Paula’s Beachside Grill

Food was good, server needed training, she was way under skilled for how busy. They need to rethink their animal policy as I watched a woman clean up after her dog and dump it in a garbage can at the bar. I would assume this is a health code issue.

Hadn’t been here since it was Pomar’s. That place was nearly falling down. It rained inside the place when it was raining. But that’s another review.
I love the décor. It’s a place that Paula must have been planning for a while.
The service was great but it was a Wednesday at 2:30.
The food was basic. The award winning chili was bland but when salted wasn’t too bad. My Greek Salad was missing a few key elements. No pepperoncini, and no red onion. And the olives were not kalamata. I guess this is a beach bar. Expectations should be set accordingly.
The Stella that I had was possibly not a Stella. It tasted more like a Bud. But at $ 3.77…I’ll take it. And the selection was weak as well. That’s not good for a beach bar.
Finally…the use of beachside is a bit loose. Like another said… it’s more roadside. The beach is walking distance but not in view.

It is more roadside, than beachside. However, it’s close enough to the beach that it doesn’t matter. We come to the island every year, and this is one of our favorite hang outs. Burgers are good, good gator baskets, cold beer, and I have always had good service. Even if when it took the server a second reminder to bring my son’s root beer, no big deal. Relax! You are at the beach! I recommend you try it. We will certainly be back!

Not worth it. Stopped here first night we were in Cresent Beach because it was right next to our hotel & dog friendly. Food was horrible. Clam strips were only giant because they had so much breading & little pieces of clam inside as well as coconut shrimp. Service was friendly.

I simply cannot STAND any establishment that cannot get a simple order right. We placed an order for Margarita fries (with award winning chili and… cheedar (insert eyeroll here. I assume they mean cheddar).
When we got to the beach and opened the box, we were given a hot dog, covered with what I assume is the award winning chili, but no cheedar (yes, i misspelled it on purpose) and fries.
The fries were okay. Plain. Nothing spectacular. We considered putting some of the chili on them, but its just not the same without the cheese.
The chili dog was good. My dog ate a large portion of the weiner by itself and she seemed satisfied. She might go back, but only if she learns how to drive. The rest of us? Eh… probably not.

Grill lunch. More like roadside than beachside. Food was great. Our waitress made a show of memorizing our 6 person order but then forgot half the stuff. My mahi portion was very very small.

One of the best burgers I ever had. Robbie was an great waiter. The chili just like I like it. Meaty with dark kidneys — lots of peppers and onions. Did I mention the perfect burger pickle. Will be back very often. Highly recommended. Gonna try the fish and hot dogs.

Paula’s is a solid place to grab a bite to eat. We had the Greek salad with shrimp and he blue cheese burger… check out the burger picture… great value and laid back, one block from the beach too!

Great blackened Mahi!
Great Service, brought an umbrella for my patio table, water for my pup, and super friendly.
PET friendly on the outdoor patio:)

Cool place, I go there often. Burgers are really good but last two times I went there they were over cooked and I even ordered medium rare. Service can be a little slow but hey we live at the beach right?

we won’t be neighbors any longer but we aren’t that far from here. We will be back many times. You guys are the BEST. Awesome friends and we loved eating here. So nice to have your dinner brought straight to your door. Gonna miss not seeing ALL of you everyday.

I ordered a ‘natural, real-​fruit’ smoothie and got some saccharine overpriced artificial sludge

Cheeseburgers are delicious, and so are the fried shrimp. Happy hour is outstanding (2 for 1). Great local feel and location on, Crescent Beach. Paula is a doll and is always there to accommodate her customers. Always treated like you are special. I lived here my whole life and couldn’t recommend a better place, on the beach, to eat. Our server, Robbie, is the best in town. He went out of his way to make sure my wife and I were 100% happy. Always ask for Robbie when visiting Paula’s Beachside. Best part: the beer is always ice cold!

The food was great and the service was better! John is an awesome server and he was very entertaining as well. Very relaxing and beachy atmosphere was fun and comfortable for the whole family. Having come to this area for over 25 years I would say that the food was just as good as any other popular restaurant in the area. I will definitely come back!

I can’t even review the food because the service was so HORRIBLE. Our «waitress» (and I use that term very loosely) Ursula, told me she was going to get me menus, then stood at the bar talking with other people while my wife and I sat for 10 minutes before leaving. Can’t wait to tell everyone I know never to go there!

Large portions. Hamburger lacked flavor. French fries tasteless. Fish overcooked. Excellent service. Exceedingly over priced.

Service was good. Food was overpriced. Quantity was also meager for a hefty price.
I liked their gator bucket. Tasted like chicken nuggets… maybe a little overly greasy though.
