Ordered a $10 chicken salad on white bread....i got chicken salad on two pieces of white bread....no lettuce, no tomatoes no nothing. I should have known as I was the only one in the place at lunchtime today, July 16, 2024. I should've gone to Subway. read more

This place is mid. We stopped coming back from Chicago since it had good reviews. The lady at the counter was nice. Our food took a pretty long time to come out considering we got sandwiches. When we did get our sandwiches, one was completely wrong. We decided it wasn't worth waiting another 15-20 minutes for a new one. The sandwiches themselves were fine. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Personally I didn't love the environment. If you don't like nonstop Christian music and groups of women loudly cackling in the corner, this probably isn't your place. They did have cool snacks in their store and the desserts looked good but we didn't try any. Edit to add the bathrooms were really clean and they also had Narcan in both the men and women's which I think is a really cool way to keep an eye out for your neighbors. read more

We had our grandson from Naperville for a week. We met our son at the Pantry so he could take his son home. We arrived first, ordered our food and were eating when our son arrived. He ordered a sandwich and asked for no mayonnaise(he's allergic). It took a long time for his sandwich to arrive, and when it did, it was covered in mayonnaise. He took the sandwich back to the counter and the clerk argued with him about his requesting no mayo. Again, he has allergy and is very cautious to avoid getting sick. At that point, he explained that he didn't have time to to wait for another sandwich, and asked for his money back. After more arguing from the "lady" who claimed to be the owner, shoved the money back at him. He came back to our table to retrieve his 6 year old son who was finishing his cookie. He sat down for minute while his son finished eating. Immediately the owner comes barreling out of the kitchen screaming, "I thought you were in a hurry"? "You just wanted your money back." I said do you really think he drove 3 hours just to order a sandwich, and not take one bite, just to ask for his money back? She kept yelling that he didn't specify no mayonnaise. She was relentless! I finally asked her to please walk away from our table so we could finish eating. Our grandson was terrified. At point, she starts yelling, "I own this place, you get out! At that point we left. All this over the price of a deli sandwich. Needless to say we were all in shocked over her insane behavior. If you go there, eat whatever you're served or suffer the wrath of the boss "lady". read more

The food and goods at the pantry are always fresh and handmade. The main seating area is a bit stark but everyone is always friendly and helpful. Food is a little pricey but it's worth it. read more

The food is amazing. It's a little on the pricey side, but so so yummy. I've never tried anything there that wasn't good.

We stopped by for coffee in the middle of a road trip. The location is a little hidden, but easy to get to. I was shocked to see the cashier and barista not wearing masks. The coffee was fine, but it took a while to get our drinks. My son's latte was very sweet. I love supporting local businesses, but will not be returning here due to their lack of concern for their customers. read more

This sandwich shop has seating and a store where you can buy their products in bulk. The sandwiches are ordered at a counter - large list of choices. My sandwich was the Chief - fresh, tasty, homemade. Interesting choices of soft drinks as well and very tasty desserts. read more

It's ok. Hours are not the best tho. Be aware that it has a cut off time for breakfast. I think it's 10:30.

Lovely little place next to Holiday Inn Express right off the interstate. I had the bologna sandwich and it was delicious. I shared a chocolate chip cheese cake and it was also very good. It was a lovely day and we sat outside enjoying their nice porch. Staff was friendly and service quick. They also have bread, jam, etc. for purchase. If you are looking for a pleasant change from fast food try The Pantry. read more

While I have not eaten breakfast here, I have eaten here for lunch many times. Great selection of sandwiches and salads. The food is always delicious and the service is quick. read more

Great sandwiches and bakery goods! We ended up purchasing two loaves of their bread it was so delicious.

