Friendly and efficient service. Massive serves of food. The three egg omelette seemed more like six eggs! My husband had eggs Benedict and they were scrumptious. The hazelnut and banana pancakes were yummy - make sure you get a short stack - you won't need more than that! Really enjoyed our morning here and will look forward to visiting again.

The name "the Pantry" says it all. An ideal lunch stop with great variety and good classic American food. Outstanding and friendly service and good value.

This family restaurant offers good food at a reasonable price. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, coffee is great also. Patio seating with heaters if needed. A great place to eat in the heart of Santa Maria. Sit back and enjoy.

While visiting an unfamiliar city, this was a great choice for dinner. The food was good and the price was as well. Would recommend for casual family meals.

Very friendly restaurant on Broadway. The waitstaff worked as a team - very impressive. The Pantry offers good comfort food - on site prepared turkey (delicious) or meatloaf with gravy, burgers, salads, etc. Good cole slaw and fruit sides. We had lunch which was very good. The breakfast menu looked good also.

After a reasonable 15 minute wait we were seated in a large booth with extra chairs on the isle (They have most booths except for their outdoor seating.) The menu offerings a above the ordinary, with great presentation, at reasonable prices (great bacon, perfectly cooked.) However, it was their... More

We walked across the street from our hotel for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. We were seated immediately and the server arrived very quickly. We asked to move as the people in the booth behind us were having a very loud and animated conversation (they were lawyers and were talking about some unsavory things). We were accomodated without hesitation. We... More

I ate breakfast in the restaurant two mornings in a row and on both occaisions the staff was very friendly and informative. They tried to accomodate my requests. Coffee was good and quickly refilled. Sitting at the breakfast bar rather than a booth the chatter from the staff was easy and fun. It is located opposite the Santa Maria Inn.... More
