Found this place on Yelp! Glad we did!! The food and the service was great. The decor is fun and bright! The chive-bacon-potato salad was so good. I ordered another helping. The cheddar-jalapeño grits were wonderfully cheesy and just enough heat. The chicken breast with melted pimento cheese on of all things a pretzel buns really worked! And I do not like pretzel buns. The Caribean Dip was flavorful and the roll it was on was perfect for dipping. Great job! read more

Visiting from out of town, we were highly pleased with Flamingo Row! Food was delicious and the atmosphere was positively Key West-ish.

Our waitress was amazing and very friendly!!The Lizard sauce was phenomenal!!The burgers and sweet tea were amazing as well!Great place to eat read more

Boring food that tries too hard and cost too much. Nothing simple and not drowned in seasoning.

This was our first time here. Everything we had was good except for the lemonade. That was far too sweet. We ordered the empanadas and the bamboo stick for apps. The meatloaf and jerk chicken for mains and have two meals left. Can't wait to come back again. read more

Flamingo Row is another local favorite of mine! They have a huge menu selection, and everything I have had there has been amazing! My step mother and I each tried different salads today, and both were very good! The jalapeño cheese grits are really good too! read more

This is our 5th year living in west KY and our 2nd time dining at Flamingo Row. Our first experience (3 years ago) here was NOT good. HOWEVER, today, we decided to give it another shot due to reviews and the fact that the parking lot is always packed. Our first visit gave us badly cooked (frozen) chicken fingers and bad pasta. We are foodies. We can tell when food is fresh and we love nicely seasoned food (not salty).....seasoned. Today, we had the cheesy dip (good, but came out a little less than warm). My husband ordered the Jamaican Jam and it was awesome. He loves Cajun dishes, so this was on point. I ordered the Admiral steak. I wanted it less than medium and heavy seasoning. The steak came out little more than medium and the seasoning could have used some salt in it. Overall, Flamingo Row was redeemed today. The food was good and we will be returning. Prior to leaving we had already decided on what we would try next time we return! Thanks! read more

I love the atmosphere here! Miss the rain forest ruckus pasta though. Great steaks, had the one w/ blue cheese on it. It was just wonderful. Really nice bar area too! read more

Best burger and fry combo anywhere - try the Hullabaloo burger - you just have to do it. Juicy, delicious, hmmmmmmmm. I like mine with lizard sauce ....even better. Love the loaded french fries appetizer. The soup bowls and stuffed sandwiches are unique and delicious. I always enjoy visiting Flamingo Row with friends or my hubby, and we always leave with a doggy bag because the servings are ginormous. The regular sandwiches (ie cuban, chicken, turkey etc.) are just okay and don't reflect the quality of the rest of their food. read more

Hands down the worst service in Paducah and beyond. The last 2 times I took my family in there we ended up walking out because we couldn't get waited on. The food is usually fair but not worth the wait. I will not go back. read more

We enjoyed eating here so much I commented that I definately wanted to come back to try something else from their extensive (and creative) menu....so we did! After two visits, we know that Flamingo Row will be on our list of regular places to eat and recommend when dining in Paducah! From the fun atmosphere, the courteous and knowledgable waiters, and of course Flamingo Joe the iguana, our experience was nothing but positive. Family friendly, good sized portions and reasonably priced, we wish there was a location near where we live in the Bluegrass Region of Ky! read more

Great place to eat, good prices and great food. Especially the jalapeno grits.

The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. Price is a little high on some items but the quality is totally worth it. They have the best french fries ever, and I'm so happy they brought the Parrothead Pork Bites back--little barbecue sliders with toasted buns and a wonderful barbecue sauce. My mom always gets the Hurricane Hot Brown and says it's great, too, though I've never tried it. I eat there as often as I can when I'm in town! I would definitely recommend to a friend. As other reviewers noted, it tends to be a little chilly in there. If you're cold natured, bring a jacket! read more

I've been here many times over the years and the food is always excellent. I usually have a Monte Cristo which is a stuffed bread filled with cheese ham and turkey and dusted with powdered sugar and served with your choice of side and raspberry jam. If you get this use the jam, it really makes the dish. I gave four rather than five stars because the service is not always so great. Don't plan on being in and out of this place. Go when you have plenty of time to enjoy the atmosphere and decor. read more

A MUST if you're ever visiting Paducah. In my (local) opinion, it's one of our best restaurants! You have to try the fillymingo stuffed bread sandwiches, or the Wave appeteaser! If the parking lot is packed, service will be slow - fair warning! But it's well worth the wait! read more

So awesome! My favorites are the beach ball salad but order it with the Pina colada yogurt dressing, the pulled pork sliders on the teazors menu, and the Monte Cristo sandwich on the fillymingo menu. read more

Best restaurant in the world. Some of my favorites plates include 3cheese fillymingo, bamboo stick, Sante fe potatoes, potato salad, carumba roni, and the French dip. You won't regret eating here. Everything always comes out perfectly and it's priced well. read more

