We stop in Paducah several times a year. We decided to try Stricklands based upon reviews and were not disappointed. The restaurant is small, maybe a converted C store. Neighborhood and building not so much but excellent dinner and obviously local favorite. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was mostly fried but very good. They have small plate early bird platters before 4 or 5 pm. Best check. I had the Harris platter: fried shrimp,coconut shrimp, clams strips, catfish, and hush puppies. All very good. My wife had fried Cod. Also lightly breaded and very good. They have full bar and brag about Margaritas. Back to Floridaâs Gulf Coast.

While visiting some family in Paducah, we decided to eat at the Freight House. We were seated fast upon arrival. This restaurant is in an old brick warehouse, exposed wood beams with industrial looking tables and chairs. We ordered deviled eggs and Ellenâs pepperoni dip for an appetizer, both were delicious. They have a huge selection of alcoholic beverages, wine, beer and mixed drinks. I ordered shrimp and grits, my wife ordered the braised pork shoulder and my daughter ordered l.b.l. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. We couldnât decide on a dessert so we ordered all three, all of them were very good. A must try mixed drink is the party mom punch. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about items on the menu. If you are in town, give the Freight House a try, you will be glad you did.
