30 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Paducah

“Exceptional customer service from a young man named Brandon working in the drive thru the other night. Had on a smile and positive attitude to match.“

“Love this place. and love how they use their freedom of speech to people who only feel freedom of speech applies to ones who worship Pres. Dump. will go here again“

“Super nice employees. Fast too

Went again and as always fresh food friendly people. Thank you so much!
Back again, still the best service even when it's getting the lunch rush. 4 people holding it all together in a tight space.“

“My daughter and I stopped in for lunch yesterday… Best tacos I’ve ever had in my entire life! We will definitely be back!“

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

“Ok, the girl who took my order this evening (I didn't get her name) was, by far, the nicest, most professional, fast food worker I have encountered in a long, long time. Everyone who works in a fast food restaurant could, and should, take some lessons from her. Service with a smile... She made my day... DQ - you need to give her a raise!“

“Thursday evening, October 6, 2022, I waited 15 minutes for my order. It was a little busy, but the employees were more playing around or goofing off, rather than working to get the orders done.“

“Matt was super cheerful, everyone we saw working had a smile on their face. They got the order right and the food was GOOD! Place is clean, bathrooms are clean, this place has GOT IT GOIN ON!!! Keep it up everyone, I know Dave would be proud of yall!“

“Usually when we go to Paducah's Southside location, it is a very long wait and the customer service is not the greatest. However tonight, it was top notch. We had three different to-go orders. The young man behind the counter was very friendly and very professional. Both inside and drive through was pretty steady while we were there but the workers stayed efficient, friendly and professional. We did not have a very long wait even with the three orders. If they keep this young man, we will definitely be going back.“

“Brought my family in as we were driving through, and had fantastic service from the woman running around doing everything, who I assume is the manager. She was great, helped with water, got us napkins, etc...just wonderful and beyond what one finds most of the time anymore. Thank you!“

“Great service, very hospitable, would stop in again on my travels through“

“I want breakfast all day. Does any Hardee’s have that“

“just ordered 4 for $10 classic roast beefs at counter. Posters up everywhere The kid rang them up for $18.xx. I asked what happened to 4 for $10. the kid said I had to ask for them. ?????? Hello! I just ordered 4 Classic roast beefs! Anyway I had to pull a Karen to get manager to redo it. the kid was just being super orrrnnerryyy!!! Roat beef was good anyway, just avoid stupid kid employees if possible.“

“Sweetest girl behind the counter, I would give her five stars came in to get my order that I placed online. The sirens were going off. She had a 30 pizza order before all of ours and she just kept apologizing and she was so nice and I think you should recognize her for her kindness and excellent customer service. 5/16/25 And my pizza was delicious 👍🏻“

“Arby’s delivers tasty sandwiches with plenty of variety beyond the usual fast food. The roast beef is always tender, and I enjoy their curly fries and mozzarella sticks. Staff were friendly and the dining area was clean. Service was a little slow during the dinner rush, but overall it was a solid experience and a place I’ll return to.“

“Taco John's is always a favorite. Great food, great service. I wasnt sure about the automated ordering menu when going thru the drive-thru but it actually was accurate i like that it read my order back to me. It was a little delayed when I got done ordering and it was reading my order back to me.“

“I travel a lot and have ate at several QDobas across the country, this one stuck out for me, the restaurant was clean, the staff were helpful and courteous, the food was fresh and even had chicken cooking on the grill in plain sight. Very cool to see the food we’re eating being cooked. Kudos to the staff and management of this place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Always great sandwiches! But tonight was not their best night. No greeting when I arrived (I was the only customer). Seemed like an inconvenience to wait on me. Meat was skimpy on sandwich and my wife's salad. Not fully cut up. Very slow preparing the food, long wait. Decent, but not great.“

“McDonald's occupies a unique and complex space in the global dining landscape. It's an international behemoth whose primary offering is unmatched convenience and speed, but the overall experience is often a mixed bag, defined by both its iconic consistency and frustrating inconsistencies.“

“The burgers are good. I like the option of tots or fries. I always choose tots!
The footlong coney is not good. I do not like the cheese spread they put on it. It's like Cheese Wiz. Took one bite and I was done. Went straight into the trash.
I love a good footlong Coney. Unfortunately, Sonic needs to up their game if it stays on the menu.
Overall it is a very good fast food restaurant.“

“I'm a HUGE fan to Taco John's and will not pass one by. Seriously. I've driven across 3 lanes of traffic with no warning to get to Taco Johns.

We stopped at this Taco John's when in Paducah for a weekend. It was a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all, so we were the only customers.

We stood in the lobby for a few minutes before we were greeted and it was the manager who came up because the employees we could see were busy not paying us any attention. She took our orders and we talked for a minute and told us that they're collecting to help rebuild a church (church?) that was damaged in a recent tornado by rounding up our payment. I was intrigued by one of the local specials (a chicken ranch burrito, as I recall), so that's what I ordered, but with chips and cheese. Yes, Taco John's is known for their Potato Olés (ok, tots), but I prefer chips and cheese. Largely because if I have some Potato Olés I want to have MORE Potato Olés.

The dining room was very clean and I was digging the overhead music (80s and 90s). The drink station could have used some attention.

Our food deliver was about 8 minutes, and it was hot and accurate.

I wasn't crazy about the ranch chicken burrito, to be honest. America's never-ending fascination with ranch dressing is crazy and I don't really get it, but I like it when well placed and the right quantity. This was a little too much ranch for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll stick with my regular Taco Bravo.

Add this to the list of Taco John's that I've visited! My search continues.“

“This place is so freindly“

“The last 3 times I've stopped in for a quick meal I make simple requests such as no pickles and sometimes extra cheese depending on the mood and a sweet tea. Pretty simple I thought. I was wrong completely 4 attempts with the end result being a sandwich I did not order so In my opinion order what you want just don't expect it...go hungry enough to eat what they give you has been my experience“

“All around great place! Wonderful staff, excellent food and great deals“

“Grilled cheese burger, cheese curds, patty melt & onion rings! Off-the-wall desserts!“

“Fresh and hot good deals on app“

“Rarely, do I enjoy a fast food meal as much as I did this one. The chicken was crunchy yet moist and the dipping sauce was excellent. The service was great, fast and polite. All the workers seemed happy. My son and I were out doing errands and decided to try Zaxbys. We will definitely be back and would recommend to friends.“

“Food was the usual, how its suppose to be.
The service was SPECTACULAR! THEY NEED A 10 STAR OPTION!
I fortunately had the pleasure of being in the comfort of our own vechule. So 10 outta 10 on automosphere too.

“I'm originally from Chicago but live out in the northwest suburbs now. The S&S locations I've been to, locals... are so sad. Employees even seem to want to work there. But THIS location reminded me what steak & shake stands by and what they were all about. You want some steak & shake nostalgia... this is a good spot if you're heading that direction“

“The Southside Paducah Papa Johns is the best. I called in an order, the Employee on the phone was great, repeated my order back to me, suggested other items, and just seemed to care about doing her job correctly. My Pizza was delivered on time, Hot, Accurate and actually looked as good as the picture.“
