Our party of ten went to Pandora's for the Wednesday night $15 Prime Rib special. The prime rib was honestly perfect. Everyone in our party of ten ordered some variation of it and everyone left very full and very happy. Excellent service from our waiter Shaun as well. You will not find a better meal for $15 anywhere. I wish they would figure out their theme though, very "eclectic" would be a nice way of putting it.
On a slightly unrelated note, the outdoor bar scene is great as well. Bands seem to be hit or miss but the atmosphere is always laid back and fun. Drink prices are very reasonable for the area. $3.50 for a Corona.
I can't really say much for the restaurant itself at this time; it's been years since I've eaten there since it's relatively far away from my home.
As a nighttime hot spot, though, Pandora's is one of the only options in the Santa Rosa Beach area, and they do a good job. Â Live music, background music, an outdoor (and covered) bar that's open late and a good crew make this just about the only place to hang out after 10 PM in the area. Â They also have a great night bar menu for grub. Â Prices are very fair and the bartenders are good at what they do. Â Enjoy!
We visited here on night one of our family vaca for dinner. Terrible!!!!! Two other families came in and left before ordering. The food is extremely overpriced. Every meal we ordered was terrible....steak, pork loin, shrimp...every dish we tried was bad. I got jumbo fried shrimp....which arrived as 6 small popcorn shrimp that looked like a kids portion. Half our group left early because they had to find another place for dinner. Don't make the same mistake we did. There are many more great places to eat. Skip this one.
Review Source:Didn't eat here but had great drink service on two different occasions during the  30A Songwriters Festival.  Great venue for live music both in the Tiki Hut and the main stage!
This is one of several great venues during this incredible weekend. Â Thanks, Pandora's for participating.
Pandora's is awful across the board!!
We had a table of 10 this week, and it is literally the worst restaurant I've been to in years anywhere in the country. Â The food was overpriced for what was on each plate. Â It was poorly prepared, and the service was attrocious. Â The waiter was arguementive, and incapable of opening a bottle of wine. Â We asked for assistance from the manager, but he was minimal help outside of finding a wine opener. Â We went into the bar after dinner hoping the service would improve, it didn't. Â I've never reviewed a restaurant before on any site, but this was so bad I felt like I had to save others from this attrocious experience, and not let them waste their money.
I am fortunate to spend quite a bit of time in the Gulf Coast's 30A area, because of rental units we have, but will never return to Pandora's. Â There are so many other good options within a few miles of Pandora's and every single one has been better regardless of price or atmosphere. Â Pandora's had no redeeming qualities from decor, to food, to service in the bar and restaurant. Â You'd be better off going to the Beach Store across the parking lot and heating something up in their microwave.
Pandora's at Grayton Beach is part of a small steakhouse chain. This location is tucked away near the waterfront along Grayton Beach State Park. It's fairly small with slightly odd interior design: part tiki-themed and part Italian/Tuscan decorations.
As you might expect from a steakhouse, beef is their specialty. However, this was the big letdown in the meal: two of the three of us ordered steaks and both of them were unhappy with the meal. The steaks appeared to be reasonable, but were cooked differently than specified. One was even sent back, but was returned a second time without a significant change. This seemed to ruin the meal for my dining partners and they didn't end up eating much of the steak. This is a grievous sin for a steakhouse.
Ironically, I rather enjoyed my meal. I ordered the giant shrimp with steak fries and a side salad. As an appetizer, I had the french onion soup. The soup was perfectly seasoned with two large slabs of cheese on top that melted perfectly. The breaded shrimp was tender and a filling meal.
Although I would typically give more stars for my experience, my dining partners were so discomfited with the meal that I'm going to go with two stars (since Pandora's was batting .333 for the night). I suppose if you're headed here, try the giant shrimp.
