Magnolia Pancake Haus on Embassy Oaks in San Antonio has been building a reputation as one of the city’s essential breakfast destinations since it opened, serving the kind of creative, generously portioned pancake and breakfast plates that earn a San Antonio community its go-to morning restaurant. It appeared in Season 12, Episode 11 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner,” which aired October 31, 2011. Guy Fieri found a San Antonio breakfast kitchen doing things from scratch with the creative energy that makes a pancake house into a destination — Dutch babies, flavored pancake batters, and the kind of morning food that makes people set an alarm to beat the line.

What to Eat
The Dutch Baby — a baked German pancake that arrives puffed and golden, deflating dramatically at the table before being finished with lemon, powdered sugar, and fruit — is the showpiece order that most first-timers are steered toward and return for specifically. The Banana Foster Pancakes with caramelized banana and rum sauce are the over-the-top sweet option that earns its own devoted following. The Breakfast Tacos reflect the San Antonio morning tradition alongside the pancake menu. The Eggs Benedict Variations rotate with creative builds that go well beyond the standard hollandaise and Canadian bacon. Find a San Antonio hotel on Travelocity.
