    STOP AT THIS ONE!! It is so fun! Unique! An experience! I have heard it said if you want good food, work for all the cars in the parking lot. The parking lot is small and it was full when I arrived. It is a house that has been converted into a unique restaurant. You are able to cook your own pancakes or a grilled cheese right at your table. Kids sitting near me are happy and excited. This place is pricey at almost $20 per person, but the coffee is good, the experience is unique and the food is excellent.

    We had tried to eat here a few months ago and the place was packed with an hour wait so we said next time. So we called on the way into town and they said no wait. We got there right at noon and there was only a few people there. Our waitress was very through with explaining the menu and how the all you can eat works and what you cook at the table and they cook for you. My son had the vegan pancakes and I had the buttermilk ones. They were very tasty. It was very fun cooking the pancakes at the table ourselves. The only thing bad about this vist was they didn't have any biscuits cooked and ready which I couldn't understand being at lunch time and not busy, I was craving biscuits and gravy. We will definitely go back next time in town.

    What a great experience! We went mid- week when we were in town for spring break. The kids loved it. We all walked away full. It's something worth visiting if you are in the area. The service was quick and polite. The pancakes were a delight.

    Fun concept. Waitress was super nice, but service was kind of slow. The toppings are extremely small. Photo is the size of topping you get for your “all you can eat” pancakes. Pitcher of batter comes with a small amount, so we had to wait to get more. Apparently jelly doesn’t come with the toast, and they don’t ask if you want any. Pancake batter is good. Food was all good. No “kids” prices. I would come again, but won’t make it a must do.

    So much fun and a unique concept! I wish we had more spots like this around the US because boyyy was it fun! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I love to cook it each morning. Being able to do this in a restaurant setting, date style, was AWESOME. The service here is great and all the workers are very kind. They offer pretty good toppings when it comes to the pancakes like Nutella, bananas, etc. I was able to get mix-ins for my eggs as well This spot is soo family friendly and a great place for a brunch date!

    If you are traveling to or through Nashville put this on your list of places to stop. A very unique experience. The staff is incredibly friendly. Side note if you a dissatisfied with your meal you have no one to blame but yourself! We absolutely LOVED this little gem!

    As soon as I saw this place on Instagram, I knew it would be the perfect spot for my girlfriend’s birthday breakfast. We came on a Wednesday morning, and there was no wait. This is such a fun idea and experience. It's like the Korean BBQ method/Fondu meets Breakfast. We both ordered The Joey, which is their more extensive breakfast with many options and all-you-can-eat pancakes. The food was excellent, and we loved it so much. I can't wait for people to visit so we can show them this place. My only complaint is that the griddle at our table wasn’t level, so the eggs and other items ran to one side, which was annoying.

    An enjoyable experience, but it's the little things that add up to a snarky review... limited parking, had to walk two blocks to get in. 45 minute wait to be seated (all good things for a popular venue), but about 30 minutes to received the food we cook for ourselves, the hist need to confirm with their cpa we received the right amount of bananas ( semi joking), the unlimited pancake batter was limited by the number of times they came by to ask for more, and finally, the bathrooms were not stocked for proper hygienic requirements. ninja edit.... wife says they charged us 20% extra for gratuity and they did ding us for the small cup of bananas they forgot to bring to the table.

    Such a fun concept! The waitress was very aware of my friends vegan restrictions and went above and beyond with it. careful going on a hot day cause the grills make it 10x hotter! So fun though and would go again!

    This place was amazing!! If you want a fun and different dining experience I would highly recommend this place. Service was great! They provided good instructions on using the griddle and how to cook your food. The pancakes taste great!! Definitely would go back again!! Don’t miss out on this place if you are in the Nashville area.

    Best time of trip to Nashville. Such a fun concept and making your own food at a restaurant is an unexpectedly pleasurable activity when you’re with your friends. Would recommend for adults not kids.

    Video popped up in our social media and it looked like a fun place to visit. We arrived around 8:30am and no wait for a table on a Tuesday. We ordered pancakes and fun experience at the table making them on the hot griddle built into the table. Kali was such a sweet server and took really good care of us. Overall, will be returning when we are back in town.

    Great family fun. The options for DIY pancakes are great and even better there are Gluten Free and Vegan batters. Pick your choice of topping and let the fun begin.

    Good place to go for pancakes and French toast. It is make your own, but that is part of the experience. No clean up or prep just the fun of cooking it. Great for kids. Gluten free batter and bread. If you don't want to go on the weekend when it's crowded, go in the middle of the week for breakfast or lunch. I am a local who has been going here for years for brunch before all the tourists started going here.

