    This place was highly recommended by our Airbnb hostess. The server was an energetic young woman who lead us through the menu options. We started out with Gator tails appetizer served with a cocktail sauce. They came out hot and tasty! I had the Cajun stir fry with crawfish very good large portion. My companion had catfish grilled. I think catfish is better fried. The meal was tasty. Large side of vegetables. The dinner salad was amply sized, topped with homemade cajun seasoned croutons. The blue cheese dressing was rich, as it should be. I'd order a side of blue cheese dressing with the Gator tails next time. Dessert was bread pudding, which I found disappointing. For $8, I think it was overpriced. I like a little raisin in my bread pudding. This had no garnish, but floated in a thin milky rum sauce. I didn't taste the rum. I'd like to investigate different dinner entrees. But I would have dessert somewhere else. They had an ornate wood bar complete with a mirror. If I was a drinker, I'd hit that! Waitress made us soda water with lime that was mighty fine!

    Wish I had more time in town! The alligator bites were great, etouffee was tasty, and beer was cold. We sat at the patio and enjoyed the live music. Great atmosphere and great entertainment. Others had creole and swordfish, they were happy with their order. Great staff :)

    If I could give this place less than one star I would. The food was flavorless and did not represent what Cajun food stands for. The etouffee was more like a bland spaghetti. The gumbo was sweet and had potatoes much like a stew. (It wasn't potato salad either.) Honestly the best part was the sweet tea. Way too much money for restaurant to fall that short. I will not be back.

    Good place for New Orleans inspired food. The Gator Platter was filling, along with the Bread Pudding.

    My wife and I went to Broussard’s in Paducah Kentucky. It was an amazing experience. Friendly staff and great food. We are big fans of Cajun Cuisine. This is better than any we have ever had. Big shout out to our waitress, Megan, Thanks For all you do.

    I have dined here several times now and have always had wonderful experiences! Today was a first for my boyfriend and it was such an overwhelmingly positive and pleasurable experience for the both of us. Our server Beth B. was very kind and helpful! We definitely got dinner and entertainment with her fun, timely and hospitable service. The atmosphere is pleasant and the food is delicious and authentic! I can’t speak highly enough of this place.

    It was nice to have a decent replica of back home that I didn't have to cook myself 🤣🤣 the boudin was not cooked enough which I'm not a fan of steamed boudin anyways so I brought it home and cooked it in my grill and it was fantastic!! I was a little disappointed when I asked if they had Crawfish and the lady said they had it as an appetizer 😳 she looked confused when I asked if they had them by the pound lol but good atmosphere decent amount of food per order and our waitress was really nice and prompt!! The creole stuff they made was a little bland it should have had some sausage in it at least!!

    I had to come back and edit my post again because of experience this past Sunday night. We went on a night they were short staffed which is understandable and while the food we got was good, they were out of a lot of stuff and it took a while to get a table. We were told by the owner/hostess that we would receive a coupon for our next visit because of the wait and never seen her again. We love this place so it was hard to drop the rating like this.

    Service was quick and the food was great. The shrimp étouffée was my husband favorite, he loved every bite. I ordered the wrong thing but it was still good. I ordered chicken park pasta. I didn’t get a picture of my husband drink, the chill pill but it was heaven! My drink was some gator drink. It had rum in it and not my fav.

    Tomi was AMAZING! So fun and was right on it the entire time. When we got here they were busy, but she was always attentive. Near the end of our meal, we were the only ones in her section and she stopped to have a conversation with us, which we loved! Try the bread pudding!!! (The Bloody Mary is *chef's kiss*)

    The food was delicious. I had the Philly Steak sandwich with Cajun fries. Our waitress, Beth, was wonderful & very helpful! She made sure we were taken to care of.

    Great atmosphere, excellent service, fair prices. Had a pound of crawfish as an appetizer along with blue moon taps. We had the jambalaya, etouffee and a bowl of gumbo. This was topped off with four sugar powdered warm beignets with raspberry dipping sauce. Also a big shout-out to our server Beth! Also got to chat with Maybelle, the restaurant manager. What a great place if you like food with a little bit of spice!

