Good food (had hash and eggs) coffee cup always full, service good and prices not bad ($23 for two plus tip). Weird parking (rear) plus getting out takes little work (have to traverse a car wash and gas station-)recommend for breakfast. read more

Paul's used to be a very good place to have breakfast. Unfortunately no more. Our waitress (whom I believe is also the manager) was awful. She didn't pay attention to us at all. I had to flag her down four times (once for missing silverware, once for coffee, a third time for our food, and lastly for our check). It took a half hour to get two breakfast orders and the only time we saw our waitress was when I physically had to flag her down. Food was mediocre at best. It's really too bad, we used to like coming to Paul's. We won't be going back. read more

I had the hash omelette with home fries and toast and the wife had apple fritter French toast. It was all Delicious !!! Great cozy classic place. Two thumbs up!!! read more

Went to this restaurant 3 times for breakfast because of rave reviews. I guess they say the third time is a charm there definitely was no charm at this place. I gave it three opportunities to be cleaner inside and ordered different things each time. Unfortunately the group I was with got sick from this place. The food is okay but this restaurant is also visibly dirty very very dirty... will not be going back after becoming sick from this place! read more

Even though this is a Cheshire staple, it's hard for me to love it, even though I want to. Service is insanely slow and food is good but nothing special. The biggest problem is the service. It takes such a long time to get served pretty simple breakfast food. This is the place to go for a leisurely meal to catch up with friends, but not when you are looking for a special breakfast out. read more

Left after waiting over 40 minutes for two omelettes and a kid pancake and went elsewhere for breakfast. Got tired of waiting and watching the live entertainment consisting of four servers arguing audibly with the kitchen staff through the service window over timing on orders and sent back food as well as stacks of cooked food piling up in said window. Never again. read more

Food was more like two stars - service bumped my rating to three stars. A last minute visit for lunch after more than 20 years. The inside is frozen in time - clean but no improvements to the decor in many many years. We had hash omelets that were big, but stuffed with canned hash and served with cold bread ( suppose to be toast) and greasy home fries. Not on my list of return spots. Lots of other options in the area. read more

This restaurant is pretty good. Not the best food I've had but it's not that bad. The staff is nice. One downside is the place is very old fashioned and not that clean compared to other restaurants. Although, it is not that bad so if you want some decent food this would be the place to go. But if your looking for amazing food I would not recommend it. read more

Excellent experience. Very fast and friendly service and great food. I had the 2 egg breakfast with veggie hash and it was excellent. The specials sounded very good as well. We will definitely come back! read more

I posted a while back about this restaurant. I had gone back a few times, had good service and food. Today was definitely the last time I'll step foot in the place. Service was non existent; took 5 mind to get coffee and the server never came back. Paid for my coffee and walked out. It was never like this when Paul owned it! read more

Great food, the cooks get the order right every time! Service is good and the parking is plenty! Would definitely recommend!

This was described to me as the best breakfast place in "The Shire." I would have to agree. The home fries were delicious and you couldn't find a more perfect pancake. I definitely would recommend this to anyone that was looking for a good hangover cure or just wanted a great breakfast place. They have good prices, the staff is friendly and there is always a line out the door. I will definitely be eating here again. read more

Went here on Sunday am. Me and husband ordered two eggs and one piece of toast, he asked if home fries came and that's a separate order. We weren't that hungry and just wanted the basic's. We also ordered two coffees and one small glass of juice costs 2.75 also coffee is 2.35. We left with a hefty bill for the little we had. Our waitress was very attentive and that's why I give one stare. I know it's Cheshire and prices are high but let's not take advantage. read more

Never going back... The food was ok but the service was a catastrophe. My meal came but I had to wait 10 minutes before the waitress came back. When she asked how the meal was I truthfully said I don't know. You never gave me any utensils. And that's when the her tip went down the toilet much like the food after 2 hours. Customers are the life of a restaurant, treat them like crap and you'll be packing up in no tome read more

For whatever reason they don't do lunch on Sundays....when I asked why they just said they don't. Personally if there's one thing I hate that restaurants do it's when they limit there menus to certain days. Was really in the mood for lunch and couldn't get it. read more

i know, just because a restaurant says it is open until a certain time doesnt mean that if you get there within opening and closing time that they will actually serve you. is there a time frame that is it reasonable to expect to be served? we were there 30 min prior to their posted closing time and they turned us away, so if you are headed over there maybe try to get there an hour before posted closing time if you want to actually get food. really wanted to try their famous veggie burgers but now that probably wont happen. good luck. read more

Another restaurant going through the motions. Food lacks passion and taste. Frozen food is like that.

its local, safe, consistent and just ok - average .

Ordered takeout for breakfast. What a disaster! You'd think for such a well established place they'd have their act together. My order was messed up. The woman checking me out at the counter was swearing under her breath and was not apologetic. Not a good experience!!!!!! There are better places to go for breakfast in cheshire. Not worth the aggravation and bad attitudes from the staff. read more

The breakfast here was decent. It's a local greasy spoon. No complaints on service. Coffee was good and hot.

My go to breakfast spot! Large portions, friendly staff, delicious food, and quaint setting. I usually get their pancakes, yum!

Where the who's chew in Cheshire, CT! Great breakfast, a lot of variety and friendly service. I love their home fries!

