My favorite place in Memphis! This is the place I will make the drive for to introduce friends who have not tried it or those who have never been to Memphis. It has a warm inviting feel to it even though not fancy. They have a large selection of delicious omelets and scrambled egg breakfasts. They have pancakes and waffles but the thing I love the most is the cheese grits. They are so good. They have something for every taste even Vegan. The service is top notch It's a little pricey but the food is quality and well worth it. I can't wait to make my way there again. read more

We left this place because they literally had every Black patron seated in a back room while every white patron was seated in their front dining area. Refuse to be a part of segregated service! They should be shut down for this, don't care how good the food may be it's 2023!! I would never recommend this place. read more

Brother Juniper's - Front of the restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Definitely the best breakfast in Memphis. Home fries are TOP NOTCH. Service is down-home feeling and it's your typical breakfast house ambiance. There will likely be a wait, but use their waitlist option on their website so you're not waiting as long once you arrive! read more

I went to Brother Juniper's while visiting a friend in Memphis. We decided to go Sunday morning before I left town and got on the Yelp waitlist as we were leaving the house. When we arrived, we checked in with the hostess and waited about 10-15 for a table to be ready. After we were seated, we were greeted by our server about 5 minutes later. We got waters and my friend ordered a coffee. We then proceeded to order our food - I went for the San Diegan (open-faced omelet) with loaded grits and my friend got the Hungry Tiger with loaded grits. He wound up getting his Hungry Tiger cooked as a traditional omelet rather than open-faced. Our food arrived shortly and everything was reallyyyyy good! I can see why this place is rated as Best Breakfast in Memphis! The loaded grits were unique, but delicious. I'd never seen grits come with cheese, sour cream, bacon, and green onions, but I fell in love lol. My omelet was also good. I'm not a big egg person, so I liked the open-faced version because it's more toppings and less egg. Overall, we enjoyed Brother Juniper's! Next time I'm in Memphis, I definitely wouldn't mind coming back here! read more

Always great service and food! A staple breakfast/brunch location for us for years now.

Trust the reviews! This place is so good . . Even when getting the food to go! I found this place on Yelp before coming to town & also got the recommendation from a local. Super busy & rightfully so. The hollandaise sauce was the best I've ever tasted . . The home fries were soft but not mushy & well seasoned . . The bacon was cooked perfectly . . And the cinnamon roll pancakes were a 12/10 before the syrup. Those pancakes are heavenly and this is coming from someone who doesn't typically like pancakes. Don't waste your time trying anywhere else . . Just come here! read more

Loved this spot for brunch! Quick and friendly service, nice atmosphere, great food! I had the monte cristi and we had the cinnamon roll pancakes to share, my husband got the San diet and and our daughter go the French toast. Everything was awesome. I also got the juniper latte which was delicious! Perfectly sweet to add sugar rush to your caffeine rush after breaking your fast on a weekend. They were very covid conscious unlike many other places in Tennessee! read more

Our favorite of the breakfast/brunch places we tried in Memphis. Three of the four of us ordered the San Diegan omelet with cheese grits and biscuit while my 17yr old son ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes. Everything was amazing. My 21yr old daughter even commented about the quality of the ingredients that are used on the open face omelet. Everything was amazing. I also loved being able to make a reservation from the hotel using the Yelp app so that we didn't have to wait so long once we arrived. We would recommend and we would return. read more

THE. BEST. BREAKFAST!!! the menu has a diverse range of breakfast options. They are all delicious. The service is always spot on. Love it!

