A friend and I were having dinner one evening and after we were finished cockroaches started to emerge from underneath the table and began crawling toward the plates of food. It was so disgusting the waiter even noticed the sight and quickly grabbed a napkin and threw in on top of the table were the cockroaches were having a buffet.

"The Pantry sourdough toast is cut thick from very sour sourdough bread, and it is heavenly. The rest of the food is typical but well-made diner food. The toast is the little touch that pushes it into the realm of awesomeness...."

"The breakfasts—enormous omelets, very good bacon, pan-fried potatoes and thick sliced bread—are legendary. Lunch and dinner offers standard diner food, and on holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, turkey dinners arrive with all the expecte..."
"I hit the burger on my last visit, which arrived with no fixings, save for onion integrated in the patty. Mediocre burgers often get saved by tons of fixins and there’s nothing on this save cheese, so it’s pure beef really...."
"We gravitate to joints like the Pantry because they offer more than a simple anodyne to the homogeneity of the strip mall. This restaurant qua monument quietly chants the mantra, "Hey, if I"m still here after 75 years, you"re still here, too...."
"This is pretty much the prototype for the classic greasy spoon diner. They claim to have been open continuously since the 1920's, and we believe them...."
"The sourdoughs are surprisingly good~ I’m never a fan but I like how fluffy it is. The potatoes are very good as well: crispy on the outside and moist and non-starchy inside. I couldn’t stop eating them...."
