The food (like the owner/management's attitude) is nasty. They dont treat black people fairly. Don't go. Very old looking inside.

If you are tired of the status quo, and want well made food this is your spot. The customer service is always great. We order to go, and do not have to worry about our order being wrong. You get a lot of food for the prices. My favorite is the Potato with Gyro meat. I always order my egg over easy and add an extra. Nirvana. They are always busy, but always professional. I only wish they were open longer and on Mondays, but I'll take what I can. read more

Brother Juniper's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Got off a plane at 9:00 a.m. starved and decided to try out this breakfast restaurant for the first time that had received over 1k great reviews. What a disappointment! We waited forever bc someone screwed up and called others before us. That aside, we ordered a Sandiegan omelette and the pancake special with blueberry pancake, bacon, potatoes and no egg. My food arrived with just bacon and potatoes on the plate. The bacon was hard and the potatoes were cold and old! Instant case of indigestion! They finally brought 1 large pancake filled with blueberry compote. I was looking forward to fresh blueberries baked in. The pancake was sugary and I was looking forward to breakfast not dessert. It came with a dollop of maple syrup in a jar and if we wanted more to cover the large pancake, that's an extra 1.75. Also a turnoff. My husband said his omelette was okay. All the female staff were dressed like future handmaids. Ugh! When I asked our friendly waiter Kyle about the restaurant theme/history he proudly explained that it started in California based on Brother Juniper feeding the hungry for less and then was sold in early 2000's and is still owned by the same family. I think they lost the concept of feeding for less bc I thought it was overpriced. I'm glad for their success but I don't know why this restaurant has received such great reviews. I should have just waited until I got home bc I would have had a delicious and healthy breakfast for less! read more

This breakfast spot was really quaint! The vibe of the whole place was awesome and the staff was super friendly. My buddy and I loved it. The only downside is the food wasn't that great. The eggs were a bit runny and didn't have a whole lot of flavor too them, they just didn't taste that good. The toast w/ jam and the home fries were good so I did enjoy that and I got there famous juniper latte which was delicious. So because the staff was really nice and some of the food was good it's gonna be 4 stars . It was just kind of disappointing that the main dish was sub par though, especially when everything else going so well. Overall: 4.15 stars read more

Went to this location while visiting Memphis. Looking online, this is one of the top rated spots to grab breakfast in Memphis. My party had to wait about 30 minutes as they were busy, but we just walked around and visited shops in the meantime, so it went by quickly. The staff is prompt and friendly. The portion sizes are large, so you will not leave hungry! The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. They have coffee, as well! read more

I come here for an excellent breakfast at anytime!!! I love their food almost as much as their message. When you go, you can read their mission statement. This touches my heart. The portions fill my belly. Now, have fallen in love with two dishes, the Greek Omelet & the Lamb & Garden Omelet. Have no clue where they get their lamb from & if I did, would probably go to also support them. These omelets are nothing to scoff at. They are so large, easily two meals for me. Yes, they warm up well. The cheese grits served with it are just an extra delight. Their hot sauce that is located on every table has a great flavor. I also love the fact they only have sourdough bread. Oh so yummy!!!! The coffee is always fresh & everything is served with a smile. The service there is just a delight. So many reasons to go here. I will give a warning. If you are going on the weekend, get there EARLY. Otherwise, don't' go hungry because you are going to have a wait. Yes, the wait is worth it, but still. I generally go for lunch during the week. No matter how packed it is, you get the same friendly service as you would if you were the only ones there. Come hungry & enjoy!!! read more

You haven't had a real breakfast in your WHOLE life until you go to Brother Juniper's. It is LITERALLY THE BEST! I have never had a bad meal here, the family that owns it is beyond delightful, and the prices are reasonable for the portions you get. It's like two or three meals in one. I get the spanakopita omelet. When you take your first bite, your eyes cross. It's true. You'll see. The grits are always the perfect consistency. Yum! The espresso is REAL, NOT the brown water stuff. There will be a wait and it is worth it!!!!! You can now order online, even a day in advance. If you're visiting Memphis, you cannot leave without trying this incredible menu! read more

This is the BEST BREAKFAST IN MEMPHIS. and possibly best breakfast anywhere! I've traveled ALOT and always get the french toast everywhere I go to compare to Brother Junipers. I have yet to find a place that is even close. Biscuit sandwiches & toast are both AMAZING. Potato dishes are great. You really can't go wrong here. Service is always quick. Make a reservation on Yelp before you leave your house, and you won't have to wait at all. (vs a 1+ hour wait if you just go in person to put your name on the waitlist) Brother Juniper's ROCKS. read more

LOVED this spot. I really, really loved this place. I chose the Lamb Omelet. Excellent choice. Delicious sliced lamb, funky feta cheese, and generous amounts of diced vegetables transformed the simple fluffy eggs into something special and unique. My companion chose the Fireman Open Face Omelet, which she relished. According to her, the spice was on point without being overwhelming. My crispy roasted potatoes and her cheese grits were to die for. We were checking out the cinnamon roll pancakes ordered by the gents at the next table...4 men shared the dish and they only barely finished it. Next time, I will bring an empty stomach and some friends...I wanted to try those pancakes. This place gets an A on the food and an A on the service. The menu was so chock full of interesting options!! I know that I will return again and again! read more

Some really great breakfast! Was very busy! Was worth every second and more. I would eat there Everytime I was in town.

