Paradise Grill and Cafe — Restaurant in Moscow

This is a homy, casual place with a tiki/shabby-chic vibe. (Personally, I love the fake parrot.)The folks are nice, the prices are reasonable. Been there twice. They make what may be the best hamburger in town. Their BLT is the bomb - generous size, and stuffed with really amazing, thick bacon. Orders are taken faiirly quickly. The problem is that it takes way too long for them to make and serve your food, even when it's not very busy. Tonight we waited about 45 minutes, and I eventually had to ask for a to-go box. Kitchen staff apparently hasn't ever schooled in basic short-order strategy. They need to be thinking about prepping the later orders as they're hung, at the same time as the newer ones are coming in - figure out how many buns/bread are needed for * the whole batch * of orders. Dress the buns and add mayo, relishes... and start all the meat cooking AHEAD of time. The food is very good, but a little study of sandwich building and other short-order logistics is needed - of the kind you'd pick up working for MacDonald's or a roadside waffle house (but with way better food). The only other thing I'll mention is that we were the only people in the place wesring masks. My husband is a cancer survivor, covid rates have been through the roof this winter... Without getting into the weeds here, let's just say they are not practicing basic food safety...

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...

From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was something special. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, with attention to detail in every corner. The staff went above and beyond—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, clearly made with high-quality ingredients and real passion. Each bite felt like it was carefully thought out and executed to perfection. Even the small touches—freshly baked bread, creative cocktails, and a well-curated dessert menu—made the experience unforgettable.

This isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. I left not only satisfied but already excited to come back. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended! I’ve never had anyone serve me the way Trevin has served me my experience will forever be remembered he is also...
