    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.

    New Orleans Pasta, Buffalo Chicken Wrap, Trios appetizer

    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. It's never busy so it's always easy to get in and out of. 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.

( pass through once a year ) It's the highlight of my culinary year The flavors are earthy simple and complex. All at the same time. Spices never overpower the intended mouth music. I wish I could dine here regularly.

    I'm finally having a chance to review our visits to Freight House back in November!…read more My husband and I took a little trip to Paducah, and the main reason we chose this location for our vacation was Sara Bradley's restaurant Freight House. We both are fans of "Top Chef" and since her restaurant is within reasonable distance of home, we planned a trip around it. In fact, we made reservations for two nights in a row, to take in as much of the menu as possible! Between the two different days, we tried a number of appetizers, entrees and desserts. If I were to do this again the same way, I would do one day of apps and dessert and one day of entrees, just to spread things out a bit. What we ate: - Fall pickles: I enjoyed this, with the bit of chili heat, especially the cauliflower - Stuffed Mushrooms: I love mushrooms, and these blended creamy, sweet and hot with a filling of cream cheese, berry BBQ sauce and smoked jalapeno - Pistachio and herb chevre cheeseball: a fresh cheese enhanced by nutty and Herby notes - Smoked bologna: my husband's choice; very meaty and there was a lot of it - Spicy beer cheese spread: a very Midwestern feeling appetizer with tasty veggies and crackers Entrees: -Shrimp and grits: my choice: comforting southern food with lots of flavor - Duck fried rice: his choice: rich rice offset by more delicate vegetables - Sticky ribs: my choice: the pumpkin spice and coffee liqueur glaze worked well for a cozy, wintry meal - Braised pork shoulder: his choice; served with beans and cornbread, this was another hearty, comforting meal with a Southern twist. Desserts: - Winter creme brulee: this was my favorite, flavored with mulling spices, orange and pomegranate We also enjoyed a seasonal sorbet and the fall spice cake. We had the same server both nights, Elizabeth, who was good at making recommendations, and also staggering the small plates on our small table so we wouldn't be overloaded. Chef Sara was in house the second night, bringing dishes to tables. The setting is relaxed, not overly loud, with moody lighting. Overall, we would certainly return to Freight House!

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.
