"I ate there last week for the first time and I loved it. I didn't have high expectations with the place being inside the mall, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a Dirty Dog - footlong beef hot dog with chili and cheese - and it hit the spot! My husband got a Chief - beast of a burger - 3 patties, hoagie bun - he got grilled mushrooms and onions and that thing was HUGE! And get this....he burgers have bacon IN THE PATTY!! We both got their homemade fries, Station fries, and those were delicious. I got a a Mikey Mike's blackberry lemonade to drink and he got a strawberry shake, neither one disappointed. They actually shake the lemonade right in front of you and throw it up in the air, it's super cool. The place was busy, but none of the folks working seemed stressed or bothered by the level of business. My favorite thing was the look of the place. They had hundreds of pictures lining the walls of local first responders. I spent so much time checking out all the pictures and patches on the wall and I'm sure I didn't even get to see all of them. The place definitely has a community Spirit and a family atmosphere. The husband and wife that run the place are adorable and seem to thoroughly enjoy working together, you can tell they definitely make it a fun place to work. We will be back every time we are in the area. This is one of Paducah's best kept secrets and I highly recommend."

"Had a great experience. Jessica took our order and explained the menu and options so thoroughly and well. The prices were affordable, the classic bacon station burger with cheddar was delicious, perfectly cooked and dressed, and we got the classic hand shaken lemonade half sweetened and it was some of the best lemonade I've had. Thanks for a great experience and honoring local heroes in this community! Would love to come again."

"Stopped here on way to Nashville. Decent little burger place in the Kentucky Oaks Mall. Took a bit to get the food but it tasted good. Three of us ate here and all had similar reactions. Place was a bit smokey but it sounded like they had some issues with the ventilation system. Al in all ok. If I could do half stars I'd probably say 3.5 stars."

- Chris H.

"The line at Chick Fil A was a bit long, so we decided to go here. No regrets. Jessica was such a fun cashier to chat with and Mikey Mike's Lemonade was exceptional. Thanks for being a great stop on our road trip!"

- Michael F.

"We got the chef burger. It's supposed to be 3 patties on a hoagie roll with whatever toppings you want. The patties are a mix of beef and bacon, very tasty. The burger was good and it's not terribly expensive for what you get. The issue here is the service, the staff doesn't really know their menu and prices. The dining area is covered in pictures of service members, very fitting with their name."
