Pandora’s Diner: Your Go-To Spot for Hearty Sandwiches and Comfort Food

I've never been, so I looked forward to being invited by my friend. We were close to the 3pm cutoff for lunch, so we opted for dinner. Good Heavens. Pages and pages of menu options. Many with numbers beside them. My friend chose the pork loin menu, a soup starter, with roast potatoes and spinach. I chose fish and chips, with salad. While we waited a fabulous array of corn cake snd spice cake squares, and dinner rolls, with some warm, frothy butter arrived for us. What a relief not to have to struggle with miniscule cold butter units. We saw other platters fly by, and the portions were enormous. The soup looked fine, and my salad was impeccably chilled and dry, crisp, and dressing on the side. The salad was large and varied. Excellent. The entrees were most satisfactory. My friend had what looked like four boneless pork chops with bread dressing. For many, that could feed four people. A plate of roast potatoes, and a plate of sateed spinach, too. My fish and chips were four good-sized pieces of crispy fish sharing the platter with a heap of crispy fries. Dessert was included. Chocolate ice cream and a small slice of cake of the day. This was the Pandora on Route 130. Everything was wonderful. Our waitress was unforgettably good, service Excellent, and food, outstanding.

This location is the better out of the Pandora Diners. They give lots of food, pay attention to your needs & the service is impeccable. Their meals never miss! Vodka sauce is so good for being a diner! Love this location!!!!!

Came here at 3am with friends visiting in town who landed from a red eye. They were starving and ordered sandwiches. I had some pancakes and breakfast food like eggs, meat, etc The food was good, the portions were HUGEEEE & the service was great. Our server was attentive and warm.

This is my go-to diner! My husband and I love it here. We have eaten in and done take out as well. Large portions, great prices, & fresh food. Tonight we ordered the steak salad, California panini, and bacon cheddar potato skins. Both meals also included a soup. For all of this food we paid just over $40. I only wish there were more gluten free options, but always manage to find a good salad.

This is easily the best diner I have ever been to! I'm used to diner food being in the average to mediocre range, but Pandora -from the food to the service- was on another level! First, I was shocked that we only had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday night to be seated. Our waiter (Matthew I think) was also very attentive and personable, which made us feel at home while dining here. We also ended up speaking to the manager for my Mom's dish exchange, and she was also friendly and took care of the issue, no questions asked. I ordered the "famous" balsamic grilled chicken dish with rice and grilled spinach and it was phenomenal. The flavor was so strong, the meat was very tender, and the addition of the grilled vegetables was just delight. My Mom and Grandma also ravved about the seafood bisque and enjoyed their entrees as well. Even the side sald was impressive, and their Italian dressing is superb! The cherry on top of all of this is that the prices are great for what you're getting, especially since almost everything comes with a side, salad/soup and even dessert! Overall, I can't wait to come back here and am looking forward to trying some new dishes - especially since their menu is so extensive!

I'm a few days late posting this, but here's to that Lovely Young Waitress that was so kind and informative. (I'm so sorry I didn't get your name.) This Restaurant was just Awesome!!! Trucker Brent hopes to return soon.

New Jersey, the birthplace of the diner and Pandora lives up to this high standard. The food was amazing and the selection was astounding. The variety of seafood dishes alone was incredible. Just like any diner worth its reputation, the soup was great. The staff was friendly and provided enough help to navigate the enormous menu. 08/02/2025 - I have had the pleasure eating here 27 times so far and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The staff is wonderful and many have remembered my wife and I from previous visits. The atmosphere is casual and very inviting but the food though is why I travel at least an hour to get here from New Castle, DE. It is worth the trip. I especially adore the seafood and specifically their salmon dishes. I had never been a true salmon enthusiast until I tried Pandora. Between my wife and I, wehave had most of the salmon dishes. My recent gastronomic adventure was with their Jack Daniel's Salmon. I had it with the recommended rice and broccoli and was not disappointed. This is a marvelous dinner and I have enjoyed every meal I have had here. I will keep coming back and recommend this location to everyone.

We really enjoyed our 1st time here. Most of the 4 to 5 star reviews mentioned here are pretty accurate. We arrived during the Breakfast Menu time it was delicious. They also serve fresh grits. The place is spacious, so I look forward to returning with my large family and for celebrations. The coffee was good too for a diner. We haven't tried their lunch or dinner, but we look forward to trying it. Oh and they also MIXED THE CHEESE WITH THE SCRAMBLED EGGS I dislike when cooks slap a wad of cheese on top of my eggs. Thanks chef! Service was so great! The staff kept everything clean. Dani was our server and she was SUPER AMAZING and a big part of the reason we're returning. She was mindful of the customers experience, nice/friendly and down to earth. They have cakes on display also. We didn't try it, but will when we return. This will be 1 of our new regular spots to dine for sure.
