Cucumber salad

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.

Gravy Hot Tub with overcooked Biscuits
James F.

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!

Total bill not bad!

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!

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.

Southern Chicken and Waffle Combo

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.

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 !!

I like to try new places so, I can report to Yelp. This place has some pretty good prices and it…read morewas just a few miles from Turning Point Church so,my Boyfriend and I went here. It's a cute, cozy home that is renovated into a Restaurant. It has a large deck with large umbrellas.Most of the seats were filled because the weather was so great yesterday. Most of the seats were taken inside too. There was a little weight but we were seated pretty quickly compared to the crowd. The Porch serves Breakfast all day. They also have meals for Seniors and for people that want to eat light, like my self. You can get an entree and one side. I chose the Chicken Strips and Mashed Potatoes. The Strips were crispy and a good size. They were not greasy or dry either. I really liked how they were cooked. My Potatoes were short of salt so, I added some. My Boyfriend got three pieces of Catfish, which were large in size with Okra and Mac and Cheese. He said, he enjoyed it and would come back.I tried some of his Okra, that was crispy and seasoned well. Their sweet Tea is extra sweet too. Unfortunately, there's a 4% Processing fee. Which I'm not a fan of. Overall, it was a good experience. Check them out some time. Let me know what you think.

It's rare to have an order come out exactly as requested, but they nailed it. Paired with those perfectly crispy fries and such thoughtful service, it was a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!"

On Thursday, February 12, 2026, I was blessed to be able, to attend an luncheon meeting with some…read more individuals, that I met, at this really nice restaurant, with some delicious food and mouthwatering peach tea. Our waitress, was very nice and she made sure, that we all, had everything we needed to enjoy our meals. The food was cooked hot and ready to eat, that the wonderful waitress brought out to us Since, we were in the restaurant area that is used for meetings, there was no additional, music or any other talking, that was in the main restaurant dinning area, that interfered, with us in the luncheon meeting. The food is really good their, everyone enjoyed their food meal, that they ordered. I recommend, this restaurant and I will be returning.

The food was excellent, but the atmosphere and service felt unusually heavy, which made the visit…read moreless enjoyable than it could have been. Food The entrées and sides were the highlight of the visit -- well‑prepared, flavorful, and worth the price. *Garlic Caper Salmon -- ***** ($22.00) Perfectly cooked, great balance of flavors. *Blackened Rainbow Trout -- ***** ($20.00) Seasoned well, cooked just right. *Iced Tea -- **** ($2.99) solid, nothing to complain about. *Banana Pudding -- **** ($8.00) Tasty, comforting dessert. *Bread Pudding -- *** ($9.00) Decent, but not as strong as the other dishes. *Service & Atmosphere This is where things fell short. The service felt detached, as if the waitress was distracted or simply going through the motions. The overall vibe in the restaurant -- felt unusually downcast, which affected the dining experience. *Would I Return? I would absolutely visit this franchise again, because the food is worth it. But returning to the Burleson location specifically is questionable based on the atmosphere and service during this visit.
