Why There Is Always A Line At Pancake Pantry
Pancake Pantry is one of Nashville’s most popular eateries.
Like any good establishment, I always trust any place that has a line full of tourists and locals alike at any given time. On my visit, it was a Sunday morning in March, and the photo below shows what the line was like at about 9am. Given, any Sunday will be a very busy morning, the line moved relatively quickly, and we were inside by about 9:30am ordering our meal, which was a pleasant surprise.
There was a local musician playing his own music at the front of the entrance and selling CDs – which being in Nashville and in a long line – was much appreciated during our wait. He was really good too!
Once we arrived at the front, we saw the quick turn-around operation that was in place here. It highlighted to us the procedure staff work with in clearing the empty tables, seating people and having them served their meal in quick succession. But don’t worry, you are not rushed to eat and can take your time, (though it doesn’t take long to devour your choice in any case!)
Pancake Pantry Menu – What Do You Eat Here?
Pancake Pantry have a wide selection on their menu – and at such good prices!
From sweet to savory, to anything that goes well on the side, there is a lot to choose from.
When we went, my friends and I all ate different things. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes which were delicious (the butter mixed with the chocolate gave it a sweet and salty mix that tasted so good!) Christina had the strawberry shortcakes and Andrew had Banana Bread pancakes and a side of hashbrowns.
A special mention really does have to go to the amazing Sweet Potato Pancakes as well, which have sweet potato in their batter, and come with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon.
Delicious is an understatement! We were each given one to try by our waitress – (complimentary) having ordered different pancakes – which was a sweet gesture for our first time there. She didn’t want us to leave without having one which was what I loved about the hospitality here…next time I return the Sweet Potato pancakes are what I am getting. They were superb!
Pancake Pantry is clearly amazing.
If my experience there hasn’t made you want to go there next time you’re in Nashville, you are missing out. Go immediately!
Pin This For Your Next Nashville Adventure!
Hi my sister and I are travelling to the US from 29/4 – 20/5 next year. 9 nights in New York, then 3 nights in Nashville, Las Vegas and San Francisco, in that order! I’m madly reading through your different tips, and have requested to join your FB Group too! We are 49 and 47 – one of us more adventurous than the other LOL – total novices to travelling in the US and would be extremely grateful for any advice! We love all the movie references you have and hope to see a few of the favorite scenes from favorite movies! My sister loves the country rock music scene, and we’re both keen to see Broadway and Las Vegas shows! I’m going to keep reading but if you can recommend anything in particular, I’d be grateful xx
Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for your kind words! I love that you and your sister are hitting the states together – you will have a fab time! I can definitely recommend some places for all those cities. Be sure to ask questions in the group too!
My main tips would be: NYC (theres too much to mention haha) – 9/11 Museum (Free entry if youre there on a Tuesday after 4pm), Central Park, Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge. Staten Island Ferry is free if you want good views of Statue of Liberty. Nashville – Broadway and Opryland – def check that out. Las Vegas – A grand canyon tour if you can afford the helicopter ride, Paris Eiffel Tower is good – you can get discounts for it with groupon. I gamble a lot in Vegas – all the shows are good. Bellagio Fountains are awesome. Take the Deuce along the strip so you dont have to walk. They have a 24 hour ticket for $7 i think. The Las Vegas sign has a stop too! San Fran – Alamo Square, Lombard Street, Fishermans Wharf, Golden Gate Park. The Market at the Ferry Building is a real treat and has great views of the Bay Bridge.
This is all i can think of off the top of my head. But I can definitely come up with more! Let me know if you need any tips – I have travelled a lot. I just havent written about it all haha.
I’ve never heard of Pancake Pantry but I’m so glad that I do now! And I’m seriously craving pancakes now 🙂