Excellent.... Friendly, clean and delicious food. Roast pork with mashed potatoes, panini roast beef sandwich with potato cheddar soup. A great half way stop between Chicago and southern IL read more

If you're heading south on I 57 out of Chicago and need a nice break with nice people, very good food and a tempting bakery this is the spot for you. We decided to try this place out on our way home and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and locals that were eating lunch with us read more

Salads & sandwiches, coffee drinks & some specialty sodas. Good for lunch but don't get here at noon or be prepared to wait. Both sandwiches were good as was the soup & potato salad. A little pricy, $22 for two. Always like it when a local place opens up so I can avoid the chains. read more

Hello. I had lunch today at the pantry cafe. There is a sign on the door requiring masks, yet no one, staff or customer alike, were wearing masks. The woman who took our order and money, the woman who brought out our food, the woman who was cleaning the tables and the woman who refilled the tea all failed to wear a mask. My husband and I chose to wear ours, as usual, to protect ourselves and others. read more

This spot is quickly becoming a regular for me. I love the atmosphere and the coffee is amazing. I am usually here for breakfast but I've been known to stop by to grab some cookies or some other treat too. The only complaint I have has to do with the breakfasts. I'm not sure what you call the sausage they use, but it is the least sausagey sausage I've ever had. It's pretty flavorless. So if you're ordering a breakfast sandwich skip the sausage and bacon instead. There, I just give you permission to order bacon. You're welcome read more

I really like this place so far, I work in the mall across from this spot and it's a nice place to go on my break. Clean, friendly, Christian place. The soup is AMAZING! Haven't had any salads or sandwiches yet but I plan on it. Only down side is that there is no chicken Caesar salad, but whatever. Great place to feed your stomach and soul. read more

Nice but small indoor area for eating About 5 standard sandwiches listed I tried the triple threat on pretzel bun with the potato salad. Also a peach mango smoothie I liked the food. About 6 to 9 for a sandwich with a side. Smoothie was 5 Staff was nice read more

Really cute breakfast/lunch place in a town with not a ton going on. There are a few other chains on the street, but the Pantry is a breath of fresh air. Delicious soupss, salad and sandwiches. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Definitely recommend if your in the area! read more

Very tasty, freshly made food. Succulent tomatoes, crispy lettuce, awesome bread! I would definitely eat here again!!!

Amazing breakfast/lunch options, coffee bar, meat and cheese counter, and a good selection of bulk items from candy to flour. Limited selection but everything tried has been fresh, well prepared and high quality. Family friendly, accommodates larger groups, or nice for some alone time. read more

I would of given them 5 stars but their speed of service wasn't the greatest! Ordered a hot tea (over 5$ btw) and it took 20 min to make it! Cute place but... read more

I was impressed with the manager of this place. She took the time to email me and refund my money for a cup of coffee! Now that is customer service!!! Thank you! read more

Terrible experience. Staff was rude and coffee Tasted terrible!! Hope they close soon for everyone's sake. Save your money and yourself from this terrible restaurant. read more

Yummy little place to have lunch! Great place to buy spices, soups, candies etc. Friendly staff makes it a favorite

Raved about this place to my sister in law, so we stopped on the way home from Covered Bridge. We both had a coffee and the Chief sandwich. That sandwich was amazing!! read more

Giving them one star is a stretch. If I am making this review, you know that this was a horrible experience. I have been to this place multiple times for lunch & really like their food. Hadn't had a bad customer experience but this time was a whole different ball game. Not only did it take them over 10 minutes to make a iced coffee but they served me a cup of iced milk with a splash of coffee. I asked for it to be re made, seeing how I paid nearly 5 dollars for this. I stated if this was going to be a problem to remake I would leave. Another 5 minutes later, I was handed a cup of watered down iced "coffee" which she made in the back this time around. I hope your parking lot enjoys that water down cup "coffee" cause I know I won't be nor will I be returning to this establishment. Not because the food but solely because of the way I was treated. Giving small business a bad rep, it's sad. read more

Traveling by Tuscola and saw good reviews for this place so gave it a try and glad I did. Deli style sandwiches with awesome fresh bread. I had the triple threat and it was awesome good amount of meats and cheeses and the pasta salad that came with was also top notch. Thanks Yelp for leading me to another great meal. read more

