Ye Olde Pancake Station - Amarillo

Wow, whata let down. Drove over here based on reviews. Server was a young man who greeted me with a 'good morning ' at 2pm in the afternoon.. sign of things to come. He took my drink order and disappeared. Salad was dripping with water and soggy... brought my food.. and still no drink.. had to ask for it again... catfish was raw and inedible. I said, -I can 't eat this- and he offered to take it back..but I had lost my appetite. He said manager would come over.. don 't think the manager wanted to face the fish and never saw him... a guy at the front counter shrugged his shoulders at me as I left and said 'sorry '. Now, I can 't help but think... if this is the show out front, what goes on in the kitchen?

First of all I want to say, I love this place… or thought I did. I work in healthcare and my client typically like to eat here, service is great, food is fresh, environment is welcoming. I took a leap this time and went with my fiancé. We are both African American, and my client does not identify as that race. Not that it has much to do with it, however, the environment was harsh. Waiter was not welcoming and wasn’t attentive. I refilled my own water with my finances while he continued to sip on the iced down sprite.Hair was found in my French fries, and my wonderful fish was uncooked. When I had it the first time I really fell in love. Manager did address it promptly and properly that’s the reasoning of a tip and some stars , but the overall experience was unacceptable.

SEE LATEST REVIEW AT END OF THIS REVIEW : Ye Olde Pancake Station is your local old time Cafe. They have a lot of breakfast offerings. I was passing through and wanted to try their version of Bennys . My review is only of the Benedicts, nothing else. The staff was polite and helpful. Terri was my waitress, took good care of me and was a delight. With that in mind, I will let you know that have a top ten list for Eggs Benedicts. After my visit I rated these Bennys as #9 out of 10. #1 being the best and #10 not as good. My rating is based on 3 weights : 70% taste 20% presentation 10% price #1 taste: they use an English muffin that is toasted and Canadian bacon. The eggs were poached perfect easy . I couldn 't find out about the Hollandaise sauce but it was tasty . It comes with hash browns. All of this made the review to 5 stars. #2 presentation : It looked appetizing. #3 price: $9.35 is a good price for Eggs Benedict. Coffee $2.25 a cup. Now with all that said, it is hard to place Ye Olde Pancake Station in my top 10 because of how little a difference there is between all of them. I squeezed them into the #9 spot. When in Amarillo do a breakfast here. No matter what you eat it should be good. NEW REVIEW 06/23/24: Things have changed. Some some good and some not so good. They have done some remodeling, the staff is just as friendly and the coffee refills keep coming. The coffee cups now match and have their logo imprinted on it. The prices have went up but not very much. #1 taste: they use an English muffin that is toasted and a very thick ham not Canadian bacon. The eggs were poached soft . The Hollandaise sauce was glistening like it wasn 't completed correctly. It comes with hash browns but were disheveled (see photo below) . All of this made the review of the food 3 stars. The rest received 5 stars. #2 presentation : It looked disappointing . #3 price: $10.25 is a good price for Eggs Benedict. Coffee $2.50 a cup. I can 't attest to the rest of the taste of the breakfast meals but I do know the sausage gravy is very very peppery. There are a lot of breakfast eating places in Amarillo.

EVERY time I go to Amarillo to visit my son I eat here at least twice. The pancakes are ABSOLUTELY the best in the business! The service and old school atmosphere are unbeatable. PLEASE don’t change a thing! You’re #1 in my tummy and my

Our waitress Dawn was excellent and made the experience, she deserves five stars as well
