Gold Rush Cafe

About Us

We're Gold Rush Cafe' and we've been a restaurant and catering service here in Paducah, KY, since 1999. We're a neighborhood eatery loved by both locals and tourists we’ve been voted multiple times as having the best breakfast in Paducah, known for our unique dishes like bread pudding waffles, scotch eggs, and exclusive mash-up dishes highlighting local restaurants. We started this business when the opportunity arose to purchase the restaurant from the previous owner at a great deal. We have a love of food, culinary training, and a drive to provide the best dining experience possible for each and every guest. We're looking forward to growing our business to continue to serve Paducah and the surrounding areas. We'd like to personally invite you to stop in today for a patron favorite Forty-niner mac and cheese, scrumptious breakfast sandwiches, classic Monte Cristos, weekly off-menu specials, and so much more! We are an equal opportunity employer and we're currently filling positions for staff who would love to work in a fun and positive environment.

We also offer weekly off menu specials and exclusive mash up dishes highlighting local restaurants.

When you walk through our door, you will notice we have a bright, fresh approach to all your favorites, like our omelets or delicious breakfast sandwiches. For lunch, we offer lunch plates like tenders with sides and sandwiches such as classic Monte Cristo, and a patron favorite, the Forty-niner Mac & Cheese. As your neighborhood eatery, our menu is extensive, and you never get tired of ordering the same things because there is so much to choose from.

Testimonials

On 5/5/2024 Kaelyn Buurman had this to say:
This place has amazing food. Make sure to give yourself a couple hours to wait and eat. We had a 15 minute wait that turned into 35 minutes and after ordering it took us 30-40 minutes to get our food. The people are really nice but the waiting is pretty bad. They need to hire more people and open up more tables.

On 5/4/2024 DeWayne Visser had this to say:
I come for breakfast quite often and today the service and food were outstanding. The staff is running thier butt off. Half the resturant was closed due to one cook showing up. Many customers left due to the wait time. Such a great place and great food. I would hate to see something happen to this place if the owner can't get others to cook or show up himself on busy Saturday morning.

The BLFGT was delicious, and the fries were the best I've had in a long time. Staff was attentive and very welcoming.

On 4/22/2024 Maureen Staser had this to say:
What a delightful experience we had in downtown Paducah KY at the Gold Rush Café. The service was fast and hot food was brought to our table in a very timely manner. Bread Pudding Waffle with maple butter was a fantastic surprise, perfectly cooked and presented. I would definitely recommend this café and will be back.
