Food was very good, but the service from Roberta was world class! Friendly, funny and extremely helpful with suggestions for our Trip .

My friend and I came here on a Tuesday morning, no wait. The service was quick, friendly and knowledgeable. It was pretty large here and they sold shirts as well. I did not get a t-shirt but they were pretty cute! 10 out of 10 for fresh squeezed orange juice... so delicious! We ordered the 'Candied Bacon' for our appetizer which was so flavorful and delicious. For our entrees, my friend tried the 'Carrot Cake pancakes' which were a big portion and I tried some. They tasted exactly like carrot cake. They were so moist and fluffy. I ordered the 'Country Fried Steak and Eggs' which also came with pancakes. This was also a big portion, but it was so delicious. The prices were fairly affordable. It was definitely higher prices than an Ihop but also better quality. I 100% would come back and recommend this place. read more

Another "must go" place in Nashville when you research places to eat. We arrived around 11:30 am and waited in line for about 15 minutes before being seated outside on the patio area. The service started out great, but our server disappeared after our food was delivered. She dropped off the check, and a while I went inside to pay and the person at the front counter was VERY put out to run my card. Pancakes were really good -- the sweet potato one was the favorite, followed by the cinnamon roll, and last the banana bread. The hash browns with the added veggies and cheese were delicious!! And the candied bacon was good, although a little expensive for what you get IMO. The cocktail I ordered was fantastic -- light and refreshing. read more

Heard absolutely great things from so many people so I had to make the trip. I went on a Sunday morning at 8am and had no issue getting a table albeit the line when I left was CRAZY. I got the sampler and tried the cinnamon roll, banana bread, and pigs in a blanket pancakes. The best was the cinnamon roll by a mile. The banana bread didn't taste like banana and the pigs in a blanket had one measly sausage link. What redeems the score overall was the incredible service and the cinnamon syrup. The latter which is worth a visit alone. Would definitely come back. read more

Best blueberry pancakes I've had--made with fresh blueberries and blueberry sauce. Soft, fluffy, not doughy. Loved the fresh-squeezed OJ. Ham and scrambled eggs plate was good too. Large dining room and helpful staff. No wait when I went during the week, but there's definitely a wait for Sunday brunch. read more

Food First time trying the original Pancake Pantry and I can say I see why I've heard so many great things. We tried an omelet; buttermilk pancakes, Caribbean pancake, and sweet potato pancake and all were exceptional in their individual ways. The star of the show was easily the original buttermilk pancakes, though. Just the right amount of sweetness with fluffiness and paired well with the warm maple syrup. We liked the Caribbean pancake but it didn't need the banana. The combo of pecans and coconut added excellent flavor with crunch. The sweet potato was the least favorite but it wasn't bad. Service Excellent service! Showed up at about 830am and there was no line and we were seated immediately. When we left, there was a line out the door and it was starting to get hot outside. Highly recommend getting there early because I would not stand in a line for some pancakes. Ambiance Pretty loud inside, so if not your thing may want to skip this one. Also, there were kids running around getting in the servers' way but that's more a parent thing than on the restaurant. Plenty of paid parking behind the building and on the street. Would I go back? Yes, as long as I don't have to stand in line read more

I don't understand how this place has 4.5 stars. We ordered through Postmates and the food was disgusting and not as advertised. Breakfast tacos only had egg and greasy, under seasoned pork belly in a flour tortilla (when the heck do tacos have flour tortillas?). Tacos are were supposed to have avocados and crema but only came with a side of salsa and a spoon of mysterious green sauce. Cheese grits... the most deplorable excuse for cheese grits on earth! No season whatsoever. Bland and appalling. My southern ancestors would be so disappointed. Croissant sandwiches were bland and eggs were under seasoned. We asked for mayo and ketchup and received 1 packet of mayo and excessive amounts of mustard (seriously what the heck?!). Pancakes were the only decent item, but they also came with some kind of weird cinnamon sauce that didn't pair with anything. A waste of $112.00. Just avoid this place, like we will. read more

Second Visit to Pancake Pantry before heading home. If it's good, why not get it again? I love the Pancake Meal with Eggs and Bacon add Hash Brown Potatoes. Everything was cooked as requested. The potatoes are fantastic with over easy eggs. I love the crisp texture, just fantastic. The bacon could be more crisp as I got it extra crispy. The pancakes are phenomenal and that cinnamon crack that comes with it makes it next level deliciousness. This is why I came back again. Fluffy Stacks of Heaven. I love when a restaurant is consistent and makes the food the same every time. You know you are getting a great meal. The service is excellent and we got it to go. I would definitely return and recommend this location. I grabbed a bag of pancake mix to take home for fun and deliciousness later. read more

