Service and food are excellent. Your check out system is horrible. The poor waitresses are to busy to conveniently check someone out. The system you have in Eddyville is perfect. You need the same in Paducah.

My wife and I 7+ years ago would frequent the Willow Pond in Calvert City. It shutdown or something and kind of left a gap in our fried cat fish diet. This Paducah Willow Pond has been running for probably 2 years now and we just kept forgetting to give it a try. Well today we finally tried it and I told my wife that was a mistake because now we have to keep going back. It filled that Gap we had been missing since the calvert city Willow pond closed. The cat fish was great, hush puppies were great, they were a little small than Calvert City Willow pond but tasted the same. The restaurant is clean themed well. TVs around the room.

Food was good, hot and fresh. Had fried catfish, white beans, hush puppies, slaw and fries. Good southern comfort food. Service was friendly and fast. Clean restaurant but music seemed a bit loud.
