Today was my second visit here. Reading other reviews, it's clear to me that some people weren't aware that this is a cook it yourself experience. However, that's what we like about it! It's fun to be able to feel like a hibachi chef cooking up your own food.. could you do it at home? Absolutely, but we like being able to get a group together to go to breakfast and talk while our food is cooking. I order the Joey with French Toast, potatoes, bacon, and eggs plus your choice of 2 toppings for the French toast. The place is quaint and cute, today I did notice that the walls could use a little attention as far as splatter goes. But other than that, the staff was super friendly and we enjoyed our time together. read more

The Pfunky Griddle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Sorry won't be back. Won't be recommending them. Burrito was fine. Hostess was friendly. When I came in I looked for a menu and saw the counter menu. I was told there was grilled cheese to go and wondered why she mentioned to go. After I ordered I asked where to sit and was sent to the front waiting area. ??? I didn't understand so I found the dining room myself and sat to wait for my lunch.i had gotten silverware too Then I was asked to not eat in dining room but take food with me. to which I responded "this wasn't to go and you want me to sit in my car and eat my lunch when it's over 100° out there? "Her response to that? no you don't have to sit in your car. Lol .she asked me if I understood. I said no. I came here for lunch and a cool room. No intention of to go food. and she tells me I ordered off the Togo menu. I had no idea that it was a to go menu. It was the only menu I found to eat lunch. And no one ever asked me if I was eating there or taking it to go. And no one explained to me at all how this restaurant works with cooking the food yourself. And when I said hey since it's my first time, is it OK if I just sit at a table ?she said no and no accommodation or grace at all-I ate in my car- one of our hottest days- won't be back-Ive built several restaurants in nashville and never seen such odd service I had noticed the parking lot was pretty much empty when I got there now I know why.... read more

Loved my visit. Fun breakfast! Service was friendly and portions were plentiful. Ambiance is family friendly and casual. To say I am not a great cook is an understatement. Though I loved my dining experience, I am better off going to going to the Waffle House as I cannot make for myself a quality meal despite quality ingredients provided. Would I come here again? Yes! . . . With someone who can cook for me. read more

The place is so cute! You can make your own pancakes! The food tasted amazing! The bacon was cooked to perfection and the biscuits were so buttery and fluffy! Our waitress was so nice! read more

We were a little hesitant to try The Pfunky Griddle because it seemed a bit gimmicky, but it definitely lives up to the hype! The pancakes were delicious, and making them ourselves turned out to be so much fun. We loved picking toppings for each other and seeing who could create the best pancake. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and made the experience even better. Between the great food, pancake making, and fun atmosphere, we had a fantastic breakfast and would absolutely come back. read more

Meh. The concept is cute, but expensive to cook your own food! They pitch it as unlimited pancakes, but let's face it, unless you're a competitive eater, you're not eating a dozen pancakes. I had 2 eggs and 2 pancakes (all of which I had to cook myself.) I could have done this at home for much cheaper, and I wouldn't have to put pants on! Considering that I cooked it myself, I thought the chef was excellent Service was okay. Ample parking, no wait read more

PFunky Griddle-- Nashville, TN @pfunkygriddle1 PFunky Griddle was a family favorite! We truly had a great time! It's an All you can eat Buttermilk Pancakes with one topping. They have vegan options as well for me! Everyone was happy! We cook the pancakes and eggs to our liking and the restaurant makes the meats... They have soooo many toppings for the pancakes. I chose Blueberries, Pecans and Bananas for my toppings for my vegan pancakes. I got the vegan sausage as well as a chai tea latte with oat milk! They have gluten free options as well! This was a great way to get everyone involved to make memories with the fam! Everyone was happy! I highly recommend PFunky Griddle for you and your family when you visit Nashville! #Pancakes #Griddle #AllYouCanEat #NashvilleTN #VeganFriendly read more

So much fun! You get to cook your own pancakes at the table on a hot plate. Same for the hash browns. If that sort of adventure isn't what you are choosing, then this isn't the spot for you. We had lots of fun trying new toppings and enjoying the casual vibe. The service was great. No complaints here, and will surely be back. read more

I was staying in Nashville for work and the hotel breakfast sucked so I found this place on Happy Cow. I was intrigued by the concept so decided to check it out. They have gluten free and also vegan pancake batter so very accommodating. There was plenty of parking but also a sign about additional parking, and signage about a wait list so I assume weekends get very busy. I thought it was a little pricey BUT it's all you can eat, I Just couldn't eat more than one round. I was disappointed that the veggie sausage wasn't vegan but was thankful that the staff is very knowledgeable about that. They were very friendly and welcoming when I arrived and explained everything to me. My batter arrived quickly and making my own pancakes didn't take long at all. It could get even more pricey with multiple toppings so this seems like a fun place for a special meal. The decor was absolutely amazing with all of the murals and art work. I have been telling my Nashville coworkers about this place, as some had never heard of it. But I will definitely be back on my next trip. Hope to bring the family next time. read more

