Pete's Cafe — 3610 Belt Line

Just west of Marsh.



This place is so far out west in Far West Addison that it's actually in Farmers Branch. Barely. But it's an instution, very popular and should be included here. The booths (there are no tables) are clean and functional but the walls, floor and ceiling are low-rent lake cabin. The cash register is an old NCR model but they do take credit cards. KLUV is the radio station of choice. There are no TVs.

But behold! They do have a web site with menus and prices. Be sure to check out the "specials menu" which includes the Early Bird Special available during the week (Monday-Friday except holidays). Two eggs any style, bacon or sausage, hash browns or grits, and toast or bacon and gravy for just $4.25. Cheap. Smoking to the far right weekdays. No smoking on weekends, when you can expect a wait to be seated.

Closes daily at 2:00 pm.
Opens:
5:00 am Mon-Sat
6:00 am Sun

Google map is here.

  1. I remember eating here after doing a little drinking in Addison Circle. The food was always hot, fast, and correct. Sometimes you had to wait for a seat, but the waitstaff always took care of you. After JoJos changed to a Dennys, this became my all time favorite!
