Where Can I Get the Best Pancakes in San Antonio?
We're known for biscuits, but don't sleep on our hotcakes. At Alamo Biscuit Co. & Panadería, our pancakes get the same scratch-made treatment as everything else on the menu: fluffy, golden and loaded with toppings you won't find at a chain. Whether you want a simple stack with butter or a plate piled with fruit and cream cheese whip, there's a hotcake here with your name on it.
Visiting downtown? Our River Walk location serves pancakes 24 hours a day, so breakfast at midnight is always on the table.
Are Hotcakes and Pancakes the Same Thing?
Yes. Hotcakes, pancakes, griddle cakes and flapjacks all describe the same thing: a round, fluffy cake cooked on a hot griddle. Here in Texas you'll hear "hotcakes" a lot, which is why our Chicken & Hotcakes plate goes by that name. Call them whatever you like; we'll bring you a stack.

Do You Have Gluten-Friendly Pancakes?
Yes. Any of our pancake or waffle plates can be made gluten friendly. Just ask your server when you order. If you have celiac disease or a severe allergy, let us know so our team can walk you through your options.
Can I Get Waffles or French Toast Instead?
Absolutely. Every pancake plate can be swapped for a waffle, and our French toast menu is just as hard to resist:
- Biscuit French Toast ($15): a deep-fried baby biscuit coated in cinnamon sugar, topped with strawberries, candied pecans, cream cheese whip and powdered sugar, served with two eggs. Only at a biscuit house.
- Classic French Toast ($18): two slices with cream cheese whip, cinnamon and powdered sugar, served with bacon, potato hash and two eggs.