A very cool idea with wonderful execution. Recommend the Joey, which comes with pancakes, bacon, two toppings for the batter, and you can get biscuits and gravy. You cook it yourself (the pancakes). Also the eggs you make yourself. The staff was nice and always checking in. Wasn't a line which made sense for the time of day I went. Will definitely come back to this cool place! read more

Our table was greasy and we needed to ask for it to be cleaned. New to us, Reilly, our server told us we had to cook our food and could not share any part of it nor take anything with us. She took our order, and without warning, sprayed Pam onto the hot plate and walked away. What's the point when we didn't even have our water and coffee yet, let alone our food? For a party of four adults, the hot plate was too small for us to cook our food at the same time. The only pre-cooked foods were the bacon, biscuits, and turkey sausage. The room we were seated in was HOT! I asked Reilly if a window could be opened and she said no that other windows were open. When i asked where, she said "in the back". Needless to say, we were a sweaty and stinky mess by the time we left. The small room had six tables that were all being used and was quite uncomfortable. The roomed lacked any ventilation. We agreed that we should have left before ordering. As for the food, it was pricey, especially since we had to cook it ourselves. At over $20 per person, it was not worh it. The pancakes were ok. The syrup was very thin in consistency. We were given individual cups of eggs inside a metal bowl with a handy wipe and a fork, yet had to ask for more napkins because the butter was soft and our hands were getting dirty and greasy. Who cooks and isn't constantly cleaning their hands (especially when working with raw eggs?). The table was too small for the plates, beverages and the additional garbage accumulating at each corner. Very uncomfortable to cook while seated. Overall, not a great experience! read more

Great for the family! Visiting from Hawaii, we were looking for a premium breakfast experience. This spot was really cool with the idea of cooking the food on your own. The kids enjoyed flipping their own pancakes. The buttermilk mix cooks perfectly on the grill and makes it easy for kids to cook their own breakfast. The mashed potatoes are delicious when you make them crispy. The pancakes come with many toppings such as dark chocolate, white chocolate, bananas, and strawberry sauce. Highly recommended when in Nashville! read more

My wife found this funky breakfast/lunch place to eat at. It is celiac friendly and think of it as a breakfast hibachi. There is a griddle, and you get all of the fixings to cook yourself breakfast. It was fun and you get every ingredient you need. I let my wife cook first as she had gluten free pancake mix so there was no cross contamination. She said the pancakes were amazing and not gritty. Mine were great and it was the perfect start of our day. Give them a chance, good food and great service! read more

I love pfunky griddle, and you just can't convince me otherwise. Yes, you make your own food. No, it's not against the point of going out... it's an EXPERIENCE. You come here to have fun, and you leave happy! Just make sure to go online and add yourself to the waitlist ahead of time because there will ALWAYS be a LONG wait time, especially on weekends. They have a small area to wait inside, but just be prepared for that. You cook pretty much everything yourself on the griddle at your table, besides a few select sides (like the meat). We often get the Joey, which gives you all you can say pancakes with 2 toppings, 2 sides, and a choice of meat. Buttermilk All-You-Can-Eat Pancakes: 10/10 - This is where it's AT!! The batter is absolutely delicious, and they just keep bringing more until you're done. You absolutely get the bang for your buck, and I honestly love getting extra toppings even if it costs extra because it adds so much flavor. I've tried the pancakes with m&ms, chocolate chips, oreo, Nutella, and peanut butter, and all of it is good. It's super fun to make and flip them yourself, and you can make them exactly how you like them!! Bacon: I didn't try because I'm not a bacon person but my boyfriend said it was better than the average restaurant bacon. You don't cook this yourself. Hash Browns: They take a while to cook, but here's a tip-Add extra butter to the griddle before and it helps a LOT. (Heads up for any Canadians like me, their maple syrup isn't real.) read more

Pricey for something you need to cook yourself. Griddle are small cooking for 4 people was a challenge no ventilation above Griddle place was hot we weren't told or explained when we got there. Place needs to have a better ventilation and different size Griddles to accommodate larger parties. And you can't share your food or take leftovers. read more

This is a unique experience for everyone. Order the Joey with the 5 grain pancakes and I promise they are the best you've had. Partner them with chocolate chips and bananas and wow! Do plan to use the griddle, and see who at your table can make the perfect pancake! Staff are so friendly, I have always had great service. read more

