  Haven't tried the food here, with the exception of the nachos they put out during Happy Hour.  That plus a couple of beers on a Friday afternoon are a great way to start the weekend.
  
  The beers are mostly domestic, but they do have some microbrews on tap, including Great Lakes.  Staff is generally nice, too.

  Great place to watch football.  Food is decent... I have had way better bar food.  We only ordered the buffalo chicken dip.  While the portion was huge, it did not have a traditional buffalo chicken taste.  Just about everything on the menu is fried so choose wisely (even the pita bread that came with our buffalo chicken app was fried).  Mostly domestic beers.  Be super careful going to the bathroom... The stairs are treacherous.  Limited parking.

  I can only second Loren's review, 7/9.  The only reason that I gave this restaurant any stars at all is that the food is good, and the prices are reasonable.  Also our waitress was very pleasant.  The service was good.
  All of the above was terribly offset by the atmosphere.  Let me add that prior to eating there this evening I had checked out their web site.  There is a HUGE DISCONNECT between what is portrayed on the web site and what we found when we got to the restaurant.  What we found when we entered the establishment is nothing like the web site images.  When we walked in I felt that the atmosphere was unappealing, and very loud.  Since this was the case as it was a pleasant summer evening we elected to dine on the patio.  Smoking is permitted on the patio and this was a huge turnoff.  A number of the patrons had had too much to drink and course vulgar language was inescapable.  
  Overall this experience was a let down.  We like to support local businesses and to dine at restaurants that are not part of a chain.  However, we will not be returning to the Paradise Restaurant.  It is anything but a paradise!

  Nothing like writing a lengthy review and having my computer lock up.  Therefore I will shorten it and be to the point.
  
  Food: OK based on wings and their other deep fried varieties but I don't think I've tried enough to shy you away from trying the food here.  'I personally want to try the Philly steak since they claim to use cheez whiz.'  I have tried it and will go back and get it again.  My only comments would be that I would have liked to see fresh mushrooms instead of canned and a little better bun but regardless, its packed full of meat and veggies, good stuff.
  
  Drinks:  Cheap happy hour bottles and drafts last time I went.  Bartenders seem to be a little younger but they do have a heavy hand.  Good variety of liquors.
  
  Ambiance: Boy, lots of potential.  Jukebox, lots of seating, people watching patio, overall very clean, just lacking one thing......people.
  
  The worst part of this newly renovated restaurant is that the bathrooms are in the basement so watch your head.
  
  Not sure what the night time crowd (if there is one) would be like but mind the neighborhood before going.
  
  I did go there off and on for 3 weeks, maybe every other day or so, just to see what the clientele would be like, but it never really changed.  This was last summer so we can only hope its changed.  Stopped in a couple weeks ago for a work retirement party and we all had fun.  Willing to go there again so drop me a message and I'll meet you there.
  
  Cheers.
