12/22/2024 visit: I know in my previous review I said I would never return. However, I was out holiday shopping and I wanted to grab a cup of coffee and a cup of soup and this was the closest diner along my route. I can’t believe that almost a year later I had a similar experience. I sat down and watched server after server walk past me, without acknowledging me at all. After 10-minutes, I just walked out. I removed another star. If I could give zero, I would. I’ll continue to go out of my way to give Pandora diner my business.
(Previous review) We visited this location for breakfast and have been here several times before. We were seated but the server in our section kept passing our table. Not once did she say good morning or even acknowledge us with a glance. After waiting for longer than expected, I witnessed her mumbling something to another server who then nodded and said, “Ok, I got it.” and she made her way over to us and took our orders. The food arrived in a decent amount of time and was very good. The server who took our order then went back over to her section, which was on the other side of the restaurant, and the original server who ignored us continued to serve the people in our section. When we finished eating, my husband had to get up and find someone to bring us our check and to-go containers. We won’t...
Read moreDivine food followed by one of the most heartbreaking rude experiences I've ever had, I am still in tears. It is fathers day and on our way out with my leftovers after eating with my best friend, our 'nice waitress asked us why we weren't with our dads, innocent question sure, so I try to let her know my dad had died this year. She then makes a face and tilts her head and said shouldn't you be at the cemetery then? I preceded to let her know that he had only just died this April and we haven't even spread his ashes yet, that was happening at the end of the July. I've been depressed and crying all day and went out with a friend to try to feel better and your going to try to make someone feel bad for not being at the cemetery to see there dad? I'm all for family values but to push them on someone especially in a family death situation is sick and heart breaking. I paid and left bawling, and I still crying as I type this and smoke. The words might sound small or meaningless to some, but body language, tone, judgemental looks, and condescending words about my dad's death... this was absolutely horrid... amazing food and the owners seemed pleasant and talked to the customers during dinner. Was going to leave five stars for taste, but leaving in tears from dinner...
Read moreI really have nothing to complain about with my 3 star rating it is just that coming in for breakfast is a hard to to rate a restaurant as most are pretty much the same thing. I did want to try the french toast and saw it in a sampler type offering that came with bacon, sausage and a couple eggs. Had they included home fries with it that might have made it a little better but although the bacon was good and the eggs fresh the sausage seemed a little on the fatty side though not bad, just now real good. As for the french toast I will probably just stick to eating my own as it is still the best I have eaten anywhere. I came up here for the day from South jersey and will consider returning if in the area again and wanting a meal butt will probably try to come a little later and try a lunch item or an early dinner. If the food with that visit is better and worth coming back for I will revise this review so don't let this deter you from checking them out if you are nearby. The employees were all very friendly and took the time to answer questions as well as being prompt with the delivery...
