Pinky's was great. We ended up here after arriving at Datz a little to late to order breakfast. I quickly opened up my Yelp app to see where else in South Tampa we could grab some breakfast. Pinky's was not too far away, so we gave it a try. Glad we did.
My wife ordered the eggs benedict. The eggs were poached perfectly and the fresh spinach and tomato paired perfectly with the dish. Using traditional bacon instead of Canadian bacon made this entree a treat. The potatoes were nothing special. A little fresh rosemary made them bearable. The toast is, well, toast. You get one slice which really isn't a big deal because you're already getting an English muffin.
I had The Godfather open faced omelette. Prosciutto, spinach, turkey, and tomato I believe. Tons of cheese and grey flavor. This omelette also had fresh rosemary as well and it served this dish very well.
Coffee is self serve in coffee mugs similar to ones you would find at goodwill or Salvation Army. The coffee was pretty good, albeit expensive at $3 per cup.
All in all, great breakfast. A little pricey as checked out at $32 (including tip) and change for the two of us, but it's South Tampa, so I think it's fair.
We will be back.
Love! Best spot for breakfast in South Tampa. Service is amazing and food is always delicious. There can be a bit of a wait on the weekends but totally worth the wait. Plus they have incredible coffee that is self serve. So you can grab a cup while you wait.
This is a very cozy diner open for breakfast and lunch. They have limited seating, about ten tables and a counter. The menu has nice options, and the service is friendly. I enjoyed the hot sauce bar as well.
You want that warm momma house cooking....the type of food that warms your soul....check out Pinky's Eatery!!!
Great prices with generous portions for every meal. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable & inviting. Place is cozy and definitely has the old Tampa feel to it.

Ps. Ask about the specials.
I don’t know who is back there in the kitchen making this magic but compliments to the chef! We ordered silver dollar pancakes and eggs Benedict and Cuban toast. Iced coffee, all did not disappoint! Service was great they work as a team and hardly any wait! We are locals and we will be back!
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!
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!

The name reminds me of my Grandma who was named Pinkie also! Food was great! Sign in sheet was weird for a place to eat!
Awesome brunch spot & Ishtar is such a warm soul full of sunshine and smiles! Loved our Cuban breakfast sandwich and bacon & cheddar grits with smooth Jamaican coffee❤️
Bit of a wait but the server keeps us informed on the status of a table.
Cute little diner.
Excellent pancakes and eggs!
We inhaled our food because it was amazing! The Italian Frittata, potatoes, and my little dudes pancakes were amazing! Great vibe, great service. What a gem!
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.
