The food was so delicious, and the owners are incredibly nice. I had the steak and cheese, and my husband had the Falafel burger. He is Egyptian, and said that this was the most authentic falafel he has had in this area, that it was just like at home. A lot of us from this area just drive by this restaurant every day without a thought, but I definitely recommend that everyone stop by and try them out. You will not be disappointed! Their desserts are amazing as well!!
10/24/2021 0900I came in to eat breakfast on this date at this time and was impressed. I walked in and was immediately greeted by staff. We had a clean table and ordered our food. Our food was READY and at our table FRESH in 3-5 minutes. Not only was it ready it was DELICIOUS. I recommend coming here for breakfast!
Fantastic diner. Good fresh made food to order. Great service. This is the real deal. Oh the DESERTS we recomend paradise diner
An excellent selection of Greek entrees. Opted for the pastichio. Very good. My son just moved near here so I will be back.
Had breakfast here recently and wanted to recommend that you do so as well. Great service of great food! Nice portions will send you home with yummy leftovers. Try their omelets with their tasty home fries or just have the best gyro youve ever had for breakfast!
Menu had a variety of selections. Our choice was Italian and it was delicious. The waitress was so nice and personable; even got a smile from the chef. The Paradise Diner is like a book you have to open to judge correctly its value. We suggest you stop in.
Classic good diner food, hot coffee and a display case of amazing desserts. The cheeseburger platter is a good size and will fill most people up. Friendly staff and free refills of coffee and soda.
First time visiting here; went because I was attending a meeting there which turned out to be a larger group than expected. In spite of being so busy, the staff were friendly & as patient w/our group as we were w/them! Corned beef hash was yummy! My eggs were just a tad to over easy. Definitely will return when its not quite as crowded! Dee, our waitress, was very nice!
I have always wanted to eat at the Paradise Diner and was happy I stopped today. I love corn beef hash from when my dad would cook it for me many years ago. I ordered the hash with with eggs over medium, home fries, and sourdough toast. I asked for the hash to be crispy like my dad cooked it. The meal was awesome. A good cup of coffee too. Ill be back.
It’s a very good experience, food is very delicious and fresh. 💯
Paradise Diner survived 2020! Please stop by. Its clean, friendly and the menu has a wide selection plus breakfast is served until 3 pm. Dont miss the desserts!
They were super busy this morning, but just seeing the speed and drive of the kitchen and wait staff was amazing, they tried their absolute best to keep up with the flow of patrons. Breakfast was good, I had runny eggs that I mixed into the corn beef hash also got a gyro sandwich to go which looks and smells amazing.
A wonderful mom and pop local place easily accessible from the main road and 5 minutes off i95.Food is all freshly made and the cook often smiles from the window to the kitchen. Im confident the recipes are his and in one bite you realize this is not your mass produced, food chain frozen and reheated, portion controlled meal.The side salad was large and the house dressing was perfect pairing. The meal is served without fanfare but the flavors spoke for themselves.Price was great and the portions were ample for an adult.Also the desserts in the cooler were worth a treat to go. Whoever prepared the mousse and cake deserves credit.Lastly, the bar is stocked for most popular items but this is not intended as a drinking establishment but more so a calm family friendly environment.
Customer service was good, however 2 plates were luke warm and 1 was returned for a remake. Plus for some odd reason when I received my Porkchop meal, I only received the Porkchop and halfway thru eating that, I finally got my sweet potato and greens. I would prefer to have it all together.There were flies everywhere and thats because of the front door being opened, however who wants to fight flies for their food.
Awesome food, great service and we loved the atmosphere of the diner. We will definitely be back again and again. Oh and the Gyro was phenomenal! And my daughter loved the fulaffle burger! 😁 5 stars all day for this place!!!
This is a gem of a diner with a really broad selection of dishes. When you first walk in a HUGE selection of desserts greets you at a refrigerated display. I gained a pound just looking through the glass at the carbohydrate laden delights therein. The menu was very diverse and I think you would be hard pressed to not find something intriguing. The staff were courteous and attentive and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. It is just a few minutes off of I-95 and worth the detour. The prices were acceptable given the portion sizes and diversity of the menu.
