We walked in but couldn't stay. Parking lot smelled bad. Foyer smelled bad. Restaurant reeked of stale and bad smells just as rank. Had to leave. Didn't rven get a chance to try the food. read more

We went out of our way to get the mutton barbecue. Very disappointed when the waitress said, " The kitchen doesn't think it looks very good." I'm still wondering exactly what that means. The barbecue pork was just okay. The fries were Great! My friend rated the catfish pretty good. It's an interesting old place, very atmospheric and nostalgic. Probably will make the hour detour next time through to Moonlight in Owensboro. read more

Very friendly staff. A lot of customers. Love the food. Variety of anything you want. Between sandwiches , catfish , shrimp and steak and may take a while to get food. But it's worth it. Nice atmosphere read more

Our visit to Kountry Kastle will be our LAST! On March 19, 2025 - time was "late Lunch". Location - down hall to Last Room - but not through it. There were two problems - service and obscene offensive language. The "WAITress" only appeared to: Take Order Deliver Order Deliver Bill Three obviously intoxicated males arrived and were seated nearest the hall. They were responsible for LOUD and OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE One gave graphic and extensive description of how he crashed his motorcycle while doing a wheelie, told his wife a lie about the crash, and how his wife found out the truth. At least every second sentence contained the offensive word. In my years I have been in some questionable bars/saloons. None would have tolerated/allowed such conduct. Not even the late Murray Moose Lodge - an open saloon in dry city. HAD the "WAITress" appeared, we could have requested to move to the next room. Adios, read more

Every single item on the menu is good, but you have to try the catfish basket. The fish is cooked to perfection and you get a mountain of food. My niece first took me here years ago and it became tradition to come back. I would always ask her where do you want to sit and she would say anywhere and then walk over to the booth by the jukebox and sit down. So she is no longer with us but I come back here in memory of her and to enjoy the wonderful food. Later I found out this booth had special meaning for her, so it does for me as well. If you're anywhere near within 100 miles or more you should come here to eat. read more

They have the best large barbecue! It is big and it is thick. No skinny sandwich here. Their crinkle cut french fries are very hot when they come to the table and their fountain drinks are full of crushed ice and filled to the brim with your drink. Their service is excellent also. read more

Have eaten here several times. The food is always hot and fresh. Menu consists of BBQ, chicken, burgers, wings, mushrooms, etc. The Kastle also serves alcohol. read more

Love this place. It's been here for a very long time and I hope it continues to stay. Food is always on point. And if it's not speak up they will make it right. read more

Great place, service, food and atmosphere! I love this place so much! If you drive by, you better stop in, because you don't know what you're missing out! read more

-1 star.. this place is like eating carnival food.. no plates, plastic silverware. My food was served to me in a wrapper. And it was not even good !! Would NOT recommend!! read more

This place is grime, if you like wait staff putting hand in your drink and burnt food my friend your in the right place Zero stars read more

Very bad to make you sit yourself and then have to wait 15 minutes for someone to come wait on you. Where I work we sit the people and they get mad if they have to wait a minute in the door. Very bad ethic. Last time I came was over 5 years ago and tried to give it a chance again, but I'm thinking it's a no. read more

Great food at a fairly decent price, it does get a bit hectic around lunchtime, definitely worth the trip.

Always great food simple and fast service. Mgr Trish is the best . If you like tunes ..the online Jukebox is great .. Young and Oldsters good mix of customers 5 stars ! I LOVE THIS PLACE ! read more

If you like take order from a barroom you'll love it here. You wait for the order while staring at men drinking beers with beer signs on the walls. If that's ok with you then you will love it. If you like your chicken dry as cotton and incredibly small then you won't mind eating there. read more

Everything Ive ever had has been great!! the people are super friendly. The Kountry Kastle is a fun place to go with friends. read more

