Soooo. We went and did not expect so many people to be there. We opted to sit at the bar for brunch and didn't think we were going to have the best french toast i have ever had. Great food. Busy for a reason. Thank yiu read more

I've visited The Pantry since moving to Long Island. The food I would give a 5 stars because it's bursting with flavor, it's unique and creative. The 4 stars is because of the waitresses, they aren't the most friendly staff. Dishes I recommend: Lobster Benedict Steak and Eggs Tres leches French Toast and Pancakes Chicken fingers and fries read more

Had an amazing breakfast experience at The Pantry in Rockville Centre this morning. Stopped in for a quick bite with my dad and ended up having one of the most comforting breakfasts I've had in a while. The hospitality was top tier from the moment we walked in. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes with powdered sugar, sausage links, eggs with cheese, and a fresh-squeezed orange juice -- and everything was absolutely delicious. The pancakes were fluffy and perfectly sweet, the eggs and sausage were cooked just right, and the fresh orange juice was the perfect touch to tie it all together. If you're in Rockville Centre and looking for a classic breakfast spot with great food and even better service, The Pantry is definitely the place to go. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

3.5 stars I attended on a night that may not be the best to judge true service as it was a comedy night. Pretty extensive menu, based on photos it seems brunch is very popular. We had the buffalo cauliflower and the Chicken Milanese, very heavily dressed for my liking. Parking lot to the side and in the back. read more

Looking for brunch all day everyday. Pantry has entree meals that include either a glass of mimosa, Bellini or Bloody Mary. Everything from the burgers to the French toast are delicious if you don't want brunch the offer a regular menu as well. Great place for family and friends and the service is always moving quickly. It gives the nostalgic diner vibes which is great since a lot know spots have closed down in the NY area. read more

The Mac n Cheese here is the best I've ever had. The cheese pull was immaculate. I ordered the chicken sandwich. Fried chicken was seasoned really well. All of the food felt fresh. Service was OK however it was extremely busy when I went so it's understandable. The restaurant seems like a nice stable in the community. They say they are a diner but I will say the food here is better than diner quality. Don't let the negative reviews here fool you! Try it out! You won't be disappointed read more

Best Diner in Long Island by a mile. I'd say maybe anywhere. Foods always fresh. Decor and vibes always great. Staff is always friendly, courteous and on point. Pretty much anything on the menu is absolutely delicious! And if it isn't to your liking they will fix it. My absolute favorite place, anytime of the day or night. read more

My plus one suggested that we come to The Pantry in Rockville Center NY, I quickly assented after my research. When we arrived I saw a huge parking lot with ample parking, eith two sides to enter. Walking into this massive dining room, you see dining to the right and left. The bar and check out are on the left side as you enter and the maître d' was directly at the entrance across from the check out counter. She pleasantly greeted us with a smile and escorted us to our table. I saw that the dining room was extravagant and neat! The music was pumping sounds from Mariah Carey and various other artists. It was relaxing. The decorum was nothing less than elegant and beautiful with flowers hanging from the ceiling and pictures displayed on the walls, while the The Pantry's ambiance was upscale, patrons arrived dressed waaaay down, casual, and dressed up in church attire. The service at the beginning was prompt at the beginning, we had to ask three times for more time to look over the menu because we needed an understanding of the menu. My plus one had traditional French toast with bacon. She really enjoyed her meal without disappointment. I, on the other hand, had Challah French toast and turkey sausage patties. My French toast was cold but the sausages were hot. I was very disappointed. The interaction with out waiter seemed awkward at the beginning but after we ate I engaged him in conversation. It's amazing how a person opens up when you talk about a subject of knowledge. By our observation we saw that he is into Chakra. Really great conversation. We did have a very lengthy wait to receive our check. Our wait was so long that the half empty dining area were we sat was now full! If I come again, I would like to try another dish and hopefully it will be hot! read more

I came with a group of friends back in December 2025. The ambiance was really cute, definitely looked like more than a diner. And the food was really good! I expected a bit more from the carrot cake pancakes, and I didn't really fancy the egg scramble with salmon, but overall the food and service was good and I'd be back to try some of the things my friends got. They had this one appetizer I think was oxtail balls or something like that, it was so good. read more

Despite getting multiple recommendations for this place, I was hesitant to try it because of the reviews on line, but after yet another recommendation, i decided to try. My visit was at 6:45p on a Friday night and it was very busy (there was also a comedy show happening that night) but seating was fast. The menu was overwhelming with so many options that all sound good, but my final decision was the pork chop and grits that I swapped for cheese grits, we ordered spinach artichoke dip to share, and my friend got meatloaf and mashed potatoes. We also ordered drinks. My hawaiian mimosa was delicious and two gave me a nice buzz. The pork chop and grits were delicious, there was sausage gravy and bacon adding extra yum to every bite. And my friend enjoyed their meatloaf. The portions were huuuge and we were left w/ leftovers. Definitely coming back to try other menu items read more