What a cool concept. At this place. you can cook your own food for a few of the menu items. We opted for grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. The grilled cheese came with 4 slices of bread and 4 slices of cheese. The soup was cooked in the back. Service was good. Our waitress was prompt. Seating is a little tight but it was also a Sunday so I'm guessing it's busier then. read more

What a fun concept!! If you're going, you might as well do the Joey right?! Unlimited pancakes or French toast (gluten free & vegan available) with some sides and toppings. I honestly can't remember the last time I had a pancake so these really hit the spot. Only downside was it was pretty smoky/hot in the patio seating. Nothing a fan can't fix. Pro tip- join the waitlist from their website. read more

Date of visit: August 9, 2023 A friend talked about how fun this place was and once I heard about it, I knew we had to try it. I've been to places where you grill your own steak, but never your own breakfast! Staff was fun, if not quite as attentive as I would have liked. The food, however, was good. The batter poured easily and that allowed for mixing in our preferred items without issue. Butterfinger pancakes? Yes, please! The portions are pretty generous and when you add in all the sides as well, it makes for a hearty breakfast at a price that isn't too shabby. The bacon was excellent (we didn't have to cook that) and the biscuits--while not served warm--were way better than the "famous" ones at Loveless Café. I do wish that the side items came in more sustainable containers--I can't imagine how many of those little plastic cups are tossed out each day, filling up the landfill for centuries. Outside of that, the only other complaint I had was about the cleanliness of the facility, we sat by the window in the back section of the restaurant right after they opened and the windowsill area had clearly not been cleaned in quite some time. I was going to take a picture, but decided not to, it was that gross! read more

It's just an OK from me, the three and a half star rating for this place is about right. The ordering is clunky, the table arrangement is not comfortable, and for a place that has people cooking inside there seems to be zero ventilation. It was very smokey inside and I wouldn't eat here and then go to a meeting or appointment; you'll smell just like hot griddle and food. We sat on the patio and the first thing I noticed was that our table was not level at all. This made cooking very challenging, especially the eggs. Everything ran down and to the left and I had to hold it with the spatula until it cooked. As for the food, it was ok. I did enjoy my biscuits and gravy and the pancakes were decent, but nothing here excited me. The batter here is way too thick and doesn't pour clean, so I suggest adding a little water to the batter for an easier pour. We ordered the kids pancakes, The "Joey", and the biscuits and gravy with two sides; egg and sausage. As we ordered, we we're told three separate times (without prompting) we can't share our pancakes and that we needed to purchase our own individual pancake orders. We get it, no sharing! To be reminded so often definitely took the fun out of it and made us feel like cheap skates if I snacked a little bit food from my son's plate. This is a fun idea in theory, but I don't think it quite works for this venue. read more

We had gone to the Murfreesboro location years ago and took the drive out to Nashville this weekend to give this one a shot. It is EXPENSIVE, for food you're literally cooking yourself. 18 dollars for some pancake batter and 2 tiny jello shot containers of toppings. My daughter got the french toast and to her dismay it wasn't plain bread, it was some thick tiny slices off of an baguette it looked like. Worst of all, we all were sick to our stomach that entire afternoon. Not sure why, but this place is the common denominator. read more

Pfunky griddle is just as fun as it's name. It really looks like a super cozy shack or home depending on how you see it. Regardless, it's huge and can fit a good amount of people. I love the concept of unlimited and customizable pancakes. Not only is it cute, but you can really get creative with your food. The staff was super friendly throughout the entire experience. I genuinely enjoyed my time here. Side are fun, but very standard for breakfast add ons. Beware: you will smell like pancakes afterwards read more

What a fun place. Being gluten free I never thought I would have this type of experience. It's like breakfast hibachi. Pick your breakfast items and cook it in front of you, at your table. I was able to make my own pancakes and cook my egg and potatoes. My husband went next with regular pancakes and biscuits. The staff was great, knowledgeable for celiac. The decor perfectly hid the fans to keep the temperature perfect even with griddles going everywhere. So glad someone suggested read more

It's a shame that 1 bad experience in 6 years has made us never want to return. Been going to this place for years! We bring all our friends there and have loved it for many years. We had a baby (1 year old) and have been going there every few weeks for 2-3 months. It's the only place we eat out as its so fun and easy with our daughter. We love this place so much we drive an hour to get there and tackle the Nashville traffic. We went to have breakfast to celebrate our daughter's first birthday. We got charged over $5 to give my daughter ONE pancake from the pancakes batter I had already purchased. They didn't bring me more batter for her. They added NOTHING to my table, it cost them NOTHING extra in expense. The $5 pancake (that ended up on the floor) has cost them 2 x $70 bills a month. Greedy. read more

