Pandora Diner

Been in so many restaurants internationally and this is one of the Best restaurants. From your soup included on pretty much every plate (including the burgers and sandwiches), your bread basket was another 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, The atmosphere was amazing! I will definitely come back again!

My favorite diner in New Jersey! The staff is so attentive and super friendly. The food is consistently amazing. Not your typical diner food either, I usually don’t like “diner dinners” and would try to only go to diners for breakfasts or to grab a quick lunch but this place changed my mind. They have so many options and all of their dishes are of great quality, with huge portions. Whoever makes their soups has to be some wizard because they’re out of this world. It is super clean too, even the bathrooms! Definitely a shining star on the diner map of NJ. You won’t regret giving them a try.

Thanksgiving Day we came here as a group. The 6 of us all have a good time at the diner. We got a seat and good food for such a reasonable price on the holiday.

This was my 1st time here after everyone recommending it for years. It was what everyone has been saying, for the diner feel and good food this is definitely on the top 10 list for the area.

Not many places were open for the holiday... So this was a win and I'll be coming back just based on that and the food.

While very busy and yes I'm shocked for a holiday most stay at home the diner was able to keep up and provide an amazing experience on a holiday.

First timer. Loooooved this Diner. The food and desserts are superb. They serve a great amount of food that you don't see at restaurants anymore. Oh, and that tray of 5 different kind of bread, delish!! Their affordable prices will suit any budget. Very nice ambiance. Super clean and attentive servers. Will definitely go back.

We were there this past Saturday 1/27 for brunch/lunch. We had wanted to try it a few weeks ago for Dinner but were offput by the person answering the phone who was a bit rude and also unwilling to give us even an estimate of wait time. If you can give it to people at the door, you can give it over the phone (You can OVER estimate a few minutes via phone if you're worried, and/or just like you did when we came in THIS time, you can add the disclaimer that it may change based on walk-ins, etc). I understand it's popular and gets busy.

Despite this, we decided to try it this time. Once again we got some less than warm treatment from the hostess who, as my wife said, threw the menus down at our table and walked off. I would DEFINITELY train the staff working phones, greeting and seating customers to have a warmer more welcoming attitude.

So things were off to a rocky start, and my wife was regretting we came here, BUT, our waitress Tanisha QUICKLY turned it around with her welcoming, VERY informative, helpful and cheery service. She made the experience awesome and so we would definitely ask for her again. Exemplary waitress!

The food was REALLY good, with generous portions for the pricing, even for the kids meals. Good value! I can see why the place is popular. The look of the space is fine, I only deduct a star from atmosphere because of our phone and seating experience, but othewise the food and service was great.

Hope to be back again soon.

Love the Diners in NJ. This is the first time I have ever seen so many varieties of salad’s and huge portions and good prices and friendly service.

Stumbled on this place by accident and what a diamond in the rough. Best pancakes hands down. They beat ihop and that’s hard to do. Our waitress Mary was a gem and we tried to get the secret ingredient out of her but she was tight lipped! Everything was fresh and just so tasty.
Best value hands down. I was shocked at the cost that I had to get a picture as proof. Any other diners we go to cost easy $50 and this was just truly enjoyable in every aspect.
Do yourself a favor on a Sunday and take a road trip to this place…. Will be worth your time and money.

Always enough food to split a lunch.
Add the bowl of the astonishing Fresh onion soup and 2 spoons.
We often travel from NJ to PA.and always time our trips so we can be there for lunch or breakfast. If you want to eat the lunch by yourself. You won’t need dinner.

Awesome place! Been here for three times. Very good food, portions are gigantic, quickly made and customer service is great too.

Consistent 5 star experience every time, every order, every selection. All Wait staff has been efficient & attentive without hovering, Everything we have ever ordered has not only been excellently prepared and delicious, but beautifully presented as well. Just look at our photos! Dinner specials was 5 pages, what a selection !
We have never left here without leftovers for a 2nd and 3rd meal.
Hands down best diner in New Jersey. This place delivers it all, value, quality & never disappoints.

Food is always delicious and service is always great!

The food here is better than most diners I have been too but not the best there is. The food is still delicious!!! If you do go around dinner time I suggest getting the mozzarella sticks for your appetizer. They are larger than most places and are served with a delicious marinara sauce. If you like breakfast this is definitely the place to go. I normally get the three eggs served with white toast hash browns and bacon. Their bacon is never burnt or dry it is always perfectly cooked. I have come to Pandora diner for breakfast lunch and dinner on multiple different occasions and I have not had a bad interaction with any of the staff they are always friendly and very nice as long as you treat them like they are people too!

First time in the Pandora Diner. Our waitress Cabello (I hope I say her name right?)She was so pleasant. Food was excellent and delicious big portions also. They have a lots of selections on the menu. I recommend this place and definitely will come back again.

For the last two years, I have been taking the drive from Bergen County (exit 116 on the NJTPK) to Tabernacle (via exit 7 to 206) Friday nights and Sunday afternoons to take my daughter to and from a weekend retreat. So many times we wanted to stop at Pandora, but time constraints and or an extremely full parking lot dictated otherwise. Today, we decided we'd go no matter what and are kicking ourselves for not having done so, sooner.....and we totally understand why the parking lot is always so full and the diner so packed...it's THAT GOOD! The food is tasty, plentiful and provides a big bang for the buck. Save room for any of the desserts, especially the cheesecake. Rest assured we will be back!!!

Came here yesterday. It was the first place I’d eaten in town after moving away for a while. The food was excellent including the cream of broccoli soup that was hot and filling. I ended up having one of the burgers. The portions are large, the menu is extensive. I was served by Kristal, the service was excellent. I’d be back today but I’m not trying to get fat(ter)

The place to go if you like a huge portion of chicken parm. The vodka sauce parm is great too. As well as their cakes. Though not a big portion if it's a slice that comes with the meal.

Very busy place; be prepared to wait to be seated at dinner time. It's worth the wait. Classic diner food, plenty to take home. I love the Greek salad, my BF likes the chicken Parm; mum likes the Texas meatloaf.

They were able to accommodate a table of 10 without calling ahead. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was tasty and fresh. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to have breakfast or a bite to eat.

Would go there every night... Food is awesome and plentiful. Large enough portions for a hungry man or lady with the possibility to take some home. Real relaxed feeling and the staff are great!!

This place is amazing!! Food is delish and more then a helping! Our waitress was so adorable and very efficient! I wish I could move them to Indiana! I will return on my next trip!!!
