Pandora’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Carbondale

Do not listen to these bad reviews. This place is spacious, a little odd but freaking awesome. Gives off the ultimate dive bar vibes with more to offer. They have pool tables, giant connect 4, personal booths with their own TVs for you and your group to enjoy anything you want. Plus a lot of other amenities. Definitely a one of a kind place. The staff was super cool, I had a few drinks and had a great experience. Very affordable as well.

Now, the food. It blew me away, I had the flamethrower chicken wings which the name was a little off putting but absolutely amazing. Wings are perfect size, great quality, cooked perfectly and that flamethrower sauce was to die for 10/10. Sweet heat wings were also amazing 9/10. (Mind you I like hot chicken wings) Also the pickle fries were to die for. I love deep fried pickles but have never seen pickle fries. It's pickles sliced like french fries and fries. 10/10. Now I will say the beer selection was a little limited but will accommodate the average group. Not a place to get an old fashioned but definitely a place to make unforgettable memories with your friends. I was just passing through town unfortunately but this would be my only hangout if it was in my neighborhood, no doubt. I ran into one of the owners and he was instantly one of the coolest bar owners I have ever met. Look no further, go here and give it a try. I will definitely go out of my way now passing through town to get some food...

You gotta go. Hands down THE BEST wings I've ever had. Super nice and accomadating staff, and a wicked cool interior.

They've got a lil something for whatever flavor you're craving; be it that nice garlic-cheesy crunch of their Garlic Parm, the peppery island delight of their Jamaican Jerk, the creamy crunchy delight of their OG Ranch. or my personal favorite the PERFECT snacking wings that have just the right heat so you nothing can slow you down....the Cairo BBQ. I've had all these and more, and haven't had a single bad experience yet even after ordering 120+ wings throughout all my visits.

And its not just their wings that are killer. Their pickle fries? By the Gods, perfect. Every. Time. Their deep fried cauliflower? A genuine delight for those looking for something a lil different. If you live in the Carbondale area or even within a 1hr drive, you gotta go. It's worth every damn penny.

And this is only their food; their actual interior is freaking awesome! It's got that night club vibe but with a bunch of activities like video games (not the gambling kind, ACTUAL video games), a dance hall, giant Connect-Four, air hockey, pool, and more.

You gotta go, this place is the best not just for food but also for a fun night out with...

Every time I go in there I want to dance. I partied the first time, got my drinks in a timely manner and danced to my hearts content. The second time I went in the evening and ordered the tenders. My only recommendation is ask for light sauce cause they might drench it, the sauce is good enough to eat alone but I like the taste of chicken with my chicken. The atmosphere is top tier 👌🏿 I feel comfortable going there alone and I know I’ll have a good time regardless. I hope to spend more time here.

It is loud, very much a party atmosphere, you can still talk but you have to be used to...
