Great breakfast spot! The place was bustling when we arrived but we were seated quickly. Our waitress, Anna, was very helpful with recommendations and very accommodating with special requests. The food was terrific, especially the pancakes. We'll be back!

First- there are flies everywhere. This is forgivable, especially sitting on a patio, but it certainly makes for a gross experience. Inside smelled so strongly of cleaner that wasn't an option- it should've been my sign to leave. I ordered coffee, two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. The eggs were a bit greasy, but fine, same with the toast. The hasbrowns were just pure grease and inedible. I was halfway through the bacon when I saw a hair cooked onto one of the pieces. So that was the end of that. The service is slow, and the waitstaff is hard to flag down, even when it's empty. I guess it's about what you should expect for a strip mall cafe. But save your money- there's a Starbucks nearby just go there instead.

The food is excellent no complaints there just a service is kind of it needs improvement. Let's just say that.

Eggs Benedict classic style are perfect. Hash browns done crispy just right. Never disappointed.

Was very kind to staff, but food was way below average and prepared poorly. Didn't seem like the serving staff or cook(s) cared to be there. Check was brought to us while we were eating our meal. Will not be back. Disappointed, do not recommend

The food is good. Don't come hunrgy you may pass out before your food comes out. Otherwise it's cool, nice music and a good location.

We were searching Yelp all morning for a breakfast place with country fried steak, corned beef hash, and booze and came across this place. First off, employees were all so friendly and quick. The hostess chatted with us for a bit and we absolutely loved her! We also ended up ordering off the Benedict menu instead because if they have a separate menu for that, how could we not! We ordered bottomless mimosas, Modelo Negra michelada, Reuben Benedict, Country Benedict,... ALL AMAZING! I haven't enjoyed breakfast this much in a very long time! We will definitely be back during our next visit!!!

Excellent food, good service, and decent prices. We were there when they first opened (7am), so it was obviously very quiet. It was clean, and the restrooms were spotless (a rarity these days).

They are super slow... We got here around 12, couple of people are waiting in front of us. They told us it's about 40 mins waiting and give us the pager, but it never vibrate. We asked them again after 40 mins because half of people seems gone then they gave us a table. After we sit, they never come to take our order, we waited for about 15-20 mins I had to go to ask them come take our order and now it's 1p

Disappointed, not worth your time, low hygiene forever wait time!!! We spend so much time waiting on the food that I'm no longer want to waste it in the review, but I do it so no one else will have the same experience. The sitting time was immediate. Placed an order an order and sat there for 45 min and finally asked how much more we should wait. The waitress was very disrespectful and impolite and said that we are very busy and it will take another 20 to 30 min and she specifically told us and pointed at two tables that their order is ahead of us! TOTAL 1.15 HOUR FOR BREAKFAST!!!!! and they weren't up front with customers that's the worst(I dont mind waiting if I know how much!) Since the experience was already ruined we cancled the order. One waiter was trying to be nice and leave a good experience by disregading the charges for coffee but the same waitress lady was just having lack of customer service and we just wanted to pay whatever get out! In a nut shell, save your day and go somewhere else!

This place for sure is a hidden gem. Avoid all the tourist traps in this area and overpriced hotel food. Go here. The pancakes are huge and fluffy. They have affordable kid meals! I got the pancake sandwich, which was just 2 pancakes eggs and a meat. So good. My 1 star reduction was because the service is kind of slowish. Not alarmingly slow though, and the scrambled eggs were not good for some reason. But I got a strawberry cheesecake pancake. Omg best thing ever.

Ugh I feel compelled to write a review just to warn other guests. Good: -really friendly staff -pancakes were pretty good! Bad: -horrible wait times, like really bad. We came in around 10:45 or so on a Tuesday morning. It was relatively busy inside and they seemed understaffed. We sat down immediately and got water right away then waited for 10 minutes for someone to drop menus by. We waited about 20 more minutes just to order and then about another hour passed until our food came. The table behind us sat down after we did and already had their food, and the table next to us ordered first and got their food after us. Even a heads up about the kitchen running behind would have been nice. The wait was bad and definitely unexpected. -air conditioning inside shut off for a period of time while waiting for our food and it was getting unbearably stuffy in there. There were ceiling fans but they weren't on for some reason? Also unexpected during August in the desert -ground beef omelet was overpriced and came with a laughable "side" of guac and sour cream, like maybe a teaspoon and a half of each smeared on the side of the plate -fruit on the pancakes didn't seem very fresh, strawberries were mushy and the color was off putting -orange juice was super watery and bland Not the servers fault but it was an all around uncomfortable dining experience and we won't be back. No pics because we wanted to get out of there asap.

Their menu had a selection of brunch foods and I ordered a classic eggs, sausage, and hash browns for breakfast which also came with a side of toast. The overall taste and quality of the food was great. Pork sausage was crispy and had excellent flavor but the hash brown could've been more seasoned. Service was great, I asked for my eggs to be cooked a little more and within 5 minutes they returned with my plate. The toast which I chose sourdough was toasted perfectly and went well with the butter provided. Wait time wasn't too long and overall the food and service was enjoyable.

Okay, the reason I'm adding to this review that I have already posted is because I MISS THIS PLACE!!!! Moved out of state and EVERY restaurant we go to that serves comparable dishes gets compared to Paradise Cove!!! So those of you that get to enjoy... don't take for granted, cause this place is a gem and BON APPÉTIT!!! CHEERS!!!

Pictures are a little deceiving. I don't like writing bad reviews but if there was some honesty about this place, I wouldn't have gone. The Yelp page sounds more appealing than what you actually get. I went there July 22, 2022 at 11:30 am (In case the owner wants to see who was on shift in the kitchen then). I went because of a dish on the Yelp page that wasn't even on the menu when I got there. The veggies in my omelette were still raw and cut in different sizes. The meat tasted funny. I didn't get sick but I was prepared to. I could hear the kitchen staff laughing and joking loudly, which is fine if they cooked my food thoroughly. Service was nice but needs to check on tables more. My pancakes were cold by the time I could find my waitress. One thing that bothered me was that they had tables full of prepping materials (ketchup to refill, napkins and forks stuff) which is fine...if someone is actively working on it. But it was 11:30 am, in the heat of the busy hour and those tables were probably the best seats in the restaurant. It definitely made the customers cramped. They have cleaning supplies (mop, bucket, spray bottle and stuff) out in the open view. Honestly an odd experience and won't be returning.
