I've known for years that Waterloo Ice House made an excellent Burger, but I've recently had a hankerin' for pancakes. Now let me explain.
1- I like butter on my pancakes.
2- I won't consume corn syrup and most all maple flavored syrups have a corn syrup base.
3- Most restaurants serve butter and corn syrup.
4- As a result I bring my own butter and real maple syrup when I go out for pancakes.

I've tried McDonald's for pancakes. Tasty but small and only 3 for $1.89+tax.
For years I've visited the Omelettry, Burnet and W 49th St where there offer only margarine and maple flavored corn syrup. Thus the habit of taking my own butter and RMS was born. Monday morning I was in North Austin and chanced to stop at Waterloo @ Burnet and Steck for some breakfast.
Now most recently I've been eating the gingerbread pancakes at the Omelettry but finding them dry and bitter. I had planned on having one of Waterloo's wonderful overstuffed breakfast taco's (choice of 3 ingredients for $2.25, one is usually plenty {You'll need a fork or spoon for the overflow}), but noticing cinnamon pecan pancakes on the menu I chanced to ask if they served butter, "No, margarine" and if they served real or fake syrup, "Ohh, real maple syrup". So I said, "A short stack of Cinnamon Pecan Pancakes (2 huge pancakes/$4.95--$5.85 for 3), hold the trans-fats and Two eggs poached easy."
Well, even without the flavor of the traditional saturated fats in real butter these pancakes were to kill for. Simply the best pancakes I have had in like forever. Yes they are that good.
Then this morning I was downtown and went to the 6th and Lamar location and discovered that they have individual servings of whipped Land-o-Lakes butter available which completed the experience to perfection.
So to sum up a long story I've found the perfect breakfast restaurant, so when in Austin, Texas do a cinnamon pancake breakfast at the Waterloo @ 6th and Lamar. You won't be sorry.
