    Stuffed french toast with berries
    Nick K.

    My wife's favorite breakfast place. Opens at 6AM while a lot of advertised breakfast joints open a lot later. The coffee was good and topped off several times. The restaurant is very clean. Had one of the many daily specials, stuffed french toast with berries. There was a lot of berries and custard in the center. Taste was good, but should have been cooked longer.

    I love BREAKFAST. Super excited to be introduced to a new spot. The place is small but the service is excellent. There wasn't a wait when I went however I imagine there would be on a early morning. I order an omelette, friends has eggs & meat, pancakes etc. All items were tasty. I would return & try something different

    Strawberry waffle a la mode

    Not my first time and won't be my last. I love coming here for breakfast. Staff is always friendly and place is clean. They are pretty busy during the weekend so plan for that. I got the Belgium Waffle strawberry a la mode. Absolutely gourmet! The flavor was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back.

    Me and breakfast.

    It's hard to find a good Eggs Benedict at a very busy diner. I took the leap of faith because my dad brought me here when I was a kid and the memories tug at my heart. They are only open for a few hours a day, so if you are hankering diner food after 2pm, you are out of luck. The Eggs Benedict are homemade. The sauce is truly authentic. Max was happy with his breakfast.

    Apple pancakes with eggshell inside

    We called the restaurant to place an order for pick up. This was our first time ordering from the restaurant. The woman who took our order was not very patient with us- we did have several follow up questions about the menu items. Unfortunately, we ordered the Apple pancake and found large pieces of eggshell inside.

    The Pantry is a Sterling Heights classic. They've been around forever and it's obvious why. From their outstanding oven baked omelets to their fresh and fancy pancakes, you can never go wrong. The service is top notch. The owners are at the restaurant daily which allows for their service and quality to be closely monitored. I'd recommend going out of your way to stop in!

    Came here with a friend by recommendation of friend! Was unsure walking in with the whole wait in line no check in but it moved so quick! We were quickly sat and I began to contemplate everything.... Well because everything sounded delicious. I seen a special menu board with a few extra specials including pumpkin crepes, yum! I settled on the Dutch baby seeing I have never had one but have always wanted to try. Our waitress was super sweet and never let my coffee get below half full. Our food came quickly, and I quickly dove into my Dutch baby. Topped with lemon and powder sugar this light fluffy pancake style pastry was so delicious and different. I would love the try the other german pancakes they offer. As well as the variations of crepes and pancakes. Definitely your traditional diner setting but that's what I love!

    Is the corned beef hash fresh made or from a can?

    Our corned beef hash is homemade. We cook our own corned beef and slice it thin for our deli sandwiches also.Top Quality Corned beef. Thanks for asking.

I ordered the "Double Trouble" -- French toast loaded with cookie dough, Oreos, Nutella, and chocolate sauce. Let me just say... that dish is a train straight to diabetes. In all seriousness, it was absolutely delicious and indulgent, but definitely on the overly sweet side. If you have a serious sweet tooth, this one's for you. My wife went with the Classic Eggs Benedict, and that was excellent -- well-balanced flavors and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes, however, were a bit bland. They were cooked well texture-wise but could definitely use more seasoning. Service was so-so, though it seemed like they were pretty busy, which likely played a role. The location is great -- conveniently about a mile from Woodside Church, one of the largest churches in Michigan -- so I can imagine it gets especially packed on weekends. One important note: restroom maintenance needs attention. With only a single restroom per gender, cleanliness is critical. My wife noticed the toilet seat wasn't clean, which is something that should be addressed promptly, especially in a high-traffic establishment. Overall, the food quality was strong, particularly the main dishes, and we'd likely return -- but there are definitely a few operational details that could elevate the experience.

Being that it was snowing, I was tired and had a million other things to do, I decided to stop in and have breakfast here on the fly. Walking in, the place is large, but the tables and chairs are sparse. Not much to see here, but they seem to be holding it together. I was seated immediately and my server was attentive and nice. She snagged me a menu and they have a good selection of food to choose from. I ventured off from my usual eggs and hash browns for once and tried their breakfast sandwich. From experience, not all breakfast sandwiches are created equal! I was skeptical from being disappointed in the past. I also ordered a side of hash browns because I wanted to see what they were like. I got the sandwich on Texas toast and let me tell you, it was fabulous! It was egg and cheese only and so good. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the hash browns were as well. They were cubed style, with some onions and spice to it. I topped it off with a dash of hot sauce and boom, there ya go folks, good stuff it is! My bill was about $8 give or take, I can't remember the exact amount. Overall, a good meal for a decent price. While the place isn't super fancy on the inside, it really made a good impression on me!

I actually scraped the filling out of mine, set the egg aside and was charged full price. The manager, Bella was young and inexperienced to handle a situation of this sort. She must be going by a script. Maddie, our waitress was only doing what she was told. She was very delightful.. We will not, capital N-O-T be returning. What is shame.

There is absolutely nothing bad on the menu. There are so many delicious items, I have a hard time picking what I want since I want everything. First, I love their coffee. We came for lunch and I had already had my morning coffee, but we had not been here in so long, I needed my Original coffee fix and ended up having three more cups. Their coffee taste great all ways, black, with cream, with cream and sugar, so good! My child had a strawberry lemonade. They limit you to only one refill, but they were very kind and asked her if she was ready for her second cup. We love their specialties, which they do warn you takes extra long to bake, about twenty minutes, but it is always worth it. I ended up getting the baby Dutch garden, which is baked. It is so good, so underrated, I love this one every time. It is like an omelette inside a German pancake. It is perfection. I always also need something sweet, so I got a half order of blueberry pancakes. The batter is so good and they give you a side of blueberries in syrup. My child got the baked apple. This is the most iconic treat and a must order if you have never been here before. Again, it is baked sugar, apples and cinnamon inside a German pancake. We both had leftovers. So, each of our meals was like two meals. My husband got the broccoli and cheese omelette and a side of chocolate chip pancakes. They have hands down the best chocolate chip pancakes in the area and their omelettes are so fluffy and delicious. Personally, when I get their omelette, I get the spinach and cheddar which is amazing. Other items I love include the 49ers. Those are the best pancakes, they are a hybrid crepe and American pancake, and if you have never had one, you need to try them, they are ginormous. Their buckwheat pancakes are also so good. Their orange juice is typically fresh squeezed and worth ordering, and there are so many other items I have never tried because I do not have enough room in my stomach. This is a must try for everyone. There is usually a long line, but it tends to go quickly. Service is always friendly.
