My favorite place to eat in Paducah is Flamingo Row which is an odd
little sandwich place. All the food there is a bit on the odd side, but
it's all fantastic. The best are their stuffed breads, but to get them
you have to go either to lunch or early dinner as they sell out of them
quickly. For BBQ, though it is not TX barbeque, most people there like
Starnes which I personally never thought much of, but everyone their
seems to love. There's also Max's Brick Oven which has reasonably good
brick oven pizza and CC Cohen's which is a steak house. If you end up
going to Kentucky Lakes, there's also a restaurant called Patty's which
has very good country cooking and incredible desserts.
