This is a perfect place to eat and enjoy the warmth of the staff. The breakfast was delicious, but the service was fantastic. Even though we were just passing through, if I ever return to Eureka, I would definitely come back to eat here. Highly recommended. read more

When my dad was active in the ham radio club, they would have their meetings here once a week. Even though he's not active, they still do. He's always said good things, but I've never eaten here. I finally decided to come in today. It's a nice place. It's clean, and everybody is friendly. Just a nice simple neighborhood restaurant vibe. I decided to go with the taco omelette. Taco meat, cheddar, onions, olives, and diced tomato. It also came with a salsa, guac,, and sour cream on the side. Instead of potatoes, I got a nice cup of fruit. The omelette was big, and it was delicious. Lots of fillings, the beef was well seasoned, and the other taco fillings just went well with each other. The sour cream was good, the salsa was not spicy, it had a little bit of a smoky flavor, and the guac was excellent. It had a good flavor, it was more than just mashed up avocado. The coffee was also good, and they kept my cup full. The price was very reasonable, and they do a military/veterans discount. I'm glad I finally stopped in here. I will be back. Thank you. read more

Great food always! This place never disappoints! We eat there on holidays now and let them do the cooking instead of us.

This place isn't fancy but it's good. The menu is quite extensive and includes some great deals for seniors (55+). I wasn't too hungry so just ordered 1/2 sandwich and soup. The turkey sandwich was pretty meaty and the garden vegetable soup was very tasty. The service was friendly and efficient. Will come in to try breakfast sometime soon. read more

There's something for everyone here! The service is always good and the food tastes great. It's a classic diner experience.

Great classic dinner food. Fresh ample portions. The salads were my favorite! The server was friendly, but higher than a kite!

We were staying at a hotel next door and this place was so yummy we went for dinner and back for breakfast. Great diner style, friendly service and good food. read more

Great food and best service! They are always busy for good reason. They have a big side room for large parties. Family run and locally loved. read more

Stopped in quickly around noon on a Friday recently, and it did the trick. Good service, even though we just ordered a drink, a short stack of pancakes, and a side of bacon. The food came quickly, and it was very good. Bought a souvenir, too, as we paid our check. That was easy and convenient. Glad we went to a local place rather than the Applebee's nearby, you know? Highly recommend. read more

Great service! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. We all got burgers that were pretty good. They have homemade pies, and although I didn't order one, they looked delicious. Other costumers around us were raving about the pies. read more

My son and I were passing through town and picked a Village Pantry for dinner. We each opted for the County Breakfast for dinner. We are both Disney fans, and my son was wearing his Disney hat. So we were surprised and excited to see "Mickey" pancakes in our plates! The server shared that the cook does that for her kids too. :). It was a fun experience going above and beyond. The food was great. Everything you might expect from a Pancake meal. read more

Great people, great food, great portions, great prices. Me and my husband get it to go and it's always so good..

Today was rough at work, I just wanted to eat some comfort food and not cook it lol. I had clam chowder, garlic mushroom chicken with friends, mash potatoes and a chocolate fudge sundae for dessert. The waitress was nice, we did have to wait about 20 mins for to go boxes and to order the dessert thou. But overall it was great. read more

Great diner, got the chicken fried steak dinner. After driving 6hrs to Eureka and staying at a hotel nearby, I didn't want to go venture out. Walked from my hotel to the restaurant and had a solid dinner. Don't expect anything fancy, it's a diner. Ranch dressing was amazing. Great value for your dollar. read more

Everything was great and the service was awesome. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Cooked perfectly to order. read more

Husband and I are not from the area. We were on our way to Oregon, so we stopped at a motel. Both of us were famished and drove up and down the street, and the one restaurant we saw had a long wait, so we went to Village Pantry because we saw they were open. I think they were about to close in a half hour, but we didn't know. I felt so bad after realizing their hours on the window. Anyway, they seated us and took our order. They never made us feel like we had to rush out. Which I appreciate so much. I had a country fried steak (or is it called Chicken Fried Steak?). It was delicious and my husband loved his food, too. I wish I took note of our waitresses name, but needless to say, she was very kind to us. read more

I love the pantry, quick yummy food :) good every time! Servers are so sweet and make you feel right a home! The western burger goes so hard. read more

FOOD IS SO GOOD AND SO CHEAP! Compared to Denny's I was shocked with the quality. The service was very slow though but was well worth the wait! Best meal I have had in Eureka so far and would definitely recommend. The two older gentleman in the kitchen definitely know what's up when it comes to cooking. 10/10 experience my family loved it ! read more

