ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. When traveling to visit family in TX, we ALWAYS have to stop in here atleast once. Maybe even 2-3 times. The staff is wonderful. The place is always clean. The food is delicious and very plentiful. Love their homemade biscuits.
If you’re looking for a fantastic breakfast spot, I highly recommend Poor Richards! This place combines cozy ambiance with an impressive variety of breakfast options. Their pancakes are fluffy and perfectly golden, while the Vegetarian Omelet is generously filled and fresh. The coffee is rich, smooth, and always served piping hot. Service is attentive without being overwhelming, and the staff is genuinely friendly. Whether you’re into traditional breakfast or looking for some creative twists, they have something that’s sure to start your day off right.
We love Poor Richard's Cafe. My husband has eaten here several times, so this time. I decided to go because he bragged on it so much!!! And so when we got there, and it was awesome !!!! We had a great host who seated us, a beautiful and friendly waitress who gave us awesome service and was very attentive. We received the most delicious food within about 10-15 minutes. Everything was beautifully eye desirable 😋 The place is beautifully decorated with American style decor and a place where veterans can feel right at home. My husband is a vet, so it felt very special to us.On our way out, to pay, we meet another friendly and kind cashier!!!! Thank you, Poor Richard, for a great meal and a comfortable place to feel at home!!!! Mardianne and Barry
Oh my gosh. This is the best breakfast brunch place in Dallas! Every time I come here to visit my sister from California I stop here for breakfast. You cannot come to Dallas/Plano and not eat here. Best service, best food. Best coffee. Long lines waiting but it’s definitely worth it.
OMG. What a find! The Texas family-restaurant tradition is alive and well here in Plano. The staff are some of the best I've seen anywhere. Most have been with the restaurant for a long time. They offer traditional country breakfast and lunch, and they know how to prepare it. You just tell'em what you want and how you want it and you'll get it. Really great coffee, too.
This is my favorite breakfast place. The prices are better than everywhere else. The menu is big. The food is delicious. We get here at about 10 on Sunday and there's plenty of seating before it starts filling up. It's usually packed by the time we leave. It's a real mix of people here but we all like the same thing: good food at a good price.
By far the MOST delicious country gravy I have ever had, most of the time country gravy tastes like bland thick watery flour. This was the right amount of thickness and flavorful. The country fried steak was crispy and NOT greasy, as were the crispy home fries. Also for a place with carpet interior, this place was CLEAN. And that’s coming from someone with asthma who is sensitive to any dust. Definitely coming back.
This is a great place to eat. My parents and I go here occasionally and I've never had a bad plate of food. Customer service is top-notch and will return again. Some Saturdays can be extremely busy, so prepare for a line at the door. However it's worth the wait.
Great dine in for breakfast, or lunch. The customer service is impeccable. The waitresses are timely and respectful. The food was good, cooked just right. Overall a unique atmosphere for friends to meet or families. A clean and pleasurable experience.
I got the Pecan Waffle breakfast with eggs over easy, sausage patties, home fries, and my friend got a veggie omelette It was SUPER busy due to it being a holiday but we didn't have to wait for our booth, and only had to wait a few minutes to get our waters and my coffee Their coffee is very decent coffee, nothing mind blowing and very normal tasting which is perfect for a diner coffee 💖 it's BLAZING hot so be careful!! I had to keep adding ice cubes from my water to my coffee but I'm not complaining, hot coffee is awesome! My eggs over easy were cooked perfectly Potatoes were decent normal fried potatoes Sausage patties were good The Pecan Waffle was DELIGHTFUL. very yummy and crispy and the inside was light and tender. I appreciate that the food is a tiny bit undersalted but has good flavor, I just had to add a bit of table salt and it was perfect. I think this is a very positive thing, its objectively healthier for people to be able to add their own salt at the table and not have to specifically ask for a low salt meal. The diner is 53 years and running so expect a very cozy classic American diner environment with seasonal decor. The tables and chairs have a gorgeous worn down appearance but everything is very clean and well loved. Most of the other diners were elderly couples, or very large multi family groups which I assumed were holiday visitors. I felt a bit out of place being one of the youngest couples in there, but the wait staff were very friendly and attentive 💖💖 The dining area is MASSIVE, there is plenty of booth and table seating, and there is enough space for groups of 12+ people to push tables together and eat together 💖 The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes, not inexpensive but not overpriced at all. If y'all are looking for a very comfy and normal American Diner experience this is absolutely it. I so appreciate that they aren't trying to do anything touristy or over the top, it's just really good American Diner food and
