I had one scant piece of crawfish, 3 baby shrimps and 1 tiny piece of sausage. My plate looked untouched. The waitress took forever to take our order, she didn't check on us after we got our food and then came and asked if we wanted more of something that looked untouched!! ‍. Then offered us dessert. She never ask why I didn't eat the plate of saucy rice and didn't even ask if I wanted to take the practically untouched food home. When I saw she wasn't concerned I did ask for a to -go box because by George, I'm at least going to get some saucy rice for $11.99. Ridiculous!!

We arrived an hour before closing on a Saturday night and we were surprised there were no other patrons. The decor is seafood forward and pretty busy, but it fits the theme well. My kiddo has sensory issues and she had to wear her noise cancelling headphones due to loud music. Our server was so nice and kept our drinks full the whole visit. The menu has many seafood options, as well as some other favorites. We ordered the wing dinner with bacon ranch fries, cowboy steak and grilled shrimp with fries, and the grilled mahi mahi tacos with coleslaw. All our food was amazing! The food was hot, fresh, and seasoned very well! We all agreed it will be worth a return trip to try more of their options.

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 started off with the lightly steamed oysters and it was really good. It came out with a sauce on top of it and I liked it a lot. We pretty much picked the seafood we wanted in our boil bag, picked the flavor, and the spice level. I tried the medium heat level with the juicy special seasoning. It wasn't too spicy and I felt the spice level was just perfect for me. The seasoning was also pretty good. It was pretty well seasoned and they didn't overdue it with the seasoning. The seafood was cooked perfectly. It wasn't overcooked or anything like that. In all, I had a pretty good experience and will probably be back if I'm ever in the area.

We ordered a dozen of oysters, crawfish, snow crabs, clams, and cajun fries. The oysters were very small, so they gave as 14 instead. We also tried 3 different seasonings off of the menu: cajun, lemon pepper, and signature Pier 17 seasoning. You can mix the flavors with different seafood you order. Surprisingly, the best one was lemon pepper, and the other two tasted awful! It was not the cajun I know, rather it was very blend and very greasy. I would not pay this price for the quality of seafood I got. Their service was really awesome though, we got seated very quickly. Our waitress always checked on us to see if we need anything else. She was quick and patient with our needs. However, I would not come back for food.

Prolly 4/5 minutes in reality. When you're waiting to eat your food it feels like forever lol. It was a late Sunday afternoon and not busy either. The food was good but nothing worth what we paid! $145 w-tip plus some astronomical service fee for using a card instead of cash. If you want the luxury of accepting cards, you should be responsible for the fees. I'm over going places that charge me just to pay them. Either be a cash only establishment or don't charge fees for using cards! Bloody Mary was fire though! Atmosphere is cute and aesthetically pleasing but just really not worth the price. I think this might be one of the most overrated restaurants in the area. But there's not many seafood choices so I guess do with this review what you will! Be warned slow service and take cash.

We've tried the steaks (tender and flavorful), sandwiches (yum! -- the cheesesteak seems packed with flavor and the grilled chicken is tender and juicy), fish and chips (not over-cooked -- lightly battered), and salads (fresh). Save -- if you can -- room for dessert! Everything is great, the portions are generous, and the price is reasonable (a rare find these days). Also, Josh (chef and co-owner) is a deep-fry master. His waffle fries, mozzarella sticks, and mushrooms are over-the-top. Josh sometimes steps out of the kitchen to greet customers and make sure everything is OK. The rest of the staff follow his lead for friendly service. If you get the chance, check out the adjacent, beautiful wine tasting room for Lake Barkley Winery. In addition to tastings from proprietor and builder, Bill, you can pick up some great local wines or some California varieties. Not only did Bill build the tasting room by hand (along with the entire building), he's the vintner who created the local wines from grapes he grew nearby. Get some of his local wine before he runs out of it. The California wines are from a vineyard his relative owns. This really is a family business! The tasting room is gorgeous and could be a great place to rent out for an elegant event. I hear JJ's and Lake Barkley are close to opening a banquet facility upstairs -- can't wait to see that!