I have never had anything I didn't like here. The meatloaf is amazing! The wave is a favorite. It's always hard to decide what to order because it's ALL good! read more

I really thought I was in the Caribbean or was it mediterranean ? Or maybe the jalapeno mayo went straight to my head and I can't remember the whole dining experience.....2 stars! read more

Escape to the Caribbean when you enter the doors of Flamingo Row. The beachy atmosphere and the upbeat music made us forget that we were talking about business during our working lunch. Everyone ordered something different and we were all pleasantly pleased. So pleased, in fact, that we went back the next night for dinner. read more

Today was my first experience at Flamingo Row. Me and my wife solely went off of some of these wonderful yelp reviews in order to choose our lunch for the day, and Yelp did not fail us the slightest. First, and foremost, the most important part of a meal should be the food, and Flamingo Row did not fail one bit in this particular department. Second, one must consider the surrounding while dining. In my personal opinion, this surrounding achieves exactly what it is setting out to do. Now, with that being said, another important part of any dining experience is the service. Today, this is the only spot the restaurant failed me. I did not receive any refills till the end of the meal. Usually, I would not be so concerned with water or refills for that matter because they drown out important flavors. However, my food in particular was on the hotter side, and warranted at least one refill. All and all a good experience though. I would recommend to anyone. read more

Flamingo Row - American Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

The category for this restaurant says "Traditional American", however, the fare is Tropical Pacific, with a heavy emphasis on Polynesian entrees. Sandwiches abound, and there are plenty of meals which feature vegan ingredients. The ambiance is a little over-the-top, with fake trees and a lot of horizontally hung draperies, all in typical Polynesian colors. It's a nice place for a quick date, or an unusual ambiance lunch or dinner getaway. Prices are fair, and portions are adequate for most diners. All-in-all, I would visit Flamingo Row about once a month for a change of pace. read more

This place is amazing. A little expensive but we'll worth it. I recommend the coco pollo and the tiki torches

Flamingo Row had a "C" health grade while I ate there :( that should have said it all. The urgent reason why im writing this review is because I just about threw up while eating there it was horrible!! This place is extremely expensive and overpriced. When I got there my burger it was extremely crispy and my french fries were very soggy filled with grease. The decorations were extremely tacky and cheap. Its was a horrible experience just because of the food alone not to mention the rude young lady that waited us. Consumer beware! Try Texas Roadhouse or somewhere downtown is my recomendation. read more

I am 46 years old and I have never felt so cheated eating than I did just now eating at Flamingo Row in Paducah, KY. Flamingo Row in Paducah KY is a complete rip off. There is nothing about this place that is Caribean style. The owner of this establishment must consider the people of this town dumb if they think the cheap decorations and cheesy paintings will fool anyone. My so called meal cost an arm and a leg and I feel like all I recieved was some low grade caffeteria food with poor service. FYI I ordered what the server called a stuffed style bread and it tasted like it was days old I could not finish it. The kitchen was more loud and crude than the food. Nothing classy about this place. read more

Great Caribbean restaurant! We had the Beach Ball Salad, the Baja Bash, and Pina Colada Cake. The coconut- lime rice that came with the Baja Bash was unique and fresh. Great fried chicken with the salad. The cake was moist and flavorful. Great decorations. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Great food for everyone. Tons of options to choose from. Anything from the basics (burger, chicken strips, etc) to meatloaf with banana cooked inside. No matter what you get you'll leave happy. read more

Who would expect to find a piece of Paradise in Paducah, KY. We searched out this place because of its intriguing name. Didn't know what We'd find. We found a gem. It was evident from the moment we entered. This place is a labor of love. No commercial decorating here. Everything was done by hand and it's COOL. Also very clean. The drink menu is influenced by the tropics. Each had a special name. We had the Mai Tai equivalent served in a tall glass and reasonably priced. The menu is extensive with many unique flavors to compliment the dishes. All the sauces appear to be made on site. The Coco Loco Pollo was a coconut fried chicken breast sandwich served on a bun with lettuce and a dish of Pina Colada yogurt dressing. It was awesome! The sandwich was served with a generous portion of frys. There is a selection of "stuffed" sandwiches. These sandwiches are called "Fillymingo's". They are basically small loaves of bread with the filling baked in. We tried the Sausage, Ham, Pepperoni & Provolone combo. It was a great sandwich served with a side of fresh marinara sauce for dipping. The staff was most accommodating. The owner even stopped by for a great conversation. She was really a wonderful person committed to providing unique, fresh and exciting food items. read more

Great food, but temperature inside was too cold to enjoy it. I've ate here numerous times and it is always soooo cold.

