Strickland’s Seafood

This is a new spot to the Paducah dining scene and a welcome addition to the growing Midtown culture. Obviously, seafood is their thing. What the name doesn’t tell you, though, is that there is a distinctive «cajun» vibe going on.
We had these deep fried crab bites for an appetizer. The dipping sauce was actually the best part of the meal for us! Really a great (but very filling) starter. The bar is limited, but you’re not going here to drink, right? For the main course, I had the signature dish: Crawfish Jubilee. It was spicy, but excellent. Very meaty and a great flavor. A little too much rice along with it, but you can mix it how you wish. The hushpuppies were on the sweet side.
The décor is simple, but very clean and open. Our service was excellent, probably the best part of the entire experience. Everyone was friendly and it had a laid-​back neighborhood feel. It’s barely 3 blocks from our house, so we’ll be back for sure!

Went there on a Saturday night and it was packed. I thought that was a good sign. Turned out to be the case. Good food and very friendly staff. There wasn’t much of a wait to sit. Not much atmosphere but the menu was very economically priced.

We tried to visit shortly after they opened and had a bad experience. We decided that since they were so new, we’d give them some time to «work out the kinks» and try again. Well, tonight we went back, and I’m so glad we did. They were busy with their Monday night special (all you can eat catfish and frog legs) but we got seated right away and placed our orders. I ordered the fried shrimp and my husband got the Crawfish Jubilee. Everything was delicious. The hush puppies were so light and fluffy! We even splurged and got the bread pudding with bourbon cream sauce for dessert. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed the meal. The menu displayed 14oz Steak but was told it was no longer an option. My wife and I had planned on her ordering jumbo shrimp me a stark and sharing but not a big deal. The server was observant and tentative we had to wait for table so we got wine at the small bar. With in 15 minutes we were seated. I enjoyed being there and the food was great. I had grilled shrimp salad and fried okra. Fried okra cause my wife will not eat that.
Worth every dime!
Wife and I with drinks $ 44.
Forgot had 6 Jumbo shrimp cocktail before dinner in that $ 44.

In town for a weekend away and tried this place based on Unilocal.The place was packed and everyone was terrific! We had to wait but there was a small bar for a glass of wine and an appetizer while you wait a short time. The girls chatted with us and made recommendations. Paul our waiter after being seated at a table and he took great care of us! The mfood was terrific. We had shrimp batter fried and grilled. The sides were okay– broccoli a little over cooked and potato a little under for my taste but no big deal. The hushpuppies were fresh and delicious. Overall a really good experience. Steak is on the menu but they no longer carry it. Understandable for seafood restaurant.

Very good food and friendly staff. My food has always come out hot and fresh each and every time. PoBoys are great, Catfish is excellent. Since Whaler’s closed its about time Paducah had a quality seafood spot. Great place to go for lunch have not been by during dinner but I’m sure it’s just as good. Anyone who dislikes this place probably has unrealistic expectations to begin with. Give it a try. Oh, I’m a fan of their hush puppies. 4 stars because parking lot can be deceiving.

Just ate there for the first time. Food was excellent in flavor. Crab cakes were a bit dry but the excellent remoulade sauce made up for that. Hush puppies were the best I’ve ever had. Oysters on the half shell were perfect. Will be going back soon.
