History

Founded by my family in 1961, the Pancake Pantry has been a Nashville tradition for generations of families. I began learning the ropes as a ten-year-old, and at one time or another, the rest of my family has helped build the business as well. I’m often asked about our ingredients. We make frequent trips to the hills of East Tennessee to retrieve the specialty group flours used in our pancakes and waffles. We make our batter and our syrups fresh each day from secret family recipes. Many of our employees have been a part of the Pantry since my childhood. They’re invaluable experience is a major contributor to our success. In the truest sense, we are a “mom and pop” operation. We strive to keep our traditional past alive while cultivating innovative ideas to make the Pantry the best. We feel the same way about our customers. We cherish our long-time “regulars” and always look forward to meeting our newest customers.

Like my father, I am involved daily in the operations of the Pantry, guaranteeing that you will always find the best food, friendliest service, and memorable times. So, please relax and enjoy our hospitality. You are always welcome at our home.

Welcome to

Hillsboro Village

A Nashville tradition began in 1961 when my father, Robert Baldwin, opened The Pancake Pantry. The idea was to build reputation and menu around a variety of uncommonly good pancakes. Equally important was his desire to develop a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere which would keep customers coming back time and time again. In 1978, I became partners with my dad and eventually bought the restaurant from him in 1988.

Today The Pancake Pantry is part of the vibrant and growing neighborhood of Hillsboro Village.  Please visit some of our friends in the village either before or after you come see us for breakfast or lunch.

About Biscuit Love

We love local. Here’s a list of some of the suppliers we work with who always provide the very best quality ingredients.

Bear Creek Farm’s cattle are born and raised on 1,400 scenic acres near Leiper’s Fork, TN. Bear Creek Farms is a sustainable grass-fed, grain-finished cattle farm, raising all-natural Angus beef in a responsible and humane way. The Cherrys are people who are truly dedicated to raising happy animals and we are proud to serve both their beef and pork.

Beaverdam Creek Farm is made up of 73 acres of rolling hills, lush green pastures, and woodlands bordered by the clear-flowing waters of Beaverdam Creek in Coble, TN. The Lingos stay true to their guiding principle of raising their produce the way our Creator intended: free of harmful chemicals, antibiotics, growth stimulants, and GMOs. Their seasonal produce serves as the inspiration for many of our seasonal dishes.

Blackberry Farm Brewery has made waves with their saisons. From a refreshing summer saison to a Fall saison aged in oak barrels to their current offering, a moody, dark Winter saison, we are positive you will enjoy each one as much as we have.

Bloomsbury Farm is nestled in the hills between Smyrna and Nolensville, TN. While vegetables and herbs are a large part of the operation, their variety of Heritage chicken eggs are what keep us coming back.

Bourbon Barrel Foods started in the garage of founder Matt Jamie in Louisville, Kentucky. We’ve been enjoying and using their Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla Extract (aged in barrels that used to hold some fine Kentucky bourbon) to give our food even more of a Southern flavor. Their motto is “Slow. Small. Simple.” We think they should also add “Superb” to it.

Cruze Dairy Farms is a family dairy farm in Knoxville, Tennessee. They milk Jersey cows and bottle their own whole pasteurized Jersey milk and real churned buttermilk. And as their t-shirts state, we can attest that biscuits really do rise better with Cruze buttermilk.

The Charleston Tea Plantation is located on historic Wadmalaw Island in the heart of the Lowcountry of South Carolina. We fell in love with the Charleston Tea Plantation on a trip to Charleston, and you will fall in love with our sweet tea! It is an exceptional product being grown right here in the South.

Jackalope Brewing Company has been supporters of Biscuit Love since our days on the truck and as long-time fans of theirs, we are thrilled to be able to reciprocate! Their American Pale Ale, Thunder Ann is made with honey and biscuit malts which we think is a perfect complement to our menu and pairs very well with The Princess.

Helen Hooper-Hirst Pottery uses Tennessee clay to hand-make her pottery in her home studio in Lockeland Springs in East Nashville. In floating blues and iron-saturated browns, her work is inspired by the Tennessee landscape’s rich, natural colors which we enjoy each time we sip from our beautiful coffee mugs.

Weisenberger Mill has been “the baker’s choice” since early 1865. Owned and operated for six generations by the Weisenberger family, the mill is nestled on the banks of the South Elkhorn Creek in the heart of central Kentucky. One trip to this water powered mill was enough to convince us that our biscuits wouldn’t be quite Southern enough without their flour.

Grilled Cheeserie – Brick & Mortor? YES!

A Nashville Business Journal Business Article 
Adam Sichko Senior Reporter Nashville Business Journal

The Grilled Cheeserie, a nationally acclaimed food truck in Nashville known for its artisanal grilled-cheese sandwiches, is opening its first restaurant — in Hillsboro Village.

What’s more, the business now has a new co-owner: Fresh Hospitality Group, the rapidly growing restaurant company with at least 14 concepts in its portfolio mainly targeted at the emerging “fast-casual” aspect of American dining.

The Grilled Cheeserie, a popular food truck in Nashville, will open its first restaurant… more

The Grilled Cheeserie will open this fall in restauranteur Randy Rayburn‘s former Sunset Grill location, at 1801 20th Ave. S. Fresh Hospitality bought the building from Rayburn one year ago, for $2.7 million, and announced plans to install as many as three concepts in the building.

The Grilled Cheeserie has been featured on Food Network and The Cooking Channel — and ranked as the seventh-best food truck in America last year, as rated by The Daily Meal, a national food-and-drink website. Husband-and-wife Joseph Bogan and Crystal DeLuna Bogan founded the business after moving to Nashville from Los Angeles.

Most of Fresh Hospitality’s portfolio aren’t concepts developed in-house, but growing businesses that drew their attention. Such was the case with another food-truck-to-restaurant evolution, Biscuit Love, which opened a location in the Gulch in January 2015.

Fresh Hospitality almost always takes majority ownership in its deals. That’s not the case here: Fresh Hospitality now owns half of The Grilled Cheeserie business, said Matt Bodnar, a partner with Fresh.

Tabitha Ong Tune, a spokeswoman representing both parties, confirmed The Grilled Cheeserie expansion on Tuesday. She said more information would be released next month.
