive. Great place to stop by and take your family for breakfast!

Having lunch here now. It's a busy place. They close at 2 pm, daily. Servers are courteous and attentive. We ordered their catfish plate, pancakes and veggie omelette. Biscuits on the side, too. All the food we ordered we're freshly cooked from scratch. It's delicious! Serving portions are average at $ Yelp price code.

Packed with flavor! . So it's the weekend and I like to go out for breakfast or dinner. We randomly picked this place to give it a try. It's looks small from the outside and it gets ja.med packed quickly and for good reason. I've heard and read that people complain about the wait time, but luckily for us we got in at a good time as we sat down quickly. By the time we sat down, the line was already forming, that's how popular this place is. My wife had the 2 egg breakfast and I had Pete's Special which gives a choice of pancakes or french toast, bacon, sausage or ham and eggs plus hash browns or grits. The food came quick and made exactly as ordered. The hash browns are country potatoes with onion bits cooked together with a very nice seasoning. The French toast was soft and delicious as well as our coffee. They came around every so often asking to fill out cups so they are constantly on top servicing you. Our server, Beatrice was marvelous and fast and didn't miss a beat along with the other staff. If you are in this area, this place is worth the wait for breakfast, and they also serve lunch too! Hope you enjoy!!

pete's is genuinely the best local spot you can find. the interior is cozy and homey, the staff is incredible friendly, and the food is outstanding! pete's hashbrowns are THE best and make sure you get a cinnamon roll if you're there in the weekend

I haven't been in awhile. But, they really need up dating and replacing worn down everything. I found another cafe with excellent service and food, and very clean throughout.

Outstanding food and service. Pleasant atmosphere. Everything was good - food, staff & seating. Definitely a restaurant to frequent. First time there I ordered French toast and corned beef hash. The French toast was fluffy and yummy. Hash had good flavor, not a salt bomb, and nicely cooked. Server was super attentive and all the staff were very friendly.

We stopped here for breakfast and we were glad we did! Server was awesome and I loved the perfectly toasted toast and I was given multiple choices for butter for it! And i asked for "easy on the sausage " for my omelet and it was perfect! My husband loved the hash browns! If we lived closer we would definitely be back!

Disappointing. Nothing special at all. It's always so busy we figured it must be a gem. We were fooled!! I had the French toast which were flavorless! They were nice & think but had absolutely no flavor. The hash browns were super greasy but had nice flavor. Definitely wouldn't return and wouldn't recommend. Server was nice and price was reasonable so I give 2 stars.

Super service. Great portions. Chicken Fried Steak Grilled ham and cheese. Diner specials.

This is the kind of place that Yelp was made for. I love places like this, little hole in the walls but customer service is great, food is great, and people know each other. The waiter was very friendly and helpful, it was packed but we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The coffee was good and everything we done well. It is a simple menu, nothing freaky on the menu, but what they do.... they do well. It is fairly priced and I will definitely be going back. I'm dreaming about the french toast already!

My partner and I visited at 6am on a Sunday morning. We ordered pancakes, biscuits, bacon, eggs, grits, and hash browns. Our waiter was super attentive and had our order out very quickly. Everything tasted 100% homemade! The portion sizes were great and the quality of food was superb. Just an fyi, some of the employees didn't have on masks but they still have the plexiglass up dividing booths. I can' wait to come back and try their lunch menu! Definitely recommend!

Great food, great service. Better than IHOP and Waffle House. Great quesadilla and the Pete's special was great. Everything priced right. Park at the church if no parking

I came for breakfast and I'm surprised that I've never heard of migas before. It's not bad, pretty solid. I'd try other stuff off the menu next time though. They make their own hot sauce which is really, quite good. Good enough that I bought a bottle before leaving. And the service we got was really, really stellar.
