I do NOT get the love for this place. It’s a greasy spoon diner and everything there is mediocre at best.

The Pantry is an old style diner, the service is fast and efficient. It is for carnivores and people who are not afraid of real cooked egg dishes. Those below who made derogatory comments are not the type of clientele who like the place. When you order bacon and eggs you get 6 strips of thick smoked bacon, a generous pile of freshly fried cut up potatoes plus several thick slices of grilled French bread that is baked especially for the restaurant. Coffee in a heavy ceramic cup is included when you order during breakfast hours. Denny’s, IHOP and other chains cannot compare. It has survived since the 1920’s and is a true L.A. landmark similar to Phillipe’s French Dip Restaurant and the Grand Central Market and deserves respect as such. Before the pandemic it used to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is a reason why some people still wait in line to eat there, but its clientele is not hipsters and gourmet foodies–it is for the more mainstream hard working public who appreciate good and generous servings of traditional American food.
