The Pantry On Park

This was the best breakfast experience ever! My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine’s Day, and we both got the Pantry Breakfast Burrito. If I could give this burrito 10 stars I would because it was that good. Service was quick and did I mention the breakfast burrito?

Came in for lunch. Atmosphere is a lot like most other country coffee shops. Kinda looks like grandmas house. We were seated promptly, and drink orders were given. Took a few minutes to get drinks and order, but not bad. Then came the wait for the food. Waited 25 minutes for 2 sandwiches. Waitress came by 15 minutes in and said they only had one cook today.
After finally getting meal (I had the triple decker club), it was just eh… Waitress was nice, and kept drinks refilled. But food was blah. Might try again bases on reviews.
Other note, tables had not been wiped down well. Had stickey spots on my side.

Pantry is a decent breakfast diner that has good coffee and breakfast plates. The staff is friendly and the service is good. The one time we just went for dessert we got the brownie sundae but we were a bit disappointed since the brownie didn’t really taste homemade.

Service was poor and all our waitress Crystal was worried about was tending to the three men at the table next to us. Took forever to take our order. We felt neglected and almost like her mind wasn’t there. We were there for almost an hour and a half.
Don’t order the French Toast it has a weird taste.

The Pantry has some amazing food. I’ve yet to be disappointed. Around October they have pumpkin pancakes that are to die for! Definitely recommended if your a pumpkin fan. Wish they had a dessert menu though, I’m legally blind and can’t see the whiteboard they bring out. Other than that, it’s great. My 4 year old is always begging to go there.(they give little toys if you finish your meal.)

We ate breakfast on 12÷29÷15 on our way to Fairfield CA. The Breakfast was really good.
My husband loved the french toast and I had a omelette with mushrooms and avocado.
Really good. The O’brien potatoes were yummy.
The servers were nice…

My husband and i went for breakfast. I really like the inside it was warm and filled with coffee aroma! I ordered the corned beef with sour dough toast! The corned beef was amazingg! I really enjoyed it. And i also really like the toast! I got coffee for my drink. My hubby got the express breakfast which contain eggs and toast with coffee. The price was also very good. Will definitely go again. The staff were super friendly also!

Empty tables and they made us wait order a short stack and they were tough pancakes this is the third time I’ve been there will not go back

Food here is good portioned. Staff is very friendly, service is good.
3 stars because I came here for pancakes and I wasn’t what I expected. The pancakes were fluffy but it was too salty and didn’t taste too good to me, well let’s say it didn’t hit the spot. The portion is huge tho! should have just ordered the small size.
We ordered a side of popcorn shrimp and it wasn’t good either. They were very small like the pre cooked/​frozen kind. I understand it’s a diner but it was too small of shrimp.
But I really liked their waffles. It was cooked perfectly and was nice and warm.mmmm.
I don’t think I’ll be in this area anytime soon, but If I am and if I’m craving waffles, I’ll definitely come in.

First of all, shoutout to Susan B. She informed me about this place about one year ago and it’s been sitting on my bookmarks ever since. Thank you!
The Pantry On Park is a traditional diner so you will find a breakfast menu with the typical assortment of eggs, omelets, pancakes, and waffles here. Nothing on the menu is fancy or eye-​popping. I ended up splitting an order of Joe’s Skillet (eggs scrambled with ground beef, spinach, mushrooms, fried potatoes, and a side biscuit + gravy for about $ 10) with Christina C.
I have no idea who the hell Joe is but that skillet was friggin delicious. Nothing that would blow your mind, but just good comfort food made right. Moreover, portions were generous. One order was more than enough for the both of us!
Our dining companions also loved their food. We had nothing but positive comments and I walked out of their feeling happy as hell and ready for that food coma!
I don’t know if I’ll ever be back but I’ll certainly keep this place in mind. Hope you stop by too if you are in the area.

For me, this is the best! I’ve tried damn near ALL the breakfast and at least 2 – 3 items from lunch and dinner! I have NOTHING negative to say! The cooks are awesome, so a big shout out to them!!!
«Mo» and all the girls and guy are great, friendly, and very helpful. It’s like home away from home. «This is the perfect All American restaurant for the All American City!» My quote!
Remember where you heard it from first! LOL!

