My husband and I have grown fond of this place for breakfast. Always hot & nice service. Today, was not a good experience & will prevent use from returning. Our server had a scowl on her face from the moment she came to the table. (Long dark ponytail) It was 12:30pm & it was not busy (breakfast rush was over.) We had to get up three times to ask for things, our toast & pancakes, napkins, coffee. The three servers working were standing at the front counter talking away with each other our server, at one point, was talking on her cell phone. The food quality has gone down in recent months. Eggs were nice & hot, hash browns were cold, bacon had been good in the past, but our past two visits the bacon has tasted burnt & it has an odd flavor. Toast was over cooked, not buttered, it was not edible. The last time our coffee was refilled was by a man that looked like he had just come out of the kitchen. He was very nice & we were grateful that our coffee was being refilled without having to get up and ask for it. The servers were still lolly gagging behind the counter while the gentleman was refilling our coffee. I have worked in the restaurant business from being a server & also in management. I am very understanding of all angles of what is going on in a restaurant setting. The service on Saturday was the worst service I have ever experienced. Rude & unapologetic, it was as if we were inconveniencing her. We will not be returning. read more

Great local breakfast & lunch spot. Fresh cooked to order nothing pre made or frozen. Love the pancakes so sweet and fluffy I only put butter on them. Staff are busy and efficient with a friendly smile. Good table service and the price is good you can still get your choice of items under $10.00. read more

Neat little space in a strip mall. A bit of confusion about seating and payment. Assume that the locals just "know" that you can seat yourself and pay at the register without a ticket. Ordered eggs, bacon (really nice and crispy!), and pancakes with M-n-Ms. The pancakes were good....but the candy coating was odd. The blueberry, chocolate chip, and strawberry options looked very good. Really reasonable prices. I'll be back when I return to the area. read more

Incredible prices, great food. Walked out of honey berry around the corner because the prices were outrageous and ended up with a better meal and 1/3 of the price. Great service and friendly people. Couldn't recommend more read more

Great food, great service, and even great prices!! We got the HOT PANCAKES PLATTER (HPP) WITH 2 PANCAKES $10.95 and the CHILI & CHEESE Omelet for $10.95. Everything was so good but especially the omelet!! The waitress was super nice and great at her job. There was a designated coffee guy who kept coming around and topping our coffee off and it was great. They even had sugar free syrup. Oh and did I mention the food came out blazing fast and piping hot??? I literally wanted to go back the very next day!! Plenty of parking and located right next to a gas station if you wanna fill up on some gas. read more

I usually love going here. However, today really got under my skin. I went for breakfast and got a Country Scramble, oatmeal, 2 pancakes and coffee. Anybody wanna take a guess on which food item they never did bring to my table? How on God's green earth do you forget to serve pancakes at a place called HOT PANCAKES? That was reflected in the tip and this rating. Not good!! read more

Good value. Tasty food. Friendly service. Looking forward to trying their extended hours.

Quiet Sunday morning breakfast with plain pancakes and sausage patties. They really can make good pancakes- hot and buttery. A favorite place to chill for an inexpensive breakfast read more

I order scrambled eggs but I think they can with a side of shells because more than one bite was crunchy, the grits had too much water in them they jus look yellow due to the butter bec these tasted like absolute nothing jus what it is a bowl of grits no flavor and one slice of bread for $3.00 is wild and that was given with powdered sugar and syrup I basically paid $3.00 for a small cup of syrup and a slice of egg bread BUT for $8.00 I get 2 slices of bread and no powdered sugar . They gave 2 options gor what so each slice is $4 that's ridiculous honestly anything for a dollar I guess. My third and last time ordering my other two others were full of pork I basically gave away my shrimp n grits because it has pig on it then I asked for a meat substitutes and they still gave me pork sausage in my last order 3 strikes you're out. read more

You have got to be kidding me! The breakfast specials are ridiculous in a great way! First off, I drove past it as I thought is was an entrance for the gas station that is just outside. The Choose 3 plus coffee for $6.95? I'm in. I ordered 2 eggs OE, hash browns, and 2 pancakes. Will definitely be in the breakfast rotation going forward. Service was great and the food was great! read more

Wow, we had an amazing time at hot pancakes. My wife and I ordered the chili omelette and a breakfast sampler. Their chili omelette is absolutely amazing. I want to go back and get it again and the rest of the food was good too. Service was attentive and the food came out lightning fast. I seriously cannot wait to go back to hot pancakes. read more

I've been here before but it has been a minute so when an associate and I decided to do a low-key brunch I picked this place in Richardson. Typical diner ambiance with lots of seating. Wait-staff was very accommodating and kind. I ordered a veggie omelette and a side of pancakes. Both were hot and tasted fresh. I don't come to Richardson often but when I do and I want a diner experience I will definitely come back! read more

