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

Worth the wait

by phoenix95 at Citysearch

I have been wanting to try The Pancake Pantry, and after 5 years of living in Nashville, I finally made it out there. There was a little wait, but not too bad. The people in line were all in good spirits and the weather was nice. We were seated pretty quickly and the service was prompt. Our waitress was very nice and did an awesome job. A good place to people watch, since the layout of the restaurant is quite open. I had the Sugar and Spice pancakes, and my gf had the Raspberry Delight pancakes... both were absolutely delicious! I would love to go back and try different ones!

• Pros: Excellent selection and service
• Cons: A bit of a wait to get in

Awesome Cakes!

by KrisN at Citysearch

This is the most amazing menu for pancakes that I have ever seen. There are pancakes that you can not even imagine. The sweet potatoe pancakes with the cinnamon cream syrup is absolutely to die for. Also, Chocolate Sin - with raspberry compote and choc ganash is heaven on earth. It is worth every extra dime you spend - and wait - the line is nothing once you enter the doors.

• Pros: Amazing slection
• Cons: hard to decide

Best Breakfast Ever!

by Kadibug at Citysearch

My husband loves breakfast so I have been dragged to many of the breakfast hot spots. This place is the best. I hate to over eat because it feels horrible, but this place is so good I almost always do! I love this place!!!

• Pros: The food

Best Pancakes Around

by ztalady at Citysearch

Every time I have been to Pancake Pantry, I have never been disappointed. In my opinion, they have some of the best pancakes around town and the wait is definitely worth it.

• Pros: Great Pancakes
• Cons: Need more options for the omelettes ($1.25 per add on is a little pricey for me)

I had a great time!

by adsfan at Citysearch

I've read most of the reviews here about the PP, and I have to say that my experience was great. The wait was only 5 minutes on a late Saturday morning, the staff was friendly, and the pancakes were the best I've had. Someone please tell me where I can buy a bottle of that cinnamon syrup... it was so good!

• Pros: Pancakes, syrup, sausages... everything!
• Cons: Parking

Great place for breakfast

by stampitsteve at Citysearch

After reading other reveiws I had to try PP while my son and I came to a Titans game. We arrived around 8:00am on Sunday, no problem parking. When we walked up to the front door I saw a cart with coffee and water outside so I knew the reveiws I read were correct when they said there may be a line outside the door. There were plenty of staff working and the service was quick and quite pleasant. I alway ask for a recommendation at new places that I go to and was directed to the sweet potatoe pancakes. Now I don't eat sweat potatoes, never had. So I order the house skillet and sweet potatoe pancakes on the side. WOW were they good with the cinnimon cream. I was stuffed, great value as well. I am glad they aren't anywhere near where I live. When we left there were probably 20 people outside. DO NOT let that discurage you. The service was fast, friendly and the restaurant holds a lot of people.

• Pros: great food, fast service
• Cons: parking could be an issue when they are busy

Are you kiddin' me?

by odrestauranthopper at Citysearch

You probably thought by the title that this would be a negative blurb about the Pancake Pantry however looking at the recommendation of five stars, you guessed it, I love this place! The "Are you kiddin' me?" title is for those people who gave this restaurant a bad review. One star? What is that all about? Okay, so the line is long...the only reason you don't notice it at Cracker Barrel is they have the gift shop (where you can spend more of your money) and the rockers out front, but I've been in line at Cracker Barrel for an hour too. You wait, you relax, you enjoy...the Pancake Pantry could put chairs out front I suppose, but the line moves quickly so it would be like playing musical chairs. And the staff...Pancake Pantry's staff treated me and my guest as if we were the only ones there...just like they treated everyone else. You don't receive that kind of service at Cracker Barrel, Denney's or the IHOP. Yes, you do have to ask for half-and-half, but it's not any different anywhere else..except the Sunset Grill-they bring it out as a luxury too! Yes, the parking is pitiful, but where do you know of in a university/downtown setting that the parking is not limited? Drive around a couple times, you'll find parking. The food, well, in my opinion, the pancakes, bacon and eggs are superb at the Pancake Pantry. The Sweet Potato Pancakes are phenomenal! OMGosh! They melt in your mouth. I'm sure that the negative comments were on an off day...but generally that's not the case. I've been to Cracker Barrel on way too many occasions when it was an off day. One time when we went to CB, we couldn't cut the pancakes even with a knife. You won't find that at the Pancake Pantry. The whole thought of the Pancake Pantry far outweighs going anywhere else in Nashville. Everything about it speaks, "Yes, I HAVE to go there." In fact, we're going there this morning, and yes it is the weekend." I wouldn't take my son to CB for his birthday...only the Pancake Pantry will do.

• Pros: Pancakes, Pancakes and did I mention pancakes?
• Cons: Parking.

Best Pancakes in Nashville

by sammy615 at Citysearch

There's really no place better to go get pancakes. Nah, the sausage isn't great, and the eggs aren't always cooked well, but it's not called "Breakfast Pantry". Pancakes are the special here and they know how to do them right. Stick to the simple pancakes with maple syrup and you won't be disappointed. However, everything else on the menu is pretty good as well. There is a reason there is a line outside all the time. I'm not sure who was so extremely dissatisfied that they gave a one-star rating. But judging by their whiny review, they probably aren't very easy to please. There's no accounting for taste.

• Pros: Pancakes, Syrup, Ambience, Location, Anticipation
• Cons: Service, Sausage

great local tradition

by trvltime at Citysearch

Love the pancake pantry. I eat there at least once on every Nashville trip. The staff is friendly despite the fast pace they are serving food. The only problem we have experienced is which pancake to have on that particular day.
