Ol' South Pancake House

The Dutch Babies are life changing. I ate at The Ol South 12 times in the last three weeks. Always wonderful busy or not. Waitresses were friendly, efficient and concerned about my groups having a great experience. Food served hot, fresh and fast. I've been going there for the last 45+ years. Always stupendous.Definitely recommend and go back.

First time here after reading good reviews.The restaurant has a nostalgic country feel upon entry. However, the host who seated us was not very welcoming which set the tone. Our server, Nayela, was kind and accommodating, which made up for the initial impression. I was surprised by how busy it was for a Friday morning.To eat, I ordered the breakfast tacos with turkey bacon, which were just okay--nothing special, and a bit sloppy in presentation (6/10). I also tried the Dutch baby pancake, which was delicious! It had a spongecake-like texture but was more moist, with a sweet and tangy filling. One was just enough (9/10), though the presentation could have been better.Overall, the food was decent, but the lack of a welcoming atmosphere made the experience less enjoyable. Glad I got to try it, but likely wouldn't return.

Be very wary of ordering online. My online order had gone through, my card was charged, and I had an email to wait for the confirmation.... 15 minutes go by and I call because I never received a confirmation and I'm trying to pick up food for my 3rd shift team. I'm then told that the system is down, my order will be kicked back and the charge will be kicked back but I need to reorder through the phone.Food is reordered, card is charged again. I go to pick up the food and reconfirm that I will get refunded for the original charge. Food itself was good. Everything was freshly made and packaged well. Later that morning I get an email confirmation and text that my order is being processed... the one that I was told would be kicked back. I call immediately and explain, then recieved a cancelation text. A couple of days later I check my card statement and there is still 2 charges..... mind you it's over a hundred dollars for each charge.I had to call yet again to have them look into it and refund me.Overall food was okay, establishment was clean and had plenty of seating, but was it worth the hassle? Absolutely not.

Good Breakfast with large portiions. Reasonable pricing. Family friendly.We were pleased with our meal and service

I almost always come here whenever I'm in the area, and every time, it was always crowded, so be prepared to wait (especially during lunch/brunch time).After about 30 min wait, I was shown to the table. Then, it took another 15 min (at least) to get orders taken. Maybe they're understaffed, but it was borderline unacceptable.The food is not bad. Portion is fairly generous, and price is cheap. It's a standard breakfast/brunch place. The place is loud, so it's definitely something to keep in mind. The floor feels sticky, and overall feel is kinda dirty (this time worse than before).I am not sure if I'll be back next time. I think part of the reason why I keep coming back is nostalgia. If they can improve service and cleanliness, I'll definitely keep it in my rotation.

Looooove their German pancakes the sampler plate is literally the best I'm obsessed with them and make sure to make time for them every time we are in town!!

I was referred to this diner by a friend, historic 24 hour restaurant nearby TCU campus and a good place for late night food and if you are looking for simple eats. Traditional eggs, bacon, toast, hash browns, nothing totally special. The best part of the dish is the crispy bacon, they have the bacon on lock, very good salty crispy bacon. The hash browns, ehhh they were nothing special. Somewhat bland, no flavor. Dry. I think what was missing was more moisture, needed better and more crispier exterior. Toast needed more favor, nice added whipped butter. Salt was missing from everything. Eggs were perfectly cooked.

I visited Ol South Pancake House for breakfast, looking forward to sampling their renowned offerings. The experience was a mixed bag, with some dishes hitting the mark and others falling short.A standout was the sausage biscuits and gravy. The dish was hearty, flavorful, and comforting - everything you'd want in a classic breakfast staple. The gravy was rich and well-seasoned, complementing the freshly baked biscuits perfectly.The scrambled eggs were another highlight. They were cooked to a fine texture, avoiding the large, chunky pieces often found in less carefully prepared scrambles. This attention to detail in cooking made the eggs particularly enjoyable and a cut above the standard fare.The German Pancake, while good in flavor, had an unexpected texture that didn't completely win me over. It was impressively large, and in hindsight, a mini version might have been a better choice. The pancake's spongy texture was a bit off-putting for me, although the overall taste was pleasant.In summary, Ol South Pancake House serves up a decent breakfast with some dishes standing out more than others. The sausage biscuits and gravy, along with the finely scrambled eggs, are worth trying. However, be mindful of the portion sizes and textures, particularly with the German Pancake, which might not suit everyone's palate. Overall, it's a solid option for a hearty breakfast, though it may not exceed expectations.

Kitty was a great waitress! She was so friendly and attentive, plus we had a St. Louis connection! We'll definitely be back the next time we come to Fort Worth!

Food is amazing! My family and I love ol south but it's always super packed with people but it's worth the wait!
