Paradise Bar & Grill

Yummy food; Linda is always welcoming; great atmosphere!!

I only came to pay for my mostly adult children because someone had read about the Sunday brunch. I LOVE breakfast but I'm an intermittent faster and typically don't take in calories until dinner time, so I wasn't eating. I believe I ordered a water & a coffee, neither of which I was offered a refresh of at all. When we entered from the rear entrance, which is pretty well marked & very convenient with the downtown Galena limited parking, our party of 5 stood awkwardly near the register for several minutes while employees rushed past us without acknowledgement multiple times. I think one woman finally said she'd be with us in a minute but it was a man who seemed to be primarily focused on busing tables who at last directed us to a table, (which was actually 2 long tables pushed together with some patrons already seated there eating). The breakfast buffet by all reports of those who ate was mostly ok. My guess is it's probably great hangover food, which is appropriate for a Sunday brunch at a bar, but my daughter, who doesn't really like scrambled eggs and detests bacon opted for the French toast but said it was underdone & tasteless & the only maple syrup available was in packets & was merely artificially flavored high fructose corn syrup. My 10 yr old liked the potatoes & ate some bacon, but her 22 yr old sister cooked herself breakfast when we got back to our condo. Apparently waffles are also advertised, but the member of our party most interested in them felt a request for one would've been futile, based on the overall lack of service. And then there was the whole cash only payment policy, which I was not aware of beforehand. They have an ATM in the premises, but got the cash we had on hand, which was enough to cover the bill but probably not much in the way of tips. We're usually generous tippers, but the entire experience left me feeling not too bad about leaving a tip that seemed commensurate.

Took my family last minute out to the Sunday breakfast/brunch buffet, absolutely fabulous!! Great food selection, wide variety, fresh food, in addition to wonderful customer service! We will be returning often!

It's very average food to day the least. Nothing great about it but nothing bad at all either. I'd say it'd be good for a lunch break or something.
