“I wanna go to the Pan Pan Diner; I wanna go right now!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 9, 2010

Been a fan of the Pan Pan since it was on Hillandale Rd. So glad they finally opened up again in Northgate Mall. The food it just incredible...real soul food. Turkey & dressing, chicken livers, oysters, EVERYTHING is so good. And the staff is always nice and attentive. And even the soul music they play is fantastic. The only problem is that I eat so much that I can't go as often as I'd like. :(

“Great Place To Eat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2009

A few months ago I discovered Pan Pan when I was on a business trip to Durham. I stopped by Pan Pan to have lunch. The food was so much more than I would have expected. It is soul food done like no other. Each plate is served to you. The staff were friendly and attentive. I live in Greensboro and have already made the trip back. I plan on going again. If you are in the Northgate area of Durham, you have to check out Pan Pan. I PROMISE you wont be disappointed.

“Oh My!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 8, 2009

This is the best place to get a home cook meal at an inexpensive price!!! The food is great and so much to choose from. If you have never eaten here you must go........you will not regret it!!! We drove all the way from Greensboro to eat here and it was well worth it!!!
You can't beat a all you can eat buffet:food served to you by individual plate.
(A good way to keep germs down from unclean hands)
Overall GREAT PLACE TO EAT!!! Take your whole family.

Found this place on a short business trip to the area. You can't go wrong with a soul food buffet on a Sunday afternoon. Great atmosphere with a small town feel - hence the "diner" title. Terrific service to go along with terrific food - hot, fresh and ready to eat. Don't foget to stuff the napkin down your shirt before you dig in.
