Reviews Summary

This establishment is widely praised for its excellent sandwiches, particularly the chicken salad on fresh homemade bread, along with other deli offerings like pulled pork and breakfast sandwiches. Reviewers consistently highlight the high-quality, fresh ingredients and homemade baked goods, including outstanding bread, pies, cookies, and donuts. The ice cream, milk in glass bottles, and unique treats like "chookies" (chocolate-dipped Oreos) are also standout favorites.

Customer Reviews

It's just a cute little country store with dry stock goods, meats and a deli. Service was prompt for being as busy as the gentleman was. I ordered the turkey club and a grilled cheese for my son. I...mmm.... I need to go back and get another one. Oh my goodness gracious me!!! ??

Overall, this is an excellent bulk food store. I have noticed a slight decrease in options though. Over the last year or so the amount of stuff available has noticeably decreased. Definitely not as jammed packed with their delicious snacks like it used to be. Food is still excellent though and the workers are always fantastic.

Really good food, excellent service, tons of spices, sweets, and groceries. Had a burger, and it was very good.

Chicken salad was OK. Very mushy for me. Bread was freshly baked but kept falling apart. It's a little grocery, restaurant combo.

Sandwiches are fantastic, made to order, and very prompt. The coffee grinder is a nice convienance with a wide available selection. There is a wide selection of goods here; candy, drinks, meats, spices, snacks, jams, and spreads, and baked goods. The red pepper relish is awesome and the fry pies are a great baked treat.

Food is always hot and fresh and cooked to order. Never disappointed and get food prepared in a timely fashion.

It's been a week or so since I went to the Dutch Pantry, so I've had some time to think about what I am about to say - I'm pretty sure the maple glazed donut is the best donut I have ever had in my entire life. I just can't think of one aspect of it that could be improved. Perfected. Good work. All the other donuts I'm sure are very good as well ... The breakfast sandwich was very good too, much better than fast food restaurants.

They serve donuts Friday and Saturdays. You make make a reservation beforehand because they tend to sell out pretty fast.

Great made-to-order deli sandwiches here! Served hot or cold, panini pressed or grilled. Excellent Amish style grocery store as well.

Best donuts, they are huge. Unfortunately only served on Friday's and Saturday while they last

Best sandwich before work in the area. Fresh and healthy selections. Farm food with a home made feeling. Thanks

This is a quaint little shop. The homemade pastries were delicious. I also highly suggest the Concord grape juice. No extra sugar added. The is anything you could hope for with regards to fresh home cooking.

Love this place. I'm very picky when it comes to my salads. I usually make them myself. Today I purchased coleslaw and macaroni salad. I AM VERY IMPRESSED..DELICIOUS. will purchase them again. Next visit I will try the other salads Wish I went there sooner. Not to mention their sandwiches are also delicious and their pickled asparagus OH I can go on and on

Sandwiches are awesome !! Great lunch stop while antiquing in Ruckersville

I've ate 4 today, as a local this establishment has always and will continue to have my business.

Great homemade, made-to-order sandwiches, breads, donuts, and pastries. It's also fun to walk around the store and find things you don't usually find in other stores, like bison meat, scrapple, and all kinds of trail mix and candies. I ?? this place!

Great lil Sandwich shop! All kinds of items from candy,fresh eggs and several kinds of meat! Great lil spot for lunch,good for soup of the day or your favorite freshly made sandwiches! Few inside seating available also. Check it out,you won't be disappointed!!

Wonderful experience! Great food!

My granddaughter and I traditionally visit The Dutch Pantry for her birthday and a day together. We love the wonderful and delicious sandwiches. The staff and choices are perfect. We love The Dutch Pantry and looking through all the items. Billie

I love the sandwiches here! The quality is through the roof and it comes with a decent sized slab of meat. Staff is super nice but the prices are just a hair too high. But honestly it's worth the pay off for how amazing everything else is! Also it's bit out of the way. Def check it out because it's one of the best sandwich places in the whole area.

I have enjoyed this wonderful store for years now. They have the best sandwiches in Greene County as well as the most amazing fresh-baked goods you could imagine. Their service has always been prompt and courteous as well. I look forward to my next visit to the Dutch Pantry, which will be in just a few days.

Cute little deli with BEST donuts we've ever had EVER. The glazed and Bavarian were our favorites. Their bread was so good, when you toast it, it's very different from any we've had (in a good way). Lots of little homemade goodies to brighten your day.

