Checked this place out yesterday with my sister. We ordered to go and our food was prepared quickly. The portions are generous too. My sister got the chicken fried steak, two poached eggs, hash browns and pancakes. I got the build your own breakfast with sausage patties, eggs over hard, breakfast potatoes and waffles. The portions were super generous and the food was delicious! read more

A horrible experience! The food was cold and I was served pancakes on a dirty plate! Will not be coming back! read more

Wow! Needed a good breakfast close to my hotel and I saw this place when I was driving in the day before. Really friendly waitress, great food, fast and delicious! Definitely recommend and I will definitely be back when in town!!! read more

Traditional diner dishing up simple breakfast entrees, chicken sandwiches and hamburgers. Service is fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Great value and good food! read more

The food is wonderful! I did a pick up order through door dash, and the receipt did not print for the staff. They quickly corrected that and were super fast about making my order. Highly recommend them, some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered! read more

Ummmm, so I had high hopes for this place. "Hot Pancakes", right? First, things that come out to the table is the pancakes... oh, they smelled so good! I took a taste without the syrup, just butter on them.... so delicious! The rest of the food went down from there. I wish I took a pic of my sad little side plate of 3 bacon straws (not strips) because they were so thin and unappetizing looking. I never add salt to my food, but this needed so much more seasoning. Everything was just lack luster.... wonk,wonk! read more

Great service and great food. Old school pancake house without the 20 dollar a person tab. Thanks for the laughs From the hair guy. read more

The waffle with the bananas and cinnamon was the yummiest thing, very good!! The grits were a little watery and could have cooked longer.

If u don't want to read further let me just say I blew up about 4 restrooms after this hit my digestive tract. Came in around 1230 Saturday. I woke with dreams of Pete's cafe in Addison but no no gotta check out something new. Equal distance. 8 miles to Pete's. 8 miles to this spot. Smh. I walk in and the girl yells from the back for here or to go! For here and why don't you come out n greet like most folks do. Told to seat myself. Got the hot cakes platter. Eggs bacon ham sausage hash browns n pancakes. Add cheese to the hash browns please. She yells to the server tell her its 50 cents more. Tired of folk yelling I tell her I heard u. You are 15 feet away. Got some luke warm food 10 min later. Nothing with flavor. Air tastes better. I thought the bacon was burned dark as it was but it was decent. No one asked how anything was. I got a to go box after tasting some of everything. 30 min later.. Toilet. Day later my belly is still filled with regret.. Threw out the leftovers. Thanks for messing up 1 of my only days off work on the toilet read more

They say that you get what you pay for....which is spot on here. You can walk away having a breakfast for under $5. But it isn't the finest meal you'll ever enjoy. If you're on a budget and are not too picky, this place has you covered. It's very dated-the menu has pictures that appear to have been taken with a very old camera-and were never updated. Signs throughout the restaurant look the same. Service was ok-although we did have to ask for refills and for direction on paying our check. (They don't bring it to your table, you go up to the counter when you're done eating and tell them what you ordered. Then you pay.) I want to say that it was great-many of the other reviewers thought it was. But in my book, it was just "meh," and with so many other options, I'd probably go elsewhere. read more

This place has no business being this good... I usually take pictures of the dishes when reviewing restaurants but I was honestly distracted by the food. You know it's good when the place is quiet because everyone is eating. I got the country fried chicken, eggs, hash browns and pancakes. The country fried chicken was thick and the breading was perfect. Not to mention, the pancakes, they were delicious. Nothing like some delicious diner breakfast to put you in a food coma on a Sunday Morning. read more

Worth the wait! Good food. Wonderful service friendly staff, the place is clean. Will go again! read more

It's always with a heavy heart when I occasionally give a business one star... Everything about this restaurant is Wrong! Upon arriving we felt like we were a bother to the wait staff, all huddled together, having a private conversation. The restaurant looked on the dirty side, lots of tables also needed bussing. Our food was cold & the coffee tasted burnt, like it had been on the burner way too long. I asked for a couple of extra paper napkins for the 2 of us, and my server brought ONE, lol. Tables are way too close together. It was so bad we didn't even finish our meal! My question is...how do you mess up so badly on breakfast service??? Answer...Hot Pancakes!!!! We will NEVER return! read more