Ordered the Oreo pancakes through Door Dash, so I can't speak to the ambiance of the restaurant, but I give this place five gold stars for delicious food and good service! The pancakes were fluffy, the Oreo topping and filling were so yummy, and the portions were great value for cost of the meal (3 sizable pancakes for around $10). Sometimes you take notice of how much someone cares in the little things, like how your food gets served. My food came packaged neatly in a paper bag with my name written on it, containing my food, some whipped butter, and utensils. I would highly recommend! read more

The Veggie omelette was delicious! I love that they put everything in the middle instead of mixed into the eggs like some other places. Server was friendly and when I asked for a side of bacon, she let me know how much it would cost. I will return! read more

Super small inside but we called ahead and they told us if there was an open table for our sized party. Menu had tons of options and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. Breakfast tacos, kids bear pancake, Reese's pancakes, BLT, avocado eggs Benedict, all super tasty. The kids loved it and prices were good. Great find, just get there early before it gets busy!! read more

Great value, hearty breakfast, fast and friendly service! We both got the Pick 3 breakfast plate for $6.50 + coffee for $1.50 = $8 total per person, what a steal! The eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns were good. The waffle was soggy and was the only thing I wouldn't order again. The server was friendly and the food came out quick. The coffee refill person came over multiple times to keep our coffees topped off. Great local spot for a quick breakfast at a great price! read more

Hot Pancakes is a regular breakfast stop for a growing number of patrons. The usual offerings are quickly served by experienced staff. The food quality is very good and the menu features a 'build your own' list of selections. Prices are VERY moderate. Only negative is a challenging parking situation since it is located next to a gas and convenience store combo. But Worth the Effort. read more

Love this place for breakfast and lunch! The service is wonderful and the setting is always easy to navigate.

Was extremely excited to try this place! Ordered and once the food came out I found they don't have Tobasco! Texas breakfast with no tobasco...I'm mind blown! The toast came out cold and unbuttered. The sunny side up eggs were overcooked (solid yolks). I wolfed it down anyway because I'm incapable of going "Karen" but definitely won't be coming back. read more

I'm going to start off by saying why it gets 1 star. Cockroach in the food. However there is some good stuff... Price of their food. Good prices. Only $3 for their kids pancake. I hate going to breakfast places and looking at the kids menu and seeing the kids menu being like $3 or $4 less than the adult menu but having wayyyy less food. By that point I'd rather just share. I see a lot of people saying this is the best pancakes or best chicken fried steak. Now hold up. Either these people ate shitty pancakes all of their life and ass chicken fried steak, or they have a mob boss with a bat behind them when they were writing that review. The pancakes and chicken fried steak weren't bad by any means. But to say they were the best is a hugeeeeeee yoga stretch. Starwood cafe has better chicken fried steak and their chicken fried steak isn't that much better. Benedict in Addison has better pancakes (although the prices of their food are atrocious). I even think ihop has better pancakes but that's debatable. These pancakes were chewy which is decent but if you like fluffy in anyway, this is not the place! read more

Hot Pancakes - a mixture of vegetables and meat - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Hot Pancakes is a small American style restaurant in Richardson Texas. The restaurant is located in a strip mall next to a 7-Eleven gas station on the service road of President Gorge Bush tollway. The wife and I visited Hot Pancakes for brunch on Saturday around 11:00 AM. I had chicken fried steak and eggs (which came with pancakes) and the wife had an omelette and toast. The portion sizes were good and the price wasn't bad ($32). Parking: 1 / 5 - Parking for Hot Pancakes is not good. The restaurant is located next to a 7-Eleven which means parking is limited to what is in front of the building and that's it. The rest of the parking lot is gas pumps. Unfortunately, not only is parking limited, but you'll also be in competition with folks stoping at the 7-Eleven. Due to the limited parking, you'll also find people double parked while they wait for someone to run into the convenance store, or while they wait for a gas pump to become available. It makes the parking cramped and competitive. Food: 2.5 / 5 - The food was good but not great. I had the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. My meal included pancakes and hash browns. The wife had an omelet and toast. The eggs were sunny-side-up, but the edges were a little crispy which suggest they were a little over done. The chicken fried steak was good but the gravy had a kind of grocery story flavor to it. Overall it wasn't bad, but it wasn't exceptional either. I would say, slightly above average. Service: 2 / 5 - The service wasn't bad, but didn't really stand out. When we walked in, it didn't take long for us to get directed to a table and have menus in hand. It did take a little too long to have our order taken. Just long enough where you start wonder if you've been forgotten, but not long enough where you get up to go find someone. It was 11:00 AM and you could tell the lunch rush was starting to trickle in, so this probably had something to do with it. I had my back to the kitchen / register, but the wife told me that on several occasions the wait staff were standing around on their cell phones, so not really a good look for the restaurant. When we finished our meal, we didn't get a check so we eventually got up and walked to the register to ask for it. Atmosphere 1 / 5 - Unfortunately, Hot Pancakes falls short on atmosphere. It has a very fast food style vibe. The tables are very close together and the dining room is very small. This causes lots of congestion and noise when you're moving in and out (lines and crowds). It also puts you close enough to the people around you that you can practically be part of their conversations. Summary: 1.3 / 5 - Hot Pancakes is a small restaurant located in a strip mall. If you're looking for an American style meal and you're not really concerned with atmosphere this could be a quick place to stop, gas up at the 7-Eleven and have lunch. The food was average and the service was acceptable. The atmosphere is fine for a quick gas and lunch, but if you're looking for something more, you probably won't be happy with Hot Pancakes. Parking can be tough depending on what time you visit so expect to jockey for a parking spot. read more