Nice little store that's similar to Yoder's but 10 miles closer to Charlottesville. I recommend stopping here first because while they're smaller and don't have nearly the inventory of Yoder's they might have what you're looking for and it'll save you some time if you're coming from C-ville. They have lots of the same jams, jellies, baking products, snacks, deli, etc.

Love this place! The sandwiches alone are worth the trip, but this place has so much more to offer. From dry goods to local meats and dairy products, they have an awesome selection of "pantry" items. Definitely check this place out!

We stopped in for breakfast on a trip through the area. The food is so good! I?m both glad and sad I don?t live close. I?d be here all the time? but I?d weigh 300lbs if I did!

Sandwich was mediocre and the tables were dirty.

I wish I had done a pic, 4" high Virginia ham, freshly fried eggs, cheddar cheese on homemade sourdough bread for breakfast in a quick minute. My wife says why do you leave a half hour early to go to work, I sheepishly smile and say I may pick up something on the way. When I go to heaven the fabulous counter staff will be serving me this three squares a day, well I might put on a couple pounds :)

The milk here is fantastic, so are the eggs, and coldcuts. Chicken salad is similar quality to yoders. We come here every week. The fresh baked bread is amazing highly recommend it is super delicious. So serve that old-school milk in glass bottles. Is the best quality milk I have ever had.my son Loves it

Ordered a German Chocolate cake from them. It was extremely dry. I could have just bought cake mix from Walmart and made it myself if I wanted that. Soup is bagged. Not sure if it?s homemade or not. Rude.

The deli in Dutch Pantry is AMAZING! Although its relatively small, it's big on flavor & goodness! Best tasting sandwiches here & made to order with REALLY tasty, fresh ingredients! YUMMY!

Great small shoppe selling kitchen staples at great prices. The sandwiches were delicious. Kind people. I'm not from the area but when I take another trip I will be sure to stop by again.

We live pretty close to Dutch Pantry and are so glad we do. They have a little bit of everything, from deli meat to cheeses to bulk goods to homemade doughnuts on Fridays and Saturdays. They have a dipping station and sell ice cream by the scoop. At the deli, they make sandwiches to order. My favorite is the BLT with cheddar and mayo on toasted sourdough. Big selection of jams, jellies, fruit butters, and relishes. If trying to get a doughnut on the weekend, get there early because they do sell out.

Their deli is amazing. There's a great selection of baked goods and items to make your own meals truly from scratch. Stop in and try one of their sandwiches.

An unassuming storefront which hides an amazing place to pick up baked goods, deli sandwiches, and all kinds of spices, kitchenware and groceries. Small seating area. Friendly staff. We will be back - highly recommend.

It is a nice place we stopped by to pick up a quick lunch and a few Amish products. The sandwiches have generously portions, and tasted delicious. I will definitely recommend this place and go back there again.

great deli selection. everything i have had here has been amazing.

I stopped here in search of something sweet and was not disappointed. They sell pies by the whole but also quarter pieces which was perfect for me. I also tried their chocolate chip cookies, which were a delight.

Has Dutch pantry changed ownership? We did not get the good quality of sandwiches and potato soup today. The BBQ sandwiches had very little BBq on them. The potato soup was a yellow mexican style potato soup. Not the original potato soup. My Sandwich bread tasted old. Even though I had my bread toasted It still tasted stale. The tomato on my sandwich was stale and old. Where are those great sandwiches and soup they used to have?? Guess I'm going back to Yoder's

Love the breakfast sandwiches here! They wrap them nicely and I sometimes like to take one up into Shenandoah with me

Some of the best food I?ve ever had. The turkey sandwich was fixed like my mother made it. Highly recommended.

I was a little upset today wrote my order for sliced deli products. Lots of sandwiches was made that came in after me it was over 20 minutes I asked three times about my order. Please dont put sandwich customers before also helping other orders. This has never happened before!

Excellent sandwiches and they have a bunch of fresh and dry ingredients you can buy separately I recommend stopping by 100%

Great sandwiches! They definitely don't skimp on the meat! I like to grab a bowl of chicken salad whenever I stop in.

Dutch pantry is always fantastic. The sandwiches are made to order and the staff is always delightful. Do yourself a favor and stop there if you're nearby.

