Okay, so I waited a while before making this review. I'm Canadian and first learned about "Pangea" while scrolling through Tiktok. I decided that I wanted to do something different for my birthday - so - I invited my family to take the trip with me to this restaurant out in North Dallas. I have been doing my best to support more black owned businesses in 2024 but I have to say: right off the bat I was rather disappointed. We made a reservation on line and when we arrived and gave a young lady our name (description: African American,natural hair/afro textured). She looked irritated upon entry. She brought us to our seat to a covered patio/ Solarium in the back and placed out menus on a sticky wooden table. My wife asked if we could have another table that was more clean. The woman said nothing, rolled her eyes, angrily picked up the menus and placed them on the equally sticky table right next to the original table and stormed off. Honestly, at that time I wanted to leave! Just go! Anywhere... to IHOP, Waffle House, McDonald's.. anywhere. The effort that was made to get out to that restaurant with poor parking and a mean looking hostess was rather upsetting. The only positive note I can give on the Hostess is that she was very consistent because; when she sat the people that came in after us she was equally as rude from my observation. The waitress was just okay. She didn't say much. I told her it was my birthday. There was no "Happy Birthday". Towards the end of the meal she brought out a cold (almost frozen) chocolate muffin with whipped cream on it and a sparkler, placed it on the table and walked away. STILL NO HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Didn't see her again until she asked us if we were paying by cash or card.I made sure I was kind and courteous the entire visit. I'm always kind with restaurant staff.With all due respect I will never go here again or recommend it to anyone. I'm HUGE on customer service.Food was 5/10Service 3/10They made sure that bill was right tho. They didn't mess that up.

I tried Pangea on Saturday night for a party of 2. It was a busy night I guess due to all of the graduations that night. The staff was super friendly. The drinks were amazing. However I had the crab cakes and it was very dry. And I also had the bayou cat. It tasted like I was eating catfish straight from the sea and it was over cooked. The dirty rice gave more like a Spanish rice. I’m going to come back and give it another try but only bc the lemon drops were the best I’ve ever tasted and I’m a bartender myself.

Beautiful upscale looking place. Waiter/waitress not created equal. 1 visit a male was excellent and very attentive. Young lady with red hat fascinater this time not so much. She was not attentive had to wait an hour for food appetizer came but no plates. Ask a bustboy no English but he brought us plates. Hats off to chef this is an excellent concept. But if one is spending $100 plus on a meal the service should be great. Overall love it and happy to see your endeavors Sir. Hats off to chef. Lamb was so good. Red Fish must have sat for a while it was dry even with additional garlic butter sauce.

The service, the ambiance and OMG the food. When I say everything I tried was so good. Those greens were sent from heaven. Whenever I visit Dallas, I'm going to the place, Pangea!!!

I ordered chicken and waffles as well as the scampi shrimp pizza, a couple of drinks and it was really good. The waitress Ashley was very nice and at the end, a photographer asked if he could take my picture, which I happily agreed to do. 10/10 experience. Worth the hype.
We found this place on tik tok and wanted to try it out so for dinner on Saturday night it was fairly busy we got there around 9:30 and didn't get our food until 10:45: The service was really bad and the food was terrible. I got the steak and the lobster and shrimp with mashed potatoes. The steak was not seasoned and the mashed potatoes was bland. The owner did come by and apologize and comped some of the meals that we got but still we won't be back not worth the hype !

I have been wanting to try this place for months so when my mom came in from out of town, I decided to take her. Big mistake!We first pulled up to the complementary valet service that they provided. It took us about four minutes before the gentleman came out of his car to assist us. When we first walked in I addressed The hostess, because her head was down for about one minute while she was on her cell phone.Our waiter was a very nice gentleman, and I have no complaints when it comes to the service that he provided.The crab and spinach dip that we received was extremely salty and did not have enough bread to go with the dip. The beef patties were very scarce on the meat, but the flavor was good.When we received our entrées, my chicken had visible burn marks was and extremely overcooked and dry. My mother ordered the lamb, and it was also overcooked with no seasoning. We ordered the mac & cheese and greens as a side. Unfortunately, neither one of us were a fan of either. We ordered lemon drops to drink and they were good. However, they would’ve been better had the glass been chilled.A couple hours later when we returned home Both of our stomachs hit a beatbox. ?I really wanted to love this restaurant, and I do believe that they have potential. I would say, maybe a change in management and enforcing a no cell phone policy would have a huge impact.I also thought it was slightly rude to be approached about taking a photo while trying to enjoy my meal.I spent over $200 on a meal we didn’t enjoy that put us on the toilet.☹️

The service was bad, we sat at the table for 15mins before someone acknowledged us. So when I ordered I ask the waiter is the beef meat tender because I have braces. He said everything is tender. I ordered the suya combo it came with shrimp, chicken and beef. The beef was so hard and dry out. My food was cold and there was hardly any customer there at that time. This was my second time coming back and the food is mediocre! That was the reason why I haven’t been back. Then they want to charge 20% gratuity! Horrible
I ordered Sunday dinner from here to pick up on yesterday based on the catering we received at my job. The food at my job was really good , however the food I order on yesterday not so much. Also, overpriced based on what was received. I order catfish baskets that contained little nuggets of fish and not many for almost $20. The crab and seafood pasta on contained about 3 little crab pieces for almost $40 and definitely not as flavorful and food served from the catering. The greens definitely were different than the ones served at the event, they had a strange flavor for $10 per serving . The best thing was the cornbread and 1 of our containers of cornbread was missing in the bag, I’m glad I checked because that would have been another $10 wasted. They tried to pack all of our food in a tiny to go bag, I had to ask for a larger bag so the food would not bust through the bag.

The stuffed salmon is to die for!! Crab and shrimp dip is a must!! For drinks I ordered the gummy bear martini and pink goddess. I'm overly satisfied with everything. Only con was everything took forever but it was well worth the wait !!
