We had brunch here around 11:30 on a Saturday and it was an hour wait BUT Oh my goodness, the food was Amazing! -My husband had the chicken fried steak with white gravy (he said the steak melted in his mouth) -Mymeal was their signature French toasted Cinnamon Roll (perfectly sweet, did not need syrup) and crispy bacon. -Our daughter had generously cheesy eggs with 2 Giant pancakes. We WILL be back!! read more

We heard great things about The Pantry and were excited to try it for the first time, but the service was a complete letdown. We arrived at 9:40 AM and were quoted a 45-minute wait. We were happy to wait, but after an hour passed, we checked in. We were told 6 parties were still ahead of us. We sat back down and watched 12 parties get called before checking in a second time. It had been 1 hour and 45 minutes total, and suddenly we had "perfect timing"--it was entirely obvious they forgot about us. Once seated, I stayed polite despite the frustration, but the service didn't improve. It took 10 minutes just to get our initial coffee and water, and we were completely ignored for refills until our food arrived. We actually had to flag someone down face-to-face just to get the check. The food itself was just okay. It's a beautiful area and a nice space, but the terrible organization and lack of service mean it is absolutely not worth the wait. read more

Cute breakfast spot tucked away in Green Mountain Falls. What the place lacks in speed it makes up for in hospitality. I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon and avocado and my husband ordered the huevos rancheros. We both enjoyed our food. Would come back if we were in the area again. read more

Not many dining options, so I get it that it's busy. Waited for an hour for the food to come out. No explanation, no checking up, not even an excuse. They ran out of the soup of the day & didn't bother notifying us & substituted some random beef stew instead. Probably hoping we forgot what we ordered, since we had to wait so long. After hearing the locals rave about this place, food was average, so lower your expectations. read more

Homey and full of terrific smells, The Pantry diner looks just enough careworn to be charming. The space is small--the front room has only a curved bar with stool seating, and the one dining room has about a dozen tables covered with oilcloth by a Franklin stove-type fireplace. Fortunately the space is expanded by both a front and rear patio with additional seating and umbrellas--but that's not much help on an inclement day. Expect it to be noisy inside, and don't be surprised if you must wait to access the tiny washroom. Parking is out front, and there's sufficient space there. Breakfast is obviously a big draw here, and breakfast is always available. We opted for lunch and hot sandwiches, which were hearty and tasty. The mashed potatoes were especially good. The diner was surprisingly crowded for a weekday, and 4 servers were kept hopping. Unfortunately, our "A.K." apparently forgot to bring us our tab and to-go boxes, so we had to ask assistance from another server. Still, I recommend The Pantry if you find yourself in this small town below Pikes Peak. read more

Cute little resturant across from Gazbo Park. Service was outstanding, I think the wonderful humans name started with a T, not to mentioned her eyelashes were on point! But back to the restaurant. It is small so I can see there being a wait during the summer or on weekends. I had the Jenna benny, my husband had the chicken fried steak. We loved the gravy and hollandaise sauce. He even mixed the two together.. mind blown. Super yummy comfort food if you need a fix for a homecooked meal. read more

Fantastic experience at The Pantry in GMF! Abby and Virginia (2 of 4 servers) gave us attentive service this morning. Mark and I both love our custom omelets, country fries and delicious homemade wheat bread! The main room was really loud and full, but we sat at the bar and could easily visit. We both took homemade cinnamon rolls home to our wives and the rolls , after 15?seconds in the microwave, were very good! read more

A true American diner experience! We sat at the counter to get the full experience and I'm glad we did--we sat between 2 groups of locals who were friendly and full of stories about their hometown. Service was fast and friendly, despite it being a holiday weekend and packed to the gills. I had the Eggs Benedict with Avocado and Bacon, and a side of hashbrowns done perfectly crispy and delicious. The Benny was very good as well. My partner had the grilled cheese on sourdough with three cheeses and tomatoes. She said it was fantastic. The ambience is total kitsch with interesting chotzkes, bobble-heads and figurines everywhere. When we were in town for the weekend, the pantry was the only place available for breakfast and thank goodness it was great! read more

What a Local Gem! We were looking for a spot to grab some brunch and a mimosa and stumbled upon The Pantry on Yelp. When we showed up on a Monday morning, the place was already on a wait--clearly a popular spot! Despite the crowd, they sat us quickly at the bar, where they poured some impressively tall drinks. I have to start with the food, which was fantastic. I had the Pantry Omelet and got it smothered in Chef Dave's Famous Green Chili, which was a great choice. Others in our group ordered the French toast and couldn't stop raving about it. You can tell they care about quality, as all their bread is fresh-baked and absolutely delightful. The vibe matched the food. The staff was fun, and the decor felt cozy and perfectly matched the "Pantry" name. It really feels like a local gem. We'll definitely be back! read more

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere on the patio and server was fantastic! Great experience!