Best French toast I’ve ever had. The staff is always so polite and the service is exceptional. They also always take great care of the service members. Absolute must if you’re in Fredericksburg for breakfast.
One of my favorite spots, great food/good prices. The owner is awesome and really tries to make sure you have a great experience.
The most amazing gyro platter Ive ever had. Great service and sweet tea👍
Good place for breakfast and dinner.I had the pancakes and eggs which were delicious, but wasnt impressed was the use of inexpensive bacon.
Went for brunch with family. Great food. Desserts are AMAZING! This place is a must eat in when in Fredericksburg!
Exceptionally clean, super nice and friendly wait staff, fresh crisp salad. Just delicious. Wish we could bring this diner to our town!!!
Instead of gyro thinly slice it was in thick strips and not well seasoned, on the other hand, pita was very fresh
We stumbled upon this eclectic diner one Saturday morning when we were looking for brunch and didnt want to wait over an hour at a nearby place. We were so luck to find it! A little Greek, a little breakfast diner, a little bit of everything. But everything was delicious!We couldnt help but get the stuffed grape leaves since they were on the menu. They came out with some pita bread and a delicious sauce, and were very good themselves. Our brunch items were next, including crab cake Benedict and a hash and eggs platter. Both were delicious and huge portions.Service was friendly, and they started filling up as lunch time approached. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.
Eight diners and we all felt our meals were just okay. Most needed more seasoning. The desserts.... Fabulous!! Would go back just for the cakes.
Very good food, cozy local diner. Quick and attentive service. Never had a bad meal here
I have been driving by Paradise Diner for years and finally stopped in last weekend and Im glad I did. This is a casual restaurant with a diner feel that serves a traditional breakfast menu as well and Greek food. We were there for breakfast. The highlight of my meal was the French toast. Our server was great. We didnt try the dessert but the desserts in the case as we walked out looked delicious. I need to go back at dinner time to try the Greek food and desserts.
The only reason I give this place 1 star is I cant give zero. The food has gone down hill over the years. The server had dirt under her fingernails, the spanakopita was soaking in oil and the chicken in my salad was way to hard.
Fantastic meal! The lamb was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender. Recommend the saganaki for the starter. OPA!!
👥 Great Service, very prompt & Friendly workers, loved the warm & neighborly type atmosphere.🍽 The food was served promptly, hot & delicious 😋.Calamari appetizer was delicious.Had the NY steak and it was done perfectly (flavorful and juicy).My child had the grilled cheese with bacon & she loved how they didnt skimp on the bacon.Oreo pie was delicious, definitely not for just one person.🇺🇸 10% Military Discount 👏.🚻 Bathroom could use work, soap wasnt available & trash on the floor 😟.
Few years ago used to be a delicious food, especially the crab cake. We stop on 10 july this year and was a sock! The crab cake was like stone and very fried, I think with a lot of flower inside. I cook home or I eat crab cake when we stop in Virginia beach.
I really have loved paradise diner since they came back.I hate to say it but they have really gone downhill.I was here a year ago and it was phenomenal, returned this week so excited to get some delicious breakfast grub and I was very disappointed.It was dirty.... They kept the patio door open whole time we ate so it reaked of smoke and everything looked like it was covered in a film.I LOVED this place as a kid and when they reopened it was AMAZING. This trip was very underwhelming and I hope it was maybe just an off day.I want them to do well and still be that great place, I hope it has an upswing soon!I WILL SAY; The staff is just as wonderful as ever though. This was not a staff or service issue.THEY ARE GREAT!! They were speedy, helpful, kind and on top of our needs.Just not the atmosphere Ive come to know and love.
Great local restaurant. Good service and food.
We just happened on this place heading home from DC. Loved the hummus, spanikopita, stuffed bell peppers, orzo soup. Almost got a hotel room just to come back for more.
