First time here! I had the chicken salad with walnuts and grapes in a spinach wrap, my husband had a hot honey pulled chicken in a spinach wrap, and we tried the fries. Everything tasted fresh and the service was quick and delightful. Great stop off of 84, and we'll be back to try their fried chicken, as that also looked so yummy! read more

Hands-down, the best fried chicken around and their grilled Reuben is outstanding. I've been frequenting Patty's Pantry for well over 25 years now and can testify that you'll not be disappointed. Gani and Nora go out of their way to make you feel welcomed... they are absolute gems! read more

Wow...different owners or something! Who doesn't make roast beef sandwich? Been coming here since patty owned it....such a disappointment read more

Patty's is a gem for locals and highway travelers alike. Here is my list of go to favorites. Fried chicken has to be number one! I order the tenders for my Mardi Gras theme party every spring. Second favorite is the Chicken Apple Walnut salad. The surprise tang of the grapes is phenomenal! Breakfast is a toss up between the homemade yogurt with granola or a classic Double egg cheese and bacon sandwich. The rolls are high quality and always fresh. Patty's Pantry is always a special treat for me! read more

Much to expensive for the dry, over salted chicken that was so full on tendons I had to pick my teeth clean ... No thanks.. and my soda was barely cool.. read more

Random roadside stop for a bite to eat turned into a delicious discovery. I had stopped for gas on a recent road trip and this very unassuming place was right next door. This spot is clearly a local favorite. Lots of folks ordered their fried chicken which looked super crispy and meaty...and their grilled cheese. I opted for an Italian grinder which was loaded with fresh meat, lettuce and tomato. Was not expecting Mayo with the oil and vinegar as a condiment. I think I would have preferred it without the Mayo but it was still outstanding. The service was quick and friendly. There were so many tasty treats in the case from salads to dessert. I did grab a jalapeño and bacon Mac and cheese on a whim and I'm glad I did. So good! There's no place to sit inside but there are picnic tables just out front. This spot exceeded my expectations and is definitely worth a very minor detour off the highway. read more

Patty's is the best local shop for sandwiches, breakfast and lunch. Very convenient, fast friendly staff and what a selection of food for a smaller shop. Patty's is so good, the state should put one of their signs on the highway as a local historic spot to stop at. Try it, you will like it. read more

I've been coming to the store since I was a little kid. I would have to say it's one of the best sandwich shops in this area. I recommend the pantry melt. It is delicious. read more

This place is just off I-84 and despite its rather unassuming vibe the food is excellent. I was on my way to Southford Falls Park and stopped by for a bite. The classic crispy chicken sandwich was delicious! It's actually hard to make crispy chicken well, it's often either not crispy or tastes like cardboard. Well done. read more

Off work early?! Patty's it is! My favorite place for lunch or dinner! Fried chicken? AMAZING! Potatoes? PHENOMENAL! and the fresh fruit this time of year?! TO DIE FOR!! You won't regret checking them out! Little pantry, Big heart(and flavor)!!! read more

Love this place. Just had an incredible egg sandwich on a gluten free roll. Didn't realize they make them in house until after I ordered. It was awesome! Super convenient location too. read more

I love my burger just plain and slim enough for me to get my mouth around - and Patty's nails it. Very tasty - good beef - excellent

Been coming here for years sadly not coming here anymore. All I wanted today was a bologna and cheese on wheat. Not the fault of the staff but no bologna. Ok, I will have a turkey and cheese on wheat, no wheat bread. This is where I ended and cost me $9.60. It literally was all wrap and three pieces of turkey. If you are looking for a major let down and disappointment give it a try. read more

Happy, polite staff. I had coffee and a piece of coffee cake. Super moist! Freaking yum. Coffee was good, directions were followed by friendly staff member. I have eaten their breakfast in the past. Service was exemplary. I have high expectations, and they exceeded them. Freshly made every morning. Owners are generous, kind, and humble. A bajillion thumbs up! read more

