Our visit to Ol' South Pancakes House in Burleson, TX, on Easter Sunday was a nice one. We expected a long wait for our party of five on this holiday Sunday, but only had about a minute or two before we were seated around 10:30am. Everyone in our party opted for the Classic breakfast, but each added a bit of customization. I chose the scrambled eggs, two sausage patties, accompanied by two huge, fluffy biscuits with a big bowl of gravy. All meals were prepared just right and delivery quickly by our friendly wait staff (and the handy robot). My eggs and sausage were good, typical breakfast fare, but the biscuits were the highlight - very tall and fluffy! Coffee was also quite tasty and plentiful. And, even though the placed was packed, it was not too loud, and we were able to carry on nice table conversations. read more

Came here on a recommendation. When we arrived the place was packed. Once we were seated the manager got us drinks going while we were waiting for the server. The food was made to order and delicious. The sever was attentive and the prices fair. It's a busy spot and a little loud but expected of a popular spot. Definitely a place of comeback to. read more

We had a fantastic brunch here. My husband says the pancakes were the best he's ever had. I had the chicken fried steak and it was great. Kids had french toast and chicken and waffles and were met with seals of approval. Our server was great and Bella the robot who brought our food to the table was adorable. read more

Food was great....service meh...was ask to go there from a friend who traveled from Granbury TX to take my husband and I out as a thank you. This was 1st time for all of us! Friend from out of town went to pay bill and there was a 22% mandatory tip. No where in signage, on menu, or explaination referencing tip until she went to pay. A tip is just that but hey they had a robot that is Bluetooth (who cares). We were all offended. Guess they are paying the servers bare minimum and my husband just watched the filthy clean up table beside of us. read more

Went for breakfast this morning and had Nicole as our waitress. She IS simply the BEST. I ordered the mini Dutch baby with blueberries and a side of Turkey Bacon and my son had the breakfast tacos. All food was cooked to perfection! Thank-you Nicole for your warm professionalism! read more

I ordered to-go but this place give Walker Brothers vibes. I only ordered a salad, but I don't expect that I will eat here much, if at all. The salad was ok, but nothing to brag about. The cashier smelled like she smoked a pack of cigarettes on her break and seemed like it was a bother to pay my tab. read more

Old South Pancake House, after all these years, I still love. German pancakes are the very best. But, you have many other choices to make, as well as lunch and dinner! read more

This place is simply awesome!! Dutch babies and German pancakes - their signature dishes- are the best I've ever tasted! Everyone is always so very friendly and service had always been impeccable. This establishment is obviously managed extremely well. We love Dustin the GM! We have to wait now on the weekends, but we don't mind - that's how you know the place is great - when there is a line out the door!! We go every weekend if we can. read more

Enjoyed the German pancake as always. Been going to Ol' South since I was a little girl just for these.

This is the second time we have came here (from out of town) and it does not disappoint. The food is AMAZING and the service is the best of the best! Nicole took care of us as if we were family We will be back for sure! read more

I LOVE the Ol' South Pancake House in Fort Worth. I in fact used to coerce my ex wife into driving 4 hours by simply serving her coffee in a branded mug. That didn't work? Me sipping my beverages out of said cup in photographs to until she relented. Present day my GF loves it too; an integral part of any visit to the metroplex. 3am the morning we're gonna head north and I already am awake and ready to roll. Make some tea for my teen and a quick shower and we made it to the Burleson location at 8:30am. Cute downtown and the restaurant fits right in. Nice space; similar format to the FW location. German pancakes here I come! Prepared tableside; for this visit they were perfect. This bumped the star rating up. Not so perfect items accompanied them unfortunately. Scrambled eggs...I've had better at fast food restaurants. Hibachi style chopped into oblivion; wished I got a pic because I took one bite and moved the dish to the other side of the table for disposal. Zero fluff and flavorless! Kill Bill 3? Biscuits spent too much time in the oven and weren't the golden tops they were supposed to be. Gravy was acceptable as was the service; off day I hope. I love this mini chain (2 restaurants). Stop killing signature items! I wanna love you! read more

