pancake pantry

horrible and over-priced. our check, not including the tip, for two adults and two small children was over $45 just for pancakes. the service was terrible. our waitress was mia most of the stay and my familt visited in the off season during non-peak hours. we had to request the same condiments (butter and syrup) several times.

the pancakes are alright if you want to pay $20 for a plate of them. you would be better served taking that money and trying one of the other several pancake houses in g-burg.

totally worth the wait!. i was skeptical the first time. waiting in line for pancakes? but as soon as i put that first bite in my mouth, i knew i'd stand in that line all over again. which, has proven true many times. and every time i take an out-of-town guest, they start out skeptics, as well. and every time, they all say the same thing - it was worth the wait. however, if you're going on a weekend for breakfast, i would suggest going early and beating the really long line. my favorite pancakes are hands-down the swiss chocolate chip - little tiny chocolate chips that melt on the warm pancakes, and then you spread them around with the whipped butter...bliss! the bacon is to-die-for, as well. and if you get mary as your server, she makes the whole experience even better!

while the staff wasn't very friendly, the service was speedy! we got our breakfast within 5 minutes of being seated! the food was outstanding and will definitely bring us back when we're in the area!

it is not worth waiting outside for an hour, waiting for your food once ordered another hour to get really bad service and mediocre food.

don't waste your money. over 60.00 for 3 adults and 2 toddlers. the pancakes are not made with fresh fruit, everything is glorified pie filling or frozen berries in syrup. there are better options out there for less money. i don't understand the hype, i have eaten there three times in 10 years and have found breakfast very disappointing, if you do go, get your kids water to drink a child's milk was 2.50!

hard salami should hang from the ceiling. we'd just rolled into nashville, up to help move my son in, and he suggested noshville as a place to meet and eat. a place to stoke up and strategize the furniture shopping and target runs ahead. so when we walked into noshville and i saw the swinging ceiling salami and a case of oversized, homemade cakes, i figured at least he won't go hungry around here. normal people get a breakfast that looks like this--eggs, bacon, cutesy fruit, toast. then there are fools like me who can be easily double-dog dared ( or the sinister triple dog dare ) into just about any gustatory adventure, especially if its called the dare breakfast sandwich. i've eaten a 4 inch long tobacco worm on a dare--bit it right in half, the green worm blood splashing my chin. i've sipped moonshine from a soup spoon, that was set on fire, on a dare. the dare breakfast sandwich, chock full with 3 eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, and cheese on two thick slabs of french toast, just about o

waiting in line = part of the experience!. the pancake pantry is a wonderful haven of breakfast goodness! they don't serve waist-friendly food, but you must try it!

food was great. not the best i’ve had but it’s the best i’ve had in this state so far. but it is definitely second favorite place. i had the banana bread pancakes with bananas on top. the eggs i got with cheese and it looks as if they put real cheese on them. fantastic. not everyone does that. it was packed so we ended up sitting with a stranger which we had a choice. we didn’t mind. we were starving after running the nashville half marathon. but we didn’t wait long and we are definitely going back as i plan to take my parents as well.

seriously.....why does everyone wait in line for this place?

i did not like it. i rate it a 6 of 10 and i think i am being generous.

first, the we waited for 1.5 hrs despite the call we made ahead of time and they said 45 minutes.

after we got in, and were seated, they said for us to bear with them because our server was behind. well, they are always full and do not allow anyone in until someone leaves, so how was this unexpected, and how did they let her get behind?

i asked about the size of pancakes making a gesture about the size of a denny's pancake and she looked a little annoyed and said that they were smaller, by a bit.

got the food we ordered and the pancakes (buttermilk) were actually tasty. i usually order eggs over medium, so if they are a little too soft or firm, i don't mind, since it is usually a tough thing to do when they are rushed. but their eggs were done properly. these are nice things, but not 45 min wait nice.
found hair on my food. thought it could be mine so i removed it and started eating. no biggie. that was until i found one in my son's food as well. syrup was good and homemade.

server also let my drink run out for a while.

so with wait, portion size, the hairs, and the poor service, i will not go back. if they had been just ok, at least, i probably wouldn't go back due to the wait. i'll stick with ihop and denny's.

very good food. only down side was it was cash only!

good pancake comfort food. the pancake pantry is the ole faithful of gatlinburg. all the pancakes are good. you order what you like. yes theres no maple syrup but if there was the prices would be even higher. its cash only and that also keeps the prices down. i've eaten here numerous times and its always a nobrainer for me. good, filling and fun times eating with family when home. i travel all the time (mostly to new york) and this in new york is more expensive and not as good. thank you for still being here and may the tourists keep coming for you from your friend brigitte grisanti new york and tennessee food lover!!!!

the pancake pantry is a nice little place down in the university area of nashville that serves 20-some different types of pancakes. when we arrived the line was out the door and around the corner at 1 in the afternoon. we finally were seated and order our sweet potato pancakes

food was ok. i had the french toast which was marked as one of their award winning dishes. i can see how this could've been award winning, but mine tasted burnt more than anything else. my biggest complaint was the frigid temperature they had the thermostat set to.

located in the cute village-like belmont/hilsboro district in nashville you can't go wrong with pancakes that have been served for years at this mom & pop local gem. apparently sourcing speciality tennessee flour helps these little beauties. the sweet potato pancakes are light and fluffy and complimented with cinnamon syrup. the corn and jalapeño are chunky and dense but still tasty. many options to try, something for everyone - not far (close drive) from the 'i love nashville' mural, reese witherspoon's draper james boutique, and the parthenon (yes, nashville you are the athens of the south ;) ) worth a visit for a great southern pancake breakfast. care, queues exist often we've been told.