Its a clean place with a nice selection on the menu. Our waitress was a hoot and the food was good.
Fresh authentic greek cuisine! Love it! ♥️
This used to be my favorite gyro ever, but it would seem the quality or execution has fallen short this time. The gyro meat was over cooked and the pita was crunchy but overall it was a decent meal. Ill be going back to give them another try in hopes this was a one time thing because typically their food is on point.Bad
Excellent Menu Choices. Breakfast was Awesome. Service with a Smile and fast (Jennifer). Owner appreciates your business. I will be a regular customer.
Great chowder. Yummy deserts. Friendly and efficient wait staff.
Great place for breakfast, the omelets are huge. I am sure many love their huge flavorful omelets but I found the egg part of the omelet is so thin, you dont really get the egg flavor... I would recommend over easy eggs or scrambled if youre an egg fan like me. it is a fun place to go, service is fabulous and the menu is huge. lots of regulars there, we go when we are in the area. have enjoyed dinners their too. just a real nice, clean friendly neighborhood place. and those desserts in the glass case are a must. they are huge and delicious!
My first time back in the area in three years. My go-to spot. Steak and eggs (Jimmy’s platter) and French toast are unreal.
Great food with even greater people! Always have an amazing meal every time I come and the people there make the experience even better with how personable they are! They’re cheesecake is also mouth watering! Great to bring your family and groups of friends! I have just recently started going and will be making future returns to the diner.
Had brunch here yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. I had the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was so well flavored and they gave me a good amount of it too. Super friendly service, Jennifer who was our waitress was on top of everything! She was polite and prompt. Most definitely going to come back here!! Highly recommend!!!
Great grub! Cant wait to go back!!
This restaurant was suggested to us by a friend who lives in Fredricksburg. Its menu felt like home and comfort. The front dining area reminded me of a quaint cafe or diner. The service was very friendly and prompt. The waitress seemed to be the only one waiting on tables but she did it with a smile, patience and humor. I dont live in the area but will definately make this a stop when I come through again.
Great place to stop and eat. The food was delicious. May look a little suspect from the outside, but the staff was crazy nice and the food was good. Will go again when passing through.
Came here on a road trip.The food was amazing. We loved everything we got and the people were so nice.
Burnt left-over baked potatoes from yesterday that they called home fries, two of the thinnest half-burnt & half-raw bacon slices, barely toasted bread, small serving of egg whites for $8.25...just HORRIBLE!!!This is the second time Ive tried to eat here (the first time it was for lunch...gross)!PLEASE EVERYONE, GO ANYWHERE ELSE TO EAT A DECENT MEAL!!!
Amazing food. Great service.
Great little place right off 95 in Fredericksburg/Falmouth area. Service was quick and food was served just as fast.
Me and 2 others had the open roast beef, my father had the open turkey one. His was great. Our roast was dried out leather, terrible. The rest of the meal was great and the service was pretty decent.
Good food, good service decent prices and big portion sizes.
The staff was very friendly and the food was soooooo delicious!!!! Will stop there everytime were in that area!!!
The food and the service were outstanding! Everything tasted fresh and delicious! If I had to offer any suggestions it would be to update the decor somewhat. We will definitely return the next time we pass through Fredericksburg.
We jumped off 95 to get out of traffic to eat. Very cozy place. Good selection. Reasonable prices. Very nice, attentive, staff. We enjoy the grape leaves appetizer, greek burger, and gyro plate, with coconut cake for dessert. If you see this, its worth getting of I-95 for!
This was my first time back here since the newer ownership. I used to come here a lot when I was a kid with the previous owners. I came here for breakfast and got the creamed beef over a biscuit with bacon, eggs and potatoes. Wasnt disappointed. Service was nice and the atmosphere was cozy for a mom and pop owned spot.