Have been going here when in town since it opened. Last time I was there, I took note that there weren't lines out the door as consistently in the past. Walked in, and the restaurant half empty. Soon learned Paul's had been sold but retained the name. Food prepared differently but still good. Fast forward my next visit. Ample seating on a SAT am. Food prepared differently and toast burnt and actually served that way. Really??? Need to find a new breakfast go to. Won't go there again. Paul, we miss you! read more

The service wasn't awful. The pancakes were bad though, the eggs and bacon were okay so was the sausage. But I wouldn't go there again.

I had an ok omelet, the toast was good but the potatoes were deep fried like Friendly's (not a big fan). The staff made me feel unwanted and just hurry up, eat and leave. The price was a bit high for the average food quality. Most likely not to return. read more

The most mediocre restaurant in the area. Everything there is pretty much okay. You leave and you don't feel you've been cheated or taken, or for that matter, had anything special. I can speak only for breakfast which is somewhat overpriced and somewhat dull. Other places have signature menu items. Paul's, not so much. Having said all that, if they would just try a little harder with something as simple as home fries instead of ladling out a scoop of wannabe tater tots, I could overlook the rest of their failings. Then again, failings is too strong a word. They don't fail at Paul's; they just don't achieve. read more

Went there for breakfast - the spinach was frozen, the mushrooms were from a can and the "fresh" fruit was out of a jar. And the 2 meals came to $27. We will not waste our money there again. read more

It is not often I review but his was an awful experience. Who should have to wait 30minutes after being seated to even get coffee or to have your orders taken and over an hour to get what amounted to eggs and hash (which wasn't all hash but some unknown contents likely left over on the grill). And over medium eggs were anything g but. The waitresses blamed the kitchen but they weren't helping the situation. And not even an "I'm sorry" from the owner. I've learned my lesson to not eat there again. read more

Paul's Restaurant is a local Cheshire diner with a laid back country home atmosphere. Paul's has an open seating system meaning once you enter from the rear of the building it is the guest's responsibility to find an open table in which to sit; finding an open table can prove difficult on busy days when the place is packed as guests are unable to see all seating areas due to the backroom's entry way. Coffee is easily accessible for guests (both regular and decaf); however, I do not drink coffee and was saddened when the waitress stated they do not carry Dr. Pepper. The Eggs Florentine was cooked properly but lacked any seasoning or distinctive flavor which is not bad but nothing spectacular either. The fruit side was fresh and an excellent addition to the meal. Paul's Restaurant is a great place for families and locals to enjoy their hometown business but it is not somewhere you would visit for a special occasion. read more

I am embarrassed to admit that it took me over one month to write this review. On April 1st my son and I stopped in for breakfast. He is four years old and had a tough time when I dropped him off at pre-school that day. I decided to take him to work with me, because I didn't want him to have a hard day. We stopped in for breakfast because I was starving. As soon as we walked in, EVERY associate was kind, attentive, and gracious. We both enjoyed our breakfasts. Everything was great. But the real purpose of this review is to thank Debbie. She was our server, and made my little boy feel so special, and she has no idea how she impacted us that day. She turned a day of frustration for a child into a day of smiles. She is the the living description of hospitality. I hope people try this wonderful place. Trust me it's an experience you will love. Thank you! read more

Paul's is a great family, hometown type of restaurant. The food is fresh and the atmosphere is very family oriented. If you're looking for a quiet meal - I'd sit at the counter. It does ride on its old reputation a bit, but you'll never be disappointed with your meal. read more

Paul's has been a Cheshire staple for many years, and it's well loved by locals. It has a very laid back diner type of vibe, and the food is always good (I recommend the apple fritter French toast). The servers are friendly and helpful, and although the service isn't the fastest it also isn't too slow. I love Paul's and will continue to come here whenever I want a classic diner breakfast. read more

My son and I decided to go to have a bite to eat yesterday. We walked in, and the lady said we have no tables available when we could clearly see tables in the back, and 2 seats at the counter. I asked if we could sit at the counter and she said fine. On the table were 2 paper placemats and an empty cup of coffee that would need to be taken away and replaced by some serving utensils and new paper placemat, you know the one with the advertising. 3 waitresses walked back and forth continuously as if we were invisible and angry at us for sitting down. After 5 minutes sitting there like 2 unwanted guests we decided to leave! The staff was so rude and disrespectful!!! I would not recommend coming here. Apparently I was told later in the day there is a "new owner". Maybe the staff does not like the new owner, maybe the new owner was not there, or maybe the new owner was there and this is how it is. As we sat there I looked at others around me and they all seemed to have the same disgusted look on there face with the service and atmosphere. There was no one smiling, it seems as though This place has changed, A Lot! We decided to go to Peters, they were very glad to have us! read more

Went there for lunch and ordered a tuscan salad. I asked if they would substitute goat cheese for the bleu cheese. They said no problem. They gave me my choice of dressings and I went with the peppercorn. When the bill came there was an up charge of $2.00 for the goat cheese and .50 for the peppercorn dressing. I told them I didn't agree with it, but they could care less. And the salad was average at best. I won't be back. read more

Only serves breakfast and lunch. The breakfasts are great but price wise a bit expensive.

They do a decent diner fare, and the place seems to be packed with regulars when they are open, which is only breakfast and lunch hours. I would go back again. read more
