Cheeseburger in Paradise Kansas City, KS

I visited this place on a Saturday night with my wife.  We both had cocktails, wings, and burgers.  I'm rating this place on a grading system from A to F.

Price

Price was pretty fair.  Burgers were between 7 and $9 each.  Specialty cocktails were around $6. I think we spent $35 for the two of us for one drink each, an appetizer, and our entrees.  I rate price at a B.

Cleanliness

Restaurant was clean with no noticeable issues.  A-

Service

There was about a 15 minute wait for our table, but luckily there was plenty of room at the bar for us to sit and wait.  The bartender was awesome and super nice.  Our waitress was prompt and had a great sense of humor.  A+

Food

Food met all of our expectations.  The wings were the best we've had in a long time.  Drinks weren't watered down or too strong.  An A rating on category.

Selection

Menu was pretty decent. Cheeseburger in Paradise has a separate drink menu with several drink options.  There is a large selection of burgers (hence the name) and other entrees as well.  You can also choose to get a vegan, turkey, or chicken burger as a substitute for no extra cost.  Rating:  A

Overall

Overall I would highly recommend Cheeseburger in Paradise to anyone. They have a great atmosphere that almost puts you right on the beach.  We visited this place when they first opened a few years ago and the food and service kept us away for a long time.  Now, I am definitely glad we gave it a second shot.  Overall rating of an A.

Thanks for reading my blog.   Keep reading next week when I rate another restaurant.  

Cheddars Restaurant Overland Park Kansas

I visited this restaurant on Sunday April 7, 2013 at 5 pm  with my wife and 2 year old child.  I am rating each category from A to F.

Review

Cost

Between 6 and $12 per plate.  We spent $32 for the 3 of us for 3 drinks, an appetizer, 2 adult entrees, and 1 child entree.  Not too bad. I rate it at a B+

Value for the price

Pretty comparable to other restaurants like this:  Applebees, TGI Fridays, etc. B rating

Cleanliness

I rate this at a D.  Floors look like they hadn't been vacuumed in a week.  Menus were dirty.  Sugar packet bowl was empty.  My sons booster seat was covered in an unknown sticky substance.

Service

I rate this at a C.  Our server was friendly but not overly friendly.  Our drinks were refilled once but the glasses remained empty for a while.  My son spilled his drink and the server was obviously annoyed with this.  We weren't checked on after our appetizer was brought out.  

Food

C + Food was brought out cold.  You could tell that it sat out for awhile because the cheese on my philly was hard.  Presentation was pretty good, but the flavor was bland.

Menu Selection

Menu selection rates at a B.  Although I did not have any cocktails, Cheddars does have a large variety of cocktails that look really good. They have a pretty good selection of sandwiches to choose from as well.

Overall

Overall I would give Cheddars in Overland Park, KS a C rating.  I probably won't return or recommend this place to anyone.  I might return to try drinks.
