Really enjoyed our meal! I could have eaten bowl after bowl of the soup, and we all had enough leftovers for our dinner the next day.

First I live close And have ordered to go from there 6x. 5 out of 6x , they have messed my order up. This is crazy to me. I will never order from there again. read more

Ordered chicken francaise with mashed potatoes and carrots. Came with soup, got the chicken soup which was delicious. When the main meal came I noticed the mashed potatoes had a hair in it. The waiter took that back right a way and brought back a new dish of potatoes. Normally you get three pieces of chicken only received two pieces of chicken. Manger never came over to check about the mashed potatoes. read more

Great diner with an extensive menu. Quality of food is very good with large portions with enough to take home for another meal. The service is excellent with a friendly, attentive and capable staff. A beautiful spotless diner. I highly recommend stoping on your to or from the Jersey Shore for a pleasurable dining experience. read more

First time at this diner. The food was excellenT. My wife and I were greeted immediately and the waitress Ashley was very helpful. Since it was our first time she helped us navigate the very extensive menu. We both chose from the dinner sandwich menu. My wife had a Chicken Parm sandwich, that was a very generous portion. It came with fries, soup and a small side coleslaw. I had the Jack Daniel's burger which had the same side. The service was great and my wife took half of her sandwich home since the portion was so big. The chicken Soup and my Lentil soup was hot and flavorful. The diner had an wonderful diner/restaurant feel. All around a very good first meal and the price was reasonable. We definitely want to come back soon. read more

Really a solid Diner! Good to see. Reasonable. Nice portions. But i love the service. We had a young lady named Briana. Excellent service!! She does a great job! read more

Went on Father's Day. Figured it would be slammed and it was! However, they were quick to sit us after about a 20min wait. Food was very hot and tasty, service was great! I really enjoyed the new pandora diner! read more

The food was bland all of it from the salad to the main course even the bread the only thing that had any type of flavor was the icecream dessert service sucked took forever to get our food just all around blah never again.. read more

We were surprised, in a good way. Yes, you won't get fine dining here. However, you will get superb value with good cooking. Food served HOT! Too often food is not served hot in a restaurant. Pandora serves hot food hot. The value of our meals is what took this to 5 stars. The hamburger and fries were cooked as ordered with a good beefy flavor. The Fries were served crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Chicken croquets were 2 huge Croquets of very good meaty goodness. Chicken Parmesan was a large cutlet, moist and seasoned well. With the sides of Rice Pilof and a Veg. Outstanding. The Mile High Meatloaf was a large portion of well-seasoned meatiness, the Mash was a creamy blend of Idaho potatoes. The Crab Soup that comes with the meals was a generous bowl of creamy seafood-infused fluid. Steaming Hot when served which we appreciated! The meals included dessert which was your run-of-the-mill. We did order 2 pieces of Cheese Cake and a Lemon Cake. Cheesecake was good, Lemon Cake was too Lemony extract flavor for my taste. $80...For the above feast. We will be back. read more

They can't handle the workload... glad they're busy; but, take out order was over 1 hour to prepare

Since the opening the place has a couple of changes. Staff is well put together and welcoming. Inside is clean. The food is nothing special. Food comes out hot so that's a plus. Good price and portion Normal diner I would recommend for locals. read more

Ordered Fettuccine Alfredo. It came out as just a bland plate for $15. They wanted $5 to add chicken, $8 for shrimp and $10 for scallops. I don't eat bottom feeder seafood. It's ridiculous, also they served my brothers Tarter sauce so runny it turned the fried fish soggy. I will never go back again. I will never eat out again. I ordered a hamburger and have been waiting over 25 min. And still waiting .Inflation is rampant with places to eat out these days. I'm done.... read more

We've had a couple of bad experiences with the hostess who just happens to be the owners daughter, when we go in there and request our favorite waiter, she circles around the table like we did something wrong all through our meal, although we had a superior waiter, the food could be a little better, especially pastas and soups. we had been going in there maybe two times a week, we feel it's time to stop, why would you spend your money where the people are not friendly and make you feel uncomfortable, the food could be much better. read more

Mediocre tasting food, I think it stays open due to location only. Service was fine but I witnessed the manager being mean to our new waitress. I won't be going back just because of that read more