I tell you what!!! This place was FANTASTIC! From the young lady at the front greeting us as soon as we walked in, to the server coming over there and greeting us. This is a family atmosphere all the way down, which showed. The food, it was excellent. Me and my son enjoyed everything. He even said the customer service was great!!! I can't wait to bring the rest of my family here next time we come back and visit Memphis!! Top Notch all around! read more

We went on a Tuesday morning and were seated right away. The service wasn't necessarily slow, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in a rush. We got the pacific northwest omelette, the gravy benedict, a raspberry mocha, and unsweetened tea, and it was all delicious. The only issue was they had cinnamon rolls advertised on a chalkboard that we ordered for a dessert to split, but they brought us cinnamon roll pancakes. We had a few bites of them, and they were good but not what we wanted. The total was $69 after tip. Would definitely go back if in Memphis again. read more

The extra 1dollar per egg surcharge is rediculous. These restaurants begged people to support them during COVID, and the restaurants repay their customers by raising prices and adding surcharges. Will no longer support these types of restaurants. read more

My coworkers and I went for breakfast. The hostess greeted us with a smile. There was no wait time which was great! I ordered the loaded grits(absolutely delicious and filling) and a bacon biscuit. The biscuit was like my grandma's homemade biscuit(fluffy and tasty). The atmosphere was hometown welcoming. It was like I was sitting at my grandma's house for breakfast. read more

Don't walk - Run to this restaurant. Holy Cow- Amazing biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were so tender and fluffy and the gravy was perfection. I added chopped sausage to the gravy - but it really didn't need anything more. Do it if you want to be extra. I'm in love and now super spoiled. Interior was exactly what I wanted to see in a Memphis breakfast joint. Nothing fancy about the interior, it was cheery, clean, tons of tables yet it didn't feel clutter phobic and the staff was stellar! read more

The service was terrible. The waitress was rude and not helpful. The food was excellent. Our party enjoyed it but waited a long time for the water, no refills; no one came to check on us even once after the food was delivered. We had to ask for a box. The place is loud, and dining area is slightly congested. The bathroom was small- only one of the two was clean. If you go here, go for the flavorful food. Latte was excellent too! read more

I visited this place for the first time this week. I was excited because I FINALLY had the chance to see what all the fuss/hype was about. We got there around 1220. I was nervous because they were pretty full and they close at 1. We did have to wait a few minutes to be seated, but I'm pretty sure we were seated before/around 1230. The menu overwhelmed me looking at it for the first time because there is so much to choose from. I ended up settling with the no. 7, which is scrambled eggs with steak, green peppers, onions and mozzarella. You have a choice of toast or biscuit and grits or home fries. I got the biscuit and home fries and I also added a pancake. Overall, I was impressed. Our waitress was sweet and took good care of us and the food was very good! Good portion sizes as well. The pancake was fluffy and buttery and pretty much melted in my mouth. The home fries had seasonings on them that made them different than any breakfast potatoes I'd ever eaten. The steak/egg mixture was good as well. I'm actually very excited about visiting again and trying something new! read more

Brother Juniper's - No. 7 and a pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

It's good. This was our second time, but it's been about 10 years. Despite lots of amazing reviews, it clearly didn't leave an impression as we didn't realize we'd been here before driving up to the place. It's breakfast food. Nothing special. read more

If you want a fantastic breakfast you've got to go to Brother Juniper. You can probably expect a wait because it's really popular. The setting is definitely a local vibe with medium noise level in the background. Family friendly for sure! Portion size is not a problem and you will definitely be able to share. I strongly recommend the cinnamon roll pancake. Will definitely be coming back in the future! read more

I was told this place was great so we came here on my last day visiting on Sunday in Memphis. I'll say the food was ok. But I couldn't help but notice everything was kind of hectic and chaotic and that may have been because it was so crowded and busy. But we got like half our food right away and then our pancakes and barista drinks took a while and that was ok but it felt like half our table was waiting for stuff still while some of us were half way done eating. The only thing that really bothered me was the guy cooking had his phone in his hand and was talking on the phone the whole time and he seemed like he was behind and trying to keep up the whole time but really unorganized. And I can't help but wonder if he didn't wash his hands after talking on the phone what other safety practices might they be lacking on. Like I said the food was ok but the experience felt chaotic. I can see a lot of potential if what everyone says is true but I felt like we were there longer than we needed to be just waiting on food albeit, it was pretty busy. read more