I went to Hot Pancakes for the first time today and will definitely go back. I got two of the build your own breakfast plates and was impressed with the options and serving sizes. Also was not expecting them to also include a drink. read more

This best used to be a diamond. great service! great food! excellent price! The las two weeks, breakfast of waffle, scrambled eggs, and sausage, only waffle was served first. dining partner got their whole order. sausage and eggs came after waffle was finished. today ordered same breakfast. server had a hard time figuring out which table it went to. my dining partner never got their order so we canceled that order. the place used to be flawless. not sure if there are new people in the kitchen, new waitresses. don't really care not going back read more

Great value! Friendly service! Make your own breakfast/ pick 3 items. We had scrambled eggs, bacon and turkey sausage. The oats are prepared with water, but they are quick cook, which was a bummer! read more

Filling and cheap, the food isn't anything special but it gets the job done. I had a chorizo scramble and the chorizo was nothing like typical chorizo, very weird. My boyfriend got the stuffed French Toast and it was pretty good. read more

Best place for breakfast or any time. They have great food that is fresh and cooked to order. Johnny and the wait staff are friendly and great people. If you haven't been here , I recommend you try this place. The burgers are the BEST in town! read more

Came for the reviews and now I believe the hype. The service is great, fast and friendly. The food is delicious. I got the sausage link, scrambled eggs and banana nut pancakes. The hash browns were seasoned (unlike some other places) The decaf coffee actually tasted like there was no caffeine (which is why I asked for decaf) The entire place is more like a diner in a strip center next to a gas station. So it wasn't that big, maybe 15 ish tables. But it was very cozy and felt welcoming. Nothing cramped about it at all. Nice spot in Richardson to get some actually good tasting food that is worth the price. Plus the prices are VERY reasonable. This place is very comparable to the overrated breakfast/brunch places that are out there. read more

Good food with much more than pancakes. Friendly employees. Lots of locals which we look for in a place to eat when we don't know the area.

Just stopped into this little place for some hot pancakes and they were delicious! Great service and delicious food at a very fair price. If you like pancakes don't just drive by this place but stop in and see for yourself. read more

Hot Pancakes did not disappoint! Tucked away next to the 7-11, they had plenty of food choices and delicious coffee. Highly recommend checking them out for breakfast! I ordered two eggs over medium with hash browns and sausage and my boyfriend ordered two eggs over medium with hash browns and sausage patties and French toasts. He is by far the harsher food critic and he agreed that the breakfast was amazing. read more

You have to try this place out. Build your own breakfast is your choice of 3 items from their list plus a drink for $4.95!!!! Choose from: Two eggs Three bacon slices Corned Beef Hash Two Sausage Patties Smoked Ham Sausage Link Turkey Sausage Links Grits Biscuit Home Fries French Fries Hash Browns White Toast Wheat Toast English Muffin Fruit Cup Tomato Slices Belgian Waffle Pancakes Peaches with Cottage Cheese Oatmeal with raisin and brown sugar French Toast Then you get a drink! That could be a bottle of orange juice or a Coke! I got the pancakes, fried eggs over hard, bacon and a Dr. Pepper. All were cooked fine and served the way they should. I kind of expected the pancakes to be bigger, but they're about 6-7 inches in diameter. The kid that gave us our menus was great. He was enthusiastic and made us feel at home. He suggested we try the hamburger. I would have had I not been in the mood for breakfast. We're definitely going to come back here soon. These prices can't be beat! read more

Hot Pancakes - $4.95 for 3 breakfast items and a drink? Are you out of your mind? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

The service was excellent and food was wonderful and so reasonably priced. The place was packed and you can see why. The staff is so friendly and top off your coffee every few minutes. Food was fresh and hot. Can't wait to go here again. read more