    Food was pretty darn good! We're from out of town, traveling through and we're looking for something other than fast food. It's nice, clean, and we were seated fairly quickly. Apparently there are other locations but the food didn't taste like usual chain food. We ordered 2 apps, crawfish & gator tails. Ordered blackened chicken with side of crawfish etouffe & linguine with crawfish etoufee. You do have to ask for bread. I felt the blackened chicken was just slightly under seasoned (it was moist though!) I am not shy about well seasoned food. However the apps & etouffe were pretty authentic tasting. Jessie was our server and she was quick & had no issues getting anything we asked for. I didn't get great pics as we dug right into our food!

    This place came highly recomended by locals. We were a little early for the dinner run and there were only a couple other tables occupied. So, it was a very quiet atmosphere. Louder music would have been nice. The Gumbo, it was ok. The Fried Platter(crawfish, clams, gator tales) was BOMB! My buddy had the jambalaya and it was frickin awesome. We sat at the bar. Bar tender was on top of his game and ddnt fall behind at all. The manager even came by to make sure everything had been cooked and served to perfection. I recomend this spot.

    We had an absolute blast on Thursday afternoon about 2:00!! The best waitress, she explained things, kept checking on us, filled our drinks without asking!! Got our souvenirs for us & brought them to us!!! The food was excellent and I tried crawfish for the first time!! And keep the Croc booze drink on the menu!! And the Fritz’s lemonade!! Hope to be back soon!!

    Love Broussard's decor more than I'm a fan of the food, but if you're into semi- authentic Cajun this is the place. I think there's only one other place in Paducah that'll satisfy that urge/ taste.

  • 5/5 harrisconnection H. 6 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed this whole experience! Went with a group of my favorite friends and we shared the appetizer platter. First time having alligator and it was not as scary as I thought! 😆 I ordered catfish, baked potato and salad. The atmosphere was wonderful - Service was friendly and fast - spacious - perfect for our 10 count Girl's group! It was an overall lovely experience! I will definitely use this venue again! I would like to try the crab legs next time!

    Kristen was our server and she went the extra mile to help us decide what we wanted to order with it being our first time here. She brought out samples off the menu of the things that she thought that we would like when we told her the type of things that we wanted to try. There's more food here than either one of us could finish, and it was all super delicious. I don't like a lot of spice and it was just right. The waiter; Kristen even opened things for us and suggested to mix a few things together to make it all come together and taste better. Meybell spoke with my 12-year-old niece and told her she was going to make her some of her special donuts. She made those and they brought them out, they have chocolate sauce and raspberry sauce to eat them with. The donuts were as amazing as everything else we had! Definitely a place we will revisit!

    Kristen was a fabulous server! She gave great recommendations and was super friendly! The food was amazing! We came back today (a week later) and had Jacob as our server. For only being here three weeks, he did a great job! We got the half and half (shrimp etouffee and gator). My hubby and I shared and still had leftovers! We had a side of delicious cornbread! The GM, Meybell, great our table and thanked us for coming back! She had us sample a dessert that she’d been working on. It was like bread pudding sticks with the mist delicious rum warm rum sauce! We’ll be back!!

    I was uncomfortably cold, but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and service! Megan was a fantastic server. The frog legs were the best part 🤤

  • 5/5 linda J. 8 months ago on Google
    8/10/23 EXCELLENT! Tommy was an awesome server and stayed on top of anything we needed. The food was delicious. We came from Delaware to visit our dear friends in Benton and they took us here. Not one complaint. Tried fried frog legs and crawfish. I tried the chicken etouffee and it was super delicious. Thank you.

    Kristen was our server and Meybell cooked for us. 1st Kristen is a HOOT!!! Maybell came out and visited with us... what a nice crew! Food was TOPS! Etouffee, Catfish Broussard's with a side of gumbo and red beans and rice. Excellent!!! Would give 6 stars if I could. Do yourself a favor and GET THERE!!!

    My husband and I went tonight for our 48th Anniversary because reviews were good and we wanted to try something new. We were really disappointed. We ordered the Seafood Platter for two. The frog legs tasted old, the catfish was not done, the oysters weren't good. The shrimp and clams were the only seafood worth eating on the Platter. Our potatoes were hard and cold. The salad and jambalaya were good. My chill pill drink was good. Im not one to complain or send food back. I'm sorry to say we won't be back.

    Passing through and decided to stop because of other reviews. Our waitress, Misty, was very helpful and did a great job at taking care of our group of 8. We loved the etoufee, gumbo, smothered chicken and the bread pudding. I didn't particularly love the jambalaya but that may just be a matter of preference. It is a little expensive but portions are large. Would stop in again if in the area.
