Pinky's Diner

This is my favorite breakfast joint! Although I’ve gotten the healthy frittatas, scrumptious grits, carby Cubans, honest oatmeal, and everything else on the menu, my favorite order is the pancake sandwich. Yum!!! Their coffee is so good that they sell their own roast. Maybe my favorite aspect of this place is the atmosphere. One-of-a-kind quaintness just oozes out of this place. There may be a line, especially when they’re short staffed, so go early!

Amazing breakfast location in the heart of South Tampa. My wife and I stopped by today and had the two specials. A Benedict and a goat cheese omelette. Both were exceptional. The Hollandaise sauce they had to make from scratch and it took a little longer but was worth the wait. Our waitress was attentive during our wait time and kept us entertained. The coffee is self serve and they have three delicious blends. There are plenty of interesting things to look at on the walls. Our waitress was amazing! The manager checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. Truly good food I have added some photos of some of the interesting things to look at around the diner. If you're ever in the area it is worth stopping by to try for yourself! Good food good prices and good people to run this business make it somewhere we will always stop.

Went late on Sunday, round 12noon. There's a sign up sheet upfront outside. Obviously packed but a quick turnover indeed! All of the diners seemed to be very happy & understanding due to them being short staffed- but hey, they are hiring & IF you are Awesome you can get a job here if not go look the next block over (or something like that) lol ! (Signs) the staff was very friendly and the food was great! I never thought that a bacon egg and cheese Cuban sandwich would be so delicious, along with their rosemary potatoes. I also had the Jamaican Me Happy coffee blend & a small glass of OJ. I like their mis-matched mugs for coffee. I was given the owl 🦉 I guess to help wake me up! Whooo whooo.. 😉 I was offered a bar seat or a table choice. I chose the bar countertop. There are about 5 small 2 seater tables outside & 1 bench for waiting.. If you are looking for friendly substantial breakfast I would choose this place! The customer sitting next to me had the pancake samwich- looked decadent but so did their Benedict Sammies & fresh fruit. I noticed they also have soy milk & thank goodness for raw sugar!
