Paducah has its share of chain type restaurants, as well as fancier eating establishments. Many of them have good food and service. But it also has a number of laid-back, down-home eating places near and dear to my heart. Here are five:

Starnes BBQ

Those who love barbecue love to argue about which restaurant is best. I know there are other barbecue restaurants in Paducah that have their die-hard fans. I’ve eaten at all of them and I agree we are blessed with some really good choices. But Starnes simply has the best tasting, most consistent, and most affordable BBQ sandwich in town.

A bit pricey, but worth it.  Pork Peddler 701 N 8th St  Paducah, KY 42001 (270) 442-7414

They still do things the old-fashioned way–great food and service with a smile. Harned’s Drive-In 4421 Clarks River Rd Paducah, KY 42003 (270) 898-3164
