- Chelsea BalkanDecember 26, 2014#FabuLIST #DubiDO if you can't decide on one pancake you can order them individually. Pancakes are small. Loved the banana bread pudding one with cinnamon syrup. Hash browns and eggs are delicious.
- Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014The surprising Sweet Potato Pancakes are tasty and melt in your mouth. Weekends are crazy at the Pantry, and the waiting line usually wraps around the building down 21st Avenue, so be prepared. Read more
- Sue-Yen YongApril 3, 2015Blueberry pancakes: delicious n they're generous on the blueberries n compote. Hash browns: OMG! A littlr coconutty n crispy. Sweet potato pancakes: if ur not into cinnamon, maybe skip this.
- Chris “RockNRollGeek” Darbro 🤘March 7, 2012Try the village smithy at least once. And be adventurous, add some maple syrup to a bite. It might seem like a weird idea at first, but I promise if you try it just once, you won't regret it! :)
- Danielle F.April 7, 2020Tried this place for the first time and ordered the banana bread pancakes. Absolutely delicious! Hands down the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back! The presentation was also top-notch.
- Alex FrisbyJune 19, 2014The line was faster than I thought it would be! Best pancakes I've ever had, hands down. I was having a hard time deciding between two styles of pancakes and the waitress let me do half of each!
- EaterJuly 10, 2013This true house of pancakes has hordes of devoted followers lining up every morning to get their fill of everything from sweet potato to Santa Fe cornmeal pancakes. [Eater 18 Member]
- Kelsey YoungApril 9, 2018Go as EARLY as possible whatever day you go, even weekdays! The line is always out the door, but it’s completely worth it. Amazing pancakes with so many options! 😋🥞
- From Thursday through Sunday, the best waitress in the world, Mary, works the early shift. Tell her I said hello. My wife loves the spice (ginger) pancakes. I go with the buttermilk traditional kind.
- Chris AbneyJanuary 23, 2015FYI, as long as they are both stacks of 5 pancakes you can mix and match 3 from one type and 2 from another. Great way to try two that you can't decide between!
- Mark SmithAugust 19, 2013One of those crazy popular places which is actually worth the wait! Don't underestimate – we waited 30 mins on a Monday. Free parking at the back (with ticket). Go for SW & sweet potato pancakes!!
- Eat It TennesseeDecember 11, 2012Get here before 8 on a weekday for NO LINE! Also, can get a half order of cakes of you ask. And, if you get an egg meal you can get 2 specialty pancakes instead of 3 buttermilk. Enjoy!
- Hillary PierceNovember 21, 2012Order a variety of the specialty pancakes a la carte (1 of each of 3 or 4.) Get at least one sweet potato. Worth the wait and lived up to the hype. Hashbrowns are great too!
- Miranda LewisMay 17, 2016These people know how to make a pancake. I had the sweet potato pancakes, and they were worth the hype. Good syrup too. The eggs and hashbrowns were done well too.
- Lydia BerkennouMarch 12, 2017Worth queuing for! Even though queue seems to be much smaller weekdays after lunch time. The pancakes are outrageously amazing. Coffee too which was a surprise.
- Dustin SoperJuly 10, 2018One of Nashville's most legendary breakfast spots. Lines can get long on the weekends. The "Sugar and Spice" pancakes are most definitely worth the wait!
- Bethany HannaSeptember 7, 2015Wear comfortable shoes if you want to taste their pancakes! The line to get in is about an hour long. However, they do have a drink station outside that has water, milk, and coffee!
- N. AmroOctober 14, 2013The wait in line is worth it. Actually, with the right people in line, it's fun in its own right! The place is called the Pancake Pantry...order pancakes for goodness' sake.
- Christina LaFonteJuly 11, 2014Get a half order of 2 different types of pancakes so you can try both--- I did 3 sweet potato pancakes and 1 choc sin with raspberry. So delicious!
- Patrick ManusAugust 25, 2012Without a doubt the best breakfast in Nashville, but watch out for a line around the block on Sunday morning. Blueberry pancakes are a personal favorite but the omelettes are not to be forgotten
- Matt KnustMay 28, 2017Wait on a Saturday at 9:30 was 30-35 min. Pecan pancakes were awesome; shared them as a group. Omelettes were just ok; Grilled Medley was above average
- Sheyla ConcepcionMay 14, 2016Believe the hype and stay in line. Sweet potato pancakes are 👌. Use the cinnamon cream syrup that they recommend. The bacon is great too.
- Gina D'AgostinoApril 1, 2014Def worth the long wait you will have no matter what day. Service is good and food is amazing! Great low prices too!