So we decided to give this a try. Its the old Pete's Diner. The menu is huge. We kept it simple. Little basket of bread was warm but stale. We ordered Cheeseburger and wings. Cheeseburger seemed like quality meat but was dry and tasted like it was cooked on a grill that hasnt been cleaned for years. That burnt grill taste. Not awful but not real good. Fries and coleslaw were good. The wings were $17 for 10 wings. $17. At a diner. I realize chicken prices were high at one point but for months they have been cheap along with all chicken. These places need to check themselves on wing prices. They were ok. Standard diner buffalo wings. The meals do come with soup or salad and wings came with desert. I upgraded to the French Onion. It was pretty good but there was an herb in there I could not place that should not have been in it. Otherwise it was good. Salad was nice except tomatoes were shriveling. Dont serve shriveling vegetables. Overall it was ok but I wont go back. For $46 I could get better quality food elsewhere. read more

Definitely get your moneys worth here. Love the french onion soup. Music is great. Burger was delicious. Lunch options are delicious. Service was good and quick. Good place to stop for lunch. read more

We went to the Pandora on early Sunday afternoon, March 24. It was crowded (a good sign), so we had about a 15 min. wait for a table, which we expected. After we were seated, a waitress took our drink orders. Shortly after, a different waitress took our drink orders. We told her another server already did it, and she said she was now our waitress. Well, okay, no problem. The second waitress took our orders. My wife got barbecued chicken and ribs and I ordered chicken croquettes. My wife had her salad, and I had cream of turkey soup. Both were good. With them came a variety of rolls, which were fine. We waited a good while for our entrees (it was very busy). My wife was given her ribs and chicken, but they brought me the wrong entree. I told the waitress it was wrong, and she stood there almost like she didn't believe me. Then, in front of us, she and that first original waitress were talking about the issue, then told me it was a mix-up and they'd get me the right entree. They must have sore feet because they kept stepping on each other's toes. It took around 20 minutes for my croquettes to arrive. My wife was almost done with her dinner and I sat there eating more rolls. Although there were apparently two of them, neither waitress ever asked during that 20 min. if we wanted beverage refills or more rolls or anything. When my croquettes came, they were huge and hot and tasted good. But (and I kid you not) about 2 min. after I started eating, one of the waitresses came with boxes and a check and asked if we wanted our dessert "to go." My wife was stressed and had had enough of this, so I said we'd take rice pudding (which came with the dinners) to go. She brought out two small cups of rice pudding. I managed some bites of my croquettes, but we had boxes on the table and we just wanted to go after this haphazard and "rush us along" experience. There was no apology, or even, say, an offer to upgrade us to cake slices for dessert rather than pudding or ice cream. I understand it was super busy but don't hustle us out after you made the mistake and took forever to rectify it. So much for a relaxing Sunday dinner! The food was good but the service was a mess. read more

Very cleaned, the food tasted great, and very big portions. They also have good customer service, and they are always busy.

For the record, I did contact the diner prior to writing this review but they chose to ignore my complaint. This was our 2nd visit and our last. We ordered broiled crabcakes but were served imitation crab (surimi) instead. If I pay for crab, I think it is reasonable to expect crab...not fish. I don't trust anything on the menu now. I am willing to bet Tilapia is being sold as flounder. Keep away! read more

I live in the area & tried here 4 times before finally giving up. Yes it's always packed but mainly because it's the lesser of 2evils the other being Geet's. For 2 of the times, the dinner food just tasted poor quality . We decided to try breakfast. The first time was slow service & it seemed the food was sitting awhile before we got it but was edible. The last time was just atrocious! We got seated & waited a good 15 minutes fora waitress to get our drinks. Then it was another 5 before she took our order. A half hour later, no one came back to the table to check on us & no food. After another 5 we flagged down the hostess & after explaining the situation she tracked down our waitress who we assumed paniced & just grabbed 2 meals that were sitting in back & came to our table to serve them. When we told her it wasn't what we ordered she didn't apologize & wanted to give us something else we didn't order. With the wife being totally upset we just got up & left & haven't been back since. If this was the best, I'd hate to see even the runner up! read more
