Stopped here before heading home after a weekend trip to Nashville. Although the line was a long (it was a Sunday around brunch hours, so duh), it was worth the wait. The pancakes were definitely delicious. And so was everything else we got. We sat on the small outdoor patio which is on a busier street so we got to see all the people already peddling and drinkin. Our server was very sweet and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place, maybe on a week day if you can!

This little spot didn’t disappoint. Totally worth the line outside. Only about a half-hour wait. Wasn’t just hype. The food was awesome. Everything tastes good. Would have given it a 4.5 if it was available. The reason I couldn’t give it a 5 is because though the sweet potato pancakes were nice and the special cinnamon sauce goes well with the coffee and cakes, seriously you have to add nutmeg and use vanilla abstract or else the sweet potato pancakes will have a bit of a harsh bite. Gravy on the chicken fried steak and the steak itself was seasoned to perfection. Bottomless coffee was perfect for Nashville night recovery and the eggs, bacon and cheese scramble were very well prepared.

I was really anticipating eating here, because I love pancakes. So, I decided to wait in the 45 min line. While waiting, there was a menu being passed around, so that people could kind of get an idea of what they wanted. So, once I get in and get seated, the server came to me and asked my drink order, I told her & I also advised that I knew what I wanted to eat, but I had a question. She advised that she would put the drink order in first and come back. Mind you, it’s just me. I said, okay. When she came back I said, “I see that the eggs & bacon are under pancake meals, but I wanted to know if I could substitute the pancakes for Pigs in a Blanket, or do I have to buy them all separately?” She gave me the most ugliest look you could imagine and said, “what?” At this point, I compose myself & ask the question a different way, because maybe she didn’t understand me. So, we came to the conclusion that I should order separately, which is what I did and added grits. When I got my food, the grits were inedible because they had sooooooo much butter in them. When I pulled my silverware out of the paper, the fork had food particles from another diner on it, so I waited for the server to come back to ask for a new set. She never came, so I asked another server & she looked at me like, “why are you talking to me?” She gave me a new set though. But my server came to serve people around me and just placed my Sprite refill on the table & walked away. I’m usually a big tipper, but I was satisfied with giving her a big fat zero dollar tip while she stood there.

Delicious pancakes! Cheery and bright inside. We arrived around 10 on a Monday and waited about 20 minutes to be seated. Service wasn’t the best, we had to ask a few times where our bacon was and when we finally received it, it was cold.

FANTASTIC BREAKFAST….I would have left a 5 star but our waiter was not having a good morning and let it show through BUT no worries. The food was great and highly recommended the French toast and avocado toast. Not to mention the incredibly delicious pancakes!

We love trying new breakfast places while traveling. We arrived here at about 10am on Tuesday and saw a line outside. It only took about 20-25 minutes to be seated though! The food options are all tempting, it was hard to choose just one. We started with the candied bacon because it came so highly rated. It was decent but a let down because it was served to us ice cold. None of us ate it after the first bite. We had the Cooks Medley, Strawberry shortcake rolled pancakes, and the Cinnamon roll pancakes. All were delicious! 10/10 would return!

Friendly staff and delicious pancakes! Savory Santa Fe cornmeal cakes and the chocolate peanut butter pancakes were simply delicious. No line Sunday at 8 am but was already forming by the time we left at 9 am.

A mom’s group on FB recommended this place and we are so happy we went! We had a local friend along who told us not to worry about the long line because it moves fast. We waited about 20 minutes but it was so worth it. The omelette was straight forward. The hash browns are a must. We substituted the pecan pancakes for the buttermilk on our omelette plate and what a great decision. The pecans were so fresh and the pecan maple syrup was a treat. We weren’t savvy about their cinnamon cream but read later it was great to pour on or in anything including your coffee. We’ll have to try that next time. It’s so delicious!! We are going back tomorrow, we were THAT pleased with it!

Even though there is a line, it moves very quickly and so worth the wait. Lots of staff, everyone was happy and helpful. The breakfast was amazing. I’ve never had such good hashbrowns in any restaurant. Everything we ordered was a 10 out of 10. Shawn could not have been a better server, shout out to him!