Food Service Ambiance . The catfish is better than Sam's in Arlington and better than Soul Man's BBQ's Friday nite fish fry. It is outstanding. The burgers are perfect, the pancakes are marvelous. I could go on but go there yourself and see for yourself. If all the tables are taken and there are people standing in line or eating standing up, get in line and get your meal to go. read more

This is a good breakfast place. Service is good, food is good and service if fast. If I ever get in that neighborhood again, I will go again. read more

HPP was excellent. Omelettes were a hit also. We showed up about 8ish on a Saturday morning. We were seated right away and food came fast. There was a big rush after we came in and there was a little bit of a wait for those folks. Staff is friendly and attentive. My coffee never ran out. read more

Serving breakfast all day! This pace never disappoints! Great food, affordable fast friendly service. read more

Hot Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Would have reduced to four stars as the eggs (scrambled) and sausage were more or less what I could make at home. The sausage were the round kind and not the little smokey style (the ones like a small dog poop) so I was suspicious that they might be some white label brand. That will forever remain a secret at this point. Five star rating floats in though due to the service. it was stellar. The phone rang for about twenty minutes straight and the lady said there are not enough people to answer the phone. The two waitresses were running but never missed a beat. When I got up to pay, I answered the phone and they hung up. I was sick of it ringing and I guess they realized I was not qualified to take their "to go"order. The high point was the bacon. It was cooked to perfection. Super crispy with no excess grease. I would not eat here often as I would probably die of a heard attack but as far as general comfort food goes, you can take down a good meal here. Side note - I ate here with Keith Braccialini who is an elite Cross Fit instructor and he gave it five stars as well but does not know how to write Yelp reviews so I thought a shout out was in order. read more

This place is right next to the 7-11 in the gas station-strip mall. The portions are big, prices are cheap. Food is also nothing extraordinary but consists of typical American staples. Nothing is high quality here, but it seems to fit the bill for affordable comfort diner food, and I haven't seen any in Dallas that matches this place in terms of both portion and price. The pancakes were nothing to write about - a little on the salty/ savory side even if the pancakes were well made. Want the recipe? It's written on the wall, literally. And I saw even a kid get a Micky Mouse pancake to get his day started. Super cute. I also saw that there's pumpkin spice pancakes in the menu. Interesting. Hash browns were not toasted enough to my liking since it was pretty thick. Eggs were great. Hard to mess up scrambled eggs but I was pleased here. Chicken fried steak tastes good even though it looks premade. Although it's thickness make me think otherwise. That being said, the breakfast burrito is probably your best bet here. You can add an avocado for a 75 cents up charge too. The service was friendly and all of the workers are teenagers or folks just starting in their 20s. This also seem to be run by a Vietnamese family since there were a lot of Vietnamese workers. I wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at the menu though. And the ambience is clean, updated, and organized. Good for families with children, especially for those who just need to save money without compromising on a good meal. For a quick, filling, and affordable breakfast on those days when you don't really want to care about anything, this is a decent place to be. read more

Hot Pancakes - That's a big meal for just one order. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Excellent food and service. Had the veggie omelet and it was delicious. Recommend it whole heartedly.

Pancakes are fabulous but ordered a sunny side-up egg and it was uncooked!

Even though we arrived 45min before they close, they were very friendly and welcoming. The food was great! The pancakes are very good, and I loved they home fries. The prices are amazingly low. Will come back! read more

Great food...chicken fried steak, pork chop. The pancakes, of all things (it's in the name of the restaurant), were just a little rubbery. Service was great & fast!! read more

Located in a 7-11 strip one wouldn't think both the food and service could be superlative! But excellent it is. We had several items from the menu and all were delicious, hot and served fast by a friendly waitress. The prices are way less than one would expect for this kind of quality. Great value. Go there. Enjoy! read more

I went the healthy route with an egg white veggie omelette and was so pleasantly surprised- it was so fresh and good.

This place has roaches!!!!! I saw a baby roach come across my plate. Never again will come here. The waiter even saw it and offered us a new plate... read more