Fantastic sandwiches. By far best in the area. Love the selection of dried goods/spices/jellies and desserts. This will be a new routine.

This is a great place to pickup some quick groceries and or get a deli sandwich made while you wait. I have been going here for years and will continue to do so.

Oh my gosh. I can't say enough about this place. Try the chicken salad. Try the BBQ! The bread. The icecream. The sausage gravy!!!! Everything is amazing. Great food and awesome service!!!

Best sandwiches around and all kinds of delicious foods and tasty treats! Great fresh donuts on Fridays & Saturday?s

Best sandwich shop you can find for a great price. We never leave this establishment dissatisfied.

Best breakfast sandwiches around. Period. End of story. :-) As well of course as a bunch of other wonderful food, goods, and products!

Probably my favorite place to eat in ruckersville. It's not fancy, but they make great sandwiches. I think it's worth getting the grilled option.

Absolutely love this place. I always over spend when I go trip back in time they have all kinds of candies and such like cornmeal ECT that is hard to find a a retail store

The best sandwiches at an awesome price on fresh homemade bread!! So much better than any fast foodod place for lunch.

Great sandwiches... and they are NOT stingy with their portions of meats/toppings!

Great food, quality, quantity! Fresh everything! The sandwiches are soo good!! Yum ??

Went in for a sandwich, they have Boars Head meats, I got a BLT it was the best I have ever had, cost a little more but well worth it A++++

The best donuts ever! The sandwiches are made to order with homemade bread and toppings. Generous portions.

Love their chili, donuts, deli meats, bread, pretty much love everything here too many good things to list

Small lil whole in the wall with the best fresh sandwiches ?? I've ever ate

It is miss-categorized as a health food store. They carry imitation flavorings, Coke/Pepsi and items that health food stores do not carry by definition. It is a small grocery store with bulk items, a deli and some local meats and dairy products. They are similar to an Amish-type grocery store.

Love their sandwiches and doughnuts!

It's a great place to do your shopping and to eat Gray sandwiches but don't go there around noon cause they're always short of help

BEST deli cut meats anywhere in town. Great pies and other desserts also, all homemade.

Great home made food. Worth every penny. The pies are delightful. The breads are outstanding.

First time I've been there. They have a great deli counter and sandwiches and a good assortment of candies that u cant find elsewhere

Good selection of local and PA foods. Good breakfast sandwich excellent value .

Cute shop, has lots of healthy products, they have deli and ice cream, they even make sandwiches, you must stop in when you can.

Pulled pork sandwiches and chocolate dipped oreos called "chookies" are amazing. Everything is delicious and fairly priced

Great food. The chicken salad sandwich was the best. Highly recommend this place!

Tasty sandwiches, fresh and delicate. Good value if you are stopping for a quick bite or takeout.

Great customer service and really good doughnuts. I bought 2 dozen for my work and everyone really loved them!!!!

Ive passed by this place while traveling 29, never knowing what it was. Glad I finally stopped. Great selection of Rada knives.

Got alot of different spicy HOT CHEESES..and some dry noddles and split pea soup mix that i cant wait to try...

Best Sandwiches in town, friendly staff and delicious, good for you items. A real gem.

Best ice cream I have ever had. Best bread. Great selection of candies at very good prices.

Very awesome down home vibes has a awesome owner excellent food fresh clean atmosphere ???? highly recommend you visit an shop

We love the Dutch Pantry. The folks who work there are always friendly and make some of the best sandwiches around.

Why have a ?masks required? sign when no one seems to care? Half the customers not wearing masks, cashier and deli staff either wearing a chin strap or mask below the nose. It?s not that hard, people

They make great strawberry pie. They have other homemade products. Delicious.

Highly recommended. Healthy foods, herbs and locally produced items. Worth your time and hard earned money. Excellent cooked foods.

Chicken Salad on Sour Doe bread, it's the ticket. Great place to pickup really good snacks.

Home made rice crispy treats and chocolate mint ice cream. Small icecream was huge!!

Great breakfast sandwiches and lots of other amazing stuff.

Pretty good but further up the road is Yoder's with more variety and a petting zoo!

Best place for food an snacks an stuff havnt seen in yrs staff is always happy to help you

There is only The Dutch Pantry while in Ruckersville. Get a sandwich and buy farm fresh eggs!
