We were able to seat ourselves and chose a table in the dining room. The restaurant has a Southern down home vibe and there is a gift shop for travelers. We were greeted quickly and received attentive service throughout the meal. Our drink and food order was taken timely and the food did not take very long to prepare. We all ordered Patty's choice that comes with bacon, sausage or ham, 2 eggs, biscuit or toast & gravy. I got my eggs over easy with the biscuits and gravy. Other people in my party got their eggs scrambled and over hard. I enjoyed my eggs and bacon. The biscuits were made from scratch but were a little hard for my taste. Over all had a good breakfast dining experience on the road. I felt like the breakfast options were a bit limited on the menu but I feel they did achieve their goal of a meal that feels like home.

C found it on Yelp and suggested it for lunch after a visit with Mom. Arrived at like 2:20 on a Saturday and it's packed... Like, almost completely full! Good sign. It's homey/country/redneck/slapped together with duct tape and epoxy looking inside. My kind of place! Seat yourself, choose a table out in the middle no one was at, and got the run down by our pre-server. If you don't know, that's the person that could wait on you but won't because of some dumb arbitrary system they have in place. I digress... We get our bevs, pre-server reminds us again she is not the one and leaves. Real server shows and we order. Had the crispy hot wings for an app. Five wings for $5.99. They are undoubtably the Foster Farms wings from the freezer section. That's ok though, I like them. I post about them from Costco. C ordered Sloppy Joes. Server says they out, so she orders a bacon cheeseburger with tots instead. I ordered Catfish with a baker, white beans, and hush puppies. Now C warned me that the catfish looked "too white".... I didn't pick up on this meaning like "honky white", instead of undercooked or lightly battered. She explained this later in the car. I understood then, and she was dead on! Food was meh all around . All factory formed and breaded proteins. Catfish was overcooked to the point to being dry and stringy inside. Cold beans. Cold hushes. Old ass potato. I tried C's tator tots, cold too. Here is why they get four.... The following seems to be a thing here, as I have read the same comment now, multiple times, in others reviews. Right after we ordered, some stranger walks up, looks at us, pulls out a chair, sits down, and asks if she can eat with us. What do you say but yes???!!! She gets her BLT in 5 mins. Ours takes like 25.... I swear this place sets this up! We sit and watch her eat while she spits bits of food at us while sharing the last decade or so of her life. The next 40 minutes are wild. Her name was Gail. I know more about Gail than I ever wanted to know about anyone outside of my family now. She didn't stop talking the entire time. I won't bore you with all of the details of Gail's life. She can do that if you come. She said she used to come there every day but had to slow down because of her "sugar". You should totally ask if Gail is there, I swear you will feel so much better about your situation if you break bread with her. My wife zoned out completely and left me all alone to deal with Gail on my own. Empathy is not my strongest attribute. I pulled it off though. We wanted pie, but C was unnerved by the verbal assault that was occurring, she paid for the table and headed outside. People are strange creatures man.... Sometimes I swear this is just a simulation. Checked this one off the list. If I am ever bored and in need of a strangers companionship, you'll find me here I suppose. '25 - 2/111

Set your phone down and you'll struggle to pick it back up and your elbows stick if you rest your arms on the table. But, like I said above the prime rib is absolutely fantastic. Probably been there fifteen times this year just for the prime rib and twice it's been a bad experience. Once for no prime rib available which they state in the fine print on their menu as not always available and once for it came out raw instead of medium. The salads are good and they have blue cheese dressing. The baked potatoes are good. As you can see we go for the prime rib cause it's the only place in town, and it's great. I'll be back despite the poor review for the.......(you guessed it) prime rib!!!!

First off: they have a very welcoming staff. The Cashier was very helpful and made good recommendations. I was surprised at the amount of choices on the menu. Taters, sandwiches, flatbreads, wraps, soups, salads. Took us a while to decide. :) I chose to try the Cheeseburger Tater, which was just as the cashier said, very good! The crumbled burger meat on it was quality meat and very well seasoned and the "burger sauce" (I'm guessing a mix of mayo & ketchup) really made it a treat. If the shredded cheese was melted a bit more it would have been perfect but that's just nit picking. Really enjoyed that recommendation. The wife had the grilled chicken wrap with honey mustard in spinach tortilla. She also thought it was very good. (They offer a choice of four tortillas: Flour, Spinach, Jalapeño, and Tomato-Basil. This isn't listed on the menu, that we saw.) The side of potato soup was the only disappointment. Strange taste that neither of us liked. For dessert we tried 3 cookies: Chocolate Chip (tasty), Peanut Butter (average), and Snickerdoodle (excellent!) All-in-all a very good experience and we will be back to try more.

I'm finally having a chance to review our visits to Freight House back in November!…read more My husband and I took a little trip to Paducah, and the main reason we chose this location for our vacation was Sara Bradley's restaurant Freight House. We both are fans of "Top Chef" and since her restaurant is within reasonable distance of home, we planned a trip around it. In fact, we made reservations for two nights in a row, to take in as much of the menu as possible! Between the two different days, we tried a number of appetizers, entrees and desserts. If I were to do this again the same way, I would do one day of apps and dessert and one day of entrees, just to spread things out a bit. What we ate: - Fall pickles: I enjoyed this, with the bit of chili heat, especially the cauliflower - Stuffed Mushrooms: I love mushrooms, and these blended creamy, sweet and hot with a filling of cream cheese, berry BBQ sauce and smoked jalapeno - Pistachio and herb chevre cheeseball: a fresh cheese enhanced by nutty and Herby notes - Smoked bologna: my husband's choice; very meaty and there was a lot of it - Spicy beer cheese spread: a very Midwestern feeling appetizer with tasty veggies and crackers Entrees: -Shrimp and grits: my choice: comforting southern food with lots of flavor - Duck fried rice: his choice: rich rice offset by more delicate vegetables - Sticky ribs: my choice: the pumpkin spice and coffee liqueur glaze worked well for a cozy, wintry meal - Braised pork shoulder: his choice; served with beans and cornbread, this was another hearty, comforting meal with a Southern twist. Desserts: - Winter creme brulee: this was my favorite, flavored with mulling spices, orange and pomegranate We also enjoyed a seasonal sorbet and the fall spice cake. We had the same server both nights, Elizabeth, who was good at making recommendations, and also staggering the small plates on our small table so we wouldn't be overloaded. Chef Sara was in house the second night, bringing dishes to tables. The setting is relaxed, not overly loud, with moody lighting. Overall, we would certainly return to Freight House!
