The service was good and fast. Generally students are the people working in the facility. The prices are on the steep side especially being on a college campus. Highly recommend stopping here!

Pandora is more of a takeout place, although there are a few tables inside where you can wait for your order. Services is very friendly and efficient, though everything is made fresh so expect to wait a few minutes, especially if it is crowded.

They never asked what side we wanted, they just assumed, and fries came with our meals. The fries were cold, which was surprising since our food was ready within five minutes. I had also asked for no pickles on my burger, and it still came with pickles on it. After our meal, I went back to the counter to order dessert and asked how much a single item cost compared to the whole box. The person looked confused, went to the back to ask a coworker, and I could hear the whole conversation. The coworker asked who would want to know something like that, and the person answered that it was this girl up front. That felt very unprofessional, especially since I could hear all of it. Once I paid, they handed me my dessert, but pulled their hand back before I had fully taken hold of it, looked at me, and walked away without a word. The one positive was that the food came out fast.
