Don't be fooled by "Traditional" reference to buffalo wings on menu. They are breaded, and the sauce isn't Texas Pete's. It's something with herbs. Never saw that in traditional buffalo wing sauce. Also had dragon wings; which is sort of a sweet/sour sauce. I liked them. Queso dip was cheesy, but run-of-the mill. Service was outstanding. Dillon (?) was on top of it! 4 star for service, outside dining and unusual menu (if that's your thing). 3 stars for "chain-like food and atmosphere (again, if that's your thing). I'd go again, but not on my "go to" list.

Been to other CBIP locations have enjoyed them more. The $1.99 margarita tasted like a cheap margarita, so no surprise there. Hostess was almost rude about having to find us a seat that would accommodate one of our party using a walker and it potentially creating a fire/trip hazard. Burgers were good and the French fries plentiful. We did get one of their signature CIP burgers, but the pulled barbecue on top was minimal and not worth the additional cost, and had to ask for the BBQ sauce, and wait a long time for it. May be back, but if we do we will lower our expectations.

Service at the bar is sub-par. I ask for a beer, water and a menu and get one of three. Perhaps I'm a tad harsh but it wasn't busy! 5-6 at the bar and two bartenders....come on!

Burger had no flavor. Fried pickles were too greasy and breading was not that good. Service was very slow and the place wasn't even that busy. They need to improve ALOT before I would consider returning.

Not worth it, I would go to Five Guys instead. I ordered a black & blue burger medium. It came out well done and there was barely any blue cheese on it. Fries were lukewarm. Not sure how this place stays in business if they can't do a burger and fries well. Also, why not do fresh cut fries like many other places? The processed frozen fries just do nothing for me.

This place is one of my favorite burger places to go while working in Hollywood. I recommend going on a Monday to get $5 1/2 lbs burger. I've been here about 4 times. I've had the normal burger, the sliders, dragon wings, buffalo wings, and the deep fried pickles. My least favorite of the bunch are the pickles. They are what you expect them to be, and it just feels unhealthy to me. Not good not bad. I would place the other 4 tied for first place. Their wings are great. Big, juicy, and crunchy. I really liked the dragon sauce, whatever it was, more than buffalo. As for the burgers, the meat tastes great! I like the simplicity of the sliders, and 8 sliders for $13 might be pricey, but worth it. The 1/2 lbs is also good, being that it comes fully loaded. I would definitely come back here, since it's close to my work site. As an added bonus, this place has a decent bar with plenty of TVs for sports.

Surprised to find a CIP in So Maryland so have it a try. Not a chain restaurant fan and this is one with its kitschy tiki-bar theme and food, but the food was good and plenty of burger choices. Service was friendly, though they put us at a back table and a bit die someone to notice us. Priced as you'd expect a chain to be priced. More choice than a straight burger place (Five Guys), but nothing so special as to go out of my way to come back.

So here in Southern Maryland you don't really get Flame Broiled Burgers which is what we like. Paradise is probably the only place to get a decent burger but it still lacks in quality and service. It's those small things that make an experience worth coming back. Now for the Rant. 1. We had to remind our server about getting a salad we ordered and the Lime wedge was never put in the soda. 2. The mushroom and Swiss chicken burgers was good but it had very little mushroom (about on tablespoon) and almost no grilled onions and one slice of Swiss Cheese. This Burger could have been much better. Overall it's just OK but everything else around here in SMOD is just ok and you never get quality and you never get great service.

I've eaten here a few times, and again just recently. I've enjoyed my visit every time! It's not the most spectacular restaurant ever, but they do have good burgers and fun drinks. The decor is very hawaiian/beachy....they even have a tiki style bar in the middle of everything. I got the bacon avacado burger last time, and my fiance got the kobe cheddar burger. They were both very good! The fries were very good too...one thing though, the drinks were a little weak. Don't get me wrong, they have all kinds of cool combinations and alcohol-infusions and brightly colored, beach-type drinks...but damn, put another shot in there! Overall, it's a good experience, with good food. I plan to continue going here.

This review would have been 4-5 stars, as the burger was fantastic, good bar area, attentive staff, and an overall good experience until the check came. My co-worked and I went here for happy hour to watch the world cup. The bartender informed us that domestic drafts were $3 each. Thinking this to be a good deal my co-woerker ordered Yuenling, while I ordered Sam Adams Summer both of which were on draft and are domestic. The bartender did not say a thing, and got us our drinks, and continued to happily bring us refills.When the check came I noticed my check being significantly more than my co-workers. This was due to the $7 Sam Adam Summers. I asked the bartender to explain why this was the case. She said that it had to be a domestic draft. When I pointed out that Sam Adams is brewed in Boston she said it was a seasonal and therefore did not qualify, and abruptly turned away without giving me time to voice my complaint. This was clearly false advertising and poor business practices.

