Mammy's Pancakes (sometimes called Mammy's Pancakes Chicken Steaks or Mammy's Pancakes and Beef House) was a 24-hour diner with three Birmingham-area locations in the mid 1960s: One at 2151 Highland Avenue, another at 1926 29th Avenue South in Homewood, and a third at the Cahaba Heights Shopping Center. The restaurant was owned by Jesse Todd.

The Homewood location converted to all-natural gas cooking in 1964. It was managed by Bill Wiggins and had multiple dining areas: A stately "Queen Anne Room", a casual "Family Room", and the "Red Lion Inn", patterned after an English pub. After the restaurant closed, it became the home of the Red Lion Lounge.