The wife has been craving some breakfast food for dinner for sometime. We looked at some options and decided on this Ol Pancake House after and lengthy discussion lol I decided to get the classic Denver Omelet which came with the normal diced ham, green peppers, onions and bell peppers which came to $10.79 which is not a bad price at all. I also added biscuits and gravy with sausage at $5.29. Would have to say that my Denver Omelet was just ok. I did really enjoy the biscuits and gravy though Our server Michael T was top notch very attentive and gave top notch service The ambience is typical of a breakfast place, but a fun highlight was the robot that brought out our food having Christmas music playing, which was super fun! I do want to come back and try their famous Dutch baby (German Pancake) which we found out after that it's their staple in the restaurant. With 3 people and only a total bill of $44.00 is not bad at all! read more

Dustin and his staff provided an excellent dining experience for our group. They went out of their way to accommodate our large group (19) during the busiest time of the week. All the dishes came to our tables at the same time, and of course the food was delicious! The staff was very friendly and fun as well. read more

I chose their popular German pancakes and didn't like them. The pancakes were way too sweet that I could literally taste the diabetes. It's funny because I specifically asked for no powdered sugar but they still added it anyways. Our server was nice but maybe a notepad would be better than just memorizing the order. My wife didn't have a good experience either when she called the restaurant to ask if the biscuits and gravy had eggs in it. They told her no on the phone but said yes after we ordered them in the restaurant. She's allergic to eggs by the way. I will try again and the next time I'll ask again for no sugar and maybe no lemon either on my German pancake. read more

I went here to have breakfast with my friends on New Year's Day. The place was busy and staff was extremely friendly! When I think of southern food (as the restaurant name says) I immediately think flavorful! Unfortunately, this was not where it was at! Seating was quick and our server was very attentive to our needs. The food was brought out in a reasonable amount of time and it was warm but the flavor was lacking. Presentation was nice, we got what we ordered but the flavor fell very flat. The Dutch sampler was all the same base with simple different toppings that didn't leave desire to try the next one, the pancakes were fluffy but lacked any sweetness and were extremely bland. The turkey bacon wasn't crispy and was sad. The eggs were basic hotel scrambled eggs you could find anywhere that were very underwhelming and the only thing we enjoyed was the fresh fruit we requested to top things off. The waffle was a basic machine made waffle, not even looking homemade or restaurant made. I was hoping to like this place to add it as a frequent to bring guests since we like to show off our neck of the woods but it just didn't give me a desire to even look back. We did love their service and the staff was great so we tipped well simply on that, however the food is lacking greatly and it's not that I have a sweet tooth or am picky, it was just very sad and disappointing to see I was getting "motel" style food at a breakfast restaurant. If that's what you're looking for, then check them out. You'll enjoy the cozy feel of it. Otherwise, the food will just disappoint you. Go in with an open mind, it might be for you, it definitely was and is not for us. I would love to give more stars on service alone but this is a food review so I have to keep it real. read more

5 stars! Saturday at a breakfast restaurant is always crazy. Our family of 5 was quoted 20 minutes and it was true to the minute. The place was packed. As soon as we got seated our server was very busy yet she was amazing. We did not have to wait for refills and she continued to see if we needed anything. A gentleman cleaning a table (come to find out he was the manger) accidentally spilled condiments on the floor and my son reacted quick to help him clean the mess. At the end of our meal, our check was taken care of by the resturant manager Dustin. He was the kindest man to gift us such a wonderful meal out of my sons kindness to help him . Bravo Ole South pancake house. What a wonderful establishment with quality food and great staff! read more

