After a full day at the Bronx Zoo with my Mom and Sister Alex, we were starving. Dennis suggested Champps, but went to the Woodbridge mall, forgetting it was in the Menlo Park Mall. So we drove around a bit, then decided on Cheeseburger in Paradise, for our Dad was a huge Jimmy Buffett fan. The exterior is super cute, and very colourful with outdoor seating and adirondak chairs for waiting customers. There must have been a dance recital in the area, due to the fact that there were many 4 year olds in ballet costumes, and hoards of babies screaming at the top of their lungs. We all had hunger headaches, so I asked the hostess (politely of course) if we could be seated away from the children. She gave me a NASTY look and said "yeah" with an attitude. If it were just Dennis & I- we would have walked out immediately. We do not tolerate attitide. So we sat down and took a look around. It was very cute, very beachy, and of course there was nothing but Jimmy Buffett music playing. The menu is more like bar food, appetizers, snacks. Not really the place for a "dinner" perse'.
Our waitress "Meredith" came over and introduced herself. She was soooo cute and friendly, like a cute little hamster you want to put in your pocket and take home. She is a great server, and was singing along with the music as she served us. She was just a ray of sunshine!
We ordered our drinks, and Dennis & I ordered salads as appetizers.
The salads were obviously from a bag, and most of the lettuce was brown, and turning.
There were shredded nacho type chips sprinkled on top, which only tasted of grease. They were awful.
I'd give the salads a zero if I could.
Entrees:
One thing I LOVE about this place, is that you can substitute a veggie or turkey burger at no extra charge!
I ordered the burger with guacamole and pepper jack cheese with a veggie patty of course. I didn't get fries for some reason, but she was happy to bring some out for me. Let's just say the only way I would eat this meal again if I were in a bomb shelter because the zombie apocolypse is upon us, and I may die if I don't eat. GET IT??? It was not a good meal. The guacamole had zero taste. Fries were extremely bland and all I could taste was the oil they were cooked in. YUCK! I couldn't wait to get out of there.
Dennis ordered the cajun burger which was on special. He hated it, but ate it. Then again, he'll eat just about anything! :)
Mom ordered the cheesesteak (well done) with onion straws. It came out perfectly cooked, She LOVED it!(And she's hard to please!) She said next time she would get it without the cheese, for it was a bit too overwhelming. But she was very much in love with the onion straws.
Alex got the "Beach Burger" just a regular cheeseburger. And thought it was okay. She ordered a side of coleslaw which Meredith warned us contained almonds and pineapple, and Alex LOVED it!
Dessert: Dennis had the chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream,which was absolutely delicious.
Alex & I had the key lime pie. We found it to be extremely metallic in taste, but the crust and whipped creme on top were great. We were quite disappointed :(
So overall- we didn't like it. but the atmosphere was great.
Kid friendly- Yeah I guess...there were tons of kids there.
Dog friendly- No. Scrapper doesn't like kids, so he won't go there.
Would we go back? N O!!!!
