    Hush puppies with white beans.

    First of all I love this restaurant! They always have the best catfish and hush puppies and beans I've ever had! So good the side salad and macaroni and cheese with fried potatoes and onions. The service is always amazing and they always smile. It's really nice and cozy in there. I love this place so much!! Glad it's only a 9 minute drive from my house

    Catfish sandwich with all the fixings and some seriously yummy okra!

    Super yummy!! Sat down and was brought a big basket of hush puppies and a bowl of beans! Hush puppies were SO YUMMY! Then got the grilled catfish sandwich and it certainly did not disappoint. Will definitely return! Quick and friendly service too!

    Catfish was the best I have ever had. Very fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back when I come through Paducah!

    Nice environment and good service. The hushpuppies were tasty as was the fried catfish. Portions were good... no one left hungry.

    Food was just normal stuff! The one that was in Calvert City was a whole lot better! Probably won't return!

    Came on the recommendation from a friend (04/25/2026), I'd heard mixed reviews so I was curious…read moreabout this place. 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.

I typically am perfectly happy to pay whatever it takes to get a good meal and usually don't pay attention to the bill But this bill easily exceeded by 50% What you typically pay for a high-quality meal And while the meal was quite good, it wasn't a five star meal The service was five stars The salad was good The coconut clam appetizer was good My branzino was quite the small portion and lacked flavor Our salmon was overcooked to dry The best part was the service it was impeccable I rarely say this But I'll never go back it's just not worth it It's a 150$ meal. Not a 235$ meal. Other patrons voiced the only reason they were there was because it's the only place open on Monday.

    Went for dinner, very cool atmosphere. Lights could be a little dimmer. Service was excellent…read more Food is where the price doesn't meet the road. Truffle fries; don't use crinkle cut, you're not Culver's. Seriously, you have to figure out how to make fresh cut fries Or get creative w/ another spud. Chilean Sea bass; you have to give us a bigger piece for $62, It shouldn't be 1" x 3" morsel. Again, do better, It should be twice as big. If you're worried about running out, oh well, at least match the size for the value. Salmon seemed fairly big enough for the $$. You're a good spot fr dinner, but have to do better. Hope you take to heart.
