When I first visited the Burlington area in 1996, the first place I ate was Alfredo’s on Church Street. My second Vermont meal was lunch at the Country Pantry.
Since then, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the rural diner.
I’ve stuck with it through multiple owners, the latest of whom, Ermin Jukic and Nihad Basic, took over the restaurant at the end of September.

They need to get whoever made those Maple Cheesecakes back! They were amazing and yes sinfull.
I had breakfast at the Country Pantry a couple weeks ago. It was terrible–the worst I’ve had in a very long time. I had a Florentine Benedict and I’m pretty sure the spinach was the frozen chopped variety. The hollandaise sauce was basically flavorless. The home-fries looked and tasted as if they’d come frozen out of a big bag. Even the toast tasted like it was about to go stale. Better to travel a few more miles to Jeffersonville and get a real breakfast at 158 Main. I’ll never go back to The Country Pantry…well, until the next owner takes over, that is…
They haven’t been the same since the original owner closed…
