Reviews for The Pantry Restaurant Nanaimo in Nanaimo, BC
Saw the senior 25% discount sign. Went in and ordered omelet . Bill came at end no 25 % discount. Server told me I had to... order off senior something and it was all detailed in the menu. Well I did not see that and no one either person seating me orserver mentioned anything. Won't be back, ever. Read more
***update- I added a picture of their turkey dinner...serving was huge, tasted like a home cooked meal! Sometimes it's just... easier to go out for Thanksgiving; no dishes, no cooking, no mess! 60+ Menu! Great choices! $13.49 for fish and chips and ifyou go there on a Monday, an additional 50% off, with a beverage. I enjoyed my fish with a salad, which was quite satisfying.Can't beat the price! Tip: if you are super hungry, best to order from the regular menu, as the Prime Timer's portions aresmaller. Read more
I'm.not sure what has happened. The food was extremely undesirable. The burger was so greasy. My son didn't finish it. My pork... chop was was so very small and thin it looked like a piece of sandwich meat. Service was slow and not very friendly until theypresented the bill. I am very disappointed with the complete experience this time. The washroom looked like it hadn't beenmaintained. Lock broken tissue was almost out. Tissue all over the floor and toilet. I am very sad to see how much thisestablishment has gone down in the few months since I was last here. It will be a very long time before I return Read more
Really great food, the patio was nice to enjoy. Shaila was awesome and very friendly!
Great food, for the most part the service was good, our bus-person worked hard and was there right when we needed him as he was... attentive. Things went south when I over heard a comment from our waitress as I was coming back from the washroom and the totallack of appreciation for the gratuity. Tips are not an entitlement they are earned. Get over yourself. Read more
I ordered the "homemade" chicken pot pie. It was just okay, wouldn't order again though, the filling of the pot pie was kinda... gritty, the crust felt a bit doughy. The salad on the other hand, was great. We sat on the patio, which is lovely. The serverwas nice. Parking is kinda terrible. So will most likely have to park in a further spot in a sketchy area. Unless you luck outas someone is leaving. The Pantry has been a restaurant my family has eaten at for over 30 years. Read more
I hadn't eaten here since the pandemic began. It wasn't as good as I remember. The staff was new and not overly friendly. The... mashed potatoes were only semi-mashed and the roast beef was luke warm. Read more
My boyfriend and I went to the location in downtown Nanaimo. First impression: worn booth seats, menu was full of typos. Are... they this careless with food too? I ordered anyway. Food: Clam chowder was perfect. I also ordered a burger with a salad. Seemslike the salad was one of those ?salad in a bag? salads with added dried cranberries and almond pieces. Burger was cooked fully,patty made well but the lettuce was wet. Kinda gave the burger a watery taste. Boyfriend had the fish and chips. They weren?toverly battery which is good. Overall, it was an okay restaurant. But there?s room for improvement. Server gave good service. Read more
