The Pantry Nanaimo

Good, basic diner breakfast. Arrived as the place opened and watched it fill within 10 minutes! Good portions. Good coffee. Dated but clean decor. Service was prompt and food came out quickly. I second the comment that toast is slathered in butter (not necessarily a bad thing). Felt pressured to leave as soon as my food was done the server topped up my coffee and mentioned the line outside.

Have been going here for sometime when I know I'm going to get a really good meal. Today was no different. I ordered the Duke Point which goes for 16.50, comes with bacon, ham and sausages, hashbrowns and two eggs and toast. I ordered an extra egg and cut everything up before I took the picture. Food was exceptional. As some say they lavish the bread with more butter than normal so be aware to say something if that's not your thing. My only issue is they're a little slow on supply refills of water. The place can be a bit echoey due to the design of the building. The staff are friendly and you can tell they enjoy working there.

I have been coming here since they were husky house downtown for a total 17 years… Nothing has changed still the best burger you’ll ever have in BC. Best breakfast/lunch location on the island by a lot. When I come to the island it’s my first and last stop prior to departure. Greatest place on earth!

Was really excited to try this place due to the positive reviews. We had to wait to get in, and it took a long time to get our food, but when it arrived it was amazing. Definitely our new favourite breakfast place!

My club had turkey scraps which had some bones. And the soda was from a can. Not my favorite. My husband did enjoy his burger.
