Excellent food, excellent service and the food was out quickly and very homemade! I highly recommend this place

It's an older café, and the smell of stale coffee mixed with mentholated ointment hits you as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere feels like stepping into your local VFW without the smoke. The service was warm and friendly--like having your mom or grandma waiting on you. Nothing over the top, just genuinely pleasant. I asked my server for a recommendation, and she suggested the two-egg breakfast, which comes with a choice of sides, including their famous "World's Best Pancake." With a name like that, I had to give it a try. I ordered soft-scrambled eggs, hash browns, and the World Famous pancake. The eggs were decent but needed a little help from the salt and pepper. The hash browns were standard diner fare. The "World's Best Pancake," however, was a major disappointment. It was sticky, gooey, and lacked any real structure. Honestly, it reminded me more of undercooked cake batter than a pancake. The syrup didn't taste like maple either--it seemed more like a basic corn syrup, simple pancake syrup. Overall, the friendly service was the highlight of the meal, but the food, especially the signature pancake, didn't live up to the hype. Nothing wrong with this place and nothing phenomenal either. read more

Ye Olde Pancake Station - 2 eggs soft scrambled , sausage patties, hash browns and pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

The only high point of this meal was that we were having breakfast with our grandchildren. The breakfast was awful. Eggs were undercooked, pancakes were so so at best, and the taste of the bacon was "off". Hash browns were ok. Will NOT be eating here again and would NOT recommend!! read more

The service was good. Ambiance was good. The food was heavily lacking. We ordered the spinach omelette with hash browns and pancakes and the two eggs with bacon and hash browns and pancake. My wife's pancakes were overly buttered which defeated the purpose of the pancake. The omelette instead of having cheese on the inside they put the cheese squares on the top which defeated the purpose of the omelette. They were so much better but today they were lacking. read more

Delicious and their waitstaff are hopping! Great food and great service here in Amarillo. Come and get your breakfast here! read more

The service was excellent. The breakfast was amazing. I had the combination omelette, best omelette I had. Will go again when I'm in Amarillo. read more

Very fast service! I got a kids meal which was one pancake, one egg, and one piece of bacon. If you get a normal pancake they're HUGE. The pancake wasn't anything special but it was good! I have never been asked how I want my bacon cooked, but they asked and then cooked it to perfection! So I was very pleased there. read more

I've been coming to this place for months and from time to time I have issues with the way that my eggs are cooked. Today the owner decided that he did not like the fact that I waited for 45 minutes for my order and when he returned with it, my plate had eggshells in it. I kept coming back because I got great service from the wait staff Stephanie. So seriously find a staff that knows how to make eggs of all the times that I've come there. I've had to send my order back six times at least and it's always because of the eggs nothing else service and everything was good but don't get butt hurt because I like my eggs a certain way and you don't pay attention to what the waitresses enters in. Just because this is a place where everybody knows your name doesn't mean you can feed people whatever you want. read more

Five stars all the way around! I grew up in Amarillo and never knew about this delicious breakfast spot. While in town recently to visit family, I met my dad and brother here for a quick but delicious breakfast! I had scrambled eggs, sausage, and grits. My dad had a burrito and my brother had the veggie omelette. They said their dishes were good as well. Our waitress was Jenifer, simply fantastic, kind, and attentive. My mom and dad come here often and Jenifer is their chosen server. Highly recommend asking for her if you stop in. Restaurant was very clean, several employees stopped by to say hi to my dad and brother (frequent guests). While they were checking in on regular customers, I also noticed they were doing the same with everyone. TLDR: Ask for Jenifer. Food is delicious! Great atmosphere and clean restaurant. read more

Thank you, Yelp, for pointing us to this perfect local eatery. The Dutch Baby got our attention, but everything was delicious and our server, Cheryl, should be cloned and spread around to every diner that cares about customer service. Out hotel was just around the corner from this hidden gem (hiding out since 1957), but we will never pass through Amarillo again without planning a stop here for breakfast. read more

I went there for a late breakfast and there were at least 10 people ahead of me, so I sat at the counter. The staff were friendly and fast. The buttermilk biscuits were delicious! I had a Dutch Baby with strawberries, eggs and sausage on the side. Everything was good. read more

Delicious! I'm so happy with this stop and definitely looking forward to stopping by again the next time I'm through the top of Texas. Great service, great food, no wait if you're willing to sit at the counter. No notes! read more

We are from Phoenix and traveling through Texas back from our visit to New Orleans. If you want to visit an old Texas diner, mostly frequently by the locals, this is your place. Good food, friendly service, good prices. It's a very busy place! We arrived at 8:15 AM on Wednesday and we were able to get a table, but it was pretty full. The ladies are friendly, but no nonsense! They are all hustling to take and deliver orders. We asked Dawn how she was doing and she kind of smiled and said I have absolutely no clue. They ordered the Dutch baby, sausage and eggs, and buttermilk pancakes. I didn't love the Dutch baby, it tasted kind of salty. But the pancakes were a solid choice, along with the eggs and sausage. We are kind of coffee snobs and not fans of diner coffee. We like a nice medium roast, which is hard to find. This coffee was actually pretty good! Once you're done, leave a nice tip for the ladies on the table and take your ticket up to the cashier to check out. read more

Amazing food and service! My favorite restaurant in Amarillo. It's a treat every time!

