“This place is GREAT! Old-school feel and menu with amazing Americana food to go with it and a good price point for everything. I had the The Cowboy Burger – Bacon, BBQ sauce & fried onions topped with cheddar/jack cheese blend, Chili Cheese Dog that was down right delicious, onion rings, and fries. If in the area you should really stop by.“

“We went for our anniversary dinner last night and everything was amazing. It didn't feel like a restaurant, if felt like we were invited to someone's home for dinner. The front of house was super sweet and attentive and the food was amazing. It's almost 24 hours later and I think I'm still full. The mac n cheese dish is to die for!! We will most certainly be back!“

“Best burger I’ve had in Jersey! Great service! Daily specials are great too!“

“On a whim on a chilly mid-morning Sunday in January my neighbor and I stopped in here for brunch. I had the biscuits and gravy special with potatoes and eggs, the service was impeccable. Coffee was excellent, and the dessert (apple blossom with vanilla gelato) was absolutely amazing. I definitely will be returning with wine for dinner in the near future. Definitely a hidden local gem!“

“Everything was great. Everyone is nice and very friendly. Good place to eat and explore the market, get away from the hustle and bustle. Will be back!“

“This place is excellent. Keep in mind its cash only, with an ATM located inside. My first time there was sort of forced, when i was younger i was not open to different food like this. Now i find myself at this establishment multiple times a month. This time i had the saint patty day special. Corned beef with cabbage, and potato soup. Very good. Also tried the brat salad (i think it was called) which is german bologna with tomatos, onions, and maybe cucumber. It was extremely good. The kartoffelpuffers (potato pancakes) are amazing, the spatzel (fried german noodles) are my favorite. And the beef stew is like no other. Ive never had anything bad off this menu. The desserts are great as well.“

“Braddocks is part of my family history. This is Medford must do for locals and tourists alike.“

“Great dinner on 1/24/25. The pork special was outstanding. Excellent salad plated with the pork steak. Perfectly cooked. Moist and tender. Starters of clams casino and calamari also wonderful. Great service.“

“Fantastic little airport restaurant serving delicious breakfast and lunch! Right next to the runway, it's a perfect place to watch airplanes and helicopter take offs and landings. The kids loved this as much as I did, would like to go back again soon!“

Review for Kailyn (server) and Lindsay (awesome manager)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Pandora Diner in Hainesport

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Pandora Diner in Hainesport, and we were absolutely blown away by the exceptional service we received. Our server, Kailyn, was nothing short of amazing. She was attentive, personable, and had a fantastic sense of humor that made our dining experience both enjoyable and memorable. Her excellence in service truly stood out, and we couldn't have asked for a better server.

However, the outstanding service didn't stop with Kailyn. We also have to give a huge shoutout to Lindsay, the manager. It's clear that great service starts at the top, and Lindsay's leadership is a testament to that. Her dedication to training and mentoring her staff is evident in the way every server, especially Kailyn, performs their duties with such professionalism and warmth. Lindsay's ability to create a positive and supportive work environment is what makes this diner a cut above the rest.

We've visited other Pandora locations, including the one on Route 206, which was good, but Lindsay's management at the Hainesport location is truly top-notch. We've seen firsthand how well she treats her team, and it's no wonder that everyone excels in their roles. The atmosphere she fosters is one of excellence and genuine care for both the staff and the customers.

Our dining experience was nothing short of amazing and fun, and we can't wait to come back. The Pandora Diner in Hainesport has become our favorite spot, thanks to the incredible service from Kailyn and the exemplary leadership from Lindsay. We love coming back to this diner and look forward to our next visit!

See you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

“the food here is the best traditional Puerto Rican around service was the best food is extremely fresh. I will be eating a lot stop in and give them a shot. keep up the great work“

“The only cheesesteak I have ever eaten. Absolutely no need to try another! The best! Donkey’s Place Too is worth the trip!“

“It really tastes good, and the service attitude is also very good.“

“Great service & food! We will definitely go back!“

“I took my husband here on Friday for his first flight lesson. Wow, what an amazing experience he had. I enjoyed the pool and the bar while he was in flight. I heard the bands on the weekends are a lot of fun. It is extremely sad that the owners chose to form an LLC and turn this beautiful property into affordable housing units and townhomes. I came here back in the 80's with my parents. A lot of history and memories will be lost when this facility closes.“

“Very friendly & helpful people“

“Just had an amazing chicken Parm sub with vodka sauce.“

“I highly recommend Tara's Cozy Kitchen!! The breakfast sandwiches are all on fresh baked Kaiser rolls! The donuts are so good and also baked fresh!! Definitely a must try!!“

“Difficult to turn into the parking lot sometimes even when there's only mild traffic around. Pretty small store with a fair selection. It's unfortunate how alcohol is getting more expensive every year. Not the shop's fault for that last part“

“Good bartenders cold beer and good food. What more could you want from a local bar.“

“Food was ok. Pickle chicken sandwich was good. Fries were cold. An Ithaca beer on tap was $8.50!! Dogfish IPA $9.50. Just a bit steep! Beer is cheaper at a casino in AC!!“

“I stopped by last Tuesday after I had some dental work, and had the chili and some onion rings, both were tasty, I also had a few draughts and a flight of their seasonal brews.
They have a great selection of draughts, it was the first time,I believe, I had Rolling Rock on tap.
My stepdaughter and a few coworkers stopped by for a going away party for a colleague, she wasn't that thrilled with the place, she doesn't drink though, and doesn't like pubs in general.“

“We had a big order and everything was really good. Singapore Mei fun extra spicy was awesome Beef egg Foo young was good Generals tso chicken. There sauce was not as thick as others I've had. Breading was a tad heavy Vegetable delight was really tasty.“

“Everything about this diner is great. Never saw the place dirty. The staff is always nice and friendly with great service.“

“Lori was my server when my husband and I came to eat on Veterans Day. She was quick to greet us and inform us of the Veterans Day menu being offered that day. Our drinks and food were delivered quickly and exactly as ordered. My husband’s medium rare steak was cooked to perfection. Lori really went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t lift a finger, or have any needs during the course of our dinner. She also made sure to thank my husband for his service to this country, as we thanked her for her service to us. We will be back to see her!“

“Great dishes Your son is incretable“

“Brisket & waffle fries were SUPERB. Service was Outstanding“

“Incredible staff, wings, and music! What place has live jazz weekly? Highly recommended!“
