Paradise Grill and Cafe

This was our first dinner in Moscow when our family was checking out University of Idaho. The peeps working there made the environment so welcoming. It is SO nice to enter a "mom-and pop" and just get good, positive, friendly vibes all around. The portions are huge, the quality is fresh and flavorful and all at a reasonable price. All around GREAT!!!

"The Islander" is a pita pocket filled with pulled pork, ham, slice of pineapple, and dredged in a saracha mayionnais sauce. My side salad came with raspberry/blueberry vinaigrette which was very refreshing. It was all delicious and I would highly-rate this place for family dining or just hanging out!

Burger and fries were delicious. Nothing special about the shake. Service has improved and food is much faster come out. Good tap options and nothing over salted.

Overall I enjoyed this restaurant & it is perfect for a college town. I loved the vibe, I really dig the kitschy unique decor. The staff was excellent when I was there- helpful, friendly, and I got my food in a reasonable time frame (it was pretty empty at the time, so depending on crowds might affect this). As far as the food, the portions are HUGE (like, a ton of fries and we could have easily split the turkey sandwich we ordered!). The fried pickles with ranch were enjoyed by everyone. My kids also loved the turkey sandwich and the cheeseburger . I had a patty melt and onion rings. Loved the onion rings (crispy and perfect), but the patty melt was a bit greasy. Honestly, that was our main food gripe was just how greasy everything was, the paper sheets in the food baskets had to be peeled out to put in the trash because of how oily they were. I get that fried foods/burgers are greasy fare, but this was a bit much. They also have smoothies which my kid enjoyed as well as a bar area that I didn't have the opportunity to try. Another plus was that there is plenty of parking as well as vegetarian options.
