This is the standard for traditional southern breakfast. It looks like an old, classic place from the outside; and it is. And that's exactly why you should come. I believe the menu said it has been around since 1975, and it shows. They did it right back then it seems, and they're doing it right now. Traditional southern breakfast food is simple and tasty- you won't get any high end crazy things like other breakfast and brunch places, but you'll get exactly what you expect and it will be made exactly the way it should be. The food tastes like home. It's very cozy, very familiar, very very tasty. I recommend the country scramble; such a great classic white gravy and perfectly fluffy biscuits, and some wonderfully scrambled eggs. Stop by if you want a good southern breakfast the way it should be. Or just stop by if you're curious. You won't regret it. Feels like you're back in your small hometown place you've had all your life... read more

I was in a hurry and they were slower than usual (I have really appreciated nice, friendly service through the years). Mickey (very Personable/supportive) stepped in and facilitated my order. I am very grateful for her congenial help. ~ Great coffee, omelet, best hash browns with onions ~ read more

Sunday morning breakfast after attending mass in Farmers Branch. My friend and I like to try different restaurants and I found this one. We walked in and it was packed. A testament to how good the food and service is. You can tell that there are regulars who frequent the restaurant. We were seated rather promptly and greeted by our server quickly. This place had a great family ambiance. My friend and I ordered the cinnamon roll as a starter to our breakfast and it was amazing! Great texture and cinnamon flavor. I ordered the Pete's Special with pancakes. The pancakes are some of the best I've tasted in the DFW area. My friend had the Huevos Rancheros. The food was delicious and had the home cooked feel to it. I will be back again! read more

Pete's Cafe - MIGAS !!! Fresh japs, hashbrowns and flour tortillas, Mmmmmm - Southern Near Me - Farmers Branch, Texas

I love this place. You can never go wrong here. It is the best breakfast brunch place. I always wanna try lunch, but I can never turn down breakfast so I am yet to have a lunch plate here but my favorite is their chicken fried steak and biscuits and coffee. I gave them a four stars because they sat us right away due to our group size. Sometimes you do have to wait 10 to 15 minutes but for the most part they get you seated immediately and are really good at having good service and the food is really good if you're near definitely stop on the weekends get you a warm cinnamon roll before you start. read more

Five-Star Review for Pete's If you're looking for the kind of breakfast spot that feels like a warm hug in diner form, Pete's is the place. The vibe is pure Americana comfort--vinyl booths, sunlight pouring through wide front windows, and a low hum of friendly chatter that never gets too loud. It's like stepping into your favorite childhood memory of breakfast... only better, because now you can appreciate the perfect balance of crisp bacon and bottomless coffee. The food is exactly what you hope for at a place like this: eggs done right every time, pancakes the size of hubcaps, and hashbrowns with that golden crust that says someone back there cares. You can taste the intention in every bite. And let's talk condiments: they just flow. There's no hoarding ketchup packets or awkwardly flagging someone down for hot sauce. Everything you need is already on the table, replenished by staff who move like breakfast ninjas--there when you need them, invisible when you don't. Yes, the average patron age is probably somewhere north of 70, and honestly? That's the secret sauce. The geriatrics have wisdom, and they know a good breakfast better than anyone. If Pete's has earned their loyalty, you know it's the real deal. Go for the food, stay for the community, and leave wondering why you ever ate breakfast anywhere else. read more

Extremely fast and friendly service! We got the Spanish omelette (spicy and flavorful) and then the biscuit scramble (both the biscuits and eggs were fluffy with a generous amount of gravy). Their bacon is crispy to our liking! Solid pricing and cozy, comfortable ambiance for breakfast. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great diner find! Don't know who Pete is but he's got a good thing going here.....the food and the people are legit. Had the Chili/Grilled Cheese combo, hubs had the CFS - all worth the drive! The warm welcome is old school - love it! We will be back! read more

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. read more

Pete's Cafe - Corned beef hash - Southern Near Me - Farmers Branch, Texas

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) read more

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! read more

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. read more

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!

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... read more

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 read more

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! read more
