Serving Nashville for 55 years
Efforts to obtain the pancake’s ingredients stretch as far as the hills of East Tennessee, where the finest speciality flour is carefully chosen and purchased in bulk. The pancakes and syrup is made fresh every day which contributes to the delicious taste.

The Pancake Pantry serves 23 varieties of Pancakes as well as savory dishes, sandwiches, and grills. The pancakes on the Menu include:
Caribbean Pancakes:
A natural delight! Five buttermilk pancakes surrounded by slices of banana, a handful of pecans, topped with shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and a cherry on top. Served with butter and syrup.
Smoky Mountain Buckwheat Cakes:
A dark flavored whole grain, which produces a fluffy, light pancake. Served five cakes high with butter and honey.
Sante Fe Cornmeal Pancakes:
Three stone-ground cornmeal pancakes with pieces of bacon, cheddar cheese, and roasted green chilies cooked inside.
Recommended with warm maple syrup to blend flavors, hot picante salsa, and sour cream.
Georgia Peach Pancakes:
Three lightly rolled pancakes, each hold a dollop of cooled sweet Georgia peach compote. Topped with more delicious cooled compote, powdered sugar, and whipped cream.
Sweet Potato Pancakes:
Five real sweet potatoes in a fluffy batter make this our most unique pancake. Sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon. We also recommend cinnamon cream syrup as an accent.
The creative cooks operate from an extensive Breakfast and Lunch menu in a relaxing and open ambiance.

Our experience
We dined at the Pancake Pantry as a couple and waited in line for around 15 minutes.

Busy every single day
If you’re dining with a large group, expect to wait for up to an hour at peak times, particularly in the tourist season. If you want to be served quicker, consider splitting into smaller groups.

Chocolate Sin:
Three of our light crepe style pancakes filled with a chocolate ganache then topped with raspberry compote, powdered sugar, more chocolate ganache, and fresh whipped cream.
