Samantha checked our drinks, offered dessert and provided the needed boxes to go. Great service with a smile. You should eat here.

The luggage lockers are still here, the large parking lot and massive overhangs for huge coach buses, the industrial rest rooms and the signage. There is some character and flavor going on here. Inside and outside seating, which was nice on a cool evening with fire pits going. We sat inside. Beers and pizza ordered, neither took very long. Super hot, super delicious and loaded up with cheese. The pizza was excellent and so was the service. After two beers and we'd polished off the pie, we were off. I enjoyed PBW and would definitely return when I'm passing through Paducah. [Review 281 of 2025 - 296 in Kentucky - 23844 overall]

For our entrée, we shared the pork shoulder, and it was absolutely delicious. The fennel aioli was such a great touch, and the combination of pork, peas, and greens made for the perfect Southern bite. We enjoyed it so much I wish we could go back tonight! We took a slice of lemon chess pie to go, and it was every bit as delicious as the rest of the meal. Kyle was our server and was fantastic--very knowledgeable and helpful with our selections. The restaurant was busy with a fun, lively atmosphere, but not so loud that we couldn't easily talk and enjoy our dinner. Definitely one of our favorite meals in Paducah!

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.

I could easily see how people could spend a whole day here: For dinner, we were in a room with butterflies and flowers. When you looked around, it's almost as if you didn't know where to focus your attention. I ordered a drink and the burger ($2 upcharge after 4pm). The burger was ok but the fries were delicious.

Food was good, but not enough for the cost. My bill for one was $68 for one alcoholic beverage, a soda, the app for the table, a sandwich and chips, and a piece of pie. Kitschy as hell, which I enjoy. Lots of shops to wander while you wait. Looks like Alice in Wonderland threw up. The staff is the best part. Our server, Jordan, was personable and funny and didn't let any extra costs go by without notifying us. I appreciate that. Everyone was great, and willingly wearing uniforms that seemed uncomfortable at best. But it's part of the theme. Standouts: flower pot bread and strawberry butter, moonshine tastings, and sawdust pie. Go once just to experience it if you're nearby.

Hubby said it very good, great breading, nice and crispy. Great tartar sauce too. I wish I had tried it. My fries were not crispy (no double fry) not crispy at all. They were hot and cooked though. My sandwich was pretty good, not excellent. It had a bit too much sauce in it for me. It had a good flavor and the toasted garlic roll was good.
