There's nothing warm and cozy about the room-- just signs with smarmy platitudes like "if you don't like my cooking, lower your standards." Har har har. I was in for breakfast and chose a meat/eggs/side combo. The side choices are four different kinds of potatoes. I chose hash brown casserole because the other three items were fried, but what I got seemed a lot like fried hashbrowns with cheese stirred in. The eggs and ham on my plate were coated in what seemed like fake yellow butter substitute. Eggs were not fully cooked; the whites were runny. in all, not a great experience.

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.

Not wanting to hit a chain or fast food and after finding some good reviews of the food on here we made the 7 minute detour off the interstate to Loopy Larry's. It's a small but brightly decorated place with a fee tables & countertop seating against the walls there are also a few tables outside. Walk up to the counter & the menu is on the wall behind it. Any specials are on counter where you place your order. I had initially came here wanting a salad but when I saw the special was a Cuban I deviated that direction. Wife got the half salad half sandwich special. Cuban was heavy & delicious. Loaded with all kinds of meaty and saucy goodness. Definitely not what I can here for but soooo good. My wife had a half chick bahn mi & a half chefs salad. I tried both & they were also very good. You get your moneys worth here & the staff were all very nice & helpful. Not sure I'll be coming through anytime in the future but if I do I hope they are there still.

Honestly, an off-brand cheap ranch tastes better than what was served. If this recipe has been around that long, it definitely needs an update.