I love the energy of The Pantry. Most of the people there are friendly. And the food is delicious but a bit on the pricey side. It's my go-to place to have a nice, simple meal and relax. read more

Newer business/restaurant to Tuscola, family owned and ran with owners usually on site. Near the Holiday Inn Express, across of the outlet mall. Recently expanded their hours into the evening. Includes a deli-cafe and Amish-style bulk food store. Cafe features many coffee drinks and specialty sodas; sandwiches on homemade bread and homemade soup, baked goods, and fresh salads. I enjoy a sandwich on the marble bread, toasted. Toasted means "panini style" - pressed. Very yummy. I recommend getting cheese on your sandwich as it's good, Amish cheese. Special is often half a sandwich and soup for $6.25. Everything is always high quality and very yummy. Not the biggest portions (which can be good - I hate having too much and feeling wasteful, or stuffed) but very satisfying and in-line with the price given the high quality. I'm glad they've expanded their hours. Be sure to check out their facebook page for the daily special. They have a few couches, a few tables and some bar height tables. Not the biggest place around, but I've never had a problem finding a seat. There's room for them to add outdoor seating, so I hope they have some this summer. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Pantry/233893439986319 read more

Delicious cheesy potato soup and roast beef sandwich with rossted red peppers and Dutch apple pie! Quick turn around and great Amish food store. read more

How can The Pantry only have one review!? I'm creating a Yelp account just to add another. This place is awesome. The sandwich's, the huge salads, the soups, the tea and coffee drinks, I've never had anything there that wasn't good. Talk about awesome service and kind people. Any time we've ever had a problem, they've always made it up in some way. Not even really "problems", just inconveniences. Like, sorry we are out of the soup you wanted, but pick a free dessert to make up for it! And that's not been a problem recently, that was closer to when they first opened and were still figuring out quantities and such. As for the bulk food side of the business, they've added stuff everytime I've been in there. Candies, spices, extracts, snacks... everything. They've got some awesome fresh produce right now, and it's pretty much the only place my wife and I buy eggs anymore. Farm fresh eggs, and they are the biggest I've seen. Everything is local. AND you can buy the salad dressings that they make in house! (The poppyseed is awesome.) So pretty much, if you havn't been there, go. If you have been there, you probably are still going on a regular basis. If you went and didn't like it, go again just to be sure because this place is one of the best in town! read more

Located right by The Outlets at Tuscola Mall great place to stop for amazing soups, salads, sandwiches or coffee. This place is wonderful my personal favorite is their grilled cheese just because I can create my own but you can not come to Tuscola or live in Tuscola and not try the Pantry! read more

What a treat to find this place! Awesome soup, sandwiches, baked goods, and salads! You will not be disappointed!

Amazing. Must stop and eat here. Small business with amazing food. The broccoli and cheese soup was delicious. Sometimes it has a grainy consistency but this was perfectly smooth. I had a roast beef sandwich on white bread with pepper jack cheese, lettuce and pickles. I got it toasted and would highly recommend it. The cheese was incredibly creamy and had the perfect amount of spice. The roast beef was tender just pure deliciousness. This is a place you must stop at!!!! It's just off the highway by the outlet mall. read more

Stopped here on the way up to Grand Rapids, MI for ArtPrize 8. Good food, good place to sit and eat, good service and a small Amish food store also. read more

Exactly what I was looking for. Quality, homemade food. Immediately upon walking in you get the feeling they take pride in not just the appearance of the place but in the quality of the food. Had one of their sandwiches which I chose to get the potato salad with. Both were a hit so I had to try desert. I don't understand the other review saying the prices were " a little high" because they certainly were not. Looking for a good lunch? Go here! read more

Nice cafe atmosphere near outlet mall. Very good quality and delicious food. Easy parking. Friendly service. Will be one of my regulars!

Very good a little foo fooie for the men. Food was fresh and taste. We had the warrior sandwich and tomato basil soup and the ham turkey and bacon on a toasted pretzel roll read more

You can't go wrong with anything at the Pantry. The soup and sandwich choices are great. We will certainly come back.
