Whaler's Catch Restaurant - (270) 444-7701

A few of us were in Paducah on business and several locals recommended this place. It is a piece of New Orleans right in downtown Paducah. Good view of river though not on it. There is a large outdoor dining deck but we were there in the winter so it was not in use. Food was good and plentiful. Atmosphere reminded me of any nice restaurant in the French Quarter. Casual to business attire is appropriate here.

If you go to Paducah, or are just passing through, don't neglect the city's historic downtown riverfront area. The Whaler's Catch serves up a variety of fresh seafood in an inviting environment (they have a 150 year old solid mahogany bar that General U.S. Grant reportedly bellied up to during the Civil War). Our party enjoyed crawfish, catfish, and crab cakes - all of which was excellent. Can't wait to go back and try something else off their extensive menu. Overall a great place to go!

ooooh-wee, this place was tasty and they have great steaks too. go on a saturday night in the summer when the paducah after dinner program is in full swing.