We had breakfast here. Homemade cinnamon rolls and biscuits, properly cooked hash browns and absolutely perfect huevos rancheros. My husband had the veggie eggs Benedict and said despite how simple it was, it was exceptional. Outdoor seating and great service. We will definitely be back! read more

Another great experience at The Pantry! It's been 6 years since we last visited. I was so glad to see they were still in business and doing well. This time we got the Cobb salad and grilled cheese sandwich with curly fries. Both were amazing and service was great. We hope to be back again soon! read more

It was great over memorial weekend good food nice atmosphere waitstaff good and knowledgeable!

Beware! The wait is long but so worth it. I ordered the chicken salad without croutons and in place they gave me more avocado. Who does that? It was so tasty with grilled onions and large walnut pieces. Fresh greens and honey mustard salad dressing Our waitress was amazing! 97%efficient, lots of energy and very proficient. Only one problem- she forgot to ask what type of dressing I wanted for my salad. That should never t have been a problem because the person that delivered it asked. What good is it to ask without delivering? Our waitress came though after I finished a quarter of my undressed salad. Prices are very reasonable and the guitar player enjoyable. read more

Green Mountain Falls is picturesque with its pond, gazebo, and surrounding mountains. The Pantry is a favorite stop for us for breakfast in the little town. The inside is quaint, but with nice weather, we like dining outside - especially creek-side dining. Weekends are busy, but the service is decent. Yet with the babbling creek, interesting decor outside, and a musician singing and strumming his guitar, you don't mind any delay. At this outing, my wife had an omelet and I had French Toast. After breakfast, the best thing is talking a walk around the nearby pond with its gazebo (where my wife & I were married over 30 years ago). And the drive up from Colorado Springs on Hwy 24 is gorgeous in the summertime. read more

I've been debating on posting this review but decided it needs to be done. I've been wanting to try this place for a while now, so when my dad came into town we decided to go. We came in on a Tuesday around noon and walked up to the "please wait here to be seated sign" which was placed outside of the restaurant. The door to the restaurant was open and I saw the hostess standing inside behind the counter working on something. She was standing by another sign that said "wait list here". So I figured since she was working on something inside she would want us to put our name down at this other sign. We walk in and immediately the hostess seems annoyed. She asks us how many we have, glances into their side room, then shakes her head and literally with her hands "shoos" us out of the restaurant. I'm caught off guard because already this seems so rude to do to customers, but we go back outside. Where the hostess then hits the "please wait to be seated sign". I told her that there was no one outside. To which she rudely said "she had other things to do". I then proceeded to tell her she didn't need to be rude and she flipped it sound telling us we were the rude ones. At this point I'm so upset, holding my 2 year old with my 4 and 6 year old standing next to me. If it weren't for me having hungry kids I would have just left. We ended up getting seated shortly after this on the patio. I texted my husband who was on his way and let him know of the situation. He immediately knew who I was talking about once he sat down with us because she was being rude to other customers coming in as well. The food was good. But after reading other reviews I would not wait over an hour for this place. The scenery is obviously remarkable. The experience was terrible and nothing ive ever encountered before. We unfortunately will not be back. read more

I absolutely love breakfast at the pantry! I almost always cook breakfast at home, but when I don't it's just a quick walk to the pantry! The Huevos Rancheros are on point with generous portions on everything on the menu! My guys go to are either pancakes or the ham and eggs! Nothing on the menu disappoints! read more

Absolutely everything I heard is true and more! Fabulous breakfast! Best cinnamon roll French toast I have ever eaten and I've had a few! It does get crowded but worth the wait! Very friendly staff and excellent service! They check back frequently to be sure your coffee cup is filled! Cutely decorated like stepping back into a small town chic little diner. Can't wait to try in the spring for creek side dining! If you want real home cooked meals, with large portions and reasonable prices you can't go wrong at The Pantry! I will be back! read more

Just a BEAUTIFUL outdoor place in the back!! Wonderfull servers, a creek running through it, lots of old wagon wheels tools, very quaint. The food was wonderful! We were there on Thursday about 12:30. I will come back! Very impressed.Beautiful and peaceful. There was also live music, lots of James Taylor songs. read more

We arrived 40 minutes before we were supposed to meet up with friends and the awesome hostess/wait staff, Tasha, let us put our name on the list! We checked back in every few minutes to let them know we hadn't left and they were absolutely cool about it. The restaurant is very small, only about 12 tables, and a bar with maybe ten seats, but it was lovely inside and just down home. Tasha was our waitress and was so fun and kind. She was very sweet and gave us tips and kind remarks. The food was out in just a few minutes and was delicious. I had the Pantry Omelette with hash browns and only added a tad of salt. My husband had the chicken fried steak with hash browns and bacon. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and was hot and fresh. I cleaned my plate everything was so good and tasted so great. That's a rarity for me. My husband said everything he had was excellent except the chicken fried steak. That was good but not great. One thing that impressed me is that one of our friends asked for a scrambled egg. When it was brought out, Tasha felt it was undercooked and asked my friend if it was acceptable or she wanted it redone? My friend loved it as it was, and devoured it. The Pantry is situated in Green Mountain Falls on a quaint dead end road across from a small park with a lake, gazebo, playground, fishing, etc. It's a beautiful area, even in winter, and makes the restaurant that much more enticing. Great restaurant, with an awesome staff (thanks Tasha!) but it can have super long waits so plan ahead! read more

