Average food, average service. decor needs some updating. Nothing special at all. Can not understand all the raves. I have eaten many breakfasts all over the country. This is just ok. Would not go back.

This is a very popular breakfast place. My husband and I went on a Tuesday around 8:30 am. The place was very busy, but there was no waiting line. We split a bacon and cheese omelet with cheese grits and biscuits. The omelet was loaded with bacon. The grits were wonderful. Biscuits were crunchy on the outside and soft on... More

My husband and I had breakfast at Brother Juniper's on a Sunday morning. We called ahead - 15 minutes before arriving - and were seated immediately upon arriving. It is in a small house with an overgrown-looking front yard. At first sight, I had a passing thought that maybe this was not such a good idea, but I am glad... More

This place is a must. Had to wait an hour but it was worth it. No reservations but you can call ahead and get on the list. Breakfast service was fantastic and the food was great. I had the special of granola pancakes and eggs and meat. My husband had the eggs with sausage in a bowl and loved it.... More

We went here on the recommendation of a friend who grew up in Memphis. We called ahead and got our name on the waiting list, but I'm not sure it helped much. They said it would be a ten-minute wait and it was closer to 25. No matter. The food was so good, we forgot all about the wait. I... More

I’m not normally a breakfast person, but my dad is so three generations of us stopped for brunch at 10:00 on a Thursday. There was a 15 minute wait – but we had been warned it could be busy. They eventually found us a table for 5 in the back and it was perfect. The place is friendly and much... More

Waited for an hour and twenty minutes. Pleasantly surprised. This place is THAT good. Try the P6 and their Hot Chocolate.

Well worth the wait. Timing is everything. They have a big selection of breakfast choices. French toast is killer and their home fries are some of the best I have ever had. They also have a bunch of omelet choices. We go there often.
