Ol South Must Never Rise Again

   SKing1023 - 06/13/2008

This place is still living on its reputation from 1959 and it smells like it. The interior is worn, out of date, and dirty. The food tastes like a bunch of second graders are in the kitchen learning to cook. The wait staff has no energy and seldom smiles. Do yourself a favor, instead of this breakfast hole...go to the Paris Cafe on Magnolia.

GERMAN PANCAKES

   MARYBCHILDOFGOD - 06/06/2008

THE GERMAN PANCAKES ARE SO WONDERFUL, THAT THEY ARE SINFUL. I REALLY AVOID GOING BECAUSE I CAN'T RESIST. RARELY, I TAKE SOMEONE THERE AND WATCH THEIR FACE AS THEY SAY"TOO SWEET" BUT I LOVE IT. I BET THEY GO BACK, WITHOUT ME. A SPECIAL TREAT .

Are we all eating at the same place?

I've never had a meal that I've enjoyed at the Ol' South. For a while I kept going back because it's supposed to be a Fort Worth legend. Maybe once upon a time, but no longer. La Madeleine or Mimi's are much better choices.

We have been going there for years. It is a 50 mile trip for us but we do try to go at least several times a year. I have never had German pancakes like these.
They used to have a restaurant in Dallas, but it closed many many years ago.
Wish they would put one back in the Dallas area.
Will keep on going. With family, Red Hat Society and just friends!

College memories

I went to TCU, and we used to go here for Sorority events, and after parties. Great memories, and also, Great food.

Love it here!

I work in a bar, so usually when I get off, I'm there for breakfast and to wind down. I always run into someone I know. The food is awesome, the staff is always nice, and everything I order...no matter how difficult it may be is always right. I love it here!

Trippin Out

   thejames07 - 06/21/2005

Ok, in the main non-smoking dining room, there is the funkiest light fixture that covers most of the cieling. It looks like a slanted checkerboard, and if you stare at it long enough, everything else blacks out and all you see is a trippy checkerboard with a bunch of random colors penetrating your vision. The cause of this, of course, is the following:
1. Lack of sleep (If you are up at 3:30 in the morn, this is the place to be)
2. The second hand smoke is unhealthy and/or amazing
3. Sugar rush from the German Pancakes (best ever)!!!!!!!

The German Pancakes are out of this world. They are served in a grand fashion. These German Pancakes will have you returning over and over and over. They are terrific. Joe

I guess the previous reviewer must have come on a really lousy day, because my friends and I have been going to Ol' South for years, and the service is pretty good! This is the ultimate late night spot to eat; the food is very affordable (considerably cheaper than IHOP, for starters), and the pancakes and chicken fried steak are both fantastic!! As for the atmosphere, you will always find a varied but friendly crowd there; I absolutely recommend it!