I ordered the Pantry Omelet. Serving size was great if you are really hungry. I consider myself to be able to eat quite a lot, but I couldn’t finish the meal. The biggest downer about my visit is that I felt that the eggs in my Omelet were a little undercooked. Other than that everything was delicious. The Pantry spuds that came with the meal were very tasty and had a good mix of onions and peppers.
I also had two pancakes that came with the meal. Very fluffy and you can really taste the homemade freshness. All in all was very good for breakfast. Menu appeared to have many other options that I will most likely return to try other things.

This was a very casual dinner Café type of place! I like the home feel to it and the food was pretty good! I had the Pantry combo with french toast, eggs, bacon and coffee! My boyfriend had the Dip sandwich and french onion soup with I really liked! The service was awesome too, our server was very nice and checking on us a lot!

Mo just made poppy seeds muffins with orange glaze. Yummy… can’t wait for another muffin

Love this place. Crystal and Malaina were wonderful. Love the fried chicken add waffles. Yumm.

This atmosphere of this place reminds me of a Denny’s, or any sort of casual breakfast spot like it. But the food and service is definitely a step up from any place like it! I’m definitely glad I went here during my time in Santa Maria, and will definitely go back if I ever can.
I came with my boyfriend on Saturday morning and the place looked crowded, but we got to sit down a few minutes after we walked in. I ordered their California omelette, which was delicious — avocado, cheddar cheese, bacon, and sour cream. Their breakfast entrees can come with fruit, hash browns, and some type of bread. Definitely big servings.
And my boyfriend got some kind of breakfast combo — where you pick and choose — and ended up with a big plate of waffles, eggs, and bacon. I think that was about $ 10. Definitely a good deal, and it was all delicious.
The service was nice and quick, a little bit rushed at times, but it was definitely not a big deal. Good experience here :)

Wow. Thanks to the reviews I settled on this place while driving up the coast with the fam, and I wasn’t disappointed!
We got the typical restaurant fare, omelettes, pancakes and bacon, and everything was spot on. Look at the pics, their omelettes are fluffier than regular ones, and of course you get a ton of food. I really recommend the breakfast here. Service was awesome, and they gave my little kid a toy for the road. Looking forward to stopping here again in the future!

This is exactly what you want to find when you pass through a small town. The Pantry embodies the tastes of Santa Maria. It’s fusion of American home cooking with a taste of Portuguese and Mexican influence.
One of the best breakfast menues I have ever seen and tasted. Love the skillets.

Here is another example of looks being deceiving.
When we first walked in, my first thought involved Robert Irvine and a sledgehammer. It looks like a wannabe Denny’s, Marie Calendars, and/​or Coco’s — chachkies everywhere, old carpet, large sectional walls that break up the dining room, waitresses with their flannel shirts and blue jeans… I guess you can call them uniforms.
(Regardless, everything appeared to be clean)
Fellow patrons appear to be mostly conservative-​looking old, white men, and everyone seems to be a regular.
This is definitely not Obama country, for sure!
However, a simple order of eggs and pancakes results in a massive amount of food, all traditionally well prepared in a classic country style. Potatoes were awesome as was the French toast, omelette, and coffee.
Well worth the money you pay!
The wait staff is very pleasant and helpful.
Not sure if I’ll ever be in this part of the world again, but if I am and it’s breakfast time and I’m famished, then for sure I will come back.

I seriously ate so much. I got the meat lovers hardy pantry platter. I also ordered biscuits and gravy cuz i always have to when I go somewhere new. The coffee is better than most, so don’t spoil it with too much cream and sugar. THE PUMPKIN PANCAKES WERE INSANE. I didn’t know they were gonna cost an additional $ 1.50 though. The waitress left that out :(It’s a pepper gravy so if you’re into meat gravy, like most red blooded Americans do, I’d skip the biscuits and gravy.
And to the guy that left his number for our waitress… why man. WHY
