Really great spot. Cute patio and nice open dining room inside. Lots of great choices on the menu and each week they have a new special. The first time I came here they were out of the special so I think they just make a certain amount and when it's gone it's gone. It was some tortellini that looked amazing so I'm not surprised it sold out. I went with the cheeseburger sliders and did a side of the veggies. The sliders were good. I think they forgot the cheese sauce. Or they just barely put any on. I didn't see it taste it. But they were still good and the veggies were very delicious too. I had some left over and mixed them with my eggs the next morning. The second, and most recent time I was here, they had a chicken pecorino with rice and veggies. The chicken was absolute perfection. Perfectly crispy and moist inside. It was easily cut with the plastic knife I had. The rice was just over the line or too salty but when mixed with the chicken and veggies it all worked. It was a delicious meal. The food comes out pretty quickly, especially if you get the special since it's sitting up front on the line. I don't live nearby so don't get to come here as often as I'd like but I definitely want to try more of their specials. So much of what they post looks amazing. I love that the students are learning and we benefit! read more

Very friendly staff. Food was delicious. I had the Nashville hot chicken. It had great but wasn't overwhelmingly spicy. My sister had the Hot Ham & Brie. It was delicious. Lovely local restaurant. read more

Come here often for lunch. Everything is made fresh and you can tell the people there really care about what they offer to customers. The food is priced fair and reasonable. An underrated spot in Paducah read more

This is a place that only locals know about. It has the BEST foods but the amounts are limited so get there early. This week the specials are Nana's meatloaf ($5.00) Garlic mashed potatoes ($2.00) Green beans ($2.00) Cheddar Biscuit ($1.00) . There was also chicken strips and French fries. They have a regular menu but getting the special is really worth it! This cafe is very spacious and they have an outside patio. The prices are are so very reasonable and I personally think the serving sizes are large. This restaurant never disappoints! read more

Okay, I admittedly have been going to the Paducah School of Art and Design ALL semester and had no idea that this little gem was connected to it! I usually bring my own lunch, but forgot mine on Thursday and realized everyone had these little brown boxes full of yummy lunch. I asked my instructor where they were getting it from and he showed me the way to Kitchens! First off, WOW. SO GOOD. You walk in and make your choice off a chalkboard menu. They offer plenty of yummy options, a daily special, and vegetarian/vegan options, too! The service is great, everyone is so sweet and willing to chat. I ordered the turkey wrap with the pasta salad. I had to wait a little bit for my food, but it was very busy--and it was wildly worth it. You can sit inside the restaurant, outside on the patio, or take your lunch to go! I opted to sit outside on the pretty patio. On to the good stuff. The turkey wrap was delicious. I loved that the turkey itself is sliced very thin, like falling apart. I'm very picky about deli meats and this was prefect! The sauce on the wrap is different, but completely ties the turkey and fresh ingredients together for sort of an addicting punch! The pasta salad is one I've never had before. It's a tomato based pasta salad with yummy feta cheese, fresh tomatoes, and sliced green olives! A must try, for sure! I got to eat on this twice, the portions are wildly worth the price! Overall, I really enjoyed this yummy, friendly, well-priced, well-hidden gem here in Paducah, Kentucky's Art District. I would highly recommend to any locals looking for a fresh bite and to any out-of-towner looking to find out what Paducah is really all about! read more

Wow is all I can say. My family and I went there for lunch and we enjoyed every bit of it. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was clean and definitely worth the "A" rating they received and service was top notch. We have found our new go-to place for dining. James read more

Last day of travel so wanted to try something off the beaten path, and this certainly fit the bill. Would never have found it without yelp Different menu, fore sure Jim started with deviled eggs, said very tasty with bits of celery and sweet peppers, not your plain standard deviled eggs. I had the Cubano sandwich. Warm hickory smoked ham, house smoked pulled pork, Swiss cheese. Side of potato salad. Husband had the boiler room sliders with fries.The pulled pork in the Cubano was a little dry, but otherwise the sandwich was very good. The sliders came on homemade buns, were hot and tasty. The fries had some kind of seasoning that had a kick, to me the best part of the meal. All in all, very good. read more

