Took an hour and a half to get a table and eat. Too much hype, was totally disappointed, nothing to brag about, sorry. Everything was bland and have had far better breakfast. Once was enough... read more

It was a very wonderful breakfast. Def more than enough food. I had the hungry tiger and it was great and my boyfriend has a number 7. Our waitress was good and super sweet her name was Aline. She didn't bother us while talking or eating but would come by and check to see if still had drinks and what knot. Nothing worse than a waitress coming asking questions while your mouth is full. read more

I was so surprised to find a place with such quality and variety! Veggie friendly, I will often return.

Great breakfast. I had the potato black bean dish, it was very good, enough to fill you up. That and a cup of coffee for $8, not a bad deal. The people that work there are very nice and it appeared the owners were there making sure everything was running smoothly (kind of a nice small town atmosphere). read more

Loved this place. I had an omelet, cheese grits, and a biscuit. I've been craving some good grits and a buttermilk biscuit for months and boy did this place deliver. It was definitely worth the 45 minute wait. I tasted my boyfriends home fries and they were really good. I also tasted him omelet which was some sort of pesto concoction. Never knew pesto worked in an omelet but OMG it was good. Would definitely go back here when I'm in town again. But get there early before the crowd arrives. read more

What a let down. After hearing the hype on this place for years, I decided to try it while I'm on vacation. It was ok at best. I judge a breakfast place by how they do the staples, and I was unimpressed. The eggs were decent. The bacon was burnt. The pancakes were mealy and had very little flavor. Worst of all, my meal was served barely above room temperature. I also asked for a biscuit and never got it. Add the ridiculous prices, and this is a place I won't be returning. read more

Brother Juniper's is the best breakfast restaurant in the city. The San Diegan is elite. Top notch service. I can't say enough good about this down home, family owned restaurant. read more

I call this place best breakfast in U.S. I'm always there when in Memphis . Be ware of the wait this place tend to get busy!

I have been eating at Brother Junipers for over 9 years. It is my favorite breakfast place ever. You can't go wrong with anything here. I LOVE the breakfast gyro. Their lamb meat is phenomenal. Best biscuits anywhere especially with their homemade preserves. read more

Great food; personable servers. It really deserves that fifth star because of the delicious food and the warm "homey" feel of the place. However, the wait can be quite daunting. If you arrive slightly before they open, you may avoid that awful wait and have an experience most worthy of that fifth star! read more

If we could do 3 1/2 I would. We both enjoyed it, but weren't wowed. We decided it must be a local thing. It was fun. Food was good. We had the cheese grits & home fries (and other items). We enjoyed both, but weren't over the top impressed. I enjoyed the atmosphere (with the mixmatched coffee mugs!), but my husband found it claustrophobic. The waiting area has cool local art. read more

Had the "hungry tiger" it was awesome. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Potatoes....one word to describe it is filling.

Arguably the best breakfast in town! The Omelets are spectacular and the service is even better! If I ever have friends come in from out of town, brother junipers is one of the first places I will take them! read more

They weren't kidding when they say best breakfast in Memphis! The EggsBenedict is the best I've ever had! As a nice twist it is topped with thin chunks of ham instead of a full slice which made it even better. My husband got the San Diegan open faced omelet and I have to say was Amazing!! Paired with the perfectly cooked home fries and perfect cheese grits I can say without a doubt this IS the best breakfast I have ever had in all my years! The staff is equally amazing and friendly,so if you are in the area you would be a fool to miss this diamond in the rough! read more

My favorite breakfast place in Memphis. Seriously, anything on the menu is SO good! I absolutely LOVE their biscuit and home fries....They marinated their home fries overnight and has the right type of seasoning...can't beat that. The food is local and fresh! If I could....I would eat here every day. I also LOVE the family that owns this place. They are just a sweet family to wants to serve the public. They are all usually there, serving, checking out, hosting, etc. Again, I love this place! My go to breakfast spot! read more

What a wonderful day to start out with an amazing breakfast! And the wait was about 15 minutes but the food was well worth it. The special of the day was cheesy grits pancakes with an egg bacon and sausage and nothing but delicious! read more

The food is really very good. The only problem is the service and the wait. I always feel like I have to "go get it myself" when it comes to coffee/refills and condiments. It's like I am finished with my meal by the time they refill my coffee ONCE. It's just not worth it to me...a little over priced for breakfast food. read more

