“I am at this sonic so much, I love sonic. SONIC IS MY LIFE. Dragon Fruit Red bull is amazing. Service is usually pretty fast. The only complaintsI have are: I always have to order mayo on the side in a CUP bc there is no mayo packets ever. Also, when I get a gralic butter bacon cheeseburger that thang is always DRENCHED , I mean leaks everywhere all over my car, one time I had to open my door and let it leak on the ground … lol. But other then that its a good sonic.“

“We love coming here. Everyone is very friendly and they have the smoothest ice cream and great sorbet. One of the things I think that sets this place apart is their awesome waffle cones! You won't find better ice cream or nicer people anywhere!“

“Great service, Fantastic quality, amazing taste, professional staff!“

“I'm glad we found this place during our road trip. The staff were awesome - friendly and efficient. The sandwiches and sides were satisfying. Vanilla and chocolate malts were very good. The place is small and quickly filled up with locals at lunchtime.“

“I've made it to the Paducah Crumbl twice now on my commutes between work and family. I never had their product before until recently. Ive heard about the hype tho.... A worker named Emily that waited on me during both occasions was the absolute best. Not being a dessert or gourmand cookie connoisseur, she made my decision super easy by asking what I liked and based my decision on that. The cookies stood the hype! We need more kind and helpful workers like this abroad for sure. Crumbl cookies rock and thank you Miss Emily for your professionalism, kindness, and patience.

“I've never ordered anything that wasn't fresh and fantastic. Love this place ! 🩷“

“I had such a fantastic time getting dessert here today. The staff were super enthusiastic and put on a fun show while mixing my favorite toppings right into the ice cream. It was creamy, perfectly blended, and tasted absolutely delicious. It is the perfect place to treat yourself whenever you have a sweet tooth, and I left feeling really happy with my choice.“

“If you're looking for a sweet escape that’s as fun as it is delicious, Craving the Curls Rolled Ice Cream is the place to be! This boutique dessert shop has quickly become my go-to spot for a treat that's not only unique but also packed with flavor. The rolled ice cream is an absolute showstopper — it’s made fresh right in front of you, and watching the process is almost as satisfying as the taste itself!

What sets Craving the Curls apart is their commitment to using the finest, freshest ingredients. Every flavor I’ve tried has been perfectly balanced and incredibly creamy. Whether you go for a classic favorite or one of their new experimental creations, you can tell they really care about quality. And if you're a milkshake lover or craving something different, they've got you covered with delicious milkshakes and cones.

But it’s not just about the treats — the atmosphere here is everything! The space is vibrant, cozy, and inviting, with a cool, energetic vibe that makes it the perfect place to hang out with friends or family. The new management team has really brought a fresh, exciting energy to the place, and I’m already looking forward to seeing the new menu additions they’ve got planned.

Every time I walk into Craving the Curls, it’s clear that this is a local gem where good times and great ice cream come together. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out—you’ll be hooked after the first bite!“

“Rejoice! The Paducah location now serves Coke products.“

“The food was actually good and fresh. Much Better than some dairy queens I've been to. The service was good also but they are severely understaffed or at least they was while I was there and the line was very long with one register open. However they also realized this and offered me a free ice cream cone for the wait. That was awesome of them. With more employees it would easily be a 5 star service. The atmosphere was exactly what you want to see at a fast food restaurant. The place was crowded and everyone was having a good time even tho the wait was long. When something is good the wait dont matter and no one was walking out. I heard no complaints and employees where nice as can be. I would recommend this DQ thats understaffed and very busy over a empty DQ with no customers and a full staff anytime. A few more employees and its a 5 start fast food restaurant for sure.“

“This is my fave Sonic to go to. The food is always hot and just the way i order it and i always buy two bags of their ice for my house because it’s my fave ice ever. The young girl at the window was super nice and made sure my whole order was correct. Good job with hiring hard working people!!“

“This location has always been above par. Jordan, don't know if he still works there but he is an amazing person. Food was correct, didnt have to wait long and the carhop was very kind. Definitely recommend this location over Hwy 60. They could use some of yalls training and manners!“