Ewwww. So, first of all, the waitress we had today was an ass and in general, super annoying. Super slow, super unorganized. She was more worried about interjecting in our conversations than bringing us normal things like... SILVERWARE. It took her at least 15-20 minutes between drinks, so we were done our meals before we got a second drink (womp-womp). The food was OK.... Apps were better than the entrees, but again, we had no silverware or napkins, so it sucked to eat anything. My expectations weren't high, but they weren't this low either. I could take it or leave it. Oh, my salad was warm and it came out with my main dish... So, that was legit.

The menu is usually good. I went there on Memorial Day weekend at off peak hours, 1:45pm on a Saturday, was seated in the bar area at a table and waited 10 minutes for someone to take my drink order but that never happened. There were waitresses tending to the tables next to me but never acknowledged my presence. I walked out at the 11 minute mark. The 1 star is from my previous visit last year.

Bryan D.
If you charge $14 for a cheeseburger with pulled pork on the top, it had better be good. That was not the case last night. My first and ONLY bite was a mouth-full of gristle and pork fat disguised as pulled pork atop my burger. They obviously don't know to separate the fat from the meat when you make pulled pork barbecue. AND pulled pork barbecue should not be made in an oven. The only good things about this C.B.I.P. is the rowdy redneck bar crowd, strong drinks and sports on the televisions. Eat before you go and sit at the bar.

Thomas G.
I almost never review chains but felt it necessary in this instance. The service here straight out sucks. The employees spend there whole shift sitting in the booths, busily ignoring the customers. The bar tenders have zero menu knowledge, and even less drink knowledge. Hey, what's in a tequila sunrise? "Vodka and stuff!" Manager? Oh wait, he's asleep on his car.

We come down to this part of Southern Maryland almost monthly but we've never stopped at Cheeseburger in Paradise, even though we always mean to. So, this was the day we finally stopped and and we regret not doing it sooner! My youngest daughter order a Root beer float and she loved it. My other daughter and I ordered the Strawberry lemonade which was also awesome. My Hickory burger was cooked perfect and tasted great, I will ordered that again next time. The 12 year old ordered the mushroom swiss burger but it was the size of her head. She loved it but it came home with us and she finished it later. My oldest order the fajita bowl, she said it was fresh and was happy to snack on it later in the evening. All of use loved the fries! Everything was perfect for a first experience. The service was great and the place was very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

We were seated for 15 min before anyone came over. We asked for a manager and he took our order. Took another 40 to get our food. There was a 7 top that were seated after us and they received their food first. Finally got out food and one of the plates were wrong. At least the NFL playoffs were on. Bad show Cheeseburger.

Opie S.
Pretty good for a chain around here. I like the 'Choose two combo' and I get the gumbo and the Cuban sandwich. They have fairly good prices on beer and I like the big towers of beer you can order. It can get pretty crowded so don't be surprised if there's a long wait or you have to stand.

My husband and I tried CBIP for the first time on our mini vacation to southern MD. First off, let me say as a waiter, I am quite picky about my service, but I'm also generous for even mediocre service. The hostess staff was very friendly and sat us very quickly. On our way in is a giant sign above your head that says $1.99 margaritas all day everyday... sounded good, and when I sat down and saw the $1.99 advertisement for margaritas on the table also, I was convinced I needed a margarita. Our waiter arrived and asked if we wanted drinks. I said margarita. He asked if I wanted salt, and I said yes. He got us drinks and waters which we didn't ask for, which was nice, but unnecessary. We ordered their fried pickles, and the shortly after we ordered our burgers. Well... our burgers came, but when we asked about the appetizer, he seemed stumped also. He walked away while I was saying "don't bother, just make sure it isn't on the check" and he turned and smiled, but he must have not been listening then also, cause he came back with our app. Whatever... it was good, and the burgers were good. My BIG problem is that he charged me 6.95 for the margarita. After inspecting all the other drink menus on the table I discovered he served me a top shelf margarita without my permission. That's shady. I didn't order it fancy. I didn't wink when I ordered it or anything. If you are advertising $1.99 margaritas all over your establishment in various menus and signs, when a customer orders a margarita, the server should ask "Did you want a $1.99 margarita or we have a variety or other kinds..." Look, I get it. It's not ideal to serve discount alcohol as a server, but that is your restaurant's promotion, and you need me on your side if you want better than 15%

Great place to come for a drink after work... There was a band playing on a Friday night once. I brought my kids once and they had little Frisbees that doubled as plates. The kids still have them.

