Paul's Restaurant — Restaurant in Cheshire

My husband and I went here for the first time. First thing we noticed was the dirty wrapping for straws left behind the salt and pepper. The server brought silverware and napkins to the table. As she placed them down on our napkins she placed her hands directly on the fork tines and the spoons and knives as well instead of placing them down by their handles. I had to wipe the knife off because there was still food on it from being washed. The bus boy went throughout the restaurant with a dirty cloth hanging out of his pocket that he wiped tables off and the sanitation bucket that was on the floor near the register had a cloth hanging out of the bucket touching the floor. And now we were a bit reluctant to try the food. The food arrived. My ham steak was burnt. My eggs were not scrambled, they were long strips which obviously were cooked on a flat top. There were charred bits in my hash browns. My husband's pancakes were full of charred bits all over them clearly indicating the flat top indicating that the debris was not scrapped from the flat top on a regular basis. No matter how busy it is the cook needs to take the time to do it. His eggs were ok. The price for the meal was good. The suggestion here is better sanitation practice and watch the quality of the food coming out of the pass...

Was initially excited when I saw some of the specials, but unfortunately we didn’t make it past the coffee. My husband received a mug with some sort of weird film all over the inside that could be wiped off with your finger. Sent it back and got a new cup. Opening my napkin to use the spoon to stir my coffee and the silverware was covered In water spots and streaks and so was his. Used the napkins to clean them up. Drinking just half of my cup of coffee revealed a distinct “milk-ish” brown ring all the way around the inside of the cup. The kind you would get if the cup had sit for quite some time half full of coffee with cream and then was just rinsed out. I could also wipe this ring away with my finger. It was absolutely disgusting. Unfortunately we were no longer excited about eating...

This review is based solely on an environmental/atmosphere observation- not food or service related.

I have eaten once or twice at Paul's restaurant many years ago and have remembered them to have good breakfast + friendly service. I attempted to eat there six or so months ago and I immediately left after walking into the building as the entry (between the kitchen entrance and bathroom) smelled like raw sewage. I assumed there was a potential issue going on temporarily and returned with a family member approximately 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, there was the same sewage smell and even more pronounced than before. Again, directly upon entry into the restaurant as you walk past the kitchen and bathroom. We had a visceral reaction and had to leave. Unfortunately, I will not...
