The Pantry Crest,

722 North Palm Street, Little Rock, AR 72205

"We live near Pantry Crest, and often have meals on celebratory occasions there. Yesterday the occasion was a birthday. We had Wiener schnitzel, roast pork with knedliky (sliced dumplings), and salmon — along with some red cabbage and sauerkraut, and in the case of the healthy salmon dish, healthy spinach and asparagus. All was delicious.When we go to Pantry Crest, I remember with gratitude an evening several years ago when some friends arrived from Hamburg and we took them to Pantry Crest, which was so crowded that there were no tables. And the hostess kindly set up a makeshift table for us to sit at while we waited, and then brought us sampler glasses of a large selection of beer on tap. Tomas Bohm, the owner of Pantry Crest, then came out of the kitchen and welcomed and talked to us. Such warm welcome and hospitality make a real difference when you choose restaurants to frequent."

"So the highest compliment I can give a dish is that it's memorable. Tonight I had a bowl of the tomato lamb stew... it wasn't exactly what I expected but WOW! So very delicious! So delicious in fact that's I'd definitely say it's memorable!"

"We drove up to Little Rock to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and she wanted to try this place. We were promptly greeted and seated and soon our orders were in. The food arrived after a short time. I had the weinerschnitzel while my daughter had jeagerschnitzel, the wife had lasagne and my daughter’s boyfriend had fish and chips. Everyone was happy with their meals and we sat and chatted while dining."

"We went to the Pantry Crest around 5pm on a Friday and were able to snag a parking spot in front of the restaurant. The lot is very small, but you can probably easily find parking nearby on the side streets if it's full. Happy hour was until 6pm, so we enjoyed trying the cheese spatzel, which is very similar to a luscious Mac and cheese. The entrees weres pretty good too. We tried the special, which was ribs over Yukon gold mashed potatoes, the Hungarian sausage (they were out of brats), the veggie lasagna, and the Jager schnitzel. Everything was decently tasty, but we agreed the lasagna was the best. However, we gave 2 stars overall because of our server. She was extremely unfriendly and made us feel very unwelcome. We ate as quickly as possible and couldn't wait to get out of there and grab dessert somewhere else. From reading other reviews, I don't think this is the nornal experience and was really disappointed because we had been looking forward to dining there all week."
