★★★★★ 5.0 Jenna-Lee Motsis · Feb 2026

Went in tonight for the “Fries Before Guys” special and was absolutely blown away! The restaurant is tiny, but makes an impact! The ambiance is inviting and the service was incredible. The steak was the best I’ve had out at a restaurant anywhere-not just a special or gimmick to get people in the door. The fries were homemade and delicious and the Caesar salad was perfect. The drinks were well made and we got dessert too-the ice cream tacos are to die for! So worth the price of admission. Great special and a perfect treat for a Wednesday night. Definitely recommend and will be back!

We enjoyed Paddle Inn twice in one week! First, for dinner we tried the pork belly ramen and the shrimp poke bowl. Then for brunch we had the shrimp and grits along with the fried chicken and scallion pancake. While dinner was delicious the star was the brunch menu! As a born and raised southerner, those shrimp and grits were by far the best I’ve ever had. Service for both meals was on point. We will be back for brunch again soon!

Quite the interesting menu, definitely the place to go to spice up date night or drinks with friends. The whole place has such a fun vibe, add in the splashy cocktails and unique menu, and it's a recipe for a great time. I really liked their take on crab rangoons, the crab was very fresh and flavorful, and the sauce on point. The pupusas were also excellent, and honestly I can't say I've ever seen those on a menu anywhere else in the area. This is the kind of place where you want to come back just so you can try the rest of the menu!

Love this place ! Go to every time I'm coming to NBPT. Love the music, the atmosphere and service is okay. Very interesting menu: rive noddle carbonara, the cod is very good as well, Spicy tuna is a funny and good surprise ! I recommend this place !

The food was very good, lots of flavors and spice! Our server was phenomenal, very attentive and knowledgable about the menu offerings. The music was loud, maybe for a younger crowd, but our seating was comfortable. We would go back!