My last meal in Memphis! Came here for breakfast with two friends before jetting off to the airport. Brother Juniper's is a local favorite, and even though we got there early on a Saturday, it was already packed! Luckily for us, school hadn't started yet: otherwise the wait would've been even longer. Our server was friendly and quickly brought us menus and big glasses of water. I ordered the Salmon Eggs Benedict with Cheese Grits. I thought the Salmon would be more of a lox variety but it tasted more like salty canned salmon. The eggs were cooked perfectly though, and the biscuit that the benedict came on was delicious! The cheese grits were okay, but I was way too full from the benedict and not persuaded by my first few bites to keep eating (disclaimer: I'm also not a regular grits eater!). Sampled a bite of my friend's potatoes and they were delicious and well-flavored, as were her scrambled eggs. Love the simple, neighborhood vibe of Brother Juniper's and would come back though next time, I think I'll stick to potatoes and something of the non-salmon variety! read more

This was our first time at Brother Juniper's and I can honestly say it will not be our last. The restaurant was following social distancing requirements and was operating at a reduced capacity, and while the service was kind of slow, given the circumstances, they did a great job. There were several large parties the morning we went, but still it was very good. My wife and I both had the open faced omelets which were fantastic! I had the San Diegan and my wife had the Pacific Northwest. They were both out of this world. The kids enjoyed some pancakes and they were the size of a large plate! The only improvement to Brother Juniper's would be mimosas and/or bloody mary's! We can't wait to go back. read more

The service was great, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend the Florentine open face omelet and cheese grits!

The service was outstanding and food impeccable. Coffee was strong and smooth. I had to get 2 bags to go. We ordered the #5, #2, and the cinnamon roll pancake. Everything was fresh, rightly seasoned, great portions, and from scratch. We will definitely be returning. read more

Great food - everything I've ever had here was excellent Great service Expect a wait (even on weekdays) read more

Pancakes were sublime!! And, if you can believe it, the service was event better!! I would return again and again!

The cinnamon pancakes are a must at this spot. They were light and fluffy. The cinnamon cream cheese icing was great and not overly sweet at all. The Momma Lil's Special was good but the smoked salmon on it was perfectly smoked and seasoned. I even liked the cheese grits and I'm not a grits person. This is a great place to visit for brunch if your near the University of Memphis campus. However, the wait is long so you should definitely use the waitlist option on Yelp and get on the list at least 30 minutes before you plan to be there. read more

I loved discovering this little gem...apparently "everyone" knows about this homey, yummy breakfast place except me based on the full-house and line out the door and people outside waiting. No reservations here so plan ahead...dont be starving OR you will be sorry. An interesting twist on Eggs Benedict (juniper's style) - flaky fresh biscuits, chopped grilled ham, fried egg ( ASK for them over easy...the norm is over med with minimal runny yolk)...and yes hollandaise...thank goodness!... We ordered a side of buttermilk pancakes, they offer endless coffee...and John, our server, was attentive and oh so pleasant! Lots of branded "take aways" with Brother Junipers if you are into that? ...ask at the front reception area....There are 3 med sized dining rooms inside and a small patio for semi- outside seating.... Sevice is quick once seated...and the breakfast and coffee were excellent! read more

Brother Juniper's - Open face omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

During my first visit to Memphis, I was in the mood for brunch before I dashed to the airport. Brother Juniper's had some excellent reviews, and I was eager to see if this place would live up to the hype. Overall, I thought my experience was mixed. I visited on a Sunday morning, and there was a moderate wait to get seated. I could tell that this restaurant was a popular destination, and my anticipation for excellent eats began to grow. Once some seating became available, I thought the person guiding me to my seat was cold; in retrospect, her greeting probably contributed to my general sense of the place. While my server was friendly and attentive, sitting at the bar made my experience feel somewhat impersonal. I ordered the #2 breakfast special, which came with two eggs that you could have in any style, home fries, a biscuit, and your choice of meat (I ended up choosing sausage). I thought this was well-made, but I didn't leave feeling impressed by my meal. If I went back, I would try something more adventurous to get a sense of how creative Brother Juniper's can be. read more