From the outside, Kountry Kastle appears to be a massive tourist trap. But, when you enter, it is like a dark dive bar from the 1970's. The ceilings are low, the beer is cheap, and you will see the bar area as soon as you enter. Sometimes there is a juke box blasting and FOX news on the TV, but sometimes it is completely silent and creepy. The food here is resembles greasy stuff that a carnie would hand you out of a wobbly box at the county fair. Dipped in grease for a low price. The pulled pork is neutral and the sauce is runny and full of black pepper. There are four different types of fries to choose from, their most popular being the cajun seasoned fries. The frosty mug rootbeer is not free refill. My Dad ordered the fried bologna sandwich, husband ordered the smoked sausage with peppers and onions. I had the pulled pork sandwich platter, the highlight being the baked beans. I was really not feeling the beans because they had too much bell pepper flavor to them, but they had the most flavor of everything on the platter. I could actually see this being a place where kids would like to go for lunch because of the price and the kid-like foods offered, other than the beer. Dirty food, done dirt cheap! read more

came for lunch based on a co-worker's suggestion. It was good! I have to admit, I was a bit scared when I walked in. it's funny that the place is next door to a topless dance bar. lol. I will admit that this place knows how to batter dip and FRY. I got the beer battered fries and the chili cheese dog. Shared the fried pickles for an appetizer. those beer battered fries were PERFECT. Perfectly crispy and not greasy and crunchy. OMg. :) Definitely recommended!! read more

Food was very good, the service not quite so much. I sit for about 10 minutes before I was offered a menu or order taking once I place the order, I waited 55 minutes for my food. Good thing I wasn't on a lunch hour. read more

Greasy spoon kind of good. It has a bar feel to it. The BBQ is pretty good. The restaurant itself is a staple in Paducah.

One of the best places to eat in Paducah if you like fried food and bar-b-q. We love their Mutton sandwiches and burgers. The Texas toothpicks are a must for me also. Prices are very reasonable here considering all the other places lately have gone out of sight!!! Lots of other restaurants have just over priced their food but have smaller amounts and is not any better for taste!! So I highly recommend the Kastle!!! read more

Awesome bbq at super reasonable prices. I had the chicken and me and my coworker both ate a ton for under $30. Nice people too!

I kid you not this is the best restaurant in the Paducah area. The atmosphere, the music, the food, it's all just perfect. Their Kountry double burger & fried cheesecake are to die for. I love it so much. Old school Honkey Tonk!! read more

If you like cheap, fried or greasy food. This is the place for you! We ordered several things from the menu for takeout. I really tried to like something. But, no dice! It was the first & only time I've eaten there! I was hungry after our meal because I took a bite of everything, it was all gross! read more

Been coming here for years. In the front when you walk in it's a bar area and a little dim but keep going towards the back it's more family oriented. They have wonderful BBQ, BBQ chicken, big hamburgers, tamales, taco salad, nachos, hot wings, catfish and very cold draft beer..just to mention a few of our favorites. They have large variety of food. Can't go wrong. read more

I got the herd of wings and shared with my mom and sister. They were amazing and they have a little kick. The Cajun fries are not spicy. They really just taste like regular fries but they are very crispy and so are the wings. The service is fast. They have a basketball hoop in the back for kids to play with while they wait. read more

We just drove 5 hours to eat here for our Valentine's night dinner! The deep fried menu (one whole page of deep fried goodness) was impossible to resist, and the "pork on toast" sandwich was as amazing as ever. Great bbq, cold beer, and deep fried goodness... What more do you need? read more

The reason this place gets a 5 is because of truly overall service. The food itself get 4 stars honestly but on the flip side the prices of the food will shock you. I bought 32 wings for $13. That is unheard of and the wings with pretty good. I experienced great service. This will be one of my now, go to restaurants in Paducah, Kentucky. read more

We have been eating here for over 20 years. Max and the crew do an excellent job! I always get The Hoagie, it comes with banana peppers, and Italian Dressing. Today we got corn nuggets which our grandson loves! My husband gets the Fried Pork Fritter, which is bigger than the plate! Our grandson got the Chicken Nuggets. The BBQ is really good too. If you drink, they have a large selection of beer. read more

Kountry Kastle Barbecue - Menu for BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

Good food, good prices, absolutely atrocious and offensive checkout service. The little dip standing behind the counter was far more interested in talking to a customer about something non-work related than she was in taking my money. I waited on her for what seemed like several minutes before she even acknowledged me. Then, she snapped at me when I told her I needed to hurry by telling me she really wasn't working there. But she eventually checked me out anyway. How could she work the register if she didn't work there? Not going back soon, too many other places in this community where the wait staff are glad to have the job and are courteous to customers. This little twerp just didn't want to work and she made that very plain. read more

