Went here with co-workers after hearing how popular the restaurant was. The wait was not very long. All together we had the Texas Burger, Sicilian, Pastrami, and Chicken Caesar Salad. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We also go a slice of the wedding cake which was soft and delicious. I would definitely go here again but either get there early or... More

I always work during week days and am never able to make it here while they're open due to the limited hours. However, I cleard my schedule and got to go a few weeks ago. The location, while strange and in a warehouse building, somehow adds to the unique-ness of this place. It's unpretentious... the menu is written on chalkboards... More

This was my first time dining here. I was with a group of 10 people. We got there early at 10:30 before they opened at 11am. We had no problem getting a table. The french bread and dipping oil on the table was magnificent .I ordered the turkey provolone on a baguette, and it was the best I ever had!... More

I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with the food at The French Pantry. Their Shrimp Po'boy is awesome and so is their Rare Roast Beef French Dip. Gigantic chocolate chip cookies are good, too. It's always well worth the long line to eat the food.

it's hard to find, and there's always a line, and you're most likely going to be sitting at a table with people you don't know (family style) but this is one of the top 10 restaurants i've ever been to. the first time i went i was skeptical, but after 1 bite i was hooked. i can't say enough about...

Get there early because there are lines-we were there at 10:40am. Open for lunch at 11. At 11 place your order & get seated. Fresh bread, rolls & seasoned olive oil for dipping arrive at the table while your order is being prepared. When I say fresh, I mean just baked not your ordinary bread. Hard to find & in... More

Although I've visited here numerous times throughout the years I am always amazed at the consistent quality. The restaurant is small and cramped forcing strangers to sit together. The place is noisy and the staff is prompt and courteous yet not overly friendly. BUT their formula works! This place is wonderful! The flavors linger, the forced conversation with others is... More

The place has no sign just a line waiting for tables which is how you find it. You have to share tables with others but it is all worth it when you get the food. Why they limit the amount of seating and the hours of service is a real mystery.

It's been over 6 years since I went to this place with some co-workers, and it popped back on my radar through one of my wife's friends. First of all, be sure to make time to come here. I would recommend planning at least an hour and a half. There is a line out the door. Also, there is no... More
