I'll give them 4.75 stars, but they did fantastic so I'll round up for this place. First, we walk in the door and Zack walked past and complimented the boss on her snazzy shirt and a few other staff were friendly too so the vibe was nice to start off. We were then led to our table to discover Zack is our server for the night. Another compliment on the bosses glasses, okay she did look great - Thanks Zack! Drinks come out super fast and we get our food ordered. Zack was great helping with Alpha Gal and later following up with the kitchen staff that they had in fact not put butter on my fish - another win. I ordered the red fish special (I think) with a baked potato and the boss got the Harris Platter. Zack recommended blackened and was so right, delicious! I tried her fired catfish and that was delicious too, but would have dipped it in hot sauce, but the cocktail sauce was so yummy with a nice horseradish bite - delicious and maybe better than hot sauce (slander I know). That 0.25 off - well the hushpuppies were kinda gross and bland. This is the south so quality hushpuppies are a must. Ask for Zack, you will not be dissapointed.

My friend and I were in Paducah shopping and decided to have dinner at Stricklands. It was a…read morebeautiful afternoon so we sat outside. The waitress was very kind and helpful. We ordered drinks. I ordered a double Basil Hayden sour and my friend Tanqueray and tonic. We had shrimp, crab cakes, mahi and Ahi. All were delicious. Half way through the meal we ordered another drink. When the check came my 2 drinks were $56. $28 each. I understand that a double is 2ce the price as a single but in a place where 95% of the menu items are $20ish or less and the restaurant is NOT high end one would not expect to pay this much for a drink. If you are going to charge above average prices they should be disclosed. No prices are on the menu.

We went for dinner and got the lunch menu as they are one and the same. Had a buffet option of…read morefrozen fried foods, stuffed peppers that could have been mistaken for meatballs drowning in tomato sauce. String beans were swimming in bacon fat with fatty chunks. Another option was the soup and salad bar. White bean soup was like wallpaper paste. Broccoli soup was just as pasty but green. Neither had any flavor. Salad bar had bare minimals. Soup bowls were either a tiny butter dish or a ramekin. When I asked for a soup bowl the waitress pointed to my 2 choices. We shared a club sandwich which was ok. Went for breakfast the next day because the nearest town is 20 minutes away. Breakfast buffet was poor so we ordered off the menu. My traditional breakfast was fair. Ham steak was the highlight of my meal. Never got the potatoes that came with my plate. Also a first for me. Got the heal or end of the bread. Whole place is closed next year for major renovations. Should have closed sooner. Dining room overlooks the lake. Too bad the outside desk wasn't open.

Seafood night is just okay, but we wouldn't come back for it. Typical salad bar, dessert table with rotating pie/cake/ banana pudding (hot) & Vanilla soft serve machine. The staff is friendly.

Nice catfish fillets with light batter and cooked perfectly. Both Cole slaws were very good. White beans were great and hush puppies very good.

Great homey place and we will be back this weekend.

We have enjoyed coming to this restaurant this summer but something changed in August. We loved…read morethe catfish sandwich so much that we bragged it up to friends. Unfortunately we put our foot in our month when we took 2 other couples with us. 3 of us ordered the catfish sandwich but the fish was minimal. Usually the sandwich has so much fish you take some home. Sadly there was more bun than fish. Two of our friends that ordered the fish sandwich are big men. I felt so bad recommending the fish sandwich that I had to apologize to them. Please do not skimp on the fish. We hadn't gone there in a while since the fish sandwich episode but stopped again before the end of summer this time for lunch. My husband & I ordered the pizza this time which is always good. First they were out of the beer my husband ordered, then we waited 50 min for our pizza. I felt sorry for the waitress who stopped by our table to apologize. When she stopped a second time, we asked what was the problem. The waitress said they didn't have green peppers for the sausage & green pepper pizza we ordered so someone went to the store to buy it. We said someone could have told us & we would have switched to mushrooms. She said we didn't have mushrooms either. We laughed & said you have a veggie pizza on the menu. ?!? It was a Friday afternoon with several weekends left in the summer. Why would you not be stocked up?! When she delivered the pizza she said they now had the original beer my husband asked for first. Wth!!! The kicker was when we went to pay with a $100 bill but they had no change. Not a good way for a business to start a weekend! Crazy! We hope next year will be better!

All of the items we previously enjoyed have been removed. We loved the Buzzard dilla and the taco bowl. Both are no longer available. The remaining items leave much to be desired.
