Ol' South Pancake House

Ol' South is just the best. It's a staple here in Fort Worth and its king when it comes to down-home country cooking. I love that I can get breakfast food 'round the clock, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Their biscuits are so good, fluffy and big, and their pancakes are divine. You can add so many different flavors to spice them up. One order of them can feed me for many meals. If you're feeling adventurous, the Dutch pancakes are out of this world, and you won't find anything like it around. The wait on the weekend is a little extreme in the mornings, but it's always worth it!

This place was much better this time around. I got the chicken and waffle. The chicken was tasty. The waffle was great. Bacon is always good. The eggs were done well. Our waitress was there any time our coffee was low. She was polite and friendly. The place was packed out but we didn't have to wait long for anything.

First off I’d like to say the food was great and I was so thankful this place stays open since it was perfect for an after concert meal, I will definitely come back when I’m in town again. From the moment we sat down however, our server just made it very obvious she did not want to be there. Maybe we caught her on a bad night. Barely spoke to us, and was nowhere on the floor until our food was ready. We were in a small booth next to the kitchen and I also happened to catch her telling the hostess that “just because my section is open, doesn’t mean I want to be seated right now.” I felt bad for the hostess, as someone who worked in and trained other staff at restaurants for years, I know that girl was just doing her job the way she should be. After we got our food, we were not even halfway through when our server came back and dropped two separate checks and let us know that we can pay in front and have a nice night. We never asked for separate checks and again, we weren’t even halfway through and we hadn’t been eating for more than a few minutes. We ended up finishing and going to pay up front, the lady in front who checked us out was so sweet so we just hope the server might have had an off night and it gets better.
