    The griddle
    Terry C.

    A very cool idea with wonderful execution. Recommend the Joey, which comes with pancakes, bacon, two toppings for the batter, and you can get biscuits and gravy. You cook it yourself (the pancakes). Also the eggs you make yourself. The staff was nice and always checking in. Wasn't a line which made sense for the time of day I went. Will definitely come back to this cool place!

    Cook your own pancakes!

    Great for the family! Visiting from Hawaii, we were looking for a premium breakfast experience. This spot was really cool with the idea of cooking the food on your own. The kids enjoyed flipping their own pancakes. The buttermilk mix cooks perfectly on the grill and makes it easy for kids to cook their own breakfast. The mashed potatoes are delicious when you make them crispy. The pancakes come with many toppings such as dark chocolate, white chocolate, bananas, and strawberry sauce. Highly recommended when in Nashville!

    Breakfast at Pfunky!!

    My wife found this funky breakfast/lunch place to eat at. It is celiac friendly and think of it as a breakfast hibachi. There is a griddle, and you get all of the fixings to cook yourself breakfast. It was fun and you get every ingredient you need. I let my wife cook first as she had gluten free pancake mix so there was no cross contamination. She said the pancakes were amazing and not gritty. Mine were great and it was the perfect start of our day. Give them a chance, good food and great service!

    I love pfunky griddle, and you just can't convince me otherwise. Yes, you make your own food. No, it's not against the point of going out... it's an EXPERIENCE. You come here to have fun, and you leave happy! Just make sure to go online and add yourself to the waitlist ahead of time because there will ALWAYS be a LONG wait time, especially on weekends. They have a small area to wait inside, but just be prepared for that. You cook pretty much everything yourself on the griddle at your table, besides a few select sides (like the meat). We often get the Joey, which gives you all you can say pancakes with 2 toppings, 2 sides, and a choice of meat. Buttermilk All-You-Can-Eat Pancakes: 10/10 - This is where it's AT!! The batter is absolutely delicious, and they just keep bringing more until you're done. You absolutely get the bang for your buck, and I honestly love getting extra toppings even if it costs extra because it adds so much flavor. I've tried the pancakes with m&ms, chocolate chips, oreo, Nutella, and peanut butter, and all of it is good. It's super fun to make and flip them yourself, and you can make them exactly how you like them!! Bacon: I didn't try because I'm not a bacon person but my boyfriend said it was better than the average restaurant bacon. You don't cook this yourself. Hash Browns: They take a while to cook, but here's a tip-Add extra butter to the griddle before and it helps a LOT. (Heads up for any Canadians like me, their maple syrup isn't real.)

    What a cool concept. At this place. you can cook your own food for a few of the menu items. We opted for grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. The grilled cheese came with 4 slices of bread and 4 slices of cheese. The soup was cooked in the back. Service was good. Our waitress was prompt. Seating is a little tight but it was also a Sunday so I'm guessing it's busier then.

    What a fun concept!! If you're going, you might as well do the Joey right?! Unlimited pancakes or French toast (gluten free & vegan available) with some sides and toppings. I honestly can't remember the last time I had a pancake so these really hit the spot. Only downside was it was pretty smoky/hot in the patio seating. Nothing a fan can't fix. Pro tip- join the waitlist from their website.

    A fun, homey sign!

    Date of visit: August 9, 2023 A friend talked about how fun this place was and once I heard about it, I knew we had to try it. I've been to places where you grill your own steak, but never your own breakfast! Staff was fun, if not quite as attentive as I would have liked. The food, however, was good. The batter poured easily and that allowed for mixing in our preferred items without issue. Butterfinger pancakes? Yes, please! The portions are pretty generous and when you add in all the sides as well, it makes for a hearty breakfast at a price that isn't too shabby. The bacon was excellent (we didn't have to cook that) and the biscuits--while not served warm--were way better than the "famous" ones at Loveless Café. I do wish that the side items came in more sustainable containers--I can't imagine how many of those little plastic cups are tossed out each day, filling up the landfill for centuries. Outside of that, the only other complaint I had was about the cleanliness of the facility, we sat by the window in the back section of the restaurant right after they opened and the windowsill area had clearly not been cleaned in quite some time. I was going to take a picture, but decided not to, it was that gross!

    It's just an OK from me, the three and a half star rating for this place is about right. The ordering is clunky, the table arrangement is not comfortable, and for a place that has people cooking inside there seems to be zero ventilation. It was very smokey inside and I wouldn't eat here and then go to a meeting or appointment; you'll smell just like hot griddle and food. We sat on the patio and the first thing I noticed was that our table was not level at all. This made cooking very challenging, especially the eggs. Everything ran down and to the left and I had to hold it with the spatula until it cooked. As for the food, it was ok. I did enjoy my biscuits and gravy and the pancakes were decent, but nothing here excited me. The batter here is way too thick and doesn't pour clean, so I suggest adding a little water to the batter for an easier pour. We ordered the kids pancakes, The "Joey", and the biscuits and gravy with two sides; egg and sausage. As we ordered, we we're told three separate times (without prompting) we can't share our pancakes and that we needed to purchase our own individual pancake orders. We get it, no sharing! To be reminded so often definitely took the fun out of it and made us feel like cheap skates if I snacked a little bit food from my son's plate. This is a fun idea in theory, but I don't think it quite works for this venue.

