A 24-hour Fort Worth institution since 1962, family-run, breakfast-anytime Ol' South Pancake House stays packed with families, the nearby Texas Christian University crowd, and the occasional loner settled in with a favorite book over a favorite dish. No matter the crowd, everyone enjoys the variety, with 39 flavors of fluffy pancakes and waffles on the menu. The restaurant's signature items: the German Pancake, a 10-egg crêpe-pancake-omelet hybrid with butter, powdered sugar and hot lemon juice syrup folded in tableside by your waitress; and, for lighter appetites, the Dutch Babies, which are small, tangy and sweet pancakes sprinkled with powdered sugar, lemon and butter. Also available are steaks, chicken-fried steak, omelets and sandwiches. Readers Choice winner for Best Breakfast, Best Greasy Spoon and Best Place to Dine Alone in the 2007 Fort Worth Weekly poll. No alcohol available. Cash only. Open 24 hours daily.
