THE BREAKFAST CLUB #BreakfastWithTheMacsAndZynns #ForcedFamilyTime Pro tip: Arrive early! We were the first in line when they opened, and it didn't take long for the place to fill up. That's when you know it's a sure bet for a great meal. The service? Friendly and on point. The prices? Pretty much standard, 10.99-12 for an omelet or skillet that includes home fries and toast. The food? A hit all around! My father-in-law, who doesn't dish out compliments easily, gave his Western Omelet a solid "very good." High praise, indeed! And the French toast? Four of us gave it a solid up! My BIL especially enjoyed the cinnamon toast French Toast. Soooo, it's safe to say the "fabulous batter" they brag about on the menu is, in fact, quite fabulous. Oh, and #TeamLimpBacon, another win for you guys! #supportsmallbusinessowners #SupportSmallRestaurants

First Stop of the Day was here for Breakfast... We Love supporting local small businesses and this one did not disappoint!!! Kit chose to have scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes and rye toast. It came out fresh and hot in a steel warmed bowl... I decided to have fried eggs, sunnyside up, with ham, breakfast potatoes and rye toast. I also ordered the bacon, fried eggs and cheese on a pretzel roll that was seasoned with SPK... All of the food was fresh, hot and delicious... Can never go wrong with farm to table ingredients to start a long day of visiting tourist attractions in Lancaster and neighboring counties...

This was a great little place for breakfast! The food was delicious and decent portions. It is a smaller place but the service was fast and everyone that works there is very pleasant. I'm not sure about other places around the area for breakfast, but I plan to go back and sample some more!

I finally made it to The Pantry! After what felt like a decade of trying to coordinate my schedule with their hours (seriously, who only opens from 8 AM to 2 PM? It’s like they’re on a breakfast-only mission! But I totally understand), I was ready to feast. The restaurant itself is a cozy little gem, and the service was so good I half-expected the staff to serenade me while I waited for my food. We decided to dive into the lunch special: a Pretzel Burger, and we also ordered a French toast. Now, let’s talk about that Pretzel Burger—what a masterpiece! It was so delicious that I thought, “I should share this!” But then I remembered that sharing is overrated. In the end, sharing backfired spectacularly, and we found ourselves ordering a second Pretzel Burger. It was like the culinary equivalent of winning the lottery—so amazing that I was convinced I needed two! Who knew pretzel buns could unlock such happiness? If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and make a trip. Just be prepared to leave with a full belly and a newfound love for pretzels. In conclusion, The Pantry: where breakfast is a lifestyle and the Pretzel Burger is a reason to go back... twice!

The Pantry is a great place off the beaten path for a solid breakfast. I love how most of their dishes are served in these round, metal bowls, which they call their skillet breakfast. It’s always a ton of food and very flavorful. I love the linked sausage and the potatoes are nice and crispy.

Had driven by for years and figured it had to be good because the lot was always full. Finally decided to stop in and was at first underwhelmed by the decor. The worn seats and tables certainly add a touch of shabby chic, but I'm here for breakfast. Server was very friendly, offered some recommendations, so we ordered. French toast sampler for me, pancakes and eggs for my wife. Food was out quickly and served piping hot. Again, don't expect some fancy plating. It's plain and simple. Now, the French toast sampler includes three varieties... Texas toast, croissant, and cinnamon bread. Croissant was good, maybe a little chewy, but good flavor. The Texas toast was better... well coated and cooked to perfection. The cinnamon bread? Oh. My. This was otherworldly... so much flavor, great texture and these bursts of cinnamon on the taste buds. Highly recommend, but realize you're not eating in some fancy place... just a smallish restaurant where the food is the star, not the atmosphere. A word about service... the servers are hopping so they don't have the free time to stop and check in with you every five minutes. That's OK. They are friendly and outgoing, and, most importanbtly, get the food out quickly and correctly.

I love it here! The pantry always has affordable, diverse, and delicious food. The employees are so sweet & they are always attentive. It’s kind of in a more low key area, on the side of a busy road. Over the summer, they have nice outdoor picnic tables to sit at. Stop by for a yummy breakfast/brunch throughout the year!
