The Original Pancake House is your typical breakfast- and lunch-only restaurant, since it closes in the afternoon every day. They’re known for making awesome pancakes, since “pancake” is in the name, but they also serve up Southwestern staples like huevos rancheros and breakfast tacos, waffles, French toast, Benedicts, omelets, and, of course, crepes.

At OPH, you can get a few different kinds of crepes. Get the Classic Shells version for something simple or go full authentic with the French-style crepes served with fresh strawberries. You can also get the Coffee Maple Banana crepes, which feature fresh bananas, pecans, and a coffee-maple glaze. The Cherry Kijafa crepes are coated in a Danish wine sauce for a delicious twist. While this location doesn’t have its own savory crepes on the menu, you can always add savory sides, like bacon or sausage, to your crepe meal.

There are multiple locations around the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including one right here in our hometown. You can find the Fort Worth OPH location at 4646 S.W. Loop 820. This crepe-making destination is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Ol’ South Pancake House

The Ol’ South Pancake House is another place that deserves the pancake house title because their “Famous Pancakes” are a must-try for all Fort Worth folks. In addition to pancakes, this restaurant serves waffles, biscuit-based skillets, breakfast burritos and platters, omelets, and, you guessed it, crepes.

Get the French-style crepes that are topped with strawberries and fluffy whipped cream. Or, grab the Swedish crepes topped with lingonberries and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Both options involve homemade crepe batter cooked to perfection for a sweet breakfast or brunch treat.

There’s also the Sunrise Breakfast, which has scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, onions, tomatoes, and truffle mayo.

Those who love plant-based foods can order the Vegan Italian, which features plant-based Italian sausage, dairy-free cheese, tomatoes, spinach, and marinara sauce. However, it’s not fully vegan when ordered as a crepe, since those are made with eggs, milk, and butter.

There are also a few sweet crepes on the menu. The Nutella crepes come with fresh strawberries and bananas topped with rich, chocolaty Nutella, while the Bee’s Knees crepes are filled with homemade lemon cream cheese and topped with blueberry compote.

Crepe and Cup serves French-style crepes using the freshest local ingredients, and they also serve other internationally inspired breakfast sweets like Belgian waffles, Dutch poffertjes (which are fluffy, pancake-like pastries covered in powdered sugar), and Palestinian kunafa (fried cheese pastry).

You can get crepes, waffles, and poffertjes topped with any combination of this restaurant’s available toppings. Get fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, mango, blueberries, raspberries, or kiwi. Try a crepe with cream cheese, Nutella, caramel sauce, maple syrup, or peanut butter. Make it extra sweet with crumbled Snickers, Twix, Almond Joy, or Butterfingers candy bars.
