    Onion rings are delicious.
    Kimberlee C.

    So a couple of weeks ago we ordered our food with full anticipation and on the brink of hangar. We expected it to arrive within 40 minutes via GrubHub. An hour went by...my belly started to scream. I opened the app to check order status and it asked how my delivery went. Uh... WHAT DELIVERY?! Advance through the calls/moans/groans. I went out to get food, was about to eat a different meal and I got a call from Paradise Cafe. They apologized profusely and explained that my order never actually made it to their restaurant through their GrubHub delivery system computer. Paradise offered to give me a free meal to try them out again and promised it would be better. Its weeks later and we never took them up on the offer but I remembered that this place had some unique food and I was tired of fast food. Today I ordered the Onion Rings, Meatball Sub with Mozarella, Philly Cheesesteak, Gyro with fries, and ceasar salad. Everything was excellent, delivered within 25minutes (fast!) and hot and fresh. I absolutely love the full flavor of the meatball sub but found the Gyro lacking. I lived in Europe so I am used to the fresh shaved Gyro meat and this looked like pre-cut cooked slices. It still had a decent flavor but needed more umph with the red pepper and a different tzatiki sauce. The Caesar salad croutons were the best but they used iceberg lettuce instead of romaine which threw off the flavor. I enjoyed the spices they put on the huge croutons. Yum! The onion rings were normal, decent, possible slightly over-fried but I would order again. Definitely check out the meatball sub. That sauce and cheese...holy moly! My husband said he also enjoyed the Philly Cheesesteak. It was very filling. And the grubhub guy told me at delivery that he really liked their little restaurant. He said he never been so he said he'd check it out himself too!

    We had a lovely meal at the Paradise Cafe. Ollie was amazing. Her made sure we were ok and got what we needed. The food was fresh and cooked based on when we ordered. The food was great. We will definitely go back.

Ima bring some friends so that I'm not the only who's enjoying the tasty food from PARADISE CAFE

    My sister and her boyfriend invited me to breakfast at Deusenbergs but that place was PACKED! 1 hour wait! I then checked to see if there was another place near the area that served breakfast. This place was it. We came in and it's a small family? diner. Really small but cozy! We sat down and the menu was small, yay! Small, simple and had everything you wanted for a good breakfast. I got 1 order of 2 eggs and sausage and another order of just 2 eggs. 4 eggs sunny side up, 2 pieces of sausage, and 2 slices of bread. Pop the eggs onto the bread, having it soak the juices up, then putting a sausage on it and taking a bite?.... This is why I love breakfast. Home cooked meals that makes you happy! The service was fast, food was good, and the owner was very friendly! They don't accept tips from credit/debit cards but luckily there are ATM's nearby at the 7 Eleven and liquor store.

    They only take cash ATM is across the street inside 7-11 This is what my belated dear grandfather would have called a dirty spoon in a good way. I can picture him in a booth every morning for coffee and newspaper. Knowing everyone's name that walked in. The food is cooked to order and you get the feeling of being at her (chef) dining room table. The portions are huge.

It's 3-4 slices of cornbread, cooked like French toast and 3 nice sized chicken cutlets. I also had a side of smash browns. The fuss was good and it was a decent sized portion so half of it went home with me lol. To drink, I had a black coffee. It was a basic black coffee.. As a person that loves coffee.. I want impressed. But it's a diner so it was ok. The downside to my meal was the coffee. It was too basic. They only have dairy creamer. And my mug had a crack in it .

Rather than being greeted or seated, I was handed a menu across the counter and instructed to return to the same counter when I was ready to place my order. Hoping to start simply, I requested a coffee. I was given a mug and told the coffee station was self-service. Regrettably, that mug should have been inspected more carefully before use. After preparing my own coffee and taking the first sip, I noticed an unpleasant waxy sensation on my lips. A quick glance at the rim revealed the unmistakable mark of lipstick from a previous guest. It was both unhygienic and deeply off-putting. The food itself did little to redeem the experience. The omelette arrived topped with onions that were cold and soggy, and the interior was filled with undercooked egg that had an unappetizing, gelatinous texture. The French toast, meanwhile, was notably dry and lacked the richness and balance one would expect from a well-executed brunch staple. I make a point of supporting local, independent establishments whenever possible, often choosing them over chain restaurants. Unfortunately, this visit fell far short of expectations and left me wishing I had made a different choice.
