Atmosphere - Retro dinner like place without the counter top. Lots of funny things on the walls. Food Drink - Coffee, just black. Breakfast - While in Metropolis you need to have something named after the star. I had the Superman. The Superman is the Loaded Haystack with two eggs and toast. The Loaded Haystack is hash brown, bacon, sausage, onions, green peppers, tomatoes and topped with ton of cheddar cheese. The haystack was loaded for sure, I was full after that. Service - What you needed. The waitress did everything front of the house. Future - Probably as I have another trip to the area soon.

We visited Paducah for the Quilt Show, and my wife, a quilter, expressed a desire for barbecue…read more Following a recommendation from a local merchant, we went to Starnes BBQ. The restaurant was quite busy. We secured a table and ordered two sandwiches, an order of coleslaw, and shared an iced tea. My wife is particular about sauces; we both tasted a small amount, and found the sauce to be excessively hot, with the consistency of watered-down hot sauce and lacking in traditional barbecue flavor. While the locals seemed to enjoy it, we did not find it to our liking. Having sampled barbecue in various regions, from California to the Carolinas, we found this to be the worst sauce we've encountered. We did not use the sauce on our sandwiches. The meat was adequately cooked but lacked flavor. The coleslaw was very good, as was the iced tea. The service was excellent. The restaurant is quite small, as evidenced by the previous photos. If you are seeking authentic Southern barbecue, Starnes BBQ falls short of expectations.

The girl working the front was super friendly and helpful, chef was also sweet and offered to refill my drink as we left. For the price point, absolutely cannot be beat. We will be back

We stumbled onto this local little gem while on our way to Florida. Tired of the chain restaurants…read morewe wanted something different and always up for southern BBQ we figured we'd give this place a try. We walked in a party of 6, not sure if we'd be able to all sit together as all we saw were booths. I didn't notice a sign telling us if we should wait to be seated but it was clear it was a local hang out and I thought *maybe we weren't welcome. It took only a few seconds for someone to tell us to help ourselves to any seat and we walked around the corner to a far back section of tables where all 6 of us could sit comfortably. The menu isn't fancy and the food is basic American bar and BBQ food but it was a big menu and cheap! You are not eating healthy here but that's the point!! Our party of 6 spent @ $46 with the tip - 1 kid meal, 1 BLT w/ side, 1 burger w/side, 2 half slabs of ribs, 1 steak sandwich w/side. The staff was friendly, food was good, we were disappointed we didn't find this place sooner!!!

We were about to go to another restaurant but they were closed ( Said in Yelp they were open and on…read morewebsite ) It was a blessing in disguise; we came upon 4 Little Pigs. Seen some fellas sitting on a bench outside and asked where the best catfish restaurant is at. They said right here! It's a small diner type place with good sitting available in another room. We got a table for 8 and a child. We were promptly seated and waited on; we all were here yet but ordered drinks. No alcohol here but that's okay! Others arrived and we started off placing orders. After we ordered we had to opportunity to visit and discuss our day activities. Now from the time we checked in there was this trickle new customers coming in at a nice steady rate. This became a bit of a problem; we did have to wait awhile for our food to come out; so refills were being done! They did keep apologizing and finally said your food is being prepared. Finally our food came out and looked delicious. The appearance was good but it was second to the taste and decent size portions. Several of us just wanted catfish; boy this place did not disappoint. Our waitress Reese was awesome and did a nice job on taking care of us; The only hiccup was my wife didn't get her baked potato; which probably was more than she'd be able to eat but they addressed a credit for that item. Catfish was outstanding, great breading and taste. If ever in the area definitely will stop back in. There were food choices for everyone, vegan items and regular. If we were in area, probably would have come back for a breakfast This is definitely a diamond in the rough! Stop in if you're in the area. Length of wait for food was a ding, but the food and service override that so 5 it is!

I got the chicken and sausage one. It was a little spicy but that's to be expected. I was a little disappointed that almost all the appetizers were deep fried. I really feel they should add more variety to that menu. Especially considering Cajun and creole dishes are usually grilled or blackened not fried. I'd come back for the Etouffee.
