If you like small local diners with a nice atmosphere, this is the place for you. The food was incredible. The service was great. I had the French toast, eggs and potatoes. Every thing was delicious and exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend Pinky’s to anyone looking for a nice breakfast

Server was nice and friendly. Place was small but something no one should miss. The ham Benedict was heavenly one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back and recommending this place

What a cute little Cafe! I arrived about 8:30 am and there was already a wait for a table. A spot at the counter was open so I grabbed it. The Jamaican Me Crazy coffee was delicious, as was the pancake sandwich! Service was friendly and pleasant, it was nice to see a smiling face because my date had actually canceled on me an hour before! I'm glad I went anyway because it's such a cozy unusual and unpretentious little eatery. I'll definitely be back!

The food is pretty good but not the best and the place is extremely small that makes the long lines and you have to wait outside with only one bench but they could improve this by adding benches

Writing this on behalf of my wife’s experience. She went there this morning with our 4 year old and 5 month old daughters. Walked in with our baby in the stroller (staff watched her struggle to open the door and enter with no offer to help). She asked for a table inside and was told there is a wait. Wife was ok with the wait but then was told to go wait outside and she can’t wait inside. So she did, for 20 minutes. She then gets called for table being ready, and woman rudely tells her she can’t bring the stroller inside. My wife was taken back and told woman that information would’ve been useful 20 minutes ago. Couldn’t sit outside in the heat and humidity with 4 year old and 5 month old. So they left. Our 4 year old even commented to my wife “that lady was not very nice Mommy.” Maybe be a little more considerate to your customers. Will never return again.

The smoked sausage scramble was absolutely delicious. The side of cheesy bacon grits was the perfect texture and flavor. I feel bad that I didn't get the waitresses name, but she was attentive and gave great service. Definitely somewhere I'll go back to

This is a great breakfast spot. All fresh, homestyle food, plus great coffee. If you want to sit outside, those tables for two are first come first served, plus they welcome your furry friend to join you outside. Inside, just put your name on the list. We waited about 15 minutes. Well worth the wait. Servers were friendly and efficient and we enjoyed our meal.

Fast, friendly & good food. Coffee was good. Nothing to write home about. They close at 1pm.Glad I ate before 1 concern. (11:45am Saturday): A worker brought in a dog’s bowl from the outside (customer’s dog) to fill with water (behind the bar). Yes, a dog’s bowl was brought inside to the very same area which she filled my, and other’s, water glass. Nor did she wear any gloves. Couldn’t believe my eyes.

I’ve been coming to Pinky’s since my son and I moved here from the Midwest almost ten years ago! There eclectic vibes are soooo welcoming! Ishtar, a waitress who’s been working there almost 8 years ALWAYS remembers my son through the years which means so my bro me as a mom. Their diverse music selection from RnB to country, to old jazz, bebop, classical etc brings us ALL together where for a brief moment in time we are all human. Go figure that!! This will always be my breakfast staple go to as long as I live in Tampa! Things to consider, the wait will probably be long!! But the FOOD is so worth the wait! Get the Jamaican me crazy coffee that’s absolutely amazing! Get a pound ti go to! Skip the chains and shop local! We heart Pinky’s ! Dawn and Julian
