Pandora’s Steakhouse

Best night life on 30A. There is a cover charge but it was worth it. As for dinner there, it will not disappoint. Their steak was incredible and juicy.

Good: food was pretty good. We had steak and grouper. Skip the crab topping for steak. It was lemony which would be good on seafood but not steak. Grit cake with the fish was awesome. Tuna tower was delicious.
Bad: service was not good. Waiter didn’t know the menu or who ordered what. Prices for martinis weren’t listed and waiter said «they are about $ 8.» Also, menu accompaniments weren’t listed on the menu. Crab claws were tiny, over cooked and greasy. No need to specify doneness of steak because they all will come out the same.

Date 7−17−14 Never wrote a post and I needed to express my disapointment. Service was so slow I even had to go to the bar from my dinner table and ask for a different drink because it was made way to strong. My water glass sat empty at my table for 5 minutes. My big problem was the salad !! Iceberg lettuce in a high price steakhouse is just sad. My steak was ordered medium and was well done on one side and rare on the other. I thought we could pull out with a good bread pudding and advised our waiter that icecream would make it better and he said some people order it that way and it’s so good. A good waiter would suggest that. 80.00 dinner for 2 was really worth about 40.00 tops.

The food is good, but nothing really stands out. The service last weekend was horrible on the dining side. However, this is by far the best place for live music on 30A!!! I love the outside bar, and their bartenders are top notch!

We went here for their Prime Rib special that is offered each Wednesday night for $ 16.95. Meal includes French onion soup, salad, prime rib and baked potato. All were superb as was the service! In fact, I would go again and get the same meal even if it wasn’t on special. Nice casual atmosphere and no bright lights.

What a great evening and meal! We ate here tonight for the prime rib special and it was amazing! I have a dairy allergy and the waitress and staff were extremely helpful and eager to help and make sure I was able to enjoy a great meal. The chef even took time out to speak with me and make sure he understood all of my dietary needs. All of us ordered the prime rib and it came with hot fresh bread, French onion soup, salad, and prime rib. A great deal and delicious. Prime rib special every Wednesday and Sunday… we will definitely be back!

Tried to give this place a chance, did not seem happy to have us. Place was half full but we were told it was a 20 to 30 min wait. OK go to the bar no one came over so after about 10 min we took off. Maybe they only serve locals business must be good. Lost out on a $ 250 tab plus tip. Good Luck

Went to this restaurant as a spur of the moment decision & boy was that a bad decision! My whole family ordered the special prime rib dinner. This included French onion soup which was mainly broth. A Salad –in which all four of us had drastically different portions. I got the largest portion & it was just gross & honestly I don’t think I’m picky. I took maybe two bites. The prime rib tasted oddly very fishy which was a major concern of mine since I have a daughter with shellfish allergies. Then, to top our night off my daughter screams & points to my other daughters plate & sure enough there is a green WORM coming out of the baked potato. Never in my life have I been so grossed out!

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Awful service, grossest food, matter of fact there was a WORM! Yes a green worm in my potato… Left without paying for the overprice food.

Bone-​in ribeye is excellent. Great service.

Went to Pandora’s last night with family. Had heard from locals that it was a good casual dinner spot although all I knew was that it had good live music and drinks.
Anyway off we went. Started with some crab and cheese dip which was too thick and not much taste
For main course kids had steak and fries which seemed ok
We had both prime rib and BBQ ribs and both were a big disappointment
The baked potatoes were above avg and the key lime pie was ok as well
We will only be going for drinks and music in the future
Too many better options on 30a
Don’t want to be too rough on them nice waitress and pretty good service

Wait service was poor, salad wilted, lump crab fishy, and everything overpriced. My wife and I went for dinner two nights ago.
We split an order of fried stone crab claws with a dijon mustard-​based dipping sauce for an appetizer. The crab and sauce were OK, but it was impossible to eat a crab claw without getting a mouthful of shell – a decent idea poorly executed and certainly not worth $ 12.95.
The dinner salad was just sad – it was wilted and the portion very meager. I’m guessing it was from a store-​bought salad bag. The bread loaf was just a lukewarm sub roll like you would find in your grocery store bakery department. (It took about 10 minutes to get our salad and bread, which came out well after the salad and bread was delivered to the table behind us that was seated 5 minutes after we were.)
For my entrée, I ordered and enjoyed a daily special of blackened grouper topped with crawfish, lump crab, and a lemon-​butter sauce. The fish was terrific. The crawfish and lump crab was OK but there wasn’t much of it. It came with steak fries that were fine.
My wife ordered a petite filet topped with lump crab. She said the filet was good, but the bite she gave me was full of fat and gristle. The crab, however, was inedible – it was terribly fishy.
Each entrée was priced over $ 25 and surely not worth it. I would not recommend wasting your time with so many other better, nearby dining options.

Ambience: fine. Food: excellent. Service: outstanding. Try the fried strawberry dessert-​yum.