The food was good but the service was segregated, geared more to the whites, felt very unwelcome, and very uncomfortable never coming back

Hands down the best breakfast restaurant! We found this place on accident and I am so glad we did. The customer service was excellent, the food was excellent, the coffee was excellent, and the parking was excellent. I had the omelette and I couldn't finish the whole thing it was so big! The cheese grits are superb! I love this place! read more

Eating at the counter is fun but they are so busy there is not a lot of conversation to be had. The food is plentiful and good. Large portions warning here. Must have: cinnamon roll pancakes. Try: open face omelet. Why not 5 stars in this cute off campus eatery? Well my food was not hot. Warm at best. Even the cheese on my omelet was not melted. still very edible. Call me old school but I love a hot breakfast. They saved their fourth star with great coffee! read more

Absolutely delicious .. I'm not a big breakfast fan. But when I have a taste for breakfast it better be good. Man, this place never disappoint! Don't let the ole building fool ya, its sum gudt eatin goin on up in here, up in here.. Its some traditional favs such as roasted potatoes, grits, biscuits then there's the kicked up menu such as smoked salmon omellette, spinach feta mushroom omellettes.. trust me, they will leave a good taste in your mouth that will keep their name on yo brain read more

First, lemme say that when we walked in I was almost positive Seth Rogan was behind the hostess stand. This guy legit could have been his twin, but I digress.. Peter was our waiter and he was great. Funny, personable, quick, knowledgeable about the menu. He made several suggestions for food picks. We both listened to him and we were not disappointed. I got loaded biscuits and gravy. There were fried eggs, gravy, bacon, cheese, sausage, green onions, and some other stuff. It was nothing short of heaven in your mouth. The wait was not terribly long to be seated or to get our food. Really enjoyed this experience and would love to go back! read more

Once again, a spectacularly delicious and expertly prepared breakfast for myself and my companion. I had the Mellow Portobello Mushroom Omelette and added roasted red peppers and spinach. For my side, I chose a biscuit and added gravy. I also substituted cheese grits. My gosh, they put garlic and five kinds of cheese in their cheese grits: so savory! The omelettes that they create here are huge and come out piping hot! (Now, they charge extra for most modifications and additions, but I think that it's worth it.) My companion had the Pancake Special. It came with two strips of the most delicious bacon that I've ever sampled! I'm so glad that I was dining with a sharer. Another thing that impressed me is that they freshly grind their coffee beans for every pot of coffee. This place has been making breakfast for many years, and have completely perfected the process. I have always received excellent meals and service here. Of course, I will keep returning. read more

Oh, brother! My second trip--not my last, although I am regrettably limited by the fact that I live 6 hours away. Souther goodness meets...I don't know what...at Brother Juniper's. It's always busy--get there when they open and thank me later. The menu is deep--have a look before you go. Everything benefits from a variety of flavors and flavors, layered carefully in as delightful of a presentation as you could reasonably ask from a breakfast scramble. Photos had to wait--have a look and you'll understand. A guy at my table got toast, eggs, and sausage. Don't be that guy. Go to Juniper's and order a meal that suits the wait you made it through to get a table. :) read more

Best breakfast in Memphis! Really busy because of it try to arrive early. Always kind service.

Me and my cousin came here for breakfast on a tuesday, wasn't super busy and we were seated right away. We both got coffee. I had the raspberry mocha & she had a cappuccino, both were good although the raspberry mocha did end up being just a bit to sweet for me towards the bottom of the mug. For breakfast we both ordered biscuits, she had sausage & cheese & ended up using the jam along with it, she absolutely loved the biscuits. I had a bacon egg & cheese, definitely a huge portion of eggs on it, it was very filling & yummy. & we both tried the loaded grits. I think they put a bit too much sour cream on it & it overpowered the grits a bit but my cousin thought it was just the right amount, so different tastes. Overall was a good experience. they have so many options to eat & they honestly all sound really good so i don't think you can go wrong with anything. read more

This was our first time and we enjoyed it. First, the place isn't fancy but it has a great vibe. The walls are decorated with artwork from what I assume are local artist. That's cool. I enjoyed the Carmel latte...delicious. The loaded biscuit and gravy are the bomb. The biscuits are made fresh daily. You get a lot so be hungry. This was my first foray into cheese grits. They weren't for me but it seemed everyone else dug 'em. The other three people in my group had omelets and they "clean plated" them. My wife did say her home fries were too salty but no one else mentioned it. Price was fair. Service was friendly and prompt. I'm already looking forward to next time. read more

