What People Are Saying About Pancake Pantry

In Short – Despite the abundance of nearby breakfast choices, the line at the Pancake Pantry persists. What's the secret behind the success of this Hillsboro Village institution? It's as simple as pancakes: From buttermilk flapjacks with warmed maple syrup to sublime Raspberry Delight, this is as good as breakfast can be. When it comes to service, staff members speed around the restaurant with a friendliness that makes even a tourist feel like a regular.

All hype.

by lstover37235 at Citysearch

I've never really understood the appeal of pancake pantry. Waiting in line for an hour to have over-priced pancakes that I could have cooked better myself? No thanks.

For better service and better food I recommend the place over on Elliston next to Krispy Kreme.

  • Pros: Iconic, Lots of variety
  • Cons: Price, Food Quality
4 Star Rating: Recommended

Great French Toast!

by scooby7 at Citysearch

The French Toast was AWESOME! Very pretty looking too! If the person ahead of us hadn't noticed we had to get a parking ticket, we might've gotten towed! It's free in the parking lot behind for the 1st 1 1/2 hrs. (with a lot ticket)...other wise you need to find street parking. We went on a Monday afternoon, so the wait was under 10 minutes. We got seated at a table along the wall, so we were very close to the two tables on either side of us. But it was a casual place and the waitress was very relaxed, it was enjoyable. The volume seemed loud at times, but nothing too over the top. The service was fast & friendly and the order, accurate. The bathrooms could've used work, but I've seen worse. The table was clean. The cashier was nice. It was nice to not have to wait for the waitress the realize we were done and then bring us a ticket, she brought it out shortly after our order, when she checked on us and we payed at the register, when we were ready. She kept checking on us and getting us our refills. We definitely will go back. Maybe not when the line is too awful long, but for sure we will dine there again!

  • Pros: Good Food, Pay @ Register
  • Cons: Can be a wait, Parking may be tough, a little cramped/loud

Amazing Legacy & Eats

by AllMySomethings at Citysearch

Pancake Pantry is a part of Nashville culture. Not only do the locals and tourists both wait in long lines (rain, snow or shine) but so do the local celebrities. It's amazing food and usually really good service. Worth the time to eat and not that pricey, either!

  • Pros: Chocolate Sin Pancakes - HEAVEN
  • Cons: Long Wait