The breakfast was delicious. I got the scramble with pesto and the pesto was great. I loved the potatoes. The biscuit was fluffy. All around a great meal. read more

This place is always busy but the food and service are great! They have a system now where they'll text you when a table is ready so you can go hang out outside, which is great. I always end up parking in the lot around back, which I can never tell if it's meant for Brother Juniper's customers or people going to the laundromat next door, but I've never gotten in trouble! The home fries are great and the omelets are huge- they're all 3 eggs so make sure to go on an empty stomach! read more

Drool. Super good. I can't give five stars because the only things that came out hot were the grits and the coffee. Everything else was luke warm. Also, the waitress kinda seemed like she hated her life. It was pretty close to closing when we were seated so maybe both were a fluke. I can't lie though, I'm going to have dreams about those cheesy grits. I had the open face sandiegan and it was fantastic. The flavors go so well together. Bacon and feta are great friends. Overall really good food and if it was hot it would have been GREAT food :) read more

After dropping my son off at the University of Memphis I decided to have breakfast at Brother Junipers. I had read a review and heard it was good. It is definitely a tourist trap. Overpriced, food that is mediocre and a hostess and cashier that need to go to school to learn about customer relations. Upon entering I told the hostess a table for one. She asked it I would like to sit at the counter. I said no since I like a chair with a back. She was not friendly. She didn't say welcome to Brother Junipers or anything. Just...I'll let you know when one is available. It seemed to perturb her. Never the less I waited until a table was available. This took about ten minutes. After being seated I was greeted by a server who was extremely friendly in sharp contrast to the hostess. I ordered two eggs, sausage, biscuit, cheese grits, cottage fries and coffee. The food was okay. Not great not bad...just okay. When I received my check the total was $14.58. Whew! kind of pricey for breakfast. I thanked the server and proceeded to the cashier. A woman was in line in front of me who was talking to the cashier. The cashier seemed oblivious to the fact that I was standing in line. I waited and waited until finally the woman left. I handed him my check. An older gentleman in his late fifties or early sixties took my check. He never acknowledged me. He did not say hello, did I enjoy my meal...nothing. There was no conversation. Just handed me my change and stood there in silence. It was very awkward. Even at a fast food place they usually say thank you whether they mean it or not. This man said nothing. The worst customer service I have experienced in a long time. This is a tourist trap. Stay clear of this place. Don't be fooled by the reviews. I can't believe people go to this place and pay such ridiculous prices and be treated so poorly. I will never in my lifetime go back there. Poor customer service when your arrive and leave. (the server however was extremely nice) read more

Here's my 2 cents. I read many of the previous reviews and convinced my husband this was the place to go for breakfast before we left Memphis. We arrived around 1030 on a Saturday morning with full expectations of waiting around 45 mins for a table. We were seated after only 20 mins. Yay! Our waiter never introduced himself (so I have no idea who he is) he said good morning to us and asked if we wanted something other than water to drink. When he brought our drinks, we ordered. Somebody else brought our food and our waiter never visited our table again. We had to flag down another waitress to get more water and a box after we finished our meals and sat with dirty plates for 5-10 mins. We contemplated just leaving since we didn't figure our waiter would notice anyway. (Not really but maybe really). My husband got up to go to the bathroom and low and behold our waiter rushed over to the table. I paid him on the spot and he didn't say a word to me. HORRIBLE SERVICE. The food wasn't anything spectacular either. Sadly we are extremely disappointed with this place and will never return. We also will never recommend it to anybody ever. read more

Breakfast at its finest. Great flavors and all the classics on deck ready to go. Definitely get something with a biscuit, you won't be mad!

