I work nights so when I get off work I am ready to eat. It's hard to find anything open before 6 AM. This place open at 6AM on the dot. It serves the best homemade, grandma's table, scrumptious pancakes and breakfast I have had in a long time! The wait staff was so sweet as well! read more

We didn't want to go to chain breakfast shop so we found this place. Locally owned and operated. Owners were friendly and food was fresh and delicious. There was a 10-15 wait time but it was worth it. Prices were decent. $40 for party of four; full breakfast plates. Worth the drive and wait time read more

This place has an amazing breakfast! We served fast, our food was hot! We did have to wait on a waiting list but that was so worth it! We got egged, sausage, toast, and hash browns! It was cooked perfectly! 10/10 recommend read more

Under new management and yet they don't provide to go orders. I won't be back. I'll just go 1 mile down the street to Bryant's BBQ on Summer at Graham for a fabulous breakfast with all the fixings. They are very nice and do take credit cards unlike the pancake shop. read more

It's just a little country breakfast spot. I admit it's been a few years since I've come. This is the spot to get pancakes! This is a long standing business in this community. They haven't gone anywhere in a long time and they aren't going anywhere soon. You can get pancakes anyway you want. And if you want your eggs cooked in bacon grease, they know exactly how to do that! I actually went somewhere that didn't have a clue how to fry eggs when I asked. You won't get that kind of ignorance here. The guys at the Pancake Shop know exactly how to cook. I'm bookmarking it so I'll be more likely to visit again. read more

Coffee: The coffee was a little watered down and purely utilitarian. (4.5 points) Biscuit: The biscuits were about two inches thick, which is kind of insane. It was incredibly doughy, too, but didn't have much flavor beyond EXTREME DOUGH. Bacon: The bacon was flavorful and had nice texture - a little crunch, a little give. Scrambled Eggs: The egg was fluffy, but a little dry. I can't tell if it was a powdered egg or a real one. Pancake: Since the place is called Pancake Shop, I started eating the pancake with high expectations. It didn't let me down - it wasn't ginormous, but it had a nice texture and a light, sweet flavor. Grits: The grits were super watery. I tried to add butter and honey, but the flavor that would have come from the condiments seemed to get lost in the watery weakness of the grits. Service: The service was kind of insane. I got called "baby" approximately four times before I placed my order. The food showed up about five minutes later and my waitress apologized for it taking so long. Atmosphere: The Pancake Shop is open 24 hours a day. It's got a homey utilitarian feel. I did love the Memphis in May Barbecue Cooking Contest posters on the walls (especially the one that said "Memphis: The 4th fattest city in America (we won't rest until we're #1). Price: The Pancake Shop is a lot of food for not a lot of money. My meal was $7. read more

This is a hole in the wall kind of a place with a greasy spoon sort of feel to it, but the food is good and it's open 24 hours a day. So no matter what time of day or night you are in the mood for breakfast, you can find it here. They serve your basic breakfast selections - eggs any way you want em, pancakes and bacon and sausage. The coffee is always fresh and hot and the atmosphere, despite the old and worn out feeling of the place, is actually rather homey. The servers are always fast and friendly and the prices are cheap. read more

I'd much rather step into The Pancake Shop for breakfast than some of the larger, more commercial chains. It's a small little place with alot of charm, and the food is delicious. Of course, I get pancakes with maple syrup every time I go. Not to leave hungry, I make sure to add a little side of crispy bacon to my order. My husband likes the Everyday Special, which I believe comes with toast, eggs, bacon or sausage, and hash browns. I steal a few hash browns from his plate every once in a while. The service is super fast- I don't think I've ever waited longer than 10 minutes to get my food, even when the place is packed and it usually is just that. Quick note- this place no longer allows smoking inside the restaurant which is a huge bonus. I've never been bothered from being around cigarette smoke except here- the air was thick with it. No more- yay! read more

The Pancake Shop is where you go when you want a quick breakfast, no frills or trendy decor, but friendly service. I recommend you keep it simple and order their extra fluffy pancakes or the smaller dollar cakes. I've visited three times and they were consistently good. Don't forget your dollar bills because this local love doesn't accept credit cards! read more

Very quick service and the pancakes were nice and fluffy. The food also came out really quick. We got the sausage crumble pancake and eggs and hash browns that were good. Building is a little old but the food and prices that are cheap make up for it. The wait time was also very quick even though we had five groups in front of us because of how quickly food is delivered I presume read more

I'm going four stars based on now years of eating here. Food is always hot and good. Meat and twos are always good at lunch and the ladies always do a great job with service! Is this a four star fine dining establishment? No but it is every bit of a four star greasy spoon! Like the Shop. Have eaten here several times and always enjoyed the food. The ladies are nice and help each other out when needed. It can be very busy on the weekends! Omelets and pancakes are two of our favorites here and it seems like you get what you pay for. The banana pancakes are fantastic! Great place for the morning after a few too many! NOTE- the chicken and dumplings for lunch on Wednesday are homemade and very good! read more

Just good food. Chicken fried steak. Omelettes. Biscuits and Gravy. All good. Really reasonable prices. The atmosphere is a little old school- not as clean as it could be but I appreciate the BSMF decor ... Also the servers are sweet but sometimes forget about ya... Also, overheard a 36 minute conversation a group of older folks were having about ladders. I feel as though this perfectly exemplifies the vibe of the place lol. read more

