About the Business

Specialties

Texas Home Cooking with made from scratch Chicken-Fried Steak and Homemade Biscuits with Cream Gravy. One of a Kind, NOT One of a Chain. We are known for our large portions. All of our Puffy Omelets are made in Omelet Pans and heaped with ingredients. Many chain restaurants cook omelets on grill which make them thin and retain no moisture from eggs. Our menu has over 125 Entrees which gives the diner great variety. The menu is pretty evenly balanced with 60 Entrees for Breakfast and Lunch. Our experienced servers use a Teamwork approach to handle the crowds because we seat 280. Many of our friendly staff have been working 15+ years for us. Server will take your order tableside with PDA. Quickly the food comes up in the serving window , the first available person brings it out. We have drink persons who take your order and keep you refilled. Server will check back with you to make sure you are completely satisfied. Our managers and owner are available to visit with you.

History

Established in 1973.

Established in 1973 Poor Richard's Cafe has been an institution in Plano for many years. In its early days it was known as Park Mall Restaurant. Back in the 70's and 80's Plano expanded rapidly. Building trades people and locals frequented the tiny café. Completely remodeled in 2000, we went from 160 seats to 280. In the last 3 years, we freshened the looks with new carpeting and updated look. For many years we were almost a man's restaurant because of our large portions. Today we appeal to families, children and women because of our value, good food and friendliness. The menu has grown from the original 60 items to 125 entrees. Many of the customers have been coming in for 30 years. Today we have 2nd generation kids coming in with their children. And they still LOVE us.

Business Owner

I have been at Poor Richards for 27 years starting at the bottom as a drink girl working my way up to operations manager and now to owner.  I hold true to that when you love what you do, it’s not work!  I am excited to carry on the tradition we have worked so hard to build. I believe that delicious food and great service help build relationships that last through generations.
