Wonderful drive-in experience! Rueben and fries were excellent- corned beef flavorful with spot-on ratio between kraut and dressing. Fries and dill pickle were crispy.
BBQ Tater Tots blew my mind! Starnes BBQ, bacon, peppers and cheese sauce over crispy tots! It wasn’t saturated with sauce so the tots maintained their structure. It was delicious!
Can a shake be too thick? This one came close! Shake was tasty and creamy.

We got lunch here Sunday afternoon, October 26th. The food was horrible! The fries that were served to my friend and I were old; it was obvious to us both that they weren’t fresh. The burgers were bland; the tea was sour, but to the cashier’s credit, he allowed it to be switched out for lemonade. The one redeeming quality: the historic, framed pictures; they were ones that I had never seen of famous celebrities like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.

We ordered 14 holiday meals.. Parkers did an excellent job preparing and organizing the meals. They were absolutely delicious and more than enough! Wow! We were blown away by all the goodness that was included! The staff is amazing.. so friendly and helpful! Everyone’s bellys were stuffed and as the planner of this meal for our company my heart was so full to support local and have everyone happy!

We love stopping on our cross country drive to visit family. This time it was five minutes to closing but they took our order. Our burgers were awesome… fries hot with crispy edges. Shake so chocolatey! Awesome! Thank you so much for making it special for us.

This was my first experience here. My husband and I went for lunch, got a couple burgers with fries. I had a soda, he had a malt. It was over $50 for our order, my husband did get the bison burger. The burger patties were thin, the toppings were not great, buns were larger than the patties. Fries were good. Service was ok, not what I would expect at a drive in. We will not be returning.

Loved the atmosphere! A great throwback to the 50’s diners. The Cheeseburger in Paradise even came in a wire basket shaped like a guitar!! Food tasted fantastic and those Fried Pickles were delicious. Points off for the burgers not being fresh patties. This would have completed the nostalgia of a 50’s Diner. It’s worth a try and we’ll definitely be back.

We recently visited Paducah, Kentucky for the first time. We live in Louisville and would rather get out of town on Derby weekend, so this year it was Paducah. After doing some record shopping we asked “Where’s a good place to go for lunch” and there was a unanimous “Parker’s” from standers by. It was also, literally, about 3 blocks away.
There’s a menu board mounted behind the counter and they can hand you one so you don’t have to squint your eyes to see all they have to offer. And this menu is ENORMOUS
Parker’s is a very cool throwback to the car hops of the 50s and early 60s. You can order outside on the speaker or go inside for the full-on experience. The inside is decorated with movie and music memorabilia and neon. Lots of neon. If you’re eating inside you order at the counter, they give you a number, and you find a seat. The menu is hand-held/bar food. Burgers, hotdogs, onion rings, and fries, and a variety of sandwiches and a HUGE selection of sides. My wife had a mushroom and swiss burger, I had your basic cheese burger. Our sides were onion rings and fries.
Our food was delivered hot, fresh, and accurate within ten minutes. My wife’s burger/onion rings came on a basket shaped like a guitar. #AWESOME!!
The food was tasty and delicious. I asked for tomato on my cheeseburger and they were able to add it, but was sliced probably 3/4 of an inch thick! It made the burger look a little lopsided, but it was still good.
The staff was friendly and didn’t look at me funny when I asked for a side of mayonnaise for my fries (yea I’m that guy).
The dining room was authentically decorated, like I said, with vintage movie and music stuff down to the chrome chairs and the soda fountain seat with silver, twirly seats…even the floor tiles were like something you’d see in a movie from the 50s.
Our first visit was a great experience and we had a lot of fun despite unrelenting rain. If we get to Paducah again, Parker’s Drive In is definitely our lunch destination.