The banana bread pancakes were very delicious. The actual pancake batter has some fresh banana and it is topped with some pecans. It wasn't too sweet at all. It was warm fluffy and soft. I really enjoyed the distinct flavors that came together to create the banana bread flavor. I am excited to try their other specialty flavor pancakes. Parking may be difficult. There's a paid lot right out back behind the restaurant. You could find free parking more along the streets near the houses surrounding the restaurant. read more

One of our must go to places when visiting Nashville. Great service and the prices are below Nashville standards. We always have great food and service here. Rule of thumb when going to eat here, Get there before 8:30 or you will be waiting in a line out side. So if you write a bad review because you got up late that's on you. Anyone who has ate here will know the truth. read more

Okay Nashville locals always say that the pancake pantry is overrated however I disagree! Yes, the line is annoying but it does move fast or if you get up early enough you can beat the crowd. I tried their espresso pancakes this time and I was blown away. FABULOUS. Service is always kind and the restaurant is always packed. Wish they had more specialty coffees and latte like drinks but still very affordable and very good breakfast food. read more

Huge fan of the Pancake Pantry! In all honestly, I would have thought their reviews would have been a bit better. They had tons of fun pancake options, as well as a number of other breakfast type items. Of the ones I tried, I actually liked the Cornmeal the most, since it was something different. Overall, the vibes and service were great! It's a pretty big space, but it's apparently always quite busy. Come early to get a spot! read more

After walking 2.7 miles in a brisk 30 degrees I was ready to have a break and eat . As I came up to The Pancake Pantry I seen there was no line out the door and around the corner . I have been wanting to try it since eyeing it on previous trips to Nashville . Ended up with Nicholas as my waiter , I grilled him on what he liked the most . Finally decided to get blueberry and apple pancakes . The compote on both is homemade not that out of the can stuff you get and most places . The blueberry compote has a balanced flavor and just the right amount of sweet . Apple compote is a little sweeter and the apples have a slight crunch not over cooked at all . Grits are finer ground than normal in which gives them a slightly different flavor . The flavor of the grits is great and the smoothness just makes them . Coffee is just meh plain old coffee . Service is amazing everyone was so friendly and Nicholas was so nice and very attentive . He always was stopping by to make sure everything was good and to check my coffee for a refill . Top notch server . read more

Wow! This place exceeded my expectations. Yes, you have to deal with a line to get in, but it does move ok. Once inside, it isn't much to look at. Very diner-esque. BUT, the food was amazing! I had a "flight" of 3 pancakes and each was awesome. I thought in particular the cinnamon roll pancake was phenomenal. They give you both warm maple syrup and what was an even better accompaniment, a cinnamon maple syrup. It was epic! We also got a side of hash browns which were fantastic. Super crispy outside and soft, pillowy inside. The only thing that was just ok was the side of bacon. Not very crisp and pretty fatty. Overall, if you are a pancake fan and in the Nashville area, you will be quite a happy camper if you come for a pancake meal. read more

I don't think much needs to be said about the Pancake Pantry--it's simply a place you have to eat when you're in Nashville, bar none. If you can get up early, you can usually beat the rush, and it's absolutely worth it. On our recent trip to Nashville during the first week of November, 2025 we ate breakfast here 5 out of 7 days. It helped that it was just a quick walk from our VRBO, but more importantly, it's the best breakfast I've ever had. The pancakes are unbelievably good, the Grill Cook's Medley is a flavor bomb, and the breakfast tacos were rich, filling, and delicious. We will always eat at Pancake Pantry when we're in Nashville. I have been eating here since 1989...It's a non-negotiable stop on any trip to Nashville Vegas! read more

The wait is always worth it! Do not let the line deter you. My hubby and I came here for Valentine's Day with the line wrapped around the building. We waited for maybe 45 minutes or so before being seated. Our waiter was kind, efficient and attentive. I ordered the medley omelette (no ham), with a cinnamon roll pancake. My hubby ordered the red velvet pancakes with turkey sausage. When I tell you it was SO GOOD! 10/10. Did I mention they serve freshly squeezed orange juice? Just make sure you specify size, otherwise you'll be paying $11 per glass! It's a bit loud because of how packed it is but it's cozy and the food makes up for it. read more

Visited Nashville for the weekend and decided to stop in for brunch at this spot. It was a rainy Saturday, and I really appreciated that the restaurant offered umbrellas as a courtesy for guests waiting in line ..such a thoughtful touch! Our wait was about 30 minutes, which wasn't too bad for a busy weekend. Once seated, our waitress was amazing (I wish I remembered her name), and she made our experience even better. Drinks: *Orange Juice & Cranberry Juice Mix - Refreshing and simple. A nice way to start the meal. (4/5) Food We Shared: *Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes - A rich but balanced combo; the peanut butter and chocolate paired perfectly (4/5) *Ham & Egg Croissant (subbed with bacon) - The croissant was buttery, flaky, and paired well with the eggs and bacon. Very satisfying. (4/5) *Hash Browns - More like a hash brown casserole in texture, but unfortunately bland. This was the weakest dish for me. (2/5) *Candied Bacon - Tough and chewy, almost jerky-like. I didn't enjoy this one at all. (1/5) Overall: The hospitality stood out the most -- warm, welcoming, and attentive service from start to finish. While not every dish was a hit, the menu offered plenty of variety, and the highlights were worth the visit. The atmosphere and service made the wait worthwhile, and I'd recommend checking it out if you're in Nashville and looking for a fun brunch spot. read more

The food is good. The service was lacking. Our waitress Jay P was terrible.

