Excellent food, great portions for the price, and very kind staff. I had a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, my husband had a Philly steak omelet that came with grits and biscuits. We also had the hash brown casserole which is hash browns mashed with green onions, sour cream, and cheese then baked - absolutely delicious. The cinnamon roll is also a must. You order at counter and then can sit, placing your order number on table. Food is served to you once ready.

Worth a drive East and very handy for us as we headed East to Muscle Shoals. Be prepared to line up outside for the best omelets and biscuits you have tasted. Order at counter and find a table. Generous portions, bottomless drinks, low prices – leave a large tip. Frequented by locals and tourists alike.

This place is old school. You wait in line (sometimes it goes all the way outside) and order from the counter. If you’re dining in, they give you a number to take to your table and bring it out. If you order carry out, there’s a window customers wait around. I went for breakfast 2 days in a row. The first day I got the cinnamon roll French toast, which is a literal cinnamon roll cut into thirds and battered like French toast. Delectable. The second day I got the biscuit bowl. It’s cut up biscuits, scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese covered in breakfast gravy. It was a powerhouse breakfast. You can choose other meats if you wish. I also got carry out cinnamon rolls for the kids which did not disappoint. This restaurant was recommended to me by a stranger and I am so glad I went. It’s not fancy, but the food was fantastic both days and prices were very reasonable.

The service and the way they keep the line moving is impressive. It was busy as it always is and we waited in a line outside. It moved quickly, though, and we were inside and ordering in less than 10 minutes. They have variations on breakfast foods to order, just depends on what you want and how much. I had pancakes, eggs, and bacon. They have a lot of different meats and my husband had the sampler which was all the meats with eggs, biscuits, gravy, and grits - the average Southern breakfast. They do have sandwiches, but the draw here is the breakfast. The food is plentiful, but also real heavy. We had to take about a third of it home. I will say the bacon and ham were much better than what is found in the grocery store. Everything else was good, but not exceptional. I'm not sure we'll be back. The service was very good, though and I could give them a higher mark for this part of our experience.

When we moved to Memphis 4 years ago, Bryant's quickly became our favorite breakfast spot. This is a home cooking/ diner place, not an upscale brunch menu. My husband and I usually get the scrambler, but the pancakes and french toast are loved by our teens. The only dings on the food are the gravy, which is nothing special, and the grits, which are unseasoned. You can make them palatable by adding butter and salt (or sugar if you must) or ask them to add cheese when ordering.
Don't panic if there's a line out the door; it moves reasonably fast. Also, don't panic if you think you won't find a table. Bryant's has their timing down so that there's this alchemical kind of magic that the line and the opening up of the tables works. I've never not had a table available after ordering. Please don't save a table when it's busy. You'll mess up the flow. Also, don't forget to tip the server. I see people leave her nothing (because she doesn't take orders?), but she delivers all the food and busses all the tables by herself. She's always there and working hard, so don't forget her.

The great part is that it open at 5:30 am. The omelettes are large with lots of ingredients. You order at the counter and then sit down. The lines can be long but the food is worth it. Prices are extremely reasonable and the service is good.

Amazing place! There was a short line outside the building but totally worth the wait. This place has it fine tuned. You grab your own coffee when you come in and place your order at the window. Customer service was fantastic. The guy that took our order was friendly and appreciative that we were there. The lady working the lobby was also friendly and very attentive. My over medium eggs were PERFECT. Score!!! We had eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, biscuits, and grits. They even had a choice of French roast coffee. Don’t miss this place!

The new owners have done a great job keeping this place the way it was. I stopped in and got a bacon biscuit. The biscuit was just as good as it was the last time and the time before going back to the 80's when I ate here as a kid. Still have the self serve coffee pots and styrofoam cups right when you walk in the door as always.

Hands down BEST in Memphis. My cousin is a foodie and insisted on bringing me here as soon as I got off the plane. DO NOT miss Phil and his amazing team serving up killer ono grinds in East Memphis. I got the Philly Cheesesteak omelet. I will preface this by saying I don’t normally eat much for breakfast, and usually no meat. I finished the ENTIRE THING!! AND two killer biscuits with gravy that they brought with grits!
Do NOT be put off if there is a line. It moves quickly and gives you time to really look at the menu. They bring you your food after you order.
Say hi to Phil, the guy taking your money at the register. Cash only. Omelets, pancakes, waffles....you name it. Don’t miss Bryant’s.

Well it was the first time I had ever been to this restaurant, but the food was fire 🔥. The only thing I didn’t like was the man that’s taking your order and money had a really bad attitude. He rushed everyone and continued with his attitude before me with me and after me why? If you are in a bad mood stay home. I had the philly omelette it was really delicious.

Very busy place, get there early. Food is definitely worth the wait. The biscuits are the best in Memphis. Couldn't decide what to order, so I had the sampler and got a little of everything. This is a must visit if you travel to the Memphis area.

Bryant's used to serve really good bbq. Then they changed to a breakfast place. Not just an average breakfast place-THE best breakfast place! So sad they had to close. Prayers for the owner as he battles health issues.

I have always like this place, and things have changed over the years for what reason I'm sure ingredients and staff changes. Biscuits gravy, egg and bacon is way to much but great no matter the day or the wait.