My husband wanted to go to this place for lunch. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken. Big mistake. Skimpy on the fries... they were soggy and cold. The chicken was lukewarm and left a lot to be desired. The stale piece of toast under the chicken that soaked up all of the nasty grease from the chicken was the icing on the cake. No plans to try this place again any time soon. read more

Yes! It's good to see this place on Yelp! Good for Kitchens, good for Yelp, good for Paducah. I know the phrase "hidden gem" gets thrown around a lot, but I'm going to throw it again. You'd better duck. This is a lunch spot at the Paducah School of Art & Design. They have an assortment of sandwiches and a weekly special. The day that I went it was pretty busy and nearly full, but no wait for my meal because I got the weekly special. I had a pork loin with a barbecue-ish sauce they called "Queen City Sauce". It was good, not amazing. The side however, Charred Veggie Rice, was outstanding! Seriously. Great texture, a rich flavor, but not too heavy...it still felt like a side dish. Man, it was phenomenal. The pork, rice, and a drink was around $7, so that's fair. Great decor, as the entire school is in a renovated warehouse. There's a cute courtyard, but that will have to wait for warmer weather. Most of Paducah's best restaurants are only open for supper, so if you want a great lunch: here it is. read more

Paducah is trying to come up on the food scene. With places like Artisan Kitchen, The Frieght House and Kitchen's Cafe it is beginning. Typically you can only go out to the corporate run restaurants and Americanized ethnic places. There are also a few family run places here and there. Kitchen's Cafe is a place to go while in the Paducah area. My Hot Ham and Brie had a very tasty strawberry/Habanero jam on it. We will be back. read more

YELP did not steer us wrong. We love finding great little local restaurants while on a road trip. Kitchens Cafe is a small local cafe with an industrial feel and outstanding, fresh-made food. We enjoyed the pork sliders with dill potato salad, creamy tomato soup, pimento deviled eggs, and soft yummy cookies for dessert. Well worth the time off the highway to this delightful cafe. Our maps app took us to a nearby parking lot behind the cafe, so don't give up if you don't see the door right away. read more

This is a hidden gem in Paducah. I found it thanks to friends letting me in on their secret. All of the food here is professionally prepared and it shows! I am a huge fan of the BBQ sliders,potato salad and last but not least the BBQ nachos! Kitchens Cafe also has a decent desert selection. They typically have weekly/daily specials. Their hours are limited so make sure to check that out before you trek over. You won't find food of this quality for such a low price anywhere else in Paducah. This is definitely one of my favorite lunch spots and it's located in the lower town arts district . The seating is ample and they do have some nice outdoor seating. If you're downtown for lunch and looking for great food at an awesome price, check Kitchens Cafe out. read more

First time on kitchens cafe and boommm ! right on the money. Ordered for a Chicken Cordon Bleu with a Dijon Cream Sauce and Pepperjack Scalloped Potatoes. Nothing to say but awesome !! service is as good as test. Great !!! read more

So glad we found this spot! It's attached to the art school and it is such a gem. Also, that outdoor seating area would make a GREAT rehearsal dinner spot - so beautiful! Laid back, nothing fancy, but good food crafted with care. Wish they had a bit more options for our kiddo (like having milk or small portions/sides), coffee/tea, and didn't have to pay for water, but really, guys, this is something special. read more

I am in town for work and this was a great find! I travel a lot, and therefore, eat out a lot. Charm, decent price and great food are hard to come by in most towns. Kitchen's Cafe had all three! I had the BBQ nachos with homemade chips, fresh tomatoes, pickled jalapeños and a delightful cheese sauce. It was very reasonable and clean. I thought there were great choices even though was a small menu. I will definitely go here again on my next trip! read more