Stopped in from CA! We saw a lot of people here and thought we would have to wait for at least an hour: we only waited about 20 mins. Place looked clean and cozy and the service was good. Onto the food- the biscuits and gravy is good, the gravy comes with sausage in it and it's a hefty portion of 3 biscuits. On the side we also had bacon and hash browns which are just fine. As for the pancake, it's a big, plate size pancake. To be honest I was not a big fan of it, it tasted a bit like vanilla cake to me but the other person I was with enjoyed it and said it was very filling. read more

OMG...my husband can't stop talkin' about this pancake place! He is a connoisseur of pancakes and he can't get enough of these, so much so, that he had and order to go! The next time we are anywhere next to Amarillo, (he) will be stopping! read more

The cashier just "pointed at empty tables" rather than seating us...somewhat unusual. Breakfast was great and the remodel on the interior is nice. Always crowded but not too loud! read more

The vibe was very old school, nothing fancy decoration wise, but lemme tell you the food and service made it well worth it. The country eggs Benedict was so good, the pancakes were divine, and overall everything we tried was a top notch breakfast item. I will be going back anytime I am in Amarillo! read more

Definitely one of favorite places to go. They serve breakfast and lunch at the same time. I had the World Famous Pancakes and eggs and bacon, my wife had the chicken strip platter with fries, roll and carrot cake. Everything we ordered was amazing. The service was quick, friendly and awesome. The ambiance was home like and western. This is my place to bring family and friends. read more

Great food, great prices, friendly service. My cousins and I stopped here for a late breakfast on our way from Oklahoma City to Albuquerque. We expected to wait, especially on a late Saturday morning, but our wait was only about 15 minutes. My western omelet was well cooked with a good amount of ham and vegetables. My home fries were crisp-tender and very tasty. They were good portions without being too much. My cousin's oatmeal with fruit was also good-sized. The star of the show, though, was the plate-sized pancakes! My other cousin said they tasted of vanilla and were amazing. The menu is huge, with senior options and healthy options, and our server was friendly and efficient. If we find ourselves in Amarillo again, this will be our go-to spot! read more

O.M.G. More pancakes please! I really miss this place! The food is AMAZING!! I can't stress that enough. The pancakes were top notch! Our server was very helpful and courteous. The actual dining area was pretty quaint but needs more decoration. The only drawback was the waiting room, but it moves quickly. You will NOT REGRET it! Please sir, can I have some more? read more

Excellent, quick, friendly service. I was alone and sat at the counter so I was waited on right away on a Saturday morning. I wanted the Dutch baby and was informed that it would take 25-30 minutes to cook (which I expected since I have ordered it at a different restaurant before). But the wait staff kept my water and coffee filled while I waited, and the wait was worth it! I substituted the powdered sugar and lemon for fresh strawberries and whipped cream and it was DELICIOUS! I had time to people watch and ALL the food looked amazing! The breakfast burrito was especially HUGE! I didn't quite understand the fishing themed decorations that hung on the walls, but the restaurant was cute and comfortable and inviting. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by if you are passing through Amarillo. read more

Home run every at Bat. Came here for breakfast mostly because they open at 6 am and other places open at 7. Local place seated with ease and service was over the fence good. Decided to see if they could make a custom breakfast called the stack. Other places don't want to but this waitress/Andrea jumped on with excitement. Stack. Hash Browns with gravy then split biscuit with gravy topped with 2 scramble eggs with onion and bell pepper. Came out perfectly done. Amazing. All around great experience. Can't wait to come back thru Amarillo. read more

Service was friendly. I ordered a waffle with two eggs over easy and crispy bacon. My waffle was a little overcooked but tasted ok. The bacon had an after taste. Maybe because it was left in grease longer because of my request of having it crispy. My husband and stepson ordered huevos rancheros and pancakes with two eggs over easy. read more

My boyfriend and I are on a road trip from Oklahoma to Los Angeles, and we stopped in Amarillo. I'm SO happy we did! One of the best breakfast places I've ever had!! Wow - I was blown away with the great service, tasty food, and very affordable prices (I'm from Los Angeles!) The portions were more than generous, and my boyfriend and I absolutely loved everything we had here. The pancakes are absolutely phenomenal. I got the country fried steak, and my boyfriend for the Texas steak omelette. The steak pieces in the omelette was sooooo tender and there was a generous amount of steak as well. My only regret is not having other friends with us, so we could have tried more food like the cinnamon roll and fried chicken!! Definitely would be a place to come back to should I ever visit Amarillo again! I'd frequent this place often if I lived here! read more

The review I made in 2022 was 5's across the board. I liked the eggs Benedict then but now....... NEW REVIEW 06/23/24: Things have changed. Some some good and some not so good. They have done some remodeling, the staff is just as friendly and the coffee refills keep coming. The coffee cups now match and have their logo imprinted on it. The prices have went up but not very much. #1 - taste: they use an English muffin that is toasted and a very thick ham not Canadian bacon. The eggs were poached soft . The Hollandaise sauce was glistening like it wasn't completed correctly. It comes with hash browns but were disheveled (see photo below) . All of this made the review of the food 3 stars. The rest received 5 stars. #2 -presentation : It looked disappointing . #3-price: $10.25 is a good price for Eggs Benedict. Coffee $2.50 a cup. I can't attest to the rest of the taste of the breakfast meals but I do know the sausage gravy is very very peppery. There are a lot of breakfast eating places in Amarillo, just saying read more

Ye Olde Pancake Station - Eggs Benedict with disheveled hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

I feel like, if Texas were a breakfast restaurant, it would be Ye Old Pancake House. I'm new to town and I've already been here several times. It is the definition of home cooking in an unpretentious, no-frills environment. To date, everything I've eaten here has been fantastic. I can't imagine there is anything on the menu that is subpar. It is called "Ye Old Pancake House" and true to its name, the pancakes are pretty awesome. I'd highly recommend them. The service has always been friendly and helpful. Be warned, it gets busy and you might have to wait in line if you don't show up early enough. But the wait isn't bad as they seem to be very efficient about getting people in and out. So to sum up, if you're in the area, and you need a hearty, down home style breakfast, this is your spot. read more
