What a great little spot. I had the cheeseburger platter. It’s was 50% off but even at full price it was a great burger. Way better than five guys or other comparable. Also better than anything I have had a red robins or longhorn steakhouse....My wife had traditional moussaka. It came with Greek salad which she shared with me and it was amazing. The moussaka was also very good. We didn’t get a dessert as we were to full but we plan to go back and buy some before we hit the road. They had a baklava cheesecake which looked amazing.More

This place had a very warm family like atmosphere. It’s a little rundown from the outside as well as needing some indoor work. We came for breakfast. Coffee was weak and tasted to chlorine. Eggs were fine and potatoes were Greek style home fries. Typical...price for a breakfast. The coffee was disappointing. They need to get filtered water for their food. The water is heavily chlorinated.More

We were so glad we found Paradise Diner! The huge selection made it hard to decide what to have. The warm pita and tzatziki to start off was so good! The Greek salad was huge, very good dressing. I had moussaka, it was so huge...I took over half of it to go. The corn and lima beans were fresh and hot. My husband had the strip steak, mashed potatoes and corn. He said it was done perfectly. The dessert case was full of amazing things so we had to take 2 to go! The cannoli cream cake and banana cake with cream and caramel were both so delicious. I wish we had taken a picture of the dessert before we dove in!More

Me, my wife & Mother-in-law ate on a Sunday for dinner and the Greek salads were great and the iced tea was fresh. I ordered the 1/2 roasted chicken and when it was served I was informed they had run out of rice so I...ordered french fries, don't know why they couldn't have informed me earlier as it took forever for my fries to arrive. The chicken had been warmed over and tasted like it was 3 days old. It was tough & very dry, it was terrible. My wife ordered something Greek which looked like lasagna but it wasn't exactly. She ate half of it and said it was just OK. Mother-in-law got a hotdish that I don't remember but she was satisfied with her meal except for having to swat flies all the time away from her food. I'm being generous for giving 2 stars one each for the salad and iced tea!More

I ordered food online to be picked up at 12:15, received a message at 11 am that the food was ready. Contacted the diner and told them I could not serve my guests cold food. Was cussed at by the owner and told to never...return. Said it was my fault and that he is a rich man and does not need my business. The owner refused to take responsibility to their error. I'm sure this post will come up missing in no time. Their error will cost them multiple customers.More

Had takeout, it was amazing, big juicy pork chop with two sides and a salad for 10.99. Can't buy and make it yourself for that price.

Stopped in around 3pm. Parking lot was empty but we went in and were nicely surprised by the welcoming staff. Amelia was great. I got the chicken kebab meal. My wife got the pumpkin pancakes. They were both good. I would recommend that they serve...the kebab plate with some pita bread and yogurt. The chicken could have been spicer. They also need to do s better job of venting the smoke from the grille. We would go back again.More

Mussels were excellent. Stuffed flounder was most different, but delicious. Greek salad was the best that I have had in years. Excellent Greek dressing. Vegetables were tasty. Lots of dessert choices. They are gorgeous. Baklava cheese cake was delicious. Very large too.

In town for a family reunion and a family member suggested we go here. Without a reservation, 14 of us show up. Manel, without hesitation, accommodated us with the assistance of Lori. The food here is beyond DELISH and plentiful. The entire staff is nice....Make sure to leave room for dessert, the hardest part is picking one! If you are in the area, check them out, the food truly is Paradise!More

Took a friend here since I liked it so much in the past. I had read that there was a fly problem back in August, but I assumed they had taken care of that since it is unsanitary. However, there is still a fly problem....Fortunately, while we were eating in the front of the restaurant we did not see many. However, the restroom area was so full of flies that I drove to Target after my friend told me. Too bad they haven't taken care of that yet. The food was delicious, the variety of Greek, Italian, and American food was amazing, and the deserts looked scrumptious. I would have also appreciated it if they had told me there was an upcharge for the biscuit I asked for with my omelette. The fly problem made me not want to go back.More

I have been to this diner on many occasions and have always been happy with the food and service - the biscuits were to die for. However, that was not the case on my last visit with a friend. The quality and portions were decidedly...lacking and the biscuit was very disappointing - burnt and flat. The seafood omelette was ‘off’ and inedible. We bought this to our server’s attention and she offered us two desserts as compensation. The desserts were not up to their usual standard either but we didn’t say anything to the server. The check arrived and we were horrified to discover that not only were we charged for the desserts but that only &2 had been taken off for the omelette! When we challenged the Manager we were told that the owner was on vacation and that she (as the Manager!) did not have the authority to comp’ the desserts or reimburse for the omelette. The whole experience left a very unsavory taste in my mouth (literally) and I will not return or recommend others to dine there either. I would like to add that the owner of the restaurant is very friendly and professional.More
