The Pantry in Santa Fe, New Mexico has been a favorite stop for breakfast, lunch, or dinner on The Mother Road for locals and Route 66 travelers alike since 1948.

The Pantry has been offering made-from-scratch comfort food served with a smile for more than seventy-five years. The diner was founded by George Myers in 1948 but has had seven different owner-operators through the years. It is currently run by the Singley Family who have run with the mission to provide good food and friendly service.

The Pantry’s all-day breakfast menu features diner classics (like pancakes, omelets, and French toast) and New Mexican favorites (like a breakfast burrito, Chilaquiles, and Huevos Rancheros). Try the blue corn cinnamon pancakes or the Buenos Dias with pantry fries topped with chile, cheese, and two eggs.

For lunch and dinner choose from a wide selection of sandwiches, char-grilled burgers, comfort foods, and traditional New Mexican fare. Nightly specials and homemade desserts are also available.
