"This restaurant certainly lives up to its name,because there are quite a number of things holding it back. For every good thing there is at least one bad thing. First of all the atmosphere is all over the place. Part of the restaurant has upscale classy tables, then a sports bar and a massive stage for live music. Speaking of the live music, the acoustics are terrible and it's made word by blaring speakers. If I wanted a concert I certainly wouldn't be trying to have a nice dinner at the same time. As for the food you would have one good item then something pretty bad. I enjoyed the muscles in the cream sauce, and the flat bread was pretty good. However the fried oysters were butchered in the fryer and drenched in a nauseating spicy mustard. I enjoyed the short rib grilled cheese, however my fellow patrons ordered a dry turkey burger, and an ahi tuna wrap that should just be a salad, because it seemed confused. It tasted like a Tuna roll from a gas station. The theme of this restaurant is dry because the fries while seasoned well with a Cajun seasoning were dryer then the Sahara desert. They also couldn't make alot of dishes because they were missing diced clams. Any good restaurant would just use the fresh ones and dice those. Atleast we know the secret of this establishment is to use most likely canned clams. Also what bar doesn't have Malibu? Even with the decent prices, this place is still clearly sinking."

"I'm here at Strickland's,service is very slow.my first waitress brought me my drink,then disappeared,after about 10 minutes,after skipping over me several times,she brought another waitress and said she had to leave, but she is still here waiting on others, maybe I remind Remind her of someone she don't like,but I've never been here,I live in Panama City Beach FL.i come to Paducah every 6 weeks,I want come back here again.i ordered some Bienville oysters,there wasn't anything about them that was Bienville,just Parmesan cheese ,and some kind of little red dots? Nothing more than a grilled oyster.the waitress is still here,she ain't leaving?I'm dressed well,no dirty clothes or dirty face,maybe I smell,but not likely.normally I tip good,20-30 percent,but not today,maybe 5 percent,if that.well no I want do that .15 minutes later and still waiting .2 couples that came in after me has their order.(The waittess is still here).finally got my order,fish tacos,I should have went to taco bell, seriously,it was supposed to have cabbage on it,but with no exaggeration there was may a teaspoon of cabbage ,also had a bowl of gumbo,it wasn't gumbo,it was a stew with with a couple of miniature shrimp.i am a chef at a beachfront restaurant in Panama City Beach, and I realize that I am in Northwest Kentucky but this meal was terrible, and I'm sure people comes here and eats the stuff but they don't know better, probably never had real seafood. I am leaving but I did leave a 20% tip, it's not the waitress's fault for that the chef don't know how to cook. And it's probably not his fault. He's because he's probably never been trained the right way."