You know, I'd like to think that I don't ever pick bad restaurants but.... I do have to give the credit to my fiancé. we were passing through Memphis on a road trip and wanted brunch. some how some way he found this place and wow.. we are already ready to go back. when we first arrived, there was not much parking because it's located near a college centered area but we found a great spot right behind the building. the place was definitely packed and lots of people were waiting (which is not a problem b/c we wait literally everywhere we go) honestly we got there maybe 45 min before they closed so I was hoping the would still seat us and then the waitress said there would be about a 45 min wait but I could tell by how fast they were moving that it would be much shorter than that. (nonetheless, we were just happy they were still going to let us eat lol) The aura/vibe of the place was super cool. it reminded me of the old country home town breakfast joint. the hosts and waiters treated you like you've been there a million times with huge smiles on their faces (it's always a plus to not feel foreign, we thoroughly enjoyed it.) my fiancé even said the restrooms were extremely nice! After about 15 min (told you it wouldn't be 45 min lol) we were seated and ready to order. our waiter brought us our menus and we immediately ordered.. I got a "Juniper Latte" for my drink (absolutely delicious) and my fiancé got a water with lemon. for food, I ordered the "Chorizo Sausage Burrito w/ the best Home Fries ever (oh with blueberries b/c I didn't want bread lol) ! my fiancé got "The Veggie Omelet Delight, an Oat Bran Waffle, the best Home Fries ever (& of course, blueberries) it was all so very DELIGHTFUL! On their menus it says "Voted Best Breakfast in Memphis" and I'm just saying, I'd like to say that's true. Yall enjoy on your next visit.. read more

Really delicious breakfast. Got here about 20 minutes after opening on a Saturday morning and it wasn't near full yet. Got the Denver omelette and added Swiss cheese. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. I liked both the habanero and chipotle sauces at the table. The home fries were amazing. Yes, it's a very expensive breakfast, but we knew what we were in for and we'd do it again (just not every day). Only nitpick is that I went to buy a coffee mug and while I was waiting to pay, they had a mixup with an online order, which scrapped a bag of food they'd just prepared. I understand the frustration, but I was ignored and then brusquely rung up and ignored again. Not even a glance in my direction or a minimal pleasantry for spending $27 on ceramic that might have helped them recoup some of the loss on the order they'd prepared. Bummer, but not a dealbreaker. read more

Food is fantastic! Wait staff is friendly. Coffee is superb! Seriously, some of the best in the city. Get the loaded cheese grits!

Came hungry, left satisfied! Some key things about Brother Juniper's: BIG portions, homemade jelly, and so many options! If you're vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free there were many options for you to choose from. If you like the classic omelet, there's options for you. A great breakfast place that caters to everyone's dietary needs. Pictured is the Steak Benedict and the Potato Dish with sausage, substituted with veggie sausage. There were countless times where I kept wondering if real sausage was mistakenly put in. But it was still veggie! So amazing. Paired with toast and their homemade jelly. You can't go wrong. Also pictured is the Steak Benedict! Huge portion and worth the price. Not a bite was left (not pictured). We came on a Sunday and they used the Yelp waitlist feature, which was amazing! You can track where you are in the waitlist. Next Sunday brunch, you have to come here! read more

Always great service and food! A staple breakfast/brunch location for us for years now.

Let me start off by saying brother junipers is the absolute best breakfast you can get in the city of Memphis! Absolutely divine! Me and my wife got there 5 minutes before opening time at 7:55 a.m (opens at 8 on sundays) there was about 15 people in front of us already so get there early! There will be a line if you don't and up to an hour wait as the inside is pretty tight! We were seated and I ordered the Junipers latte, caramel, steamed milk and espresso (delicious!) my wife ordered the raspberry latte. Wife ordered the philly cheese steak potato bowl and I order the San diegan which is an open face omelet with bacon, mushrooms, onions, sour cream, feta cheese, and tomatoes. I can't recommend this dish enough. It was a flavor explosion! Service was awesome, food was amazing, best breakfast is the 901! Keep killing it brother junipers! read more

My favorite place in Memphis! This is the place I will make the drive for to introduce friends who have not tried it or those who have never been to Memphis. It has a warm inviting feel to it even though not fancy. They have a large selection of delicious omelets and scrambled egg breakfasts. They have pancakes and waffles but the thing I love the most is the cheese grits. They are so good. They have something for every taste even Vegan. The service is top notch It's a little pricey but the food is quality and well worth it. I can't wait to make my way there again. read more

Great atmosphere and quick service after we were seated. It was a busy morning, but checking in with the Yelp app cut our wait time down to 5 minutes once we arrived. Parking is plentiful in the area, but be prepared to walk a bit from your parking space as there is no lot dedicated to the restaurant. Portion sizes are huge, but the prices aren't. We'll definitely be back! read more

We left this place because they literally had every Black patron seated in a back room while every white patron was seated in their front dining area. Refuse to be a part of segregated service! They should be shut down for this, don't care how good the food may be it's 2023!! I would never recommend this place. read more