We should have known not to order prime rib on a diner. But hey, we've been to nice diners who cook nice steaks. Unfortunately, this place is not one of them. My husband tried to stop me from ordering the prime rib, but I didn't listen. He ended up ordering it too because I convinced him it's a steak kind'a night. I got all the "i told you so" I deserve, and more! In fairness to the serve staff, the lady who waited on us is really nice and tried her best to fix the food (or tried to convince us it's fixed). We did had a nice salad and the fries and onion rings are good. The mashed potato is obviously powdered (powdery potatoes unravel from the chunks), and the coleslaw is peppery. And here you go: medium rare prime rib is not the same as raw prime rib. Big difference! Check out the pictures and see for yourself. As a rule, we DO NOT send food back to have it fixed. But for this one, we broke our rule to give the cook a chance to redeem himself. And what do you know, I got my second round of "I told you so" from the hubby. Bottomline is, we still paid for the food we fail to eat. Also, I should have known that a $20 prime rib won't equate to that of Cattlemen's regular $30 prime rib. Not quite an expensive lesson, but lesson learned really well. read more

We've lived in Eureka for 7 years now. And we have eaten at most of the restaurants and it seems as you can't find consistency. At the Pantry it's not fine dining and I don't think they want to be. The food is very good, not expensive and consistent. The staff is friendly and welcoming and fast. This is now our favorite restaurant and as of late we eat there a few times a week. I recommend this place if you're just out for down home cooking. It's hot good and there's plenty of it. read more

First hats off to Tyler that one tall guy that served us in the restaurant and in the military, he did fantastic. Second hats off to all the cooks, they cook every dish very very well I loved everything given, the homemade cinnamon roll was extremely delicious and filling, great place. read more

Village Pantry - Homemade cinnamon roll - Diners Near Me - Eureka, California

Great food for a good price! Server was busy but still gave us super great service. Definitely not disappointed!

Usually, this place has excellent customer service and fantastic food. We're from Oregon but my husband is from Eureka and whenever we visit we always make it a point to stop for a meal. The chicken fried steak is the best we ever had! So imagine how excited we were to see that they've re-opened for dine in after all this quarantine madness! Husband and I were excited for a date night, our first real one since coronavirus hit. Unfortunately, being from a different state where our rules are different and masks are not yet REQUIRED in public places but rather suggested, we weren't aware we would need them upon entering. There were 3 other parties seated around and non of them wore masks so we assumed we were safe. From the time that we entered we were greeted very rudely by a server named Kim. In a harsh and judgemental tone, Kim demanded "where are your mask! You can't be here with out one!" She then proceeded to say nasty and rude comments implying that we were dumb for not knowing we should wear a mask while we ate, even though none of the other patrons were wearing one. I also noticed as the only colored person in the restaurant, I was the only one being treated the most unkindly. Needless to say our first evening out was very much spoiled by Kim. We might give it another try on another visit but definitely won't be back as long as Kim is dishing out that kind of customer service. read more

This place is amazing! Just moved to eureka and have tried lots of places, this is by far my favorite. My husband and I are there at least 5 times a week. The cinnamon rolls are to die for :) read more

They have since improved their bathroom scene. I had started a review quite a while back and that was a significant factor in my review, yet I had never finished and posted it. Such a big improvement! Anyhow, the main subject... dining. This is my go-to breakfast place. They should get 5 stars (I'm a tough rater, though) because this is the ONLY restaurant close by that has VEGETARIAN GRAVY and is not a specialty vegan/ vegetarian restaurant. That is very significant to me! Their gravy is delicious! And their biscuits deserve just as much praise. They have a great kids menu, grilled cheese sandwiches are super yummy. Their French fries are always great quality and satisfying. This is just a great comfort food restaurant. I noticed some time ago, they had slightly altered the menu in a good way, adding bell peppers to their home fries. Their vegetable soup was made fresh with homemade ingredients. I could tell because the carrots weren't uniformly cut as if factory processed, which is telltale and they also reinforced that they MAKE THEIR SOUP FROM SCRATCH. This place is so underrated I didn't mention yet that the prices are extremely fair. I have recommended this restaurant to my airbnb guests. read more

A quick stop on the way out of town to head towards Santa Cruz area. I was told by my traveling partner that they have the best eggs Benedict ever! So we stopped here. Interior reminds me of an old Lyons restaurant. Traditional design inside. Some of the benches could use some work. The springs are worn out so be careful when sitting down. Cleanliness is decent for a coffee shop. The server "Courtney " was pleasant and bubbly. read more

I hate writing this review as these folks did a great job during the worse part of the pandemic with the outdoor tents and service. Problem is now with indoor eating they have allowed it to be dirty and provide very poor service. Took three tries to get clean utensils. The seats and table was filthy. Very disappointed read more

Great place for a traditional breakfast. Promptly seated, coffee and waters within seconds. The server took our orders, and 10 minutes tops, we had our food. My veggie omelette was excellent and so were the potatoes. The BF's breakfast was good as well. No complaints from us. We had breakfast on Saturday around 0900 hours. When visiting again, we will stop in. No disappointments. read more

Friendly and quick service. Expect place to be busy as it is a local favorite. Portions are generous and tasty. No rush to finish and staff are patient with large groups and families. Travelers should not avoid because it's a good place to relax and have a good meal. read more
