Driving home from Hershey and stopped for breakfast. We didn't have a reservation so there was a short wait and they sent a text when our table was ready. This was a perfect opportunity to walk around and enjoy the nearby nature paths and butterfly gardens. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. My daughter had eggs toast and bacon and I had a breakfast burrito. Everything was fresh and made with quality ingredients. read more

Ever in search of a good weekend brunch options my friends and I (from York) broadened our search a bit and found Porch & Pantry so we planned an outing to check them out. So glad we did - I'm gluten free and they have GF pancake and French toast options - so exciting for the GF friends! I had GF blueberry pancakes with a side order of scrambled eggs (to avoid a carb coma) and they were delicious! My friends got the Farmer's Skillet and the (gluten-full) pancakes and said both were incredibly good as well. Our servers were great and they kept us posted on our orders which were slightly delayed due to a very large party whose orders had gone in before ours. Fortunately they kept us stocked with coffee and tea and we chatted away until our orders came up. If you are in the area (or reasonably close) definitely check them out! read more

An amazing hidden brunch gem in the heart of Mt. Gretna. Right when you walk in, you get a cute and charming feel that brings on a cozy sense of home. The staff are cheery, and super kind that makes you feel oh so welcomed. We sit and are immediately greeted by a warm server who asks if we wanted coffee...we say "of course" and she sit a pot on the table for us to fill as we need...I believe this was their bottomless coffee option. Then, to order we split things....we split the fig and pig benny and the bacon and cheddar quiche. Both were DELISH! The fig and pig was a perfect balance of sweetness from the fig jam with the buttery notes of the hollandaise and savory of the ham, brought together with a perfectly poached egg. The only criticism I would say to this dish, is that they slightly broke their emulsion with the hollandaise, but it still tasted very good! As for the quiche, it had a perfectly flaky crust and the filling was the right balance of bacon to cheese ratio that made you keep going back for another bite. I also loved the side of seasoned tomatoes; it was a perfect fresh contrast to the decadent dish it was paired with. I will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

This is a lovely restaurant in Mt. Gretna. My wife and I made reservations for a brunch on Sunday, and arrived a bit early, but they happily seated us immediately. We tend to eat vegetarian, and they have great brunch selections for that, including two quiche selections. My wife t ried the veggie quiche, while I did their garden omelet with the Mt. Gretna style potatoes. All of the dishes were delicious, and the service was fantastic and welcoming. Will definitely be back. read more

We went on a road trip today and decided to stop here for breakfast. We were not disappointed! There are plenty of seats inside and on the porch. It was comfortable and cozy. We were promptly seated and our server greeted us right away. The menu had a combo of the usual breakfast items and some more creative items as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the sausage and squash quiche. It was nice to be able to get it with greens rather than potatoes. I'd 100% recommend Porch and Pantry if you're in the Mt Gretna area. You will love it. read more

Set in charming Mt. Gretna tucked between beautiful trees, Porch & Pantry is a nice small place for breakfast. The dining area is partitioned into two sections with room for maybe 4-5 tables on the one side and another 6-8 on the other. Be prepared for a wait ranging from 15 to 45 minutes before getting seated and another 15 minutes or more before the food is served after ordering. We had blueberry pancakes and an omelette. Food tasted good, was hot, and decent portions. One minor downside was they only include one small container of maple syrup with the pancakes. They charge $1 per small container for each extra bit of syrup. Seemed like nickel and diming, which cast a shadow over an otherwise nice breakfast. read more

Stopped by for brunch while running errands on a Saturday. I was intrigued to try this place out as they have gluten free options. We loved being able to eat outside but the food was pretty mid. Not super flavorful or good use of seasonings. My omelette was good but that's pretty hard to mess up so nothing spectacular. We also spent $50 for my omelette and my husband's sandwich which is outrageous. Unfortunately not a fan due to these circumstances. Besides all that service was good. read more

Avocado toast is always a hit with the franks red hot sauce, but I enjoyed the farmers omelette and finished it off with sharing a sticky bun and finishing off the carafe of coffee. Timing is everything, expect a wait depending on the time you visit given the limited number of tables. They have hot sauces to pick up and batches fermenting before your very own eyes as well. The folks are friendly and the service is top notch. read more

I've been here a couple times now and really enjoyed every thing I've had. The shrimp and grits were so flavorful, we talk about them all the time. I tried the bac-ado this time and absolutely loved it. The service is always great and it's an overall good vibe. It's nice to take a walk around Mt. Gretna afterwards too! read more

This place changed name/owner since i was last here and offers a completely new menu with a much more modern take on breakfast and brunch that is very reasonably priced. Lots of healthy and vegetarian options in addition to standard meat and potato dishes. The only thing missing is mimosas. Service was ok but not great. Potatoes were over seasoned and a bit undercooked. Toast wasn't warm enough to melt the butter, but overall, we enjoyed our experience. Interior is fairly plain and simple. Patio seating is available. Definitely worth a try if you're in Mt. Gretna. read more

A small town breakfast stop that has such charm for the whole family. We stopped here to eat while staying in Mt Gretna. We dined at a few restaurants here and feel that this one had the best service and food. We love small town breakfast and lunch shops and it met the hype. The shop is small, but was able to accommodate larger groups. When you first walk in you are greeted by the host and seated. You help yourself to drinks in the front and then put your order in. The food was fantastic and we would come back here in a heartbeat. Thank you for such lovely service! read more