Sorry but this was one of the most tasteless bagels I have ever had. It was supposed to be an everything bagel but it tasted like hard bread. The filling also didn't have much taste which was sausage, egg, and cheese. The service was fine however the food could have been so much better. If I am ever in that area, I would prefer to find a Dunkin or somewhere else to eat. read more

I love this place for grab and go food not just sandwiches or fried chicken. I am obsessed with the chicken salad, I could eat it everyday and they make a bunch of different varieties, also the bean salads, so good! The brownies, cookies, breakfast bars, rice pudding and my absolute favorite the banana bread are also amazing. This is a well run place with the most friendly people! read more

Fried Chicken was bomb, hand cut fries bomb, I had 2 brownies BOMB! Wonderful service the staff was very friendly. Hidden GEM! We'll be back again! read more

I had a ham egg and cheese on a hard roll asked for toasted pepper and ketchup. You pay eight dollars for a small drink and a sandwich one egg by the way you gotta pay $1.60 for an extra egg and it doesn't even come out right they didn't even put the ketchup and pepper on Sorry but you're spending good money. It should be the way you want it definitely not Burger King. read more

I stopped by about 10 minutes before closing. The grills had already been shut off and cleaned. I really appreciated that they were willing to turn them back on if I wanted a hot sandwich, etc. I ended up ordering a cold sub/grinder and it was really good! read more

Great Chicken! Burgers and mac & cheese Cole slaw French fries sandwiches worth the trip right off Route 84 in CT near Southbury

We were headed to Southford Falls State Park and found this deli as we exited off I-84. There is a wide selection of sandwiches available as well fried chicken so it took awhile to settle on an Italian cold cut grinder. Overall the grinder was good, but pricey given the limited amount of meat that was included. Currently there is no inside seating so most orders are taken to go. Fortunately, it was a sunny day and one of the outside picnic tables was available. read more

Just off exit 16 on I84 in CT is Patty's. We first discovered it when we statist the hotel next door and have made it a stop on our journeys Recently we stopped and had their chicken tenders and 2 pasta salads. All were good. We also bought an order of tiramisu - huge! And delicious! We'll stop again on our next trip through read more

The BIG QUESTION IS HOW DOES THIS PLACE GET 3 STARS??? Worst Fried Chicken I have ever tried to eat. I say tried to eat because it was THAT BAD!! Overcooked, oversalted, basically terrible!! In addition we bought Cole slaw and Red potato salad. The cole slaw was not good and the Red Potato salad was worse. They used dried dill and way too much. Plus the service was poor to midling. I wish there was somewhere in the Southbury, Oxford, or Middlebury area that had Fried chicken on the menu. It turns out NO restaurant anywhere in the area has it on the menu which is unfortunate since we love fried chicken especially southern fried chicken read more

Easy to get on and off the highway but no restroom. Stopped for a breakfast sandwich. Next time I drive by at lunch I'll stop in and try the fried chicken. Smells amazing read more

Stopped quickly for chicken. Heard it was the best of the best. I have had better but it was good. Just had very high expectations

The fried chicken will satisfy your taste buds! Really flavorful and good! Crispy on the outside and tender on the meat! We will go back to Patty's for stopover lunch every time we go to MA. Service was great too! Tables and chairs helped us dine comfortably. read more

I am so disappointed when this happens! Tons of great reviews about how magnificent food and staff are, and we didn't get that experience at all!!! Went there on a Sunday and it wasn't busy. we ordered a fried chicken meal. Girl at the counter was so busy rushing, paid no mind to request we made about pieces we wanted. Packed the boxes and gave us no ketchup for fries and had to go back and ask. So customer service for us was not great....time to discuss grub. Chicken honestly was super moist-that's it-no flavor as a matter of fact, oil it was fried in tasted old and proved to be hours later when it repeated on the husband. Cole slaw was absolutely disgusting...doused with what I believe to be Miracle whip and nothing else. Fries and that fried baked potato were just ok. Cannot even say we didn't eat it fresh because we ate it as soon as we got in the car. Have heard about this place for years and now I honestly do not know why! Chicken is just moist and fried and has absolutely no flavor-does not constitute for great fried chicken-Popeyes is far better but the service is about the same! Not for me and won't go back! read more