I'm giving this location 4 stars because normally the service is great, the location is easy to access and the food's usually really good. We went here for Easter. Service was still great but the food? Not so much. Generally I go with the house salad (generous portion, comes with asparagus, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, tortilla strips and your choice of dressing) and the Chocolate Nachos. (absolute yummy - homemade chocolate nacho and white nacho served with vanilla ice cream and fresh sliced strawberries and covered in chocolate syrup)This time I thought I would try something new to tempt my tastebuds. Yeah, should've stayed with the tried and true. We ordered the Spinach & Crab dip with tortillas. The chips were delicious. Salty and peppery. The dip? Not alot of flavor going on. The generous amount of spinach with asiago cheese and tons of lump crabmeat cried out for seasoning of some kind. HUGE, HUGE disappointment. We didnt even finish it. My husband got the coconut shrimp with teriyaki broccoli. Broccoli was very good. Not over or under cooked. The flavoring was right on. The coconut shrimp was rubbery and little flavor unless you dipped it in the pina coloda dipping sauce. I got the fish & chips (minus the chips - I also went with the delish teriyaki broccoli) My fish wasn't greasy or oily like some places make it. The fish was flaky. But. Again another dish with no flavor. The batter on the fish apparently was nothing more than flour. Or maybe cornmeal? I had to mix ketchup and tartar sauce to get flavor. I will go back. I will stick with my go to meal of house salad with honey mustard dressing and chocolate nachos. Fun place to visit - sometimes they have local live music and there's always the tv's to watch your favorite sport on. (apparently yesterday someone wanted to watch ice skating.nothing against ice skating but it seemed outta place with the golf, baseball and soccer going on. hmmm....) Almost forgot to add, they have 2 patio's for outside "beach" seating. We come down in the summer when we're all on the bikes. It's perfect for large groups.

The place was good but still a chain. I give it 3 stars because they are trying to go for gourmet food but not the place do to so. I had the nachos. Although the flavor was decent there were still some after tastes that didn't agree with me. My wife had the gumbo and the quesadilla and as she put it, "there was way to much crap on it". My daughters had mac and cheese and burger and weren't fond enough to finish it. All in all, it is nice to know there is one here, but not a place we will visit regularly. Hope you enjoy your dining!

Erin E.
I go here often and am always satisfied with the food... however, a place called "Cheeseburger in Paradise" should be able to make an outstanding burger. This is not the case in this place. I honestly believe Five Guys makes a better burger. The burgers at this place are just as good as the ones I make at home for much cheaper. Honestly, I recommend getting the turkey avocado wrap (OMG! SO GOOD!) or one of their chicken options.

Scott S.
This place is loud and full of obnoxious people. The food is not good with the exception of fried pickles. In general this place is just as bland and unoriginal as Applebees and Ruby Tuesdays. If you are a big fan of chain restaurants, this one won't make you as sick as Red Robin, so that is why it gets two stars instead of one.

I am giving 4 stars for two reasons. The drinks and the fried pickles!!!! Everything else is average.

Food is ok drinks is what I come for a Tall Capt-n-Coke w/ lemon for me. Love Jimmy Buffet but I hate the damn theme being played every hour. Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise), Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradise), Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise), I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise!!! Come on Jimmy come up with something else. Thank God the TV's drown out the music. 2 Stars on the food and 5 on the booze!!!

Three of us went to lunch here today. One had a wrap. I had fish and chips. The third had a burger. Everything was really good and nicely plated. The service was top notch and everyone left satisfied. The only thing that was less than great was the slaw that came with my fish and chips. It has pineapple in it. Maybe that's a fusion thing but this is southern Maryland where slaw is slaw. Don't disrespect local tradition! We'll be back but we will avoid the slaw until they serve it the right way. Dee by God Cal'n!!!

The food here is only good after you've had about 3 of their drinks. Don't come here for the food. The booze, however is worth it.

So, I gave this place one last try, and I would have to say, don't waste your time and money here. The food is plain and just un-appetizing. I have had better burgers at Applebees and Ruby Tuesday, which are conviently just down the road. The drinks are about all it has going for the place, but than again, you could get the same stuff at the other two restaurants I just mentioned. The service is good to just bad. The first time I came here, the service was good. The second time, I sat at the bar and it was kind of like just okay, nothing special. The last time, I felt like I had to grab the girl by the throat to get her attention. She was too busy flirting with the other guys at the bar! Will, I ever come back here? Don't count on it!

The individual hamburgers served at restaurants are prepared using everything including lettuce, onion, tomato, and sliced pickles as well as melted cheese on the patty or crumbled on top. American restaurants also serve veggie burgers for those who don't relish meat. Cheeseburgers are also hot favorite in the United States.

