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.

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.

Stopped in this morning & ordered the BBQ Mac Wrap and a side of fries. The waitress & food were both outstanding! Try their honey mustard, it's homemade & delicious!

On 5/15/2024 Megan Giannotto had this to say:
Oh my gosh. This is the best place we've been to in a while. I had a sampler which had eggs, bacon, sausage links, waffles and biscuits and gravy. It was all delicious. The maple mustard was to DIE for.

On 5/14/2024 Clarence Gray had this to say:
Excellent food and service the waffles are on point including the bread pudding one that doesn't even require syrup. Service was quick and friendly

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.
