“Great little bar next to the motel we stayed at. We were in town for the eclipse and this was our go to in evenings. Food was great, drinks were strong and family owned bar and they were great. Highly recommend eating and drinking here if in town!“

“Very positive experience. Excellent breakfast food with great fast customer service. Biscuits were flaky and buttery much better than most I have. Hot cakes were good to eat without any syrup even. French toast was delicious with some butter cinnamon powder sugar, sausage, gravy, eggs , bacon, and waffles all good.“

“Surprised at how good it was. French onion soup was perfect and my ribeye was as flavorful as the best 5 star steak house's,tender and cooked just right. Baked potato and grilled asparagus were very good also. My wife had tenderloin and squash and zucchini and liked it just as well. A little pricey, but worth it. If I lived in the area I would dine there often.“

“Stopped in on Eclipse day for some shrimps! Walk in, pick your choosing and order up. Once you've ordered, have a seat order your drink and wait for your number to be called. Shrimp is amazing.....They did not disappoint. Fresh, delicious and with every cent. The buffalo chicken dip and corn nuggets were all very tasty. Drink service is a little slow but overall worth the drive.“

“My partner and I have eaten lunch here many times and no matter what we order, it's always amazing! The staff is very friendly. We ordered cupcakes for our joint birthdays, they are beautiful and delicious! I cannot recommend Artisan Kitchen enough!!“

“They truly thought of everything. Me and my husband went for our 7year anniversary. Sitter canceled so we tagged along our two kids. Service was incredible, waitress helped settle our kids in and made several accommodations: swapping out plates so our toddler didn’t break the glass one when it gets launched off the table, coloring Matt’s and popsicles carefully wrapped so their hands didn’t get cold.Food was cooked perfectly. Everything came out and was enjoyed . So many flavors I never even knew would come together for the masterpiece our diner was. We had pork rinds, pepperoni dip, pea soup (Devine!), steak and catfish- true catfish. My kids ate every bite. Finished off with fresh popsicles! We will be back!“

“Great location, service was excellent, beer was not bad. Now, the burger? One of the best damned burgers I have ever eaten! It was huge! Moist and flavorful. The bun obviously was sourced from a local bakery. If you find yourself in Paducah, KY, stop in here and enjoy the beer, but FALL IN LOVE WITH THE BURGER!! My wife loved the chicken tenders too. The Parmesan fries were to die for! Don't even get us started on the chocolate pie!“

“Love Mel's Diner, love the feel and decor the food is always hot and well prepared waitresses are hard at it, and the cook, chef, is a great guy, next time I eat at Mel's diner I will remember to take photos to share.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking to a easy entrance“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem in Paducah. It is truly a mom and pop restaurant. The food is authentic and the atmosphere is very cozy and inviting. The breakfast was a lot but it was delicious. They know locals like my father in law by name and welcome them like they are family. It's nice to see restaurants still appreciate their regulars. The service was above and beyond. They checked every 5-10 min if we needed a refill or anything else and offered a to go cup. Who does this anymore?“

“Have never ordered anything but delicious meals here! I love the whimsical decor! Be sure to try the Beach Ball salad! The Wave is so delicious and on and on. Best ice tea in Paducah! Best burgers! And on and on!Parking: Parking is sometimes hard to find a space because they are always very busy the times I have been there. Always manage to find one though“

“Tried Culver's for the first time tonight, and it was an oasis in 19 hours of eclipse traffic! The food was good, the employees were nice, and the patio vibe was lit.Plus it was the first time on this trip that I got to use a chill, clean bathroom without angry patrons waiting in line. Like even the other customers seemed really happy here!“

“Homestyle heaven! Visiting family, from Nashville and wanted some good old fashioned home cooking and this place knocked it out of the park! Chicken and dressing, catfish, fried chicken, greens, cabbage, carrots, Mac, mash potatoes, fresh salad bar, and desserts all over the place. Service unbelievable! All the ladies made you feel at home. Wanted for nothing! Whether you live in P-town or you’re just visiting…you have to go. Can’t wait to go back. ????????“

“Found this cafe searching for a place to eat while in Paducah visiting the NQM and so glad I did! Staff werevery friendly, excellent service. And we had nothing but compliments for the food. The boiler room beef sliderswere perfectly cooked, delicious. There's a nice outdoor patio available or comfortable seating indoors too.Definitely will be back!“

“I visit Paducah about 2 or 3 times a year and this is my favorite salad in the world...Curtis Salad. It was 15 minutes until they closed...I called and ask and they said come on down..they set me up I had my salad and they were AMAZINGLY kind. Great service great food...House of Grace is a "no miss" place in ?️ “

“An old trusty fall back. I have eaten here several times on way through Paducah as this location is close to the interstate. Was feeling like a salad and some shrooms. I love the shrooms and the house salad and house dressings have satisfied me for several decades. Service was fast and attentive and I was in and out in around 30 minutes. The restaurant hasn't changed much since I first started going to a Rafferty's back in the 80's good food and solid service.“

“A throwback to the old time diner and drive-in. The dining room is decorated in Elvis and James Dean. The menu is large and varied. The food is classic American fare. The burgers are huge and are served in a guitar shaped basket. The staff is pleasant and accommodating.Parking: Plenty of spaces for drive-in dining and a large gravel lot behind the restaurant for dine-in guests.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is available. The atmosphere is family oriented.“