Ok, so according to the menu, apparently this is the oldest single-family owned restaurant in Paducah--made from hand-poured concrete blocks brought by horse & buggy from the Mayflower, or something. Well, whatever the provenance, they sure can make a great, simple, sliced ribeye philly sandwich. I ate half of it before I remembered to take a picture, but it was full of tender steak (I ordered double meat), and it actually had a healthy amount of grilled onions, swiss, and grilled green bell peppers--not like some philly sandwhiches that have a few onion slices and look like the cook just didn't feel like messing with the bell pepper. A very simple, but good sandwich. This is a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, to be sure--it even has a gentlemen's club called "Indiscretions," or something, next door, and comes complete with no-nonsense servers who swing by your table with your foil-paper-wrapped sandwich, plop it down in front of you, (sans plate--that's what the wrapper is for, dummy) then walk off. I mean, this aint' no fancy-pants city place where they come back after a while to check on you, or even give you silverware, (I went to the bar to get mine)--hell, that's why you have opposable thumbs. But, all things considered--the cheap prices, good selection, and really good ribeye philly--this place gets 4 stars in my book. That guy that quarried the foundation stones by hand back in the day would be proud. read more

Went with my family and we had two different waitresses. The first waitress was amazing and couldn't have been better but the one who took our order and gave us the bill was horribly rude. have never experienced such a rude waitress in my life. read more

The BBQ here is subpar. If you're looking for great BBQ, this isn't it. If you're looking for crappy service from snotty waitresses, then this would be the place. I came in for lunch at 2:15, I was one of five people. The waitress told me she forgot I was there and did I want to order after I was left sitting there for a while. Another waitress dropped my food at my table. Literally walked up, dropped my plate in front of me and walked off without a word. Good luck on being Paducha's oldest restaurant. With staff like you've got, I'll be surprised if you stick around another 75 years. Update: I sat here in the restaurant posting this. As I'm sitting here eating in a supposedly no smoking restaurant, someone walks by my table smoking. Yeah, this a one star (is zero and option?) kind of place. read more

Only octopi can give Kountry Kastle the rating they deserve - because this place is eight thumbs up! They have a gigantic menu of hot dogs, fries, burgers, barbecue, exc., and they taste great (also excellent service)! Though one thing: The Kid's Meals burgers are like a tiny snack and about the size of a Big Q styrofoam lid, so if your kids like to eat a lot order a regular meal and split it with them or buy an extra Kid's Meal. read more

When I walked in I must say I wasn't expecting a bar atmosphere, But we still had a great time. We got to sit wherever we wanted, and on a Thursday night it was packed. The one booth left had a tray on it, as well as it had not been wiped off but it was one of the only seats left so we grabbed it. The waitress was polite, they didn't have hot tea, but we got a soft drink and water. We ordered Mozz sticks, onion rings, and a herd of wings! Everything came out together, and was cooked perfectly!! It was so good! And came in HUGE portions! They also put the bill down right when you start and check it off as they go which is something I'd never seen before. We played the lottery machine while we were waiting which was fun, won $3 and then lost it lol. The only downfall I thought was they needed more servers, I only saw one for three rooms and a bar. Maybe they were short staffed that night but I'd like to see more people on the floor. But good Job everyone keep it up! read more

Kountry Kastle Barbecue - Herd of wings! - Barbeque Near Me - Paducah, Kentucky

This local hotspot was suggested to us by our hotel and it did not disappoint. Vast menu to choose from and all excellent value for money. The BBQ ribs and chicken were really good and all served with a side and beans, coleslaw and rolls. Great beer on tap and with each pitcher we were given a new ice cold mug! Relaxed interior with high booth seating, exactly what you want when eating super messy food. If I ever drive through Paducah again, I'll definitely be stopping by. read more

It depends what you are looking for. Fine dining? This is a 1. Good for the price. This is a 5. A busy place. Wish I could have had a cold Busch beer in a frosted mug with these little pitchers. This place is a locals place. It's dark inside but I had good catfish and great hush puppies. If I were going back, I'd have the barbecue on toast. Great prices. You'll love it if you like barbecue and fried food. read more
