This is the spot if you want to feel loved and special while your order is taken and while your food is made. Also when you leave! The staff here is amazing! Especially the women on the day/s I visited. Both mornings I was greeted with love and happiness as my order was taken. We got coffee both days and also the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito. Let me tell you, the place is packed and line nearly to the door and the folks behind the counter are on their A game the whole time. The young lady who was cooking every order (by herself) was unflappable. She grinded through multiple orders at a time making each item as the tickets flew in. The young woman on the coffee station would give any busy Starbucks a run for their money. Each order made to order and delivered with smiles and pleasantries. Can't say enough about the staff here. The food was great too! The breakfast sandwich comes loaded with the only way bacon should be served and that is crispy!. The breakfast burrito is stuffed and packed full and will easily satisfy your morning hunger! They have plenty of other options as well. Highly recommend The Pantry during...
Read moreVery snobbish atmosphere. Very expensive. A bacon, egg, and cheese croissant was $13. We as African Americans are scarce on this side of Jekyll. It seems as our group of 5, we were not welcomed there. My 12 year old son walked up to the chalkboard menu in the back of the restaurant, and a male and female white patron who was sitting close looked at him like he was angry my son walked up. I also noticed people walking up and looking into the Cafe. They stared at us, and chose to not come in. In no time the customers put their plates up after we sat down. Then we were in there alone. They cleared out when we walked in. It was like being in the 1950s. I had to console my son because he had never experienced such bold racism in his life. The servers acted like they didn't want to take our orders. We live in a large city, and the racism is not as obvious. It almost turned a good time into a life changing experience for my child. Even when we went to the Turtle Cove, we got the same reactions. It was the sad part of our vacation. People of color are not wanted here. Consider yourself warned. Eat bkfst before you arrive on the island....
Read moreAs a guest who has stayed at the Jekyll club many times over the last 15 years - the “Pantry” as it is called now - formerly Cafe Solterra - is unacceptable. The service is horrendous and unprofessional, wait is long, the milk steamer was down every day we were there (4 days). $5 for a bagel and cream cheese. $6 for powdered eggs no cheese. Took 30 mins to get food. Don’t waste your time or money. Really disappointed in the new management at the club hotel. This is a very nice resort and for the price you pay to stay here you’d expect much better for the dining options. We didn’t even try breakfast at the Grand Dining Hall - as the menu has apparently changed to boring and bland. They used to have creative and delicious dining options here. It is apparent from dining at other non-club establishments on the island that the hotel is doing something wrong. We ate at both Zacharys and Driftwood Bistro and received excellent food and service for a more than reasonable price. COVID doesn’t...
