    Lovely staff. Very cozy place in Bartlett close to several banks, bowling alley, and shopping center. The food was hot and fresh. The staff was very helpful when choosing the best items on the menu. I do not recommend the dessert cakes...maybe they were from the previous day. I will be back again!

    The shrimp and grits did not disappoint. Creamy and cheesy grits combined with savory toppings. Chef's kiss! I was torn between ordering that and the catfish and grits so, I ordered a piece of catfish on the side for sampling. It was perfect! Seasoned well but not too salty and gave that perfect crunch at the first bite. Great music playing as well. My son had the pancake breakfast.

    We received exceptional service during our visit. Despite the bustling crowd that morning, we were pleasantly surprised to enjoy a discount. This thoughtful gesture made our experience even more enjoyable and memorable!

    Where do I begin. This was one of the BEST breakfast experiences we’ve had. The pancakes were made to perfection with the crispy edges. (the only official way to make a pancake.) the service was top-tier, very friendly welcoming, and provided some great recommendations. It’s a very intimate space but efficient. Customer’s never stopped coming in while we were there, but there wasn’t a crazy wait to receive the food or place an order or the feeling of overcrowding .This will definitely be my breakfast spot moving forward. Y’all our breakfast was so good (see the finished plate shows in our pictures) We turned around and ordered more food for later (had a big back moment but totally worth it) keep doing your thing. The high rating definitely lives up to the hype if you are visiting or you’re local, this spot is a must try not up for debate. AMAZING 10/10 -Chef Jess

    Got the shrimp & grits - it was absolutely delicious. I will say the wait was about 30 minutes but that’s standard for the best food. Definitely recommend coming.

    It has taken a day to digest our experience. They took over the old Momas BBQ. The place where I would take my kids for breakfast before school sometimes. The couple that have this place now know what they are doing. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. This is a locals' place. We ordered at the counter from a menu that has the owners' pictures on it. And YES, they were working. We saw an order of Catfish and Grits go out. The catfish looked to be cooked perfectly, golden brown and delicious, and it was a large filet and notnthe after thought we see so much. It was a lot of food. We ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, biscuits and gravy, the pacake breakfast (2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 pancakes) with a side of sausage. The pictures don't do the food justice. OMG good. Tell all of your friends good. Tell your enemies as well. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The bacon was crisp and not paper thin. The bacon has a the perfect thickness. The sausage has really good flavor without being spicy. The pancakes. It takes at least 5 years of cooking breakfast every day in a restaurant to master the art of getting the crispness to the rim of the pancake while aldo having the rest of the pancake be super fluffy. Now for the Biscuits and Gravy. RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!!!! The biscuits were crispy top and bottom with a fluffy interior that are a mix of fluffy, well cooked, and still slightly moist. The sausage gravy..... Did not survive our assault. It was everything you want in sausage gravy. Thick enough to cling to the biscuits while still being well cooked so that the flour turns slightly nutty and compliments the sausage. I amost made myself sick trying to finish all of it. How good is this place? This couple comes in, shoe strings a breakfast place together. Uses whatever they can that was already there. AND THEY KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!! And they live in the neighborhood. There is a sticker in the window that says they are locals. While we were sitting there we let friends. And family know about this GEM by teasing them with pics. So yourself a favor. Go today and then go again tomorrow.

    I was visiting home for the holidays and I’ve been wanting to try this place since I lived in Memphis. The food was absolutely PHENOMENAL and delicious. The shrimp was seasoned well & eating it with the grits and creamy sauce was such a perfect combination. The catfish was great by itself. The price was worth it as the portion size is good along with the taste and flavor. I can’t wait to go back and try something else.

    I absolutely loved my experience at the Bartlett Breakfast Factory! The food was outstanding — I ordered the grits and catfish, and both were nothing short of phenomenal. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was friendly and efficient, even with how busy the restaurant was. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars for atmosphere is because the place was very crowded — which makes sense given it’s not a large restaurant and clearly in high demand. Honestly, that just shows how good it is! I can easily see this place expanding in the future. Overall, I’m giving 5 stars because the food and service truly deserve it. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!