Here's a shorter, authentic, review you can post for The Pantry in Rockville Centre -- with the real dish names and some extra compliments people often rave about: We had an amazing brunch at The Pantry in Rockville Centre! The service was friendly and attentive from start to finish -- exactly what everyone else raves about. The café itself has a great vibe: clean, bright, and inviting with decor that feels both stylish and comfortable. I ordered the Chicken & Biscuit, and it was so good -- juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken with tender biscuits and flavorful sides. My wife had the El Diablito "Skirt, Skirt" Burrito with grilled skirt steak, scrambled eggs, caramelized jalapeños & onions, pepper jack, guac, chipotle aioli, and home fries -- bold flavors done right. We kept hearing from others how great the chicken & waffles, shrimp 'n grits, and S'mores pancakes are too -- and now we totally understand why this place gets such high marks for food, service, and atmosphere. Great spot for brunch or anytime dining -- we'll definitely be back! read more

Yesterday was my first time visiting The Pantry. My mom suggested it. She'd been for a dinner party once. So... Overall, the aesthetic of the place is nice. Mixed crowd both age and race. It's a spacious place with parking. Service: Was fast! Our waitress was pretty neutral. I won't mention her name( it's a popular hat) bc maybe she was just a lil tired... Food: 5/10. To be fair, it was my first time and I guess I didn't get their popular meal but it was average. Same for my drink. Nothing crazy. I had the chicken Caesar wrap with waffle fries and a guac for the table. My mom had the salmon. It was a great portion and cooked to perfection! I would return bc I see they have brunch AND Wray and his nephew is being served there as well. I'll come back with the girls for sure. read more

Sunday brunch! Had a phone reservation here the day before for a group of 10. We were about 5 mins late due to trying to find parking at the lot (it got very crowded), but they accommodated us right away and seated us in a large booth. Inside is very lively with an ambiant floral decor on the ceilings. The laminated menu is large and double-sided. We opted for the "Ox" burger and fries. It was delicious and we asked for it well done. The grilled onions were not bad and I loved chewing them. Our group got pancakes, the steak omelet, and the French toast. The portions were large but was enough for the plates to be cleaned by us. The highlights were the "2 for 1" specials for the mimosas: regular (orange juice), Hawaiian (pineapple juice instead), and the Mermaid. 2 would be about $17. They were strong and delicious. There's all day brunch at this spot and we were impressed at how quick the food came out. We were in by 11:05am, and out by 12pm, with plenty of time to chat after we ate. Great management as it helped all of us carry on with our days! read more

This place here was recommended by co workers. It did not disappoint. We went late for breakfast. It was a warm welcoming atmosphere. We was seated immediately and waited on. The waiter was patient and attentive. We finally placed our order and the food came out fresh and hot. I had crossiant French toast with berries. There were no complaints only except the price. It was a little expensive, but you can't put a price on good food. ***** They also have rum punch**** read more

Good Sunday Brunch! We were able to snag reservations the same day and once we arrived the hostess walked us over to our seats. It definitely give upscale dinner vibes with booths. They have floral decor hanging from the ceiling which gives a picturesque vibe. The menu is straight forward and they have brunch all day which if you love breakfast is a plus. I love breakfast. I ordered the steak and eggs and a side of Cinnabon pancakes. The steak was a lil too well for me. I got it as a skirt steak maybe another cut next time. The salsa Verde that came with it is good with the eggs and hash. The portion size is good. The pancakes were good . Not too sweet even with the cream cheese icing. They had a 2 for one drink special and.I had a bellini and a white sangria..I liked the bellini better. I'd definitely come back to try other things. read more

The food was solid! Something in my soul was telling me to order the chicken & waffles (never tried before) and I'm glad I did, very scrumptious. I grew up on long island and never knew of the pantry, I'm ashamed. The service was good even though they were busy so shoutout to them, specially Mario. My one critique about this place is that the Bloody Marys were light (but fire) ! I ordered 3 and felt nothing. Im a light weight so it doesn't take much to get buzzed. I'll be back ! read more

The hungry monster was on my back and we were on the hunt for breakfast. The Pantry ended up being the lucky winner. I appreciated the Boozy Brunch menu that included a drink with any entree, from a mimosa or sangria to tea. I got the shrimp and grits. At first glance, the portion doesn't look too big, but it was just enough. 5 jumbo shrimp on top of cheesy grits and the creole glaze to top it off was perfection! We also ordered the steak and eggs, which was pretty good as well. The service was great, and there was a pretty relaxed vibe. The Pantry is a great spot for a brunch date, groups, or just to hang out at the bar. read more

I recently attended pantry diner, which I've been to several times but after this experience definitely will be my last the waitress Fedora was terrible never checked on us not once. Took our order never seen her again. Had to ask other waiters for things that we needed such as boxes, dessert menu, and check never waited this long in a restaurant where you couldn't find your waitress. Never again read more

We had a party of 10, and our experience was Good! This place was packed for Sunday. You definitely need to make reservations. Everyone's food came out at the same time. Our Server could have been more attentive. Chicken and waffle (white meat )was delicious! the coffee warmed my tummy and the pineapple mimosa was a nice touch. The atmosphere was great for getting together with family and friends. Highly recommend read more

