Paddy's Restaurant & Hotel

I'm a huge fan of daytime dancing. Not too many places in driving distance where you can tan on the beach, take a few steps to have lunch, and get out of your seat to dance your booty off. Everyone for the most part is here to have a good time. Drinks are reasonbly priced considering they could charge way more for the constant crowd they get. Dj is always good on the weekends.

lovely view.

but I have to ask, why when I walk in to find 5 hosts behind the host stand, and ask for a table on the sand, did they all look at me like i had a you know what drawn on my face? as soon as I could I went to the bathroom to check the mirror, nope, nothing there. so what was with the glares people??

once my friend and I were seated (under the tent, not where we asked for) we waited several minutes for a server, being that no one had come over and having enough time to observe open tables, my friend braved the lazy and judgey host stand to ask for one of them, to which they replied..."well they're dirty" there are five of you standing there. clean it. what else are you doing??

the waiter was nice enough but i found it really bothersome when i ordered my burger with a side salad he did not ask any questions just said ok. uhhhh temp? salad dressing? hello? he informed me hes been instructed not to ask people how they'd like their food cooked. so to the cooks, really guys?! i know how to cook to temp using my thumb muscle, are you that bleeping lazy? well, obviously.

all in all, its a nice enough place to get wasted on the beach, but don't expect a good dining experience, shits not gonna happen.

Excellent spot FOR WHAT IT IS.

Too much negativity here - Paddy's is not supposed to be and is not trying to be an upscale waterfront dining experience.  It's an awesome location right on the beach offering food and drink to those who want to enjoy it.  No one is forcing you to eat here.  Again - this is not supposed to be fine dining!

Nothing is over priced - it's average pricing - maybe even below considering the location.  I sat at the bar today and was taken care of by two bartenders who really did want to make sure I was taken care of.  Just because you go on a Friday night at Sunset and you don't receive the best service doesn't mean it's a terrible place.

I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries - they were fine.  I wouldn't tell people to go out of their way to try the sandwich but I had zero complaints.  Everyone was friendly - even the guy checking IDs who has one of the most difficult jobs to perform while still being friendly.

Beer selection is good, drink selection is cheesy - but I get it.  Can't wait to return when all the renovations are done.  I'm sure the owners were devastated when they lost their business last year.  You have my support guys!