Our airbnb host recommended this breakfast/lunch place to us as a famous place. In the summer there are only outside seatings. It has a very cute outside garden seating with really cool deco and a stream running through the courtyard. We intended to go for breakfast on a Saturday morning. What we planned turned out to be having early lunch. We arrived at 9:30 and told that the wait was going to be 20 mins. It turned out to be an hour and a half long. Minus 2 stars for the wait as it was just too long, and we ended up delaying our plans. The food wasn't 5 star food. 2 stars for the food and 1 star for the service. As I recall, their eggs were really good. Of course, we all had their cinnamon raisin homemade bread was buttered goodness. Our server deserved a star. She was very attentive, filling up coffee when needed. Perhaps we went on a Saturday, there was a long wait, but the food wasn't super good to worth that wait. read more

Popular local spot known for their outdoor dining area next to a stream and live music during weekend brunch. Blankets are available for dogs and humans if you feel a chill. I have never been inside to dine so can't speak to how large it is but is is spacious outside. Trees cover the whole dining area so it is a nicely protected spot. Had the pantry omelette with cinnamon toast and it was yummy and filling. Waitress was very friendly. They will normally have a wait or a line so you can't hang out all day but it is definitely a good setting for that. Not great for large groups as the tables are round tables and spread apart. read more

It's really nice when the patio is open and you can sit in the rustic setting and listen to the creek and small waterfalls bubbling by. The service is excellent and the food is tasty. read more

Food is delicious. I love the cinnamon roll French toast and the service is top notch!

The hostess is very bad at her job. Consistently lied to us about time and where we were in the queue. Originally it was an hour wait, after an hour we were told there are only 2 groups ahead of us. After another 20 minutes atleast 6-8 other groups sat down, we asked again and were still told that we were very close to being sat. Eventually had to leave after still not getting a table for an hour and a half. Never would've wasted our afternoon if told the truth from the beginning. Terrible hostess lies to customers, baiting them into waiting longer. Will not be coming back! read more

Great food and great service. One of my favorite places. Really enjoy the creekside dining.

This is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Chicken fried steak too. Also nice staff.

Came to the pantry on Wednesday for breakfast and it was a whole vibe! The food was absolutely amazing and the raisin cinnamon bread was to die for! Customer service was top notch and once we ordered our food, it was at the table in approximately 10 minutes. This was my first time coming during the week and I'll probably be coming more during the week this summer! read more

Cozy spot with homemade-style food and super friendly, welcoming staff! Love the little fire place!

You cannot beat the friendly service here- ambiance is great and food is basic but delicious- but the servers are BEYOND. So friendly, so attentive- and they must be irritated with all the tourists and yet they have a smile on their face and are so incredibly attentive and just lovely read more

Wow - what a place - absolutely loved it! Had a patty melt that stands with the best I've ever had; a great burger with grilled onions, Swiss cheese and perfectly toasted bread. Great service and the vibe in the cafe very pleasant. Thank you!!! read more

Had breakfast here... cinnamon roll, pantry omelette, biscuit, bowl of chili, bacon (I was hungry!), girlfriend had the sausage and gravy biscuit and an egg. Food was an absolutely phenomenal AND very fairly priced! The one ding is that when we got there it was a 40 minute wait for a table so we ordered at the bar - where we were told it was a 30 - 40 minute, and it was at least an hour. That said, staff was very friendly, went above and beyond, and the food was so good and so well priced I wasn't even upset. Great stop, just suggest you arrive 1-2 hours before you want to eat if going on a weekend. That's not a knock on the place, they are busy, and deservedly so. read more

Favorite restaurant of the trip so far. I have been on the hunt for a small local restaurant that treats like family and this is the only one I have yet to find. Very friendly, hospitable staff and incredible food. We sat in the patio out front and it was lovely. We were fortunate with perfect weather and no wait since we came on a Wednesday afternoon. I got an omelet with country potatoes and homemade biscuit. It was good, but I came hungry and could have used some more protein (Omelet was a little smaller than I expected). Hubby got a burger and curly fries and said it was phenomenal. Will definitely be returning before our trip is over. read more

This continues to be one of my favorite places. The last time we visited, the service was super slow and I had questioned whether this was a delicious place to eat or if it was based upon nostalgia. This visit confirmed, it is a delicious place to eat. The back outside area is absolutely wonderful. A tributary of the local creek runs through it - the atmosphere is relaxing and there are blankets in case you get cold. Their homemade breads, specifically the cinnamon raisin, continues to be one of my favorites. Hubs got the breakfast burrito with the most delicious and spicy sauce. They continue to serve the best cinnamon rolls. Think I will need to pick one up tomorrow along with my pancake. Yum!!!!! read more