I love this diner. I could eat here daily and not get tired of the menu. The options are endless. So many pescatarian, vegan, vegetarian, and meat options. There's something here for the pickiest eaters. Guarantee service with a smile and no attitudes. Always beautiful decorated for the season. If you're lucky, you can catch the Friday night comedy while you dine. This morning I enjoyed a well dressed avocado toast with my boozy coffee and floated home satisfied. read more

The Pantry RVC absolutely deserves the hype -- but PLEASE make a reservation because this place stays busy for a reason. First of all, I need to shout out our waitress, Teshara. She was genuinely amazing. Bright energy, super attentive, and just had that warm personality that makes you feel comfortable immediately. I deal with anxiety in public settings sometimes, and she was incredibly understanding and patient without making it awkward. That kind of service matters more than people realize. Now let's talk food. The Smoked Salmon Latkes? Unreal. Perfectly crisp latkes topped with poached eggs that were cooked beautifully. When you cut into them, that yolk added this rich, creamy texture that tied everything together. The flavors were balanced and fresh -- not too heavy, just chef's kiss. I had the Cajun Chicken Caesar Salad and it was SO good. The chicken had great seasoning and heat without overpowering the salad. They even gave me extra dressing (love that for me), and they were completely respectful of my lactose allergy, which I genuinely appreciate. No side-eye, no confusion -- just handled it professionally. My boyfriend got the Short Rib Mac and Cheese and when I tell you it filled him up after like five spoons... I'm not exaggerating. It's rich, hearty, and packed with flavor. He still had plenty left to take home, which honestly is a win because their food is too good to waste. Service was smooth, wait times were reasonable, and the overall vibe was lively but worth it. If you plan ahead and reserve, you'll have a great experience. 10/10 would go back. read more

Ample parking even on a busy Sunday afternoon. We made a reservation online and were seated immediately upon checking with the hostess even though there were a lot of people waiting for a table. For brunch e ordered a small basket of cheddar biscuits, they were warm and tasty. One Bellini and mimosas which came with our entrees and a chicken biscuit, and the shrimp and grits. The food all came out quickly, fries that came with the biscuit were just okay but otherwise no complaints on the food. Great music playing and very efficient staff. Will be back although the food is slightly pricey for brunch entrees. read more

We stopped in for Mother's Day. This place actually impressed me. Wasn't expecting it to be so busy! But the staff were attentive and kind. The food was good although I wouldn't get the creamed spinach again - way too salty. And the short rib could have been slow cooked longer. But the other things were great! Also, I love their drink specials. I'd return again - prices were fair, ambiance is cool definitely not diner vibes. read more

Visited on 5-17-25. Haven't been here in a few years. The food is still good and it's mostly just your standard New York diner fare. You can get breakfast all day and there's a good variety of items on the menu. I ordered the Birria tacos (it was an appetizer but I ordered it for the main course) and a bowl of matzah ball soup. Another person in my party ordered a turkey club sandwich on a pretzel roll...... and another ordered eggs Benedict. I tasted all the items and everything was pretty good. Portion sized were adequate. Nothing was totally outstanding but none of the dishes were disappointing either. Service was pretty fast and friendly and the restaurant is kept clean. read more

Any excuse I get I go here with friends. Love this place. Some items I loved unfortunately have been taken off the menu but if you ask they will make it. It gives an upscale diner vibe. Food is always on point. Mozzarella sticks were amazing especially with the unique dipping sauces they gave. They have a great fresh juice & mocktail options. Idk why it took me so long to write a review! If you go on a Sunday you should call ahead to see if they have space. read more

Decided to shake things up for Sunday brunch and try a spot we hadn't been to before. As some reviews mentioned, the inside is definitely cuter than the outside, and it didn't disappoint. Their hanging flowers decor is really cute! We arrived around 11am and were seated right away, though you can tell this place gets packed during peak brunch hours. The menu had a ton of variety without feeling overwhelming--it was just the right amount of choices. While it took a bit of time to place our order, our waiter was super friendly and apologized for the delay. Once we ordered, the food came out fast, and everything was absolutely delicious. They even had a buy-one-get-one deal on cocktails, which was a nice bonus! I went with a classic Belgian waffle, and it hit the spot. The home fries were a 10/10 seasoned to perfection. My mom's avocado smash toast was sooo good and beautifully presented too. I was really impressed. Probably one of the nicest avocado toast plates I've seen. I'd come back here 1000 percent--great food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service! read more

13 of us came through for brunch yesterday. It's always hit or miss with a big party so we were trepidatious about what kind of service we were going to get along with food quality. I'm glad to report that all of us were well served and all of us enjoyed our meals. The menu is so extensive that it was so hard to choose what we were going to get. I was lucky enough to get a sampling of some people's food and everything was so tasty. I got the chicken and waffles which was good. I would prefer bone in chicken but this was still fresh and tasty. My husband got the steak sandwich which was perfectly cooked and juicy. My daughter got a Beyond burger. ( there are plenty of veg options) She enjoyed it but would have preferred if it didn't come on pita bread. My son got a chicken sandwich w/ bacon. We all tried the fig and goat cheese toast which was lovely. The atmosphere was nice and it was very busy. We had a reservation and I recommend getting one, especially with a big party. read more
