ORIGINAL PANTRY CAFE

We decided to take a field trip today and have breakfast at a Los Angeles Historical Landmark, The Original Pantry Cafe ( www.pantrycafe.com/ ). There is always a line of people waiting to get in, so we felt we should see for ourselves why this place is so popular.
My sweetie pie ordered the Ham Steak and Eggs and her mother had the Bacon and Eggs. I had the Sausage and Cheese Omelet and we split an order of Sourdough French Toast 3 ways. Potatoes, Toast and Coffee or Tea are all included with each order. The prices are reasonable, but a LOT HIGHER than what currently shows in the on line menu. The portions are large, but overall we found the quality disappointing. The restaurant is very entertaining, and the service good. Our waiter was personable and seemingly attentive; although he did neglect to refill our hot tea. Most disconcerting though was sweetie pie's ham steak, which was marbled with fat and gristle to the point of being inedible.

The 3 Tubby Tummys give today's Original Pantry Cafe breakfast one and a half thumbs up. Still, we feel that everyone sould try it at least once. Come early though, and be prepared to stand in line.
