Dairyette "Plus" — Restaurant in Lone Oak

I had been searching Paducah for another mom and pop restaurant, and thankfully I found Dairyette just as I had nearly given up. I had found myself to be bored with the food in the area, but was shocked when I found this little gem hidden right in the heart of the Lone Oak area. How had I missed it this long?

I walked in and was greeted by a super cool staff. It was a very warm greeting and I knew I would feel very at home here.

I looked up and the menu and found myself wishing that I had an extra stomach to bring along with me. Everything looked so good. And I knew I would physically push myself past full to try what I could.

But when I saw a chuck wagon sandwich on the menu, my inner child who hasn't seen one in years, did a little dance. I'd asked what kind of fries they had and was told crinkle cut. So, I thought I'd ask to have them cooked crispy. They abliged perfectly. And that sandwich actually sated that inner child as it was PERFECT.

And as I sat and and ate my meal, I found myself looking at the menu board planning my next visit and what I would try next. I had honestly never done this at any of the restaurants I've reviewed across the country. The suspense is killing me, and I just can't wait to try some BBQ Nachos. Then, I saw it. A chocolate malt. There was no way I could leave without one. I knew instantly that would be the thing that pushed me past full, but I didn't care.

The only thing that this restaurant needs to add, is the wheelbarrow I will likely need to be pushed to my car with the next time I come in and overeat.

I am giving this restaurant the HIGHEST rating on the Rikki Recommends Rating Scale and feel that if you've never been there, or even of you have, it's time to go and try something new.

Kudos to the owner, cooks and staff. This was a top...

I NEVER double post about a place, but for some reason it jumped to a different profile and I wanted to review from my Rikki Recommends profile. So, I went back to Dairyette today...

Same fantastic service, and although I said I wanted to try to BBQ Nachos, I woke up YESTERDAY thinking of a chuck wagon and chocolate malt from Dairyette. It was labor day and these hardworkers DESERVED a day off. So, today I got up... And nothing was stopping me from going.

Listen, folks, this place is absolutely fantastic. It's got a small town feel, and a spectacular crew that makes you feel at home the minute you walk in. I did fail to mention the low prices in the first post... This may be the best prices in Paducah.

I stand by what I said... This place gets my highest rating on the Rikki Recommends rating scale. Get in your car... Do not pass go, do not collect $200... Go directly...

You know you're in a local favorite spot when...

You're at the BBQ and burger restaurant that ISNT a big chain ...

Daughter, mother, and dad are all working side by side behind the counter.

Autographed picture of local baseball hero Daniel Webb hang the walls with the rest the 1980s decor that feels more nostalgic than it does out of date.

After waiting a very reasonable amount of time for my order they bring it out with a free sweet tea and apologize for the wait. It couldn't have been more than three minutes.

Customers walk in and greet the staff by name and are greeted back by name as well.

Sometimes being a little country makes me...
