Rude help, especially the woman barkeep. Ridiculous! She was actually talking to me and saw some important people that came in after me and left me without ordering to go take their order (spent 5 plus minutes over there with the important customers). So I left her bar and went to a table to get service.... if you go here, don't order beers nor shut at the bar because she's terrible at her job. 2 stars for the food, but Paducah Rafferty's left 3 stars on the table (people come and pay for overpriced food for the service and when the service is bad it makes you not want to come back).
We really liked the food and drinks. All the employees we encountered were super nice and helpful. The only downside was how beyond hot it was. We were seated in a glass enclosed area and just baked, it's hard to enjoy a hot meal when dripping with sweat. We were told some AC units weren't working or not working properly. Other then the heat, I highly recommend.
Hot fresh homemade soups! Ice cold salads.. crunchy lettuce Mmmmmm. The Ranch dressing? ?♥️ very clean, nice and friendly staff. The croissant roll served with salad.. Yum! You’ll want to eat a dozen. Just saying. You’ll want to check this place out, especially after driving all day with or without the family. I had the Potato soup and the House salad.
We would definitely recommend to try this place out if you happen to be in the area. We went for dinner. My ribeye and my husband’s entree salad were excellent. Fried mushrooms for an appetizer were pretty good. Service was fast. The only cons were our waitress being impatient, somewhat irritated and rushed us to order the main course. Had to beg her for bread that supposed to come with the meal, then argue about getting appetizer first and then ordering meals. I ordered baked potato for my side item with everything on it minus sour cream. When I received it, it had lots of sour cream on it and she wanted to take away my steak along with the potato to remake it. I insisted on keeping the steak, but did let her take the potato for remaking it. On the positive note, other staff who would bring items to the table, were polite and courteous. Based on an overall experience, we would probably return when next time in the area.
I was here in April 2022 with a group that paid for the meals. Sadly, this same group returned to this restaurant several days later. It would not have been my choice. The service was top notch. Our server had great presence and kept excellent track of 14 orders. Due to diet restrictions I ordered the catch of the day with asparagus. The asparagus was excellent but the mahi was overcooked and dry. Were it not for the side sauce, it would have been inedible. On the second visit, I ordered the salmon and requested that they not over cook it. That request didn't work. Again, a lovely piece of fish was overcooked and dry. Based on what I heard from other diners, the burgers seemed to be well received. So, if you wish to have their sweet croissants or a burger, this may be a great place to try. If you want a healthier option, I'd search for another place to eat.
Great Option for Good Food! Enjoyed dinner here with family. The menu had some really good options with everything from steaks and chops to pasta and club sandwich. We also liked that you could order wine by the bottle.
We were headed home up I-24 at the end of our vacation. It was about 11:30 on Sunday and our stomachs were growling. Needing to fill up before getting to IL, we got off at this Paducah exit, which had this Rafferty's. It was our first time to try it. Frankly, we felt it was nearly the same as another favorite of ours, Cheddars. Our waitress, Tonya, was very good. Their chicken fingers were too. However, their crescent rolls were undercooked and their ribs were super tender but felt boiled rather than bbq'd or grilled. The meat fell off the half rack's rib bones but it had a stronger than desired vinegar taste to it. Nice restaurant style and decor. Sorey but we'd probably pick a Cheddars over here.
Ate dinner here since we were staying at a hotel next door. They were very busy but we sat at the bar and ordered from there. Great drinks, large choice of food from sandwiches to entrees. We had the house potato soup and ribs….YUM! With its fun atmosphere, I would highly recommend.
We thought this was a pizza place. We were quite surprised to find it a steak house. The price foe what we got was very spendy. Would not go there again.
I loved the atmosphere and the menu! The food was excellent!