    The visit to this eatery is all about the experience. The fact you can make your own food is fun. The restaurant is small and alittle bit on the pricey side but the service was awesome and the kids loved it.

  • 3/5 Chris C. 7 months ago on Google
    It is 90 degrees in here! This was a fun experience but it is pretty hot and uncomfortable. Several things look very unkempt and filthy. Our server was nice and patient.

  • 5/5 Jill S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is awesome! The pancakes turn out amazing! My kids loved it and it's a lot of fun to cook your own. You get to cook some things on the griddle at the table, other things, like bacon, are made in the kitchen. Thus is a renovated house and is in a neighborhood. Highly recommend putting this on your visit list!

  • 2/5 Amy F. 7 months ago on Google
    The room that they sit you in gets superrr smoky with everyone cooking on the griddle, my partner needed to put sunglasses on of how bad it was. Areas are not kept clean. Dirty floors, walls, vents, ceilings, & your pancake topping is a whole 3 mini slices of bananas. Only good thing was the waitress, she was super sweet. First and last time. Also wouldn’t bring small kids.

  • 4/5 Jakeb K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool place in a vintage house. Cook your own food with all you can cook/eat pancakes. Very gluten and vegan friendly. Staff could've been a bit more attentive with refills, coffee creamer/sweetener, and condiments. 7 out of 10 accessible

  • 5/5 lexy g. 2 years ago on Google
    Uniquely Cute and different! Most breakfast menu items are make/cook it yourself. Most, if not all, lunch items are not. I loved this restaurant, it felt like home! The wait staff were very helpful, friendly, and informative. The restaurant has a unique history as well. We will definitely recommend to friends and visit again when we are in the area.

  • 5/5 heather d. 2 years ago on Google
    Found this place on accident and so happy we did. Absolutely love this idea and it was so much fun. The staff so very friendly and helpful since it was our first time. Very easy to do and extremely tasty. Highly recommend for the experience. The decor was so cute and felt very homey.

    Great customer service. Wait time was very quickly. Wonderful experience. Will definitely go back if in Tennessee again.

  • 5/5 Ingrid W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience when we visited Nashville! Quaint atmosphere, delicious bacon and pancakes. I had the gf French toast. The bacon was think sliced and delicious. I also had the mashed potatoes and egg. I was very satisfied at the end of my meal. It wasn’t a fast, cheap breakfast, but a really good price for the experience.

  • 5/5 Heather P. 3 years ago on Google
    This was an awesome place to visit! Highly recommend! My kids were hesitant at first about making their own breakfast, but once they tried it, they were hooked!! We not only loved the experience but the food was DELICIOUS!! There are also gluten-free options. I highly recommend this as a must stop if you’re looking for a fabulous breakfast experience in Nashville.

  • 5/5 Heidy R. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a fun experience for breakfast! Make your eggs, potatoes and pancakes just how you like them! For the experience and food quality definitely worth it! Parking is a bit of an issue once it gets packed

  • 5/5 Britt S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, love that you cook at your own table so if it's taking too long, your a slow cooker🤣😉 Whole family had fun and will definitely go back again.. loved that they had gluten free as well.

  • 5/5 Feresamay L. 2 years ago on Google
    Always have good experiences here. I love to tell people about it. They always go "WE cook the food!?" But they're intrigued and check it out. Always impressed too. This location is super cozy and inviting. It's in a fairly large house, and a very cute take for a warm cozy breakfast. Our service has always been wonderful here. The initial thought of paying to cook your own breakfast is always a shock, but the food quality is pretty good, and you can literally cook your food to how you want it. But the best part of a place like this, is the bonding you make with the people you take here. Kids can be part of the experience and be creative. And you can judge your friends by how bad they are at flipping a pancake lol. But honestly, the best part of making pancakes is cooking them. Making shapes. Flipping them. Adding things in. It's satisfying. And the batter is really really good too. If you're reading this to figure out of you should go here, go. Take the family. Take your friends. Take your date.

    Me and kid 8am $50 after tip! We each got the Joey You WILL NOT eat that much. It gets smokey and hot in there real quick. Friendly service. Fun experience but not the average daily breakfast place for a local.

  • 5/5 Dallas D. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    We had 4 adults in our group when we dined in. We all chose The Joey cooking combination. We cooked our own French toast, pancakes, and eggs on our table’s griddle. Though it was semi busy, our server took good care of us and we had a great first experience here. The french toast was juicy and delicious. The pancake batter and choice of toppings were ideal.