I have eaten at this diner several times and I never had a bad experience until Sunday 05/23/2021. I ordered a western of omlette which includes ham, green peppers cheese, and had them add spinach. When I received my meal it included lots of not fully cooked spinach, and few piece of ham which seem to be pieces of deli ham, i think they had ran out and decided to substitute. The ham was very thin and few tiny pieces. Not only that there was a heavy set waitress that seen to be sick and was coughing all over the place and in her hand, and serving food. It was awful. Sanatizer was on the counter and not once did she use it. I set there for an entire hour and I watched her pick up toast, utensils, and move around other on customers plate with her bare hands. As a matter of fact none of them were gloves and handle food, pick up drinking glasses for refills from customers with their bare hands, and return back touching food items like toast, biscuits, etc. This one bad experience was enough to ruin one of of my favorite places to eat. I really hope they make changes.
Food and service 😋 was great 👍
Delicious food. Reasonable prices
Authentic Greek cuisine and full service bar! Perfect after a long drive on 95!
Been eating there for over 30 yrs always excellent food and service. By Both managers. - Owners.
So good 😊 very nice staff
Best food in the town, and very nice people there
Best place in area for homefries and burgers!
Over the top in customer service and great food. You will not leave there hungry or disappointed in service. Very clean and friendly. I will eat there every time I am in that part of Virginia.
Stopped here based on the good reviews and I am really perplexed.No air-conditioning on a 90 degree day made the dining room hot and stuffy.The souvlaki was just okay and the tzatziki didnt have any flavor whatsoever. The cole slaw was warm and soupy. While I got a glass of water from the person who seated me, the waitress never asked if I wanted anything else to drink.The dessert did look appealing but I did not sample anything. I just wanted to leave since it was so hot.
Good food, Greek Italian and American food.
This place was awesome.. great food and great service ..
Ordered a gyro & gyro platter. It was good just a little on the salty side. The waitress was attentive. No complaints in that dept except for over hearing the rest of the staff they cant wait to go home. Didnt show up at the last minute. We arrived an hour and half before close. Not expecting the world from a dinner. Just keep in mind thier prices are about the same as more upscale establishments. So if you want to go somewhere that you do not hear the music coming from the kitchen mixing with what is playing in the dinning area.... go else where.
Great presentation. Not to big on the chicken. Overall better than the last diner.
Great diner food, and fast service.
Great place for a quick breakfast. Recommend the Nutella Belgian Waffles! Our server Manal was so great! Will come see her again when we are driving through!
Nice atmosphere. Quiet. Pleasant waitress very helpful. Has Greek specialties for a nice lunch or dinner. Food was good and social distancing is observed there.
Love the food! Service can be hit or miss. Worth the trip for sure!!
Disappointed 😞. I heard great things about this place and I love diners. But this place is lackluster and needs a makeover. The parking lot is flooded. The staff seems distracted by their children or simply lack customer service skills. Their kids were running all over the place with no facial masks and little supervision. The decor is old and some booth seats were torn. There was a wall vent above our table that is filthy 😳 with visible dust and we are in a pandemic. My grits arrived cold. There were eggshell particles in my omelet. My utensils were dirty. Its nowhere near living up to its name Paradise Diner. We paid $50 plus tip . Wont be back.
Food was amazing loved everything.
Took me back to when I was a kid and a neighbor brought us some Greek food and was awesome. An this time I was so full otherwise would have gotten dessert...an I seen how big some of the desserts are like the carrot cake.great place,even better prices
This was my first time food was damn good and you definitely get your money worth we definitely return again compliments to the chef Jen
Big menu.. good food great service...reasonable prices
My family and I happened upon this diner while we were on vacation. The food was delicious. The staff was super friendly. It was such a pleasureable experience that we returned for breakfast the following morning and we were equally satisfied. Im sad this place isnt located closer to our home but its probably a good thing for my waistline 😂. If we head back this way in the future we wont hesitate to stop and enjoy this place again.
Excellent service the corn beef hash was uppity delicious
Always enjoy dining here! The food is delicious and in generous portions.