I just ordered a chicken cutlet on a wrap . I got a thin, hard .dry ,cold tiny piece of chicken disgusting .I would be embarrassed to make this for a customer . I paid probely 9.00 a wrap and ordered 2 husband same thing . Who ever is making your sandwiches is gonna lose you business .I will never order again from you . Let's just say I had a veggie wrap . And not gonna drive back there after I get home way to far. I don't get why you would not make a quality sandwich . If I opened this before I went home I would if bright it back in . read more

Stop by this morning for a sandwich, when I left I smelled like I was frying eggrolls all day, DO THEY HAVE A FAN? Ok, so got an egg sandwich, ok. But the rolls are so big the eggs n sausage get lost. So I over heard an employee is getting tested because they volunteer at Danbury Hospital!!!! HELL, HELLO? read more

My experience here is not extensive. But I know how difficult it can be to decide on where to go and what to get... Patty's Pantry offers wonderful Fried Chicken which is honestly, all I can speak to. It's tasty, crisp, and notably not greasy! Easy to serve, wonderful to eat and quick to clean up. Curb side pick up makes it easy to order, pay and roll. Enjoy! read more

Travelers and folks coming off the highway: beware! Spend your money elsewhere! I just recently started working in the area and this place is the closest to my job I've been here about 4 or 5 times and every time has been pretty awful. The man who I assume owns or at least manages this place is extremely rude and unfriendly (the rest of the staff seems fine). I tried ordering an egg and cheese today, not knowing breakfast sandwiches stop at 11am, and he actually wagged his hand in my face like I was a child and goes, "no, no you can't." I thought he was joking at first because surely, nobody would be that rude towards someone asking politely for a sandwich, but no, he was dead serious. I opted for on of their "Specials" instead, a tomato, mozzarella and pesto sandwich--which was an oily, soggy disaster--and paid nearly $7 for it. Definitely the last time I'm going here; I'd honestly rather go to Dunkin' Donuts. read more

Stopped in this afternoon on our way back from Jersey -- we were hungry and couldn't make it all the way back to Bristol w/o stopping someplace for a bite to eat. Well, I'm sorry to report, the quality at Patty's Pantry has taken a serious nosedive since our last visit. I ordered a meatball sandwich (on a hard roll) for $5.99 -- meatballs were bland, flavorless. My wife had the quarter of a pound size of chicken salad -- again, bland, lacking any hint of flavor. We shared a bag of small chips, a large cookie and a Diet Coke. Total bill was $16.95, felt I got ripped-off. "Highway robbery" if I wanted to be funny, but I really didn't find it to be that funny. Any supermarket would've had better quality food at their deli and it would've cost less. Also, the woman who rang my up, just took my $$$ and didn't say a word -- no "thanks", or "have a good day", nothing. Bland, just like the food. I'm done with Patty's Pantry after this experience. They do a brisk business there off exit 16, so I'm sure they won't miss my visits anyway. read more

Food was okay, service was okay, but the building is in need of repair. Nothing was amazing but we didn't have high expectations.

Talk about stumbling upon a place. Only reason I was even here is because we happened to pull off the highway for gas, and saw the fried chicken and beer sign. Considering that I had about 180 more miles to drive, beer was not a good idea. But I can never resist fried chicken. It's been my weakness all of my life. So after seeing the Yelp reviews, I decided to give it a shot. Even if it was "only" 3 stars, the reviews seemed to bot be terrible. I am glad I did. But let's be clear... yes, the fried chicken was greasy. That's the point of fried chicken. I appreciated what they are doing. Maybe the menu is basic, but I do applaud the effort to do something more with this place than just selling booze and a few groceries. I am a fan of the chicken here and would recommend a stop to anyone passing through. Also, the wife got some of the chicken salad, and we both found it to be very tasty. If you're looking for a quick bite as you're passing through, this place will do the trick. read more