Located in a gas station complex with minimal seating, an old school register and recipes older than some of these FortNite kiddos, this is definitely one of those local institutions that's here to stay so long as the community keeps showing up at the door. I've never had the same waitress every time I've come here which is, unique, however what I have received was clear service both in terms of hospitality and professionalism. This is a place that'll bend their own rules for a new "friend" and treat you like family after your first visit. Just gotta be nice. Their selection is a wide array of slightly altered breakfast affairs (i.e. Pancakes, Waffles, Omelettes) with some Texas classics thrown in for good measure. While they're decidedly not a 'halal' restaurant like my usual focus, they're very accommodating and what they bring out is readily tailored so you never feel like you're missing out or not getting your money's worth. It's simple, straightforward and delicious. Pull yourself out of bed and drag yourself into this place for what's sure to be an enjoyable breakfast or sweet Brunch. After being recommended this place by a local upon moving to Texas all those years ago, I've been back many a time since. If you're a group of 4 or less I'd definitely recommend. read more

It was amazing. Service was great small local good time to spend with family and friends. Food came out pretty quick and delicious.

On this beautiful Saturday during a pandemic, I didn't feel like cooking. I decided I should visit Hot Pancakes since I the reviews were good. Well, I was disappointed with my meal. I called in an order of Country Fried Steak and Eggs. It included hash browns and 2 pancakes. My order was ready within 15 minutes. When I got home and opened the containers, I was excited. I just wanted some good food. Well, I cut into the steak, only to discover that the breading was separating from the steak. Smh. It was so separated that I was able to just pull the meat from inside of the breading. Even the flavor of the steak wasn't nothing to brag about. Moving on to the eggs - very basic with no seasoning. Same with the hash browns. I added the ketchup they provided to he has browns and ate some of them. The pancakes were just okay too. Truthfully, I've had better from Whataburger. Seriously! If you haven't had Whataburger's pancakes, give them a try. *sigh* I'm not sure what other people have ordered to give great reviews but my meal was not worthy of 3 stars. If (a very strong IF) I decide to give them another try, I'll get something more popular on the menu read more

Things have changed! The service was great! The food was terrible! Bacon looked like it was burnt and bitter. Home Fry's tasted like old grease at 11:00 am. Coffee nor Tea has a taste.

The truth of it is we come here often because of the wait staff but today we got there at 2:15 knowing they close at 3:00 pm because we were going to get their burger special. But! When we walked in we were greeted by a snobby waitress that advised us they close in 45 minutes exactly and that we need to eat fast. It was a shocker! So we left. Customer service is lost on this new generation. read more

Let's get to the point - this place isn't some fancy, it's located next to the gas station, but if you want affordable food that taste good, then this is your place. I met some friends who were visiting from out of town and we try to make a habit to visit places that are "chain restaurants" that we could go to on any given day. When we arrived the first thing we noticed is it's a small spot with less than 20 tables, no hostess stand and you find a clean spot (or one that needs to be cleaned) and you seat yourself. Our waitress was a little sassy, however I will say that we won her over, and she made sure that our drinks were full (even sending us out the door with to go cups) and that we were satisfied with our food. My meal was delicious! My friend ordered the chicken fried chicken and he stated it was a little to spicy. His wife got the chicken fried steak and said it was good. Personally, I'm coming back . . . And don't be surprised to see me pull up a chair if you sit at a table that sits 6 and there's only 2 of y'all at the table!!! read more

Really fast breakfast. I think we ordered and received our food in 5 minutes. If you're looking for something fast and good, this is it. The wait staff is also very friendly. You can order one of their breakfast combos or build your own. Either way, it's very cheap. For four of us to eat and have coffee, orange juice, it came out to about $40 total. Very cheap. I'd stay away from the ham, it's super salty. Other than that, solid and very fast breakfast. read more
