Really great food, the patio was nice to enjoy. Shaila was awesome and very friendly!

This food is absolutely disgusting my 2 year niece could make better food. . I had 2 bites and that was enough for myself. Would not recommend this to anyone. I would prefer to starve to death

I ordered the "homemade" chicken pot pie. It was just okay, wouldn't order again though, the filling of the pot pie was kinda gritty, the crust felt a bit doughy.The salad on the other hand, was great.We sat on the patio, which is lovely.The server was nice.Parking is kinda terrible. So will most likely have to park in a further spot in a sketchy area. Unless you luck out as someone is leaving.The Pantry has been a restaurant my family has eaten at for over 30 years.

Great food, for the most part the service was good, our bus-person worked hard and was there right when we needed him as he was attentive. Things went south when I over heard a comment from our waitress as I was coming back from the washroom and the total lack of appreciation for the gratuity. Tips are not an entitlement they are earned. Get over yourself.

Great little restaurant. Nothing fancy but food was good and portions were generous. Coffee left something to be desired but overall good experience. Server was very nice and polite too

Never again.Came here on the weekend and had terrible service. The waitress ignored us and when she did come to our table (after we flagged her down) she was not friendly at all.Food was very over-priced and small portions. A family with a couple kids should NOT pay $100 for breakfast!!! What is that about?!Probably the worst service I've experienced. Food was mediocre.I suggest you look elsewhere... wish we did.

1st time experience here was not at all good resulting to me just leaving. 1st walking into the front doors you see a full garbage can and dirty floor. Being told to sit at one of 2 tables, Both of which had crumbs all over it clearly not cleaned properly. The menus thats were handed there was crumbs falling out of them and they clearly were not wiped at all for a long time. You would think after going through a pandemic for 2 years that the cleaning standards would be alot better for a restaurant....

The service was lack luster constantly having to ask and re ask for the same thing until we got it (coffee refill or juice that was supposed to come with the food) . Portion sizes were small for the price... And got over charged for an add-on where they up charged even though we pointed directly at the 'addon'. To clarify, the drinks were part of the kids meals (it specifically said on the menu it comes with drinks ), as for the add-on as we ordered pancakes to add-on sausages was $2.99, however charges $3.99? In any case we don't live there and won't go back. On-top of all that the staff member wasn't very pleasant.

I hadn't eaten here since the pandemic began. It wasn't as good as I remember. The staff was new and not overly friendly. The mashed potatoes were only semi-mashed and the roast beef was luke warm.

Completely horrible service from the owner and staff, the owner was a complete d bag. I expressed that I was not happy with the portion size of my food and the quality. I did not expect $18 for A SMALL piece of lasagna, like a child size portion. feeling Completely ripped off. as he basically told me to suck it up. I won't be advising anyone I know to go here.