- Brian SwinfordMay 19, 2013This place definitely lives up to its hype. Was not disappointed! Best grits we've ever had. The blintzes melt in your mouth. Heck, even the ice in their drinks are superior!
- Greg ValenskiMarch 31, 2015The best pancakes EVER! I got the raspberry delight but everyone I was with ordered something different and agreed these are the best pancakes ever.
- Jole PAugust 12, 2015Sweet potato pancakes are a go to w a tall glass of milk. Very filling though and good to share if you don't want to stuff yourself!
- Christopher AyresJuly 1, 2013Best pancakes I've ever had in my life. Sweet Potato Pancakes with cinnamon sugar syrup tastes like pumpkin pie. Epic. Long lines...but worth the wait.
- Wayne BurrellJanuary 22, 2015The sweet potato pancakes are slices of heaven on a plate! #pancakepantry @nashoriginals
- mary pinsonAugust 30, 2014my boyfriend hates pancakes but i still thought he was a fool for not ordering ANY and going for the "tennessee country ham" instead. turns out i was the fool; that ham was beyond excellent.
- Katherine ChalaApril 13, 2013Lemon apricot pancakes are smothered in lemon glaze as well as stuffed with it. If you're diabetic or have a fear of becoming diabetic stay away from that choice.
- Social News NetworkNovember 27, 2013The wait in line is totally worth it for a place with the best selection of pancakes! Absolutely delicious. If you are in Nashville, this is a must-visit!
- Jacobo GómezNovember 23, 2019Not sure if worth the wait in the permanent long line outside.... but still GREAT! Pancakes were ok, but the french toast was definitely something else
- Jayna YoungJuly 25, 2013Great food! Be prepared to stand in line, but it's worth the wait! Sugar & Spice Pancakes and Big Patty Breakfast were so yummy & filling!
- Nicki RobinsFebruary 17, 2014The small appetite plate is awesome. The perfect amour of food! Substitute sweet potato pancakes (you get 2 instead of 4!) Yum!
- Alexandra PrevidiDecember 31, 2015Best hangover cure there is. Only complaint is the long lines. Try everything, but whatever you do, don't skip their bacon.
- Joe EllisFebruary 19, 2020Country ham, always a plus. Buttermilk pancakes, fluffy and delish. Oh, free parking in back, score!
- Mike FabioJanuary 29, 2012Try the The Village Smithy - Cornmeal pancakes with green chiles and bacon, served with salsa, sour cream, butter, and maple syrup. Featured on Man v. Food Nation.
- ✅ Kit OliynykDecember 21, 2014It takes much longer for large groups to get seated: split into pairs and sneak in front of the big parties, they'll notice and call you in.
- A Nashville tradition for years! The wait in line outside is totally worth it! Get the chocolate chip pancakes-and yummy hash browns!
- Travel ChannelAugust 4, 2011Get the Village Smithy – cornmeal pancakes cooked with green chilis and peppers, and served with pico de gallo, sour cream, and syrup. As seen on Man v Food Nation.
- freesyayaJanuary 13, 2018Had chocolate chip and classic buttermilk pancakes. They were great! Didn’t like their hot chocolate. Stick to coffee
- The great triumvirate of Pancake Pantry: French Toast, Sweet Potato Pancakes, & the Grill Cook's Medley (a heavenly skillet of hash brown, ham, peppers, onions, cheese, w a fried egg on top & salsa).
- Sara StrongAugust 24, 2014A tough sell for me with a kid given the line, but if you can swing it to tolerate an hour+ wait, it WILL pay off. The menu makes up what it lacks in ambience. Also try Pfunky Griddle.
- OzleDecember 23, 2016Try Medley for a salty start and don't miss sweet potato pancakes with cinnamon syrup and blueberry ones!
- Paolo BaroneMarch 2, 2014Try the Sweet Potato Pancakes - Amazing pancakes! Sweeter than the regular ones and this makes them@so@much better!
- mary pinsonAugust 30, 2014if you aren't a big eater, order your pancakes ala carte. the full order of sweet potato pancakes was delicious, but i only ate about 2/5 of them!
- Sabrina McnealNovember 15, 2013enjoyed the complimentary coffee while waiting in line. Sweet potato pancakes were to die for. Great service thanks Bobcat!
- Mike TvrdikFebruary 19, 2016Oh my goodness. The food was amazing here. It's going on my list for every time I'm in Nashville.
- Eugene GraceJanuary 1, 2014Come early and be prepared to stand outside in line, the wait is totally worth it.
- Jason BaxterSeptember 20, 2016Pancakes and has towns are good. I had the banana bread pancakes. The bacon was good but not great like others rave about. It's not worth the line of its longer than 15 people.
