The food was absolutely amazing. Everything my family and I ordered was flavorful, fresh, and exceeded our expectations. There wasn't a single dish that disappointed us. A special shoutout to the gentleman with locs and glasses who was working at the front. His customer service was outstanding. He was friendly, professional, and helped create a positive first impression. Our waitress was okay overall, but the front-of-house service really stood out. The only downside was the wait. We waited well over an hour, closer to two hours, and the restaurant was packed. Parking was also extremely difficult. They do offer valet parking, which helps, but the lot was still very challenging to navigate due to how busy it was. Also, this place is pricey! Even with the long wait, price, and parking issues, the food and overall experience made it worth it. My family and I would definitely return and recommend it to others.

Rockville Centre has no shortage of brunch options, but The Pantry brings a distinctly trendy,…read moreartistic energy to Merrick Road. The interior feels elevated yet welcoming, with a cool layout and a buzzing crowd that makes it feel like the place to be on a Sunday morning--especially with the post-church rush keeping the entire dining room packed to the brim! We came in with a reservation, though be prepared for a bit of a wait at the door even with one; the host stand was swamped and sadly having to turn away walk-ins because of how in-demand they are. Once seated with a friend, we dove into a full breakfast spread--an omelet, eggs benedict, and the French toast. While the price point leans a bit steep for a morning meal, the kitchen definitely knows what they're doing: The French Toast: The absolute star of the show. Rich, perfectly golden, and cooked to decadent perfection. I genuinely loved every bite of this! The Eggs Benedict & Omelet: Super solid, fresh, and well-executed classic breakfast fare. It's definitely on the pricier side, but for the chic aesthetic, vibrant crowd, and incredible French toast, it's a high-end local brunch worth experiencing. I'd definitely come back!

Since getting the waitress to even take our order and attend to us was hard enough and the food took forever to come out, we decided just to keep the waffles. Note that there were only two other tables, us being the 2nd group to come in. The guy upfront, who was on his laptop when we first entered, was coughing up a storm. He had a real nasty deep wet cough, and at one point came to our table and started touching the menus on them to check them. I'm not a crazy germaphob but that was really nasty. I went to wash my hands in the bathroom and it was extremely narrow and the door wouldn't lock and the toilet wasn't flushing neither. They also kept the backdoors open, in the middle of winter, and it was freezing inside, so our food got cold real quick.

The only reason I'm even giving it two stars is because my ravioli and my boyfriend's Caesar salad were fine and our waitress was also nice. The real problem was the meat. It was completely tasteless. My boyfriend could barely eat half of his chopped sirloin because it had zero flavor, not even a hint of salt. My grandma ordered a burger and had the same issue. The meat was so bland she had to ask for extra toppings and sauces just to give it some taste. On top of that, either our waitress or the kitchen forgot her burger's lettuce and tomato, as well as the coleslaw that was supposed to come with the meal (which she never ended up getting). I'm genuinely saddened to write this because I really wanted to like this place. But if you're in RVC, definitely try something else.

We all enjoyed our orders, but my favorite was the Pulled Pork Hash. The pulled pork was nicely flavored and it was really filling.

The drinks all tasted great and we would go back for more.

Visit Date: April 28, 2026…read more I came to Kookaburra before my endocrinologist appointment. It was in my LI Cafe Passport book. I've noticed some reviews say they are cash only, I paid in cash but I also saw some customers using debit cards. I got my dad a bag of coffee because I have Christmas money I had saved to take him out and we only went to Panera a few times so I've been buying him bags of coffee from the nice coffee shops. I got an iced cafe mocha with half and half. It was very good, creamy, chocolately and it gave a nice buzzzz. The coffee shop itself is very small, most of the space is dedicated to their coffee machines and food service. There is limited seating outside but it's not a place where they encourage you to stay and hang out after you get your coffee. It's still good though. It's more of a grab and go coffee spot. They also have no bathrooms but if you ask for a bathroom they will refer you to the train station or the cathedral near the coffee shop. I would recommend coming here for coffee it's really good but if you're looking to linger you can't.