Can only give 1 star. Stopped in recently to place a to go order. Owner, I think, certainly the manager, very rude.... "we have 15 people waiting, and you want a to go order. No, we're not taking any". She then gave me a to go menu for the next time. WTF. Why give me a to go order if you don't do to go orders when your busy. Skip the attitude, go to Bryant's, pay a little more, but they appreciate your business, not like this place. read more

This is a great little breakfast place off of Summer Ave. Food: The food was very tasty with enormous portions. I had the country fried steak breakfast, which came with two eggs, hashbrowns, and two biscuits. I was able to finish about 3/4 of the plate and was stuffed. The gravy for the CFS was delicious, the scrambled eggs were a little overcooked. Otherwise, a very standard southern breakfast. My brother had the sausage crumble pancakes, which were pancakes with sausage cooked into the batter. They were incredible, pancakes light and fluffy and the sweetness contrasted with the sausage was perfect. His kids (both 4) shared a 3 pancake, egg and bacon plate. They were nice enough to accommodate us by giving them 6 dollar sized pancakes rather than 3 large pancakes. Price: Three meals plus a coffee cost $22.50. An excellent value for the amount of food we received. Service: Since we went on a Saturday morning, it was very busy, but the line went quick and our waitress was very attentive. Ambiance: It certainly looks like an old timey breakfast place. Lots of Memphis stuff on the wall, which is a great addition. A word of warning. It's straight cash, homie, no cards. Good food, healthy portions, reasonable price. What more can you want? 4 stars. read more

My experience at this restaurant wasn't pleasant at all. From the food to the customer service. I ordered the regular burger with fries, my burger was cold when it delivered and the patty split in half , everything fall apart when I held my burger up. The waitress did NOT care about our existence in the shop. Never asked how we're doing or the food tasting. I would never come back. First time and also last. Dirt and dust everywhere Bad customer service Cold food (Frozen) Mc Donald is better. read more

I loooove this place I come here all the time with my girlfriend. They're open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday so when we want a nice dinner we normally come here on the weekends. The staff is amazing they are so sweet. The decor adds to the experience it's a nice place to stop if you're visiting Memphis or just hungry. They even decorate for holidays! The food is great they serve breakfast and lunch around the clock and the food quality is always consistent. Only thing to remember before coming is that they're a cash only restaurant but they have an atm. The food isn't pricey normally I just make sure to bring at least $20 and that covers me and my girlfriend! read more

Good service. Always fresh. Tremendous value and prices you cannot beat. The bacon is perfectly cooked!

The waitress was rude and then the workers come out and argued with me like I didn't know what the difference of season fries was

Thought I would like this local place I've always wanted to try, but I will not be coming back. Went here with my mom. Took a while to get served, but we eventually were. Our waitress was nice enough, but after we got our food she did not check on us at all. We went up to pay and found out that it was cash only by what seemed to be the boss/manager. She was extremely rude to us. My mom was so mad she just left a $20 on the counter and left even though our bill was less than that. I admit, the food was good. Heads up though, the strawberry pancakes are not just pancakes with strawberries like I thought. They have strawberry spread on top. But yeah, good food, terrible service. read more

I ordered a quick late night breakfast here. I had two eggs, sausage, and a waffle. Despite me ordering 5 minutes before closing, I was still served a to go order promptly. Nothing exceptional with what I ordered. The prices are very reasonable. read more

Good pancakes. Reasonably priced breakfast. Definitely worth a try. I enjoyed it. I will be back.

The staff is so nice. Food is delicious. Very relaxed and laid back atmosphere. Definitely the new go-tspot for me

Great food and service always clean place.Price isn't bad either.Normally not to busy to get in

We've eaten there several times. Reason for 3 stars is because the food is ALWAYS great. Always. Great portions for the price too. Took two stars away because we tried to eat there when they were first supposed to open at 6am and were told there wasn't a cook, lol. We left and came back home and called them after about hour. We were told that the cook just got there and that the equipment is old and takes a while to heat up AND they have to prep the food so it'd be a few hours. If the cook was on time, seems like we still would've had to wait a while. read more

Tried to dine here, sign said seat yourself. There were empty seats but tables stacked with dirty dishes. I was by myself and sat at a table for 8 because it was the only clean one. After 10 minutes, no employee ever acknowledged that I was even there. So, I left and will never return. read more

Great Portions, Love the servers and cooks!! The pancakes are always huge and delicious.

Horrible experience. Out of town, looking for a nice spot for breakfast and we walk in without being greeted or told by waitresses walking back and forth that we are supposed to seat ourselves. I finally stopped a waitress and asked her if it was self-seating and she rudely said yes and walked off. I found that extremely rude and unprofessional, so my party and I left. Regarding the appearance, it's a small restaurant and didn't look clean inside. There were numerous tables with dirty dishes sitting with no one clearing them off. So even if we had sat ourselves, it would've been at a dirty table. Not a good experience and will not be back. Not a good impression Memphis. read more

Very nasty place. The wait staff was very rude. The only thing worse than the wait staff was who I assume to be the manager. The place was so bad that we did not even wait on our food. We were so offended by the treatment of the manager that we just left and went to eat elsewhere. read more