    Pfunky griddle is just as fun as it's name. It really looks like a super cozy shack or home depending on how you see it. Regardless, it's huge and can fit a good amount of people. I love the concept of unlimited and customizable pancakes. Not only is it cute, but you can really get creative with your food. The staff was super friendly throughout the entire experience. I genuinely enjoyed my time here. Side are fun, but very standard for breakfast add ons. Beware: you will smell like pancakes afterwards

    What a fun place. Being gluten free I never thought I would have this type of experience. It's like breakfast hibachi. Pick your breakfast items and cook it in front of you, at your table. I was able to make my own pancakes and cook my egg and potatoes. My husband went next with regular pancakes and biscuits. The staff was great, knowledgeable for celiac. The decor perfectly hid the fans to keep the temperature perfect even with griddles going everywhere. So glad someone suggested

    Overall, the idea of cooking your own food is really neat and I enjoyed the experience overall. The only problem we had was the fact that no matter how long we seemed to cook the French toast, it was still raw in the middle. Im not sure if the griddle was maybe not turned up high enough but other than that the food was good and it was a fun place to go for brunch!

    Yum!
    April P.

    Okay, this is the 2nd time I've been here. I took a family member who is visiting since it's an excellent concept. The food is okay, service is great! The price to me doesn't justify the food quality. I'm not sure if I'm the right clientele for Pfunky Griddle being local. I think it's a really cool concept to bring someone visiting, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here. Great customer service. The window or ventilation is not good. Our eyes were watering due to the heat/smoke. Tip: wear something you could easily change. You will smelling like breakfast right after.

    Service amazing. Pancakes, hot. Griddle, so much fun. Coffee, delicious. You could feel the childhood memories in this place. A wonderful first day in Nashville.

    Do they offer dairy free pancakes?

    Yes! There is a vegan option that can be made egg and/or dairy free. Banana instead of egg and almond or soy milk instead of regular milk.

Instead, they encourage me. They look me in the eye and say, "Another?" knowing damn well I'm a semi fat, zero discipline gremlin trying to better himself. The staff is basically my family now. Especially ISA. That woman sees me walk in and says "give me 10 minutes" like she's running my life. My imaginary ex-wife of five years NEVER cared that much. (I was never married, but I would absolutely propose to Isa behind the bar, mid shift.) This place is warm. It's comfortable. It accepts me at my worst. I love this place almost as much as I love my bed which is insane, because my bed doesn't ruin my diet, get me drunk, and make me feel seen. If i ever disappear, you ll find me here!

Once we were seated we had the pleasure of Nichelle, a wonderful waitress. She was on top of everything we needed or wanted and we had very little wait time for her return. Great service!

She even went out of her way to get me a drink that had fallen off the menu a few weeks prior, a delightful cucumber spritz. The ambiance is awesome. As others have said, music isn't too loud, just pleasant in the background, so it would be ideal for having a conversation. The space is open, bright, light-filled, and stylish. Parking is in a private lot behind the restaurant and they validate parking for up to two and a half hours. I wish I could rave the same way about the food. While the cocktails were refreshing and they had a cocktail for every palate, my steak and eggs was bland. It came out a little closer to rare than medium, but I can live with that. But I am not sure I detected a speck of salt or pepper. The steak was at least tender and the sunny side up eggs were cooked appropriately. The potatoes were dry. And I did have the wagyu meatball appetizer. It's a large portion, so easily shared amongst two or three people. Cheesy and saucy with a little spice. The focaccia could've been toasted a little more. I considered the short rib hash, but my server told me it could be salty and hit or miss (I appreciate her honesty and she 100 percent should be praised for it). I came during brunch (even on a weekday). They also serve French toast, desserts, oysters, burrata, potstickers and tuna tartare, salads, burgers and other sandwiches. If you come for lunch or dinner, you can also get grilled salmon, blackened redfish, shrimp and grits, pastas (cajun chicken, pappardelle bolognese, tortellini) as well as various cuts of steak. It's conveniently located right across from the Frist Museum and is part of the Union Station Hotel. I would try this place again for dinner, but would skip the brunch. And again, Savanna was top tier! She deserves all the flowers!

Famous for not having a sign, finding it may be part of the adventure, but once you do, everything else is effortless. Parking is simple--just pull up and valet takes care of the rest. With a reservation, we walked right in with no wait. The most difficult part of the evening was deciding what to order because the menu offers so many tempting choices. I selected the Kvarøy Arctic Salmon, while my wife chose the Springer Mountain Farms All-Natural Chicken. Both dishes exceeded expectations. The salmon was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It rested on a bed of greens with a subtle lemon flavor that paired beautifully with the fish. The chicken was equally impressive--moist, tender, and packed with flavor. What stood out most was the incredible smoky aroma that hit before each bite, making it even more irresistible. For dessert, the Blackberry Lemon Bread Pudding was the perfect finish. Soft, warm, and bursting with flavor, it was a standout ending to an already exceptional meal. From the outstanding food to the attentive service, Urban Grub delivered a fantastic dining experience. Make a reservation, enjoy the meal, and see if you can find the place.
