    A photo of the founder hangs upon the wall of this family owned 24hr Fort Worth landmark. His son runs it today If you respect 'Ol School cooking, avoid the chains — eat here & thank me later! ♡

    Ol' Southern Skillet: it's a biscuit smothered with eggs, gravy, cheese, hash browns and choice of meat. Get it with chorizo, bacon, onion and tomatoes. Greatness. Also one of the best values!

    The absolute best place to stop in Fort Worth after a long night on the town and/or to recover the morning after. Great prices, huge portions. If you leave hungry you're doing it wrong.

    A no-nonsense local favorite that turns out top-notch flapjacks, including the house specialty, a German version served with lemons, powdered sugar and whipped butter. Read more

    Get the German pancake. Get only the German pancake. Do not get any thing on it extra.... just the original German pancake. It's worth it. Trust me.

    The hash is amazing. Doesn't look like all that much when it comes out, but it's crisp and tasty. Get the biscuits with it, they're huuuuge and pillowy and come with an ocean of gravy.

    One of the only sit down restaurants open after 11pm. Great stop for some after-bar coffee with apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Check it!

    The German pancakes are to die for! It's a great place for a late night bite, but it tends to stay crowded with college students.

    try Dutch Baby, it's mini German pancake with lemon instead take "German pancake" which is huge. It's good price and best to try out before you want for more later.

    Everything is great, but if your really wanting to raise your risk for diabetes, get a grilled cheese with the fried cheese in between.

    Chicken strips were bland, chicken fried steak was decent. The coffee was much better this time. I want to love this place, but so far not sure if I'll be back soon...

    If you are going to be using a lap top they have free wifi, but ask to sit in the back so you can get a plug. The downside is you won't get much service.

    Not gonna lie - it's okay. Nice enough place and good food, but I didn't think it was the "ish" like its reputation makes it out to be. Very crowded, but service is good.

    No smoking throughout has kept some of the.really interesting late night characters from showing up as regulars, evidently. Food and service are much better though!