The Pancake Pantry - Sausage & Eggs (original buttermilk pancakes, turkey sausage, hashbrowns) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I understand why this place is a staple in Nashville, it's delicious. When you get there, you will see a line outside, but don't be discouraged, it goes by fast. There is parking in the back, so that's also a plus. I had their Eggs and bacon which comes with two buttermilk pancakes and it was really good. The pancakes were especially delicious, including their syrup. They don't have dairy alternative so I had to have orange juice. It was a lot so I had to take some to go. The only thing I didn't like were their hash browns, which I ordered as a side dish. Didn't really have a lot of flavor. Service was really good. Even though the restaurant was filled, our food came out fast. Our server was also really nice. read more

Had to check out the Pancake Pantry on our last trip to Nashville. I ordered the Sampler of Pancakes (when in Rome!) and selected the sweet potato, banana bread, and apple walnut. While each was delicious, my favorite was the sweet potato. My husband ordered the breakfast tacos (not sure why when pancakes are in the name), but said they were tasty - a bit spicy with the chorizo. We each ordered a side of sausage - links for me, and patties for him - but then shared. Both were very flavorful, but I thought the links were a bit more to my liking. Service was great - our waitress didn't write anything down, but got everything right and was super attentive. Restaurant and restrooms were extremely clean. We did arrive early, as I've heard that there is often a line down the street, and only had to wait a few minutes for a table. read more

Have never been here and live so close! Glad we went today for a friend's birthday. Our waitress was so cute and she gave my friend a candle on some whipped cream for her bday :) The medley was very yummy no notes. Pancakes made my tummy hurt but that's probably a me problem. They were yummy I ate too much. We waited in line for quite some time maybeee 20 minutes outside so make sure you go w/good weather. That is why I gave 4/5 stars. We went at around 11am on a Sunday. Very chill, can dress up or dress down! read more

We are in town for vacation and will an early arrival time we were looking for a good breakfast place and loved the area so we decided to stop into The Pancake Pantry and so glad we did. I had the French Toast with their homemade blueberry compote and it was delicious! No syrup needed!! The batter they use for the bread had the perfect cinnamon and brown flavor. The bacon was also delicious; I like mine a bit more crispy, so I will request that next time because we will return! My husband had the biscuits and gravy with egg and sausage and he said the bread was so fresh! If you find yourself in this area it's a place to visit. The street also had a bunch of cute shops but due to the time of day they were closed. read more

First let me start off by saying the pancakes were incredible. The potatoes were just mediocre. I was really looking forward to them too because you could get peppers and onions. And they were generous on the peppers and onions. They were just bland. We added salt and pepper and it still really didn't make must of a difference. We also got the omelet with added pepper and peppers and onions. I didn't realize you couldn't see the omelet in the photo I took. But for the price it was definitely lacking. We went on a Monday and the service was just okay. The waitress asked to take my order and when I looked up after I placed my order I realized she wasn't even paying attention to me and then kind of got snippy when she asked to repeat which meal I wanted: they pancakes came and there was no syrup. We asked for the syrup and it took about 5 minutes before someone brought it to us. And we all know pancakes don't stay warm for long! I don't know that we would go again. Maybe we would spend that $74 elsewhere. But we were excited to get to try the place! read more

This place is a must go for a reason. It was my first time, but I was with people who go every time they are in Nashville. We only had to wait a few minutes on a Saturday morning around 8 am, the line was much longer when we were leaving. I had a pancake meal which came with turkey sausage and eggs. These were nothing to write home about. The pancakes were obviously the star of the show. I had one buttermilk pancake which was the perfect backdrop for the cinnamon cream syrup. I don't really like syrup, but this stuff was incredible. I also had a buckwheat pancake that was the perfect balance of sweetness. Everyone loved everything they ordered, I don't think you can go wrong with anything! read more

I'm not one for giving negative reviews, especially if I haven't spoken with a manager, but in this case for a restaurant that usually has a line wrapped around the outside of the building, I felt this was worth putting out there. For all the hype, we thought the food was Meh, at best. The biscuits and gravy were very bland, and tasted like flour. The home fries were diced potatoes with little seasoning. The poached eggs were clearly done in a poacher and had a very rubbery texture due to cooking that way. We all shared the pancake trio and they were good, not amazing as I would have expected. The day before we had a FAR better breakfast at Rubys across the street. Nothing was bad, just not good. read more