I'm giving this location 4 stars because normally the service is great, the location is easy to access and the food's usually really good. We went here for Easter. Service was still great but the food? Not so much. Generally I go with the house salad (generous portion, comes with asparagus, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, tortilla strips and your choice of dressing) and the Chocolate Nachos. (absolute yummy - homemade chocolate nacho and white nacho served with vanilla ice cream and fresh sliced strawberries and covered in chocolate syrup)This time I thought I would try something new to tempt my tastebuds. Yeah, should've stayed with the tried and true. We ordered the Spinach & Crab dip with tortillas. The chips were delicious. Salty and peppery. The dip? Not alot of flavor going on. The generous amount of spinach with asiago cheese and tons of lump crabmeat cried out for seasoning of some kind. HUGE, HUGE disappointment. We didnt even finish it. My husband got the coconut shrimp with teriyaki broccoli. Broccoli was very good. Not over or under cooked. The flavoring was right on. The coconut shrimp was rubbery and little flavor unless you dipped it in the pina coloda dipping sauce. I got the fish & chips (minus the chips - I also went with the delish teriyaki broccoli) My fish wasn't greasy or oily like some places make it. The fish was flaky. But. Again another dish with no flavor. The batter on the fish apparently was nothing more than flour. Or maybe cornmeal? I had to mix ketchup and tartar sauce to get flavor. I will go back. I will stick with my go to meal of house salad with honey mustard dressing and chocolate nachos. Fun place to visit - sometimes they have local live music and there's always the tv's to watch your favorite sport on. (apparently yesterday someone wanted to watch ice skating.nothing against ice skating but it seemed outta place with the golf, baseball and soccer going on. hmmm....) Almost forgot to add, they have 2 patio's for outside "beach" seating. We come down in the summer when we're all on the bikes. It's perfect for large groups.

The place was good but still a chain. I give it 3 stars because they are trying to go for gourmet food but not the place do to so. I had the nachos. Although the flavor was decent there were still some after tastes that didn't agree with me. My wife had the gumbo and the quesadilla and as she put it, "there was way to much crap on it". My daughters had mac and cheese and burger and weren't fond enough to finish it. All in all, it is nice to know there is one here, but not a place we will visit regularly. Hope you enjoy your dining!

I go here often and am always satisfied with the food... however, a place called "Cheeseburger in Paradise" should be able to make an outstanding burger. This is not the case in this place. I honestly believe Five Guys makes a better burger. The burgers at this place are just as good as the ones I make at home for much cheaper. Honestly, I recommend getting the turkey avocado wrap (OMG! SO GOOD!) or one of their chicken options.

This place is loud and full of obnoxious people. The food is not good with the exception of fried pickles. In general this place is just as bland and unoriginal as Applebees and Ruby Tuesdays. If you are a big fan of chain restaurants, this one won't make you as sick as Red Robin, so that is why it gets two stars instead of one.

I am giving 4 stars for two reasons. The drinks and the fried pickles!!!! Everything else is average.

Outdoor seating area is great- changes the whole atmosphere. Food is good (the Crispy Fish Tacos are my go-to dish whenever I come). The drinks are good, and service has been great. Dont come in expecting gourmet food options, but they have a fabulous bar.

Food is ok drinks is what I come for a Tall Capt-n-Coke w/ lemon for me. Love Jimmy Buffet but I hate the damn theme being played every hour. Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise), Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradise), Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise), I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise!!! Come on Jimmy come up with something else. Thank God the TV's drown out the music. 2 Stars on the food and 5 on the booze!!!

Food is okay at best, don't waste time on entrees, just snack on appetizers and drinks. Live bands on weekends are great, outdoor seating area is my favorite.

Awesome tropical cocktail menu and a menu big enough to appease almost anyone in your group. Love that it's right around the corner from Wildewood.

Three of us went to lunch here today. One had a wrap. I had fish and chips. The third had a burger. Everything was really good and nicely plated. The service was top notch and everyone left satisfied. The only thing that was less than great was the slaw that came with my fish and chips. It has pineapple in it. Maybe that's a fusion thing but this is southern Maryland where slaw is slaw. Don't disrespect local tradition! We'll be back but we will avoid the slaw until they serve it the right way. Dee by God Cal'n!!!

The food here is only good after you've had about 3 of their drinks. Don't come here for the food. The booze, however is worth it.

So, I gave this place one last try, and I would have to say, don't waste your time and money here. The food is plain and just un-appetizing. I have had better burgers at Applebees and Ruby Tuesday, which are conviently just down the road. The drinks are about all it has going for the place, but than again, you could get the same stuff at the other two restaurants I just mentioned. The service is good to just bad. The first time I came here, the service was good. The second time, I sat at the bar and it was kind of like just okay, nothing special. The last time, I felt like I had to grab the girl by the throat to get her attention. She was too busy flirting with the other guys at the bar! Will, I ever come back here? Don't count on it!
