We recently visited Paducah, Kentucky for the first time. We live in Louisville and would rather…read moreget out of town on Derby weekend, so this year it was Paducah. After doing some record shopping we asked "Where's a good place to go for lunch" and there was a unanimous "Parker's" from standers by. It was also, literally, about 3 blocks away. There's a menu board mounted behind the counter and they can hand you one so you don't have to squint your eyes to see all they have to offer. And this menu is ENORMOUS Parker's is a very cool throwback to the car hops of the 50s and early 60s. You can order outside on the speaker or go inside for the full-on experience. The inside is decorated with movie and music memorabilia and neon. Lots of neon. If you're eating inside you order at the counter, they give you a number, and you find a seat. The menu is hand-held/bar food. Burgers, hotdogs, onion rings, and fries, and a variety of sandwiches and a HUGE selection of sides. My wife had a mushroom and swiss burger, I had your basic cheese burger. Our sides were onion rings and fries. Our food was delivered hot, fresh, and accurate within ten minutes. My wife's burger/onion rings came on a basket shaped like a guitar. #AWESOME!! The food was tasty and delicious. I asked for tomato on my cheeseburger and they were able to add it, but was sliced probably 3/4 of an inch thick! It made the burger look a little lopsided, but it was still good. The staff was friendly and didn't look at me funny when I asked for a side of mayonnaise for my fries (yea I'm that guy). The dining room was authentically decorated, like I said, with vintage movie and music stuff down to the chrome chairs and the soda fountain seat with silver, twirly seats...even the floor tiles were like something you'd see in a movie from the 50s. Our first visit was a great experience and we had a lot of fun despite unrelenting rain. If we get to Paducah again, Parker's Drive In is definitely our lunch destination.

My onion rings were very good, and the servers were very nice when i talked to them. Even though,…read morethat was the worst burger i've ever had in my life. Genuinely the bun was double the size of the burger and it tasted overcooked. I would rather go to mcdonald's and get a 5 dollar meal deal then have to eat that dry and tiny burger ever again.

Both times the food came out reasonably quickly and tasted good. Fries were hot both times. The place is clean. The bathroom was clean, but older and in a strange location. The staff were all super friendly and best of all the gal that rang me up clicked past the tip screen, I'm just not a fan of tipping at fast food places and just hate that screen. I did leave cash in the tip jar anyways as the folks were great. We will definitely be back when we are in Paducah again.

Was driving through and looking for a good burger spot. This place had great reviews. It's been a…read morecouple months since I've been there so I can't really remember the burger specifically, which to me means it wasn't memorial or anything great. But it also means it wasn't horrible. I do remember the onion rings being super oily. They should probably set them on paper towels or something to get some of the oil soaked up before serving them. I ate a few and they were good other than the amount of oil I could feel entering my veins. So I didn't finish those. Pricing was fair for the burgers. I thought it was strange tho that onion rings cost more than a cheeseburger. Makes me question the quality of the meat being used. I went inside to order cuz I didn't realize there was a drive through. The place was very clean. There was a woman in the lobby cleaning up while I was there. There wasn't really much for her to clean so she was doing a great job. The service was fast and friendly. All in all I was glad to have done but I don't think I'd be back.