On my second visit to Ol' South Pancake House, the food unfortunately did not meet the standards I had experienced before. Consistency in food delivery is a big part of what makes a dining experience enjoyable, and this time it fell short. What makes this more disappointing is that my very first visit was amazing -- the food was delicious, and the experience was enough to bring me back a second time. Because of the drop in quality, I can only leave 3 stars. read more

My wife and I have never been to ol pancake house and were excited to try it. As you see in my picture, we tried almost everything (except what they're known for) and were pretty disappointed. Pros: our waitress was very kind and accommodating and it was very empty. They also have a robot serve you your food, which I thought was a little strange but can be fun for others. The chicken in my Chicken n Waffles meal was very flavorful and saved the meal. Cons: waffles were recommended over the pancakes and they were very bland with little to no flavor. The fruit was old and the line cooks had cut out the "bad parts" of the fruit and still served it to us. The coffee bacon, turkey bacon and eggs were nothing to write home about and the biscuits were dry and over cooked. I think we were hoping to have a "local Cracker Barrel" experience and got a sad and overpriced meal. Again, we didn't get the pancakes at a pancake house and maybe that was our mistake. Would recommend visiting Cracker Barrel, Our Place or Elks Diner if you're looking for quality for a good price. read more

Ol' South Pancake House - Southern Chicken and Waffle Combo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Burleson, Texas

We had great service, a really nice breakfast with leftovers for the next day. Seated very quickly and it was packed. My soft scrambled eggs were PERFECT. Biscuits and gravy my hubbie really enjoyed. Instead of bacon or sausage, I had the grilled jalapeño cheese sausage!!! DELICIOUS. Only meh I felt was I wanted blueberries in my waffles.... I got thawed frozen blueberries on top of my waffle which made the center a soggy bleeech. So note for others- they do NOT put fresh blueberries into the waffles and cook it. My mistake for not asking. A big surprise my hubbie noticed the MINI PIES by the cashier. OMGOSH- the Dutch apple crumb pie - my mother and I loved it!! Give it a try . This is a solid place to come to, reasonably priced and friendly service. read more

Just go. Excellent menu, great service, clean establishment. A wide variety of food on the menu, so everyone can get what they want. The sausage gravy reminds me of my mom's amazing gravy. Delicious. read more

Food and service amazing! I had the Dutch baby German pancakes and they are to die for, so delish ! And my server Carmen was amazing highly recommend !! read more

So we intended to go to The Original Pancake House but clicked the wrong location and this was the best mistake we could make. I'm so glad we tried this place. The lemon German Pancakes were tasty and something different. Our server Nieyla was on top of everything! She knew the menu in and out, was super friendly and attentive and I couldn't have asked for better service. The eggs benedict was delicious too. I didn't get to try the chicken and waffles but my friend said they were good. The place was super packed on a Saturday afternoon and now I can see why. read more

Had the Chicken Fried Steak and it was excellent! Service was outstanding and food was reasonably priced! Highly recommend!

We came back for breakfast, Alicia was great and recommended kicking my hash browns up a notch. The German pancake was just as good if not better than the first time. My husband and daughter kept it traditional with pancakes and bacon eggs and chicken fried steak. read more

As a young child, I pestered my Slovak grandmother to "make big pancakes grandma, please!" I didn't know at that age that she was serving up crapes, on which butter was melted, sugar sprinkled lightly, the crape folded up like a tootsie roll and cut into little "tires". My God, they were good. Well, this past week I ordered small Dutch Babies, asked the waitress to hold the fruit and powdered sugar. You know where I'm going with this, don't you? As I neared the end of my little "tire slices", I wished I had ordered two modified Dutch Babies. Just a great way to break your diet-fast. read more

The ambience is good. The food is good (not amazing). The services always superb, no matter when I have gone. In all I want to recommend it more highly, but it's not a stand-out unless you are there for the amazing German pancakes. Which leads to my next observation: the breakfast foods are much better than lunch and dinner items, in my opinion. Where else can I get buckwheat pancakes? The omelets, waffles, eggs and other breakfast choices are stellar. Did I mention the German pancake? read more

