    Y'all even trying?  More like a Blizzard. Should have handed to me upside down or it's free
    Troy B.

    I'll preface by saying the only reason I'd give a restaurant one star is if I had to walk out before I ever ordered. I gave this one two stars because I won't be walking back In. That said: Hostess was apathetic and tired to see our presence at her table. A smile? A hello? A warm welcome to Cheddars? Crickets. Fake it to make it if you have to. Seated us in the bar area with my 18 year old daughter in the very back when there was other seating available more conducive. Should have said something but trying to be nice. Maybe you're just having a bad day. Bartender was our server, so he spent most of his time cleaning behind the bar and taking care of the customers at the bar...not very personable. May I suggest a Hello! welcome! I'll be right with you! Waited an inordinate time to even know you would be our server. Ordered the chips and queso for an appetizer. When plate finally arrived there was no queso but salsa. Can we get some queso? The result is what you see in the photo. Eventually a manager arrived...Oh thank goodness. "We're out of the mashed potatoes you ordered and are currently making more. Can I get you a different side?" No. I want the mashed potatoes as soon as they're ready. I'm sure it'll be the warmest food on my plate. I was right. My blackened salmon came out perfect and the vegetable was cooked perfectly. My daughter's fries were cold and her determination to not step foot in here again was steadfast. One piece of advice...at the end of the meal when you hand the customer the check don't blame the kitchen for overall terrible service. You picked up the plate from the kitchen to bring it to me.

    The food and service were excellent. I cannot say enough good things about the Buffalo chicken wrap! I will come back every time I am in Paducah for that. We were able to have an amazing, filling dinner for two (with leftovers) for under $50 (not counting tip). The carrot cake is delicious also.

    We stopped here on a pit stop down to Florida, the name caught our eye. There were right the chicken tenders were made from scratch, so fresh. Kids loved it. My son even snuck into my baked potato. He dug into his meal quickly didn't get a photo. I enjoyed my salad. They give you these warm croissants that melt in your mouth. Again kids gobbled them down before a photo. Desiree our server was very nice and attentive. Great food awesome service.

    Side salad

    This is our second time at this cheddars, and have to say the food is always decent and great prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's never busy so it's always easy to get in and out of.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant struggled at the beginning and they have really been working to turn things around. We had the Buffalo chicken wrap, side salad, chicken pot pie with green beans, and steak and grilled shrimp. Everything was great and even had left overs. They always bring out the croissants first with honey butter. They never seem to be warm (that would be my only complaint). But they are still delicious! Typically not a fan of chain restaurants, but cheddars and Olive Garden seem to be the exception.

    Freight House in Paducah is worth the drive from Nashville (and if you are a fan of quilting, this…read morecity is for you). We showed up right at opening, five o'clock, and there was already a long line of people waiting to get in. Make a reservation. I'm glad we did. We had a party of four and was seated at a low top that had a view of the kitchen. Lively open space with an open kitchen you can see both the cook line and the prep area. The cornbread was the unexpected standout of the entire meal. Mildly sweet, savory, light and fluffy all the way through. I was not expecting a side dish to steal the show, but it did. We also ordered the double stuffed burrata, and the bread it came with deserves its own mention. Crisp, lightly toasted, with just a touch of char. It paired beautifully with the creamy burrata and the accompaniments on the plate. For my entree I went with the grilled Caesar salad and added shrimp. It ended up being the perfect call. The portion was generous, the shrimp addition made it feel like a real meal. The romaine had this excellent crisp char on it that added so much. The dressing was heavenly. One of the best Caesar dressings I have had in a while. My favorite parts of the night had nothing to do with what was on my plate. We got to watch chef Sara Bradley working the kitchen with her team during service, and it was clear why this place has the reputation it does. I'd love to come back and try the prix fixe tasting menu next time. Overall this was a great experience from start to finish. And a must stop or destination when driving through KY.

    My husband and I were celebrating Valentine's Day and chose to go somewhere new to us…read more The restaurant itself is a very well decorated and cozy place. The menu tonight was predetermined with great options. Service was a little slow tonight, but that is to be expected when the entire restaurant is at capacity with reservations. My husband and I loved the appetizers. It was a sample of shrimp cocktail, spinach dip with pita bread, and sriracha honey bacon brussel sprouts. I ordered the garden salad for my next course while my husband chose the broccoli mushroom chowder. We each enjoyed our choice. For the main course I had the marinated grilled chicken with creamy spinach and artichoke, and my husband had the 16 ounce bone in ribeye. Both main dishes came with a twice baked potato and roasted vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, bell pepper). My chicken was slightly overcooked, but it wasn't too noticeable with the creamy topping. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed the sides. We got dessert to go as we were so full by that point. I chose the carrot cake and he got the cheesecake. Our son was very happy we decided to bring the desserts home so he could also try them. Both were delicious, but the carrot cake was the standout. We look forward to returning to have their regular menu.