Overall, the idea of cooking your own food is really neat and I enjoyed the experience overall. The only problem we had was the fact that no matter how long we seemed to cook the French toast, it was still raw in the middle. Im not sure if the griddle was maybe not turned up high enough but other than that the food was good and it was a fun place to go for brunch! read more

Okay, this is the 2nd time I've been here. I took a family member who is visiting since it's an excellent concept. The food is okay, service is great! The price to me doesn't justify the food quality. I'm not sure if I'm the right clientele for Pfunky Griddle being local. I think it's a really cool concept to bring someone visiting, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here. Great customer service. The window or ventilation is not good. Our eyes were watering due to the heat/smoke. Tip: wear something you could easily change. You will smelling like breakfast right after. read more

Overall I would eat here again. The food was good. The premise is fun: getting to make your own breakfast on the shared griddle. Our server Lacy was super sweet, if a little scattered (forgetting things, wrong order) but she did circle back around each time to apologize and service recovery. the prices are reasonable. It's a little confusing for tipping because you're doing all the labor...but we did tip in the end. read more

Cute concept but alittle pricey for pancakes that you have to cook yourself. We were seated on the back porch and the smoke from the griddles was burning our eyes and making it not enjoyable. I would suggest some type of ventilation. The bathroom was nasty and needs to be cleaned. My hot coffee was not very hot. A lot of wait staff standing around on their phones. read more

Went there about 11 o'clock on a Sunday there was no wait. It did get busy while we were sitting there though. My friend had the French toast which came out good. I did the all you can eat pancakes. They give you a lot of batter to start out with. I couldn't even do anymore after the first round. overall, everything came up great. The place was clean. It was a nice experience to get while in Nashville. read more

Warning to tourists: My family and I visited Nashville and were excited to try out this breakfast spot. My daughter has Celiac Disease so we specifically sought out this location purely to try the gluten-free pancake mix, which was decent. The service was horrendous. Overall the hostess and waitress barely even glanced at us as we received the food WE had to make. The rude treatment combined with being overcharged motivated me to write this review. Definitely rethink visiting this establishment if you're not from Tennessee. I think they treat locals much better. read more

First time I've been back to The Pfunky Griddle in three years and this time I took my girlfriend with me. The pancakes and coffee we had were absolutely delicious. :) Four stars this time and I hate to do this...but they stopped selling pancake batter to go. read more

The staff is very friendly and kind. They offer gluten free options and your own griddle for allergies, which I appreciate. The pancakes are very dry and much better gluten free pancake mixes of the market. Pretty sure this was Krutz mix. Maybe try the French toast if you go and not the pancakes. If you want the experience of cooking your food, I made amazing hash browns, I would say go. Not something I would go out of my way for to try, better options around. read more

Had a great time with the family at the Pfunky Griddle. Staff was friendly and seated us promptly. We enjoyed the experience, but we noticed that theater some servers were more attentive to their guests and would spray their grill as needed. Unfortunately, ours did not. We used all the pats of butter to ensure easy grilling. Other than that the food was good and the smoothies and lattes were excellent! read more

This has got to be the nearest restaurant in town. You get to cook your own food on the griddle right in front of you! You can make your eggs the way you want it and they even have gluten-free pancakes!! We went there from out of town two days in a row. The only downside was so many customers so I suggest you go on a weekday if you can. All I have to say is, I wish we had one of these in the town I live in. read more

This place is so much fun! Pfunky Griddle is what happens if hibachi Griddle meets breakfast and you have to cook it. It gives you the joy of cooking breakfast with your family without everyone eating the same exact thing and you having to prep all the food! Everyone gets to pick their own food, pancake toppings and etc. Then watching to see who can really flip pancakes is hilarious when you go with the right crowd. But did I mention the food taste amazing! And the pancakes are all you can eat!!! I really enjoyed this place and have been there several times over the years. read more

We visited the Pfunky Griddle with family and friends and had a great time. This is definitely a place to visit for the experience. Sure, you can make your own pancakes at home - but what fun it is to do it on a table surrounded by friends, picking out your own toppings, in organized chaos. Seriously - we had a blast! I want to note, this place is Gluten-Free friendly also! We had a variety of menu options chosen at our tables. The teens all went with the unlimited pancakes for $8.99 and your choice of one pancake topping. They maxed out at 5-6 pancakes each. It's unlimited! They will continue bringing you wheat and regular pancake batters until you are finished. The process is easy and fun. Us adults opted for the bigger platter and french toast. I went simple with a latte and eggs. They have a full espresso bar and handcrafted espresso drinks available. The place is small and parking is very limited. We had a difficult time finding parking, especially on a Sunday for brunch. So you'll want to keep this in mind. We waited about 30-40 minutes for brunch. It's a bit of a "dive" but again, you are going for the experience. read more