Please eat the pork chop and eggs. Either fried or grilled both are AMAZING. Also the jalapeño sausage is delicious. This one is way nicer than the one in Fort Worth in my opinion. read more

Loved my experience so much, I can back the the next day. The German pancake was the star of the show! I was a little concerned about all the butter but it was delicious. I almost bought the mix but it called for 7 eggs and I thought that would make a lot of pancake(s). The service was awesome and they even had a robot delivering the food! read more

My last meal at Ol' South (Fort Worth) was good and bad. Tough chicken fried steak and super dry mashed potatoes. Excellent German pancake. Management responded to the bad and gave me a gift card. This visit I started with the breakfast tacos, sausage and eggs only, eggs soft scrambled. I got them just as ordered and nice, hot and fresh. I finished my meal with the famous German pancake. Tacos very good. Pancake excellent. Good coffee too. My server Laura did a great job of taking care of me. She kept my coffee cup full. read more

OVERALL EXPERIENCE Definitely one of our go-to spots in Burly. (Detailed review below) OUTDOORS (9/10) Ol' South Pancake House is in a prime location in Burleson. It has a outdoor patio seating overlooking a very busy street making it seem as if you're in a large city. INDOORS (5/10) The decor is very southern and you can smell the humidity inside. It reminds me of a cafe dinner. I do recommend for it to be better ventilated and cleaned. WAITING TIME (10/10) We didn't have to wait on a Tuesday around 1pm. ORDER Chicken and Waffles Combo 10/10 Definitely a meal worth trying! My husband and I just come for this. The chicken is tender and fried to perfection. The waffles complement it very well drowsed in butter and syrup. They bring it along with gravy. We made our meals combos which added eggs and a choice of meat. SERVICE Our waiter, Mason, was phenomenal. He was quick to gather any requests we had and accommodated us well. He was polite and even introduced us to the robot waiter! read more

Food was not hot seem like it was reheated. Overpriced side items paid $9 just for macaroni and cheese that want even fresh. Not worth it at all. read more

Carmen was amazing! very attentive and accommodating! I always enjoy my food and the service is what makes or breaks the experience!

Normally this would be a 2 star rating but the service was very good. I ordered a grapefruit juice and eggs Benedict. The grapefruit juice was bottle ocean spray ruby red. While I didn't expect fresh squeezed, I did expect something a bit closer to traditional tart and sour grapefruit juice. Probably worst eggs Benedict I've ever had. Very sloppy, not stacked up like you usually see with a tightly poached egg but almost more platter style with way too much hollandaise, way under toasted bread. The ham was pretty good hear though to save the dish. My partner had breakfast tacos with sausage. There was just nothing about them that was special. One could make better at home. Some eggs scrambled up with some sausage and thrown into a tortilla. Bland, basic and very below average. Service was excellent. Friendly hostess, friendly server. We likely will not return here for breakfast. read more

I love it. That's how I describe Dutch babies and German pancakes, their specialty. And thick crispy bacon. Yum

Food was bland and not worth the money. Staff was slow and did seem to care too much another job. Could hear multiple staff members complaining about coworkers and customers. Would not recommend and possibly not return ..... read more

I have been waiting for soooo long for our Burleson Ol' South to open! Now that it's here and open, I can't quit eating here! I absolutely love their breakfast - so many choices and so much deliciousness!! My favs are the pancakes, waffles, crepes and Dutch babies. The Dutch babies are to die for. If you haven't ever had one, do yourself a favor and get one! Dusted with powdered sugar and drenched in lemon and butter, these things will make your tail wag! Also, the coffee is so good as is pretty much everything on the menu. The service is a bit slow as they are just getting rolling, but everyone is so very friendly and helpful and I expect this will correct itself as things settle in. I fully anticipate many more happy visits will be in my very near future. So happy OS is here!!! read more