Awesome food. Are here about 5 years ago and happen to be passing thru again and asked if it was still open. Fun, casual place and some really original entrees. We will be stopping back on our way thru again!! Excellent!! read more

Great food and service. We (7 women) were in Paducah for a week long quilting retreat and a few stopped in for lunch. We were so pleased with the food that we told the others, and the next night we returned for dinner and drinks. Again, the food was great and the service was excellent. Crash (not a typo) was the best server I have encountered in a while. read more

We stopped here based on prior reviews and were not disappointed. It's off the main drag so you miss all the other highway/business traffic. The place was bright and festive and the wait staff was great. We were a party of 6 and everything we tried was excellent. Would love to stop again on our next trip through Paducah! read more

We went to Flamingo Row while vacationing in this area. I was initially drawn in by the concept of Caribbean food because I love trying food from other cultures. The atmosphere was pleasant albeit a bit touristy. The staff were very friendly and inviting. The menu was jam-packed with unique dishes that were thematic and fun to read. I wanted to be disappointed because it was not authentic Caribbean cuisine, but every single delicious bite of food removed any hint of disappointment. The restraint successfully took classic American dishes and injected simple and effective modifications to make it feel Caribbean. I had Mahi Fish Tacos that were described as seasoned Jerk fish with other toppings and I couldn't detect any chilies or cinnamon in the seasoning, but between the excellent seer on the fish, the remarkably fresh avocado, the perfect bit of heat from the red onions, and a warm toasty tortilla, I couldn't force myself to be disappointed in the idea that the seasoning wasn't truly Jerk seasoning. The side that came with this dish was "Cilantro Rice" which i was surprised to have a very satisfying Coconut flavor added as well. I could have eaten an entire meal based on this side, it was so good. The rest of my family's dishes were amazing as well, wowing us for all the right reasons. Even the fries were phenomenal, not even in need of sauce, but why wouldn't you dip it in their seemingly hand crafted sauces? Both the ranch and the honey mustard were so amazing that we even asked for an extra small cup of the ranch to go just so we could taste it one more time. Even the kids chicken had a slight twist with breading having a hint of coconut flavor. They successfully transformed the intentionally bland and boring kids option into a masterpiece of unique and fulfilling flavor. Despite this twist that could make it appealing to an adult however, it was not such an extreme change that my finicky four year old minded it. He ate it and had leftovers due to the generous portion. If I am ever in this area again, you better believe I am visiting Flamingo Row again! read more

The food is always fresh, hot and flavorful. The atmosphere is amazing. I feel like I'm back in Florida. Waiter was great. Didn't hover but seemed to be there with refills quickly. read more

I used to love this place but today I walked in and heard a crunch sound like I stepped on a peanut shell but when I looked down there was a squished cockroach on my shoe. I stopped in my tracks then politely turned directly around and walked out. I live in Paducah and I have heard the roaches are bad at this place but I didnt want to believe it and now I know they are for a fact. OMG, Disgusting! Enjoy your meal folks :/ Im going to the new Mellow Mushroom by the old flamingo row location ( when it used to be a good place to eat) if I can muster up an appetite. read more

Always have great food that is unique. I always take people from out of town to get a real taste of Paducah's unique restaraunts instead of visiting the restaurant chains that they can eat at anywhere. read more

Wonderful food great service! Will return when up from Nashville. Waitress was helpful with selection of foods and very kind.

I've eaten here many times and usually the food and service are good, but not great. On this night I sat in the bar and waited and waited for the barmaid to acknowledge me. She finally offered me a drink and then 10 more minutes passed before she offered me a menu. "I have this big table I had to finish." Please, dear, that's not my problem. Thus begins the theme to this girl's excuses on why she can't handle her assigned duties. I waited another 30 minutes for my food, which then tasted like it had been under a sunlamp for 20 of those minutes. Getting my check was another 10-15 minute wait. No thanks. read more

Had the Caribbean Dip tonight with the Potato Salad. Sandwich was not up to par and the side tasted like it was left open in the refrigerator next to some raw salmon. This has happened three times now and always offered a different side though. It was replaced with the pasta salad that was drowning in mayonnaise. NOT the usual experience here. The waitress that has been there for years was very snippy and short with me and my daughter. Will give this a rest and the restaurant for quite a while. read more

My family and I go here often and have for years which is why this review pains me to write. Last night my husband and I ordered carry out around 7 pm. We received our food around 8 and I ordered my usual sunset pier and thought it was fine until I got to the sandwich. My first bite was a strong chargrilled taste so at first I thought nothing of it except maybe they started changing the way they cook their chicken until I took my second and final bite. The chicken was covered with cheese and a weird bubble on top which I assumed was avocado until I bit into it and got a powerful mouthful of propane/grill cleaner flavor. Strong enough that it was burning my throat and had my husband try as well and it did the same to him. He immediately drove it back to the restaurant to show them and arrived 10 minutes before they were supposed to close and the doors were already locked. Thankfully he called and the night manager let him in, my husband explained what happened and they refunded him and said they didn't know what happened but that they would tell the owners in the morning, if they even did who knows. Something like this could've been a very dangerous situation and we could've been poisoned. Out of all the years we have been here we have never had an issue until now which is why I'm giving the 2 stars instead of 1. We won't be back. read more
