Brother Juniper's is synonymous with brunch. As a vegan I throughly appreciate their tofu scrambles, the Fahim is my favorite but they have more than one option, and all tasty. The rest of my family, not vegan, enjoy their massive pancakes, cheesy grits, and breakfast burritos. I've never been with someone that doesn't leave happily satisfied. The service is friendly, prompt and never lets my coffee go cold- even on a Sunday rush. On occasion I have ordered take out and delivery and the food was as spot on as if I was eating in. Yummy food, reasonably priced, and excellent service.

First and last time. Service is good, but the quality of my food wasn't what I expected based on the reviews. I paid $2.50 extra for cold gravy for my barely warm biscuit. Who charges that much for four tablespoons of packaged gravy? My over easy eggs were perfect. The home fries were barely warm as well. I'm thankful her ham and cheese omelet with cheese grits were perfect.

ALWAYS a fabulous experience. Had a great breakfast and awesome coffee. They have consistently good food and consistently good service!! I highly recommend. Pro tip, use the Yelp waitlist feature! It is so convenient. This place stays packed (and rightfully so)!!!

I love coming to this place. I just found out that they have a virtual waitlist. Add yourself to the list before you even drive up to the location. Warning, parking is limited so you may have to park across the street. The wait times can be crazy during the weekends and early morning weekdays.Came here early Friday so the place was not busy.I ordered the Lamb and Garden Omelet. It was loaded with gyro, spinach, and feta. I also got the loaded grits (chives, cheese grits, sour cream, and bacon). I had biscuit. Be sure to ask for the apple butter.Everything tasted great.

Food was delicious ! East in and fast service . The price was very reasonable. If you like southern breakfasts this is the place to go! We will definitely be back when we are in town

The food was amazing. The Mexican Omelette was something different. I quite enjoyed it. We had the pancake and the Caramel coffee. They were both really good.

Excellent breakfast, set in an old town style breakfast diner type establishment. Friendly staff, adequate service, minimal wait time.Had the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes at the recommendation of my server. Comes with 2 large pan cakes with swirls of icing on each cake. Perhaps the ONLY pancake I've ever eaten without syrup since the swirls of icing were moist. These cakes are served with a small personalized container of Maple Syrup, which I sampled on Cake #2. Both the plate and top of cakes were dusted with a cinnamon sugar mix, which keeps the cakes directly off the plate, making them slightly easier to eat than normal.If I return, I'll be trying the Chocolate Chip pancakes, as this would have been my alternative choice. 4.8 Stars on this one. Excellent breakfast.

SOME OF THE BEST BRUNCH I’VE HAD!! Super tasty popular spot. You will have to wait but it’s as aspected. I got an omelet with biscuit and house fries. Those potatoes are phenomenal—slightly crispy, soft, and garlicky. Doesn’t feel as heavy as your typical potatoes for breakfast. Biscuit was tasty and pairs well with the butter and house marmalade. Omelet was super tasty as well and fairly large.

Seated right away. Alone, so sat at the counter. Good coffee, pancake special, bacon was cooked perfectly. Service was quick. $21.00 before tip. Will be back again!

Really delicious breakfast. Got here about 20 minutes after opening on a Saturday morning and it wasn't near full yet. Got the Denver omelette and added Swiss cheese. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. I liked both the habanero and chipotle sauces at the table. The home fries were amazing. Yes, it's a very expensive breakfast, but we knew what we were in for and we'd do it again (just not every day). Only nitpick is that I went to buy a coffee mug and while I was waiting to pay, they had a mixup with an online order, which scrapped a bag of food they'd just prepared. I understand the frustration, but I was ignored and then brusquely rung up and ignored again. Not even a glance in my direction or a minimal pleasantry for spending $27 on ceramic that might have helped them recoup some of the loss on the order they'd prepared. Bummer, but not a dealbreaker.
This place knows how to do service and they know how to do food

Been here many too nes before and it's always a hit. Expect a wait.service was excellent. Staff were kind, quick and friendly.food was amazing as this is one of our favorite brunch spot. Don't forget to get your home fries... they are simply amazing and sometimes I just want them. Wonderful spot that is apart of the local DNA of memphis.

I absolutely love the food and service and will definitely return when I come back to town. I spoke to some customers as I was walking into the restaurant and asked how the food was and they stated the food was excellent and they were right. The people were nice as well and the food was prepared quickly. I had the San Diegan open face omelet, cheesy grits, biscuit and cinnamon roll pancakes. The cheesy grits were a little salty for me but I loved everything else and I stand behind the 5-stars. I recommend Brother Juniper's definitely good prices, great food, quick service and polite staff. I have provided pictures unfortunately I ate the cinnamon roll pancakes so quickly I did not get a picture but trust me they were so good.

This Memphis breakfast institution lives up to the hype. It isn’t glamorous but it is a comfortable place to get the best breakfast anywhere. Everything I’ve had here is excellent from the biscuits to the bacon to the vegan dishes. Make sure you get a potato dish or the home fries. It is crowded in the morning, but 11:00 is a good time to go during the week to get seated right away.Vegetarian options: There are a good selection of vegetarian options and a vegan section on the menu.Kid-friendliness: The employees are so nice to kids! They have high chairs.Parking: There is some street parking. The lot across the street is reserved for customers of those businesses.

The home fries are as good as everyone says they are. Don't walk, run and order some no matter what you get!The steak Benedict wasn't as I was expecting but everything was very well cooked and filling. Definitely generous portions.We had no wait for 2 at 9am on a Friday.
