Paradise Restaurant

Are you going to be impressed with the food? Absolutely not. Will you recall every family argument that happened at a diner after church as a kid with each bite? Absolutely yes. Sometimes you just want a classic breakfast and for someone else to cook the eggs. That's this place.

Cruising through Saftey Harbor looking for food, we decided this looked like a good spot to grab a late breakfast which is served until 2:pm. We were greeted by 2 people immediately and was told to sit anywhere we wanted. We proceeded to sit outside but that area was off limits for that day although our waitress said that she would've been more than happy to go out and serve us outside. :) We decided to follow the rules as the weekend was still young. We decided to start our meal with Bloody Mary's and for our meal, I ordered an Irish omelette with toast which I slathered up with butter and jelly plus home fries and my wife ordered a Meat Lovers skillet. Everything was perfect and our waitress Sonya was super sweet and attentive. The inside is very much like a diner. We will definitely be back!

This is a restaurant that has been there forever. The staff was very nice. The food was very bland under seasoned. I personally would not go back.

Breakfast was delicious! Service was just okay but we will be returning at some point to try again.

Had a great father's day lunch. We got there after the crowd, thank goodness , big portions hubby had stuffed peppers

We got here around 0800 or so. Only two other people and a group of 4 or 5 local hose monkeys in for breakfast. So I knew not what to expect given how quiet it was. We sat ourselves down, as the sign near the front entrance indicates. Waitress shows up right behind us with a couple of menus and asks for our beverage order. She then proceeds to hover over us waiting at the service station right across from our little booth. We both find it a bit annoying and as soon as QB puts the menu down in swoops Server Lady like a buzzard on a dead cat.Queen Bee has two eggs over medium with bacon and wheat toast. I opt for country fried steak and two scrambled eggs. Their home fries and rye toast on the side for me. Oh: did you know they make their own corned beef hash?? Had to try that! Both our respective egg orders were quite well prepared as was her bacon. Steak patty was so laden under cream gravy that I wondered if the Edmund Fitzgerald hid beneath that ponderous puddle! Home fries were nothing to write home about. I like them crisp with onion. These didn't quite live up to the crisp part of the bargain. Since we were practically alone at the moment, I don't see why the kitchen screwed this pooch. Same can be said for the toast...I'd seen a couple of other Yelpers mention stale toast; I concur. Very dry and old tasting bread. Change how you store the bread, Ben...Yuck! Corned beef hash was actually tasty and not from a can of Sysco Slop. Actual slices of corned beef (as for a sandwich), diced alongside home fries with onion and green pepper chunks all mixed together and grilled on flattop. I say this because the plate of it was huge! I didn't think a $6 side of the stuff would be any huge thing. Guess what? I got lunch for both of us sitting in the fridge now!Server Lady checked on us once and then brought a box with the bill. I showed her the Yelp 10% discount screen on my phone. "Uh: how do I do that?" So she runs off and then comes back saying that "the boss doesn't know how to do it either." She knocked off the 10% somehow, which was nice. Some staff training would have elevated this outing to 4 stars perhaps. All I'd say is that if they expect to be better on their breakfast game, there are a few basics they totally need to fix. I've already outlined them in my observations above. We normally go to Acropol Inn for breakfast but they don't open until 0900. Sigh...I am willing to try other stuff here; I'm just not in a hurry to do so. Paradise Lost, to channel the words of Milton.

Classic small town diner. It's nothing fancy which is what makes it special. Great menu, tons of options. Great breakfast!

Great diner type restaurant. Good Greek food. Great mimosas! Service is fast and friendly. This is a good all round place to eat. Not over the top , not underwhelming. If your from the northeast this very much a diner you'd find in NJ

This place is a classic little diner. It doesn't look like much when you walk in . My son in law said it was the best omelette of his life ! The prices are great, great food and quick service !! A definite stop in while we are in Safety Harbor FL

If I could give this zero stars, I would! We just had an awful breakfast here. We are visiting my mom, and she suggested we try it for breakfast as she has never been. Do not get the 'homemade' corned beef hash, as it's just deli corned beef with sliced potatoes that are hardly browned or cooked. The service was also awful, with hardly any check ins and the two waitresses sticking at the counter gossiping about their fellow employees. I would never come back!!!
