🇺🇸 Nashville Breakfast Recap: Fido + Pancake Pantry

Visited two of the most famous breakfast spots near Vanderbilt University — originally inspired by Taylor Swift connections 🎶✨! Here’s a detailed review for fellow foodies and Swifties: 🍳 Pancake Pantry ⏰ Arrived at 8 AM — already a line of 10+ people waiting outside! By noon, the line was so long I wouldn’t even bother 😳. 🥞 What I tried: Classic buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and a side of bacon. 👅 Taste: Fluffy and well-made, but overall too salty for my taste (both pancakes and bacon). 💬 Vibe: Cozy, old-school diner feel. Feels very Nashville. 📸 Swiftie Alert: It’s said Taylor used to come here during her Vanderbilt days! 🐶 Fido ☕️ Went early — no wait. But heard the lunch line gets crazy (though not as intimidating as Pancake Pantry’s!). 🥑 What I tried: Avocado toast with poached eggs + latte. 👅 Taste: Again… salty 😅. The avocado was seasoned heavily, and eggs were good but not exceptional. Coffee was solid though! 🌿 Vibe: Modern, rustic, dog-friendly (as the name suggests!). Great place to work or chill. 💡 Final Thoughts: Both spots are worth trying for the experience and the lore — especially if you’re a Taylor fan 🎵❤️. But if you’re sensitive to salt, maybe ask for lighter seasoning. Pancake Pantry is a Nashville classic — go SUPER early or be ready to wait. Fido is more relaxed and better for a quick coffee or casual meal. 📍 Fido: 1812 21st Ave S, Nashville, TN 37212 📍 Pancake Pantry: 1796 21st Ave S, Nashville, TN 37212 🤔 Have you been?