Went there for a to go breakfast for first time. Apparently salt is the main ingredient in meat, eggs, and baking soda runs rampant in biscuits. I know this is a standard favorite place among so many of my friends and this is my first time in but I love some good home cooked sausage and biscuits and these biscuits were hard as hubcaps and the sausage may have had flavor but it was super salty and I couldn't get past that and the bits of bone I kept having to spit out. The eggs had been beaten beyond their lifetime and were so sad it made me sad for them. Sorry. Can't say I'll be back. read more

Good food in a busy atmosphere. Home fries were the bomb but the monte Cristo wasn't what I expected. Cheese grits were good but wouldn't warrant a return visit. A definite recommendation and I would revisit but would order differently read more

The food is amazing and there are lots of choices that it was hard to choose. It's a little high for breakfast and it's a total hipster joint. Service was great!! The only bad thing was that it seemed very dirty. The floors looked like they haven't been mopped in a year. Yuck. read more

Outstanding! The variety of meals of taste sensation make this place a must do on your list. Great coffee, food, atmosphere and I would go there each and every day for the home fries. Expect a line but it moves fast and you can have drinks while you wait. read more

This place was good. The service was on point and our food didn't take long at all. I will be returning .

Visiting in town and wanted a great Sunday breakfast. Was not disappointed. Line was 30-45 minutes shortly after opening at 8. Plan accordingly. Hint: ask to sit outside if weather allows. No one does and we sat right away. Russ our waiter, and part of the ownership team served us. Great guy and put up with our menu changes on the fly. Had the Juniper Benedict and (must have) cheese grits. Met Jon the main dude and he was just a gracious as everyone else we met. Great food. Great service and the care of the ownership really shows here. Thanks Brother Juniper. We will return. read more

Consistently delicious and friendly. Love this family run business. Don't be in a hurry ;)

I've ate here twice and stood in line for a loooooong time each time. I get that they only have so much space and all of that, but their food just isn't good enough to justify the wait time. read more

Honestly I just love this place and you can't go wrong with anything you get! I've gotten a couple different omelettes, all were good. Their biscuit sandwiches are so good and the home fries...I would kill for those! read more

The service was awful and two of us waiting for an hour for the table. Also the white manager at the front, she called my name disrespectfully . I never coming back again. Worst service ever ! read more

Love this place. Good food.good service. friendly people. . Just be prepared to wait for atleast an hour. It is usually crowded. But the food is worth the wait. Love their home fries. Soooo good. The 5 grain toast with butter : yummmmmm. All in all, my favorite breakfast place in Memphis. Hands down! read more

Extremely long wait but well worth it. We stood in line for about 1.5 hours for brunch but the open face omelettes are amazing. You HAVE to try their home fries. Those potatoes are literally to die for. Great, fresh ingredients and awesome customer service. There's a good reason why it's so packed here. read more

I ate breakfast here twice when I was home visiting family. I CANNOT get enough of this place! Its very quaint, and has great southern charm! Everyone that works here is super nice and friendly, Great service! I recommend getting here early! By the time we were done eating (we got there right when it opened) the place was PACKED! My mom order one of the egg dishes, #3 I think.. It was scrambled eggs with pesto, peppers, spinach, tomatoes, and onions. It looks amazing! I got the Garden and Lamb Omelet which had Gyro meat, feta cheese, onions, spinach, and tomatoes! SOO Delicious I would highly recommend Brother J's to anyone looking for a quality breakfast spot in Memphis! Cant wait to eat here again on my next Memphis trip! read more

My Fireman omelet was served promptly and tasted great! The service was top notch though it did seem odd when the male server produced cups of creamer from the center pouch of his apron. ;) read more

Brother Juniper's - Fireman open face omlet with chorizo, jalapeños, avocado spread and chipotle hot sauce. Cheesy grits and a biscuit. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

See all

This is one the worst experiences I've had on yelp so far. Four cold, hard biscuits that I returned for 2 okay cinnamon rolls, which were not comparable to Cinnabon. The bacon was of quality and the grits consistency was good but they put too much garlic in the. ATL's Joys Cafe is my tool of measurement of what a good breakfast spot suppose to be so I could be a little critical... read more

This was my first time at Brother Juniper's and I loved it. There was a wait but they got us in quickly and we were able to get some awesome lattes while we waited. The food was great I loved the potato plate with gyro meat and I will come back for it next time. Our server Sam was quick and very friendly. Great Breakfast place! read more

I'm from Texas (Austin), and chose this place solely based on the high reviews. I got the vegetarian omelet with a side of potatoes, and I was not impressed at all. My wife got the Denver, with a side of grits, and she didn't think it was anything special either. The best part of the meal was the biscuit and jelly. I should have tried one of the open face omelets, as they looked like they have more flavorful foods on them. read more