You must go to P&P. Their food is farm to table, all fresh ingredients. Staff is the best and always willing to chat. They love to create new items and cater highly to gluten free and vegan clients. Their pancakes are YUM! It's a biweekly place for me to go and take friends and family! read more

I only stopped for coffee but was eyeing the entrees coming out to the tables. The food looked pretty amazing. Excellent presentation and there were several certifications posted on the wall regarding food safety and other. The menu had some really unique offerings. I will definitely give this spot a try when I don't have a 12 mile return bike ride. They have indoor seating and a nice covered porch. Really quaint spot. Close access to the walking trails. read more

Stopped in today for a nice breakfast with my sister. No wait, but all the outdoor tables were full, so we ate inside. Drinks are self-served, which isn't my favorite during a pandemic but... *shrug*. I ordered an apple cinnamon & raisin baked oatmeal with skim milk, and my sister got a grilled sticky with eggs and cantaloupe. Both were very tasty. She was super happy with her eggs, which were nice and fluffy! Her sticky was also good--but beware. The sticky is really sticky, so probably not great for folks with denture issues. My baked oatmeal was tasty and the portion was big. Both meals (pre tip) we're about $15, which I think is a very good price for the amount and quality of food we received. The local art on the wall was lively too. read more

Such a cute brunch spot in (basically) the middle of nowhere. It was a bit of a drive from our area in Hershey, PA, but easy to find with GPS. Everyone was super friendly and the food is cooked well and VERY filling for what you pay for. All in all great brunch with great flavors. 2 comments on improvements : - the coffee is lacking, the self serve coffee tastes like low quality hotel/motel coffee, no espresso options, and they only have half and half creamer as dairy options. For a place that prides itself on vegetarian and vegan foods- why no non-dairy alternatives? - the lighting and decor leaves much to be desired. On a nice sunny day in PA, the inside shouldn't feel like it's evening already! Open up the windows and add more lights if not possible, because this really wouldn't be the place for a date or to show off central PA because it feels so drab. Would definitely come back - only for food read more

I'm not a fan of trends, mention "brunch" places and I recoil instantly. Well, even I can be wrong (imagine that) and this brunch joint is top-friggin-notch. Help yourself to coffee and tea, (several types and flavors) have as much as you want, one price. I like that. Quite a large selection on the menu. All the best ingredients - fresh baked breads, large avocado slices, everything is outstanding and will exceed your expectations. I suggest the vegan patty melt and garden fries. Oh and about 12 cups of coffee. Woo coffee. read more

Porch and Pantry has a lovely ambiance, tasty food, and sweet servers. They offer a robust menu with local ingredients. I normally do not get pancakes while out and was so glad I did-- they were a fun splurge and a generous serving. My sister got a bowl breakfast (eggs, potatoes, sausage) which seemed to be on the small side, especially when compared to the price and serving of my meal. We split a grilled sticky and were pleasantly surprised by the homemade sweet cream. Our service, while friendly, was slow and at one point we thought the kitchen might have forgotten us. Definitely would still go back and meet up with other friends there-- it's a gem in Mt. Gretna! read more

This gem is in a beautiful setting the food was delicious. The service was perfect. my only regret is that I do not live closer!

The evening meal of prime ribs was inedible. The meat was so tough it was difficult to cut. It was also flavorless. The pasta alternative was equally disappointing and flavorless. I have not eaten breakfast there but I certainly will never eat at the restaurant again! read more

They have a great menu. Everything is prepared with care & tastes great. Special events like Burger & Bingo night are great fun.

Love, love this place! The breakfasts at the Porch are amazing! The service is also fantastic. A must if you're in Gretna

Porch and Pantry changes ownership and while Many restaurants in the area have done this and created great new options porch and pantry has failed in multiple levels: Food is pretty generic, the Quiche in particular looked like it came out of a frozen meal. Also they ran out of the basics like potatoes (not just opening weekend) . Atmosphere, seems like they went for modern and failed to just cold and stoic. Service was slow, not the servers fault again not just opening weekend. read more

We had a fantastic brunch here and would highly recommend! We were greeted and seated with a jug of coffee - what more can you ask for? French toast was very good...tasted like a cinnamon roll that was garnished with farm fresh berries. Loved it! My boyfriend had the Left Coast Enchiladas that also was delicious. The pricing was about what I would expect for the quality - we think you would enjoy it as much as we did, and would gladly go back. read more

I give them a 4 for the lovely menu, great variety. Service was mediocre, food sounds better on menu than actual presentation.

The new renovations have taken away from the quirky charm. Waited an hour for our food. Wait staff is great.

I waited over 30 mins for avocado toast and a childs French toast. avocado toast was burnt and had absolutely NO flavor except the butter on the actual toast and the pieces of avocado were extremely thick, no salt or pepper on top . and it was only one mediocre slice for $11. kids French toast was literally ONE slice of toast and potatoes. and the potatoes had the most flavor out of everything. definitely not going here again. guess that's what I get for trying new restaurants read more

My husband and I discovered this little gem just before March 2020. Since then, we have had several takeout options throughout the lockdown in PA in addition to outdoor-only dining, indoor dining, and Vegan Night. I have taken at least three friends here to check it out. What can I say? I love this place! Great lunch and breakfast options for vegans AND omnivores alike. Or those who are vegan-curious. My omnivore friends enjoyed it just as much as my vegan husband and I have. I recommend the smothered breakfast burrito, the vegan cheesesteak wrap, and the breakfast burger. I highly recommend dining on the porch, if you have the opportunity. read more
