G & O Pharmacy and Grill

Great burgers, chili and a Paducah staple!Please support this local business... prices and service are the best!

Got a hamburger, fries and a vanilla Coke. Total was around $9+. They were out of onion rings or I would have tried them too. The hamburger was pretty good. Had that flattop grill crust to it. Thicker than I thought it would be and wa cooked perfectly. The fries were ok nothing great. The vanilla coke wasn't a rich like steak and shake homemade vanilla Cokes. Overall decent.

Amazing food, friendly staff, and small town vibes. It's a small restaurant with old school character. Definitely a place for a quick lunch just next to the hospital and downtown. I highly recommend it!!!! My favorite is the grilled pimento cheese sandwich on rye.

This is a mostly unspoken truth in Paducah, that G&O is a great place to get an amazing, cheap lunch. As a Bentonite I haven't had chances to go. Today I made that change.I had been told by three people to either get the patty melt, or the double cheeseburger. We decided to order both and split them, to get a good overall experience.They have a full pharmacy fountain, which thankfully means we got cherry Coke, and the the real kind with actual cherry syrup! We ordered both onion rings & fries. The onions rings were browned but not burned, with a slightly sweet batter and a perfect, succulent, satisfying crunch. The fries were crinkle, well-seasoned, and both were a perfect side for the sandwiches to come.The patty melt was complex, rich with deeply caramelized onions that perfectly blended with the gooey sharpness of the cheese, and the juicy, umami flavor of the beef. It was all nestled in a buttery cocoon of rye toast that, as with the whole sandwich, combined into an experience more than the sum of its' parts. I imagine it would be a great accompaniment to a cup of their chili, or a bowl of their homemade potato soup on a cold winter day.The double cheeseburger, however, was another beast. A freshly flattop-toasted bun held within it two smashed patties of beef blanketed in melted cheese, and topped with extremely ripe tomato, lettuce, and raw onion. The beef was the star of the show, with its' crispy edges, and the juicy, savory, & umami flavors of the Maillard reaction lingering pleasantly long after the bite was no more. It was up front and center, a simple and pure burger for anyone that desires it, and one of the finest examples in the area. The most accurate assessment is that, indeed, they do make one of the best burgers in the Jackson Purchase. Which one I would choose on any given day is unknown.For dessert, there was homemade pineapple upside-down cake, the slice being reasonably sweet, and very moist, without being a sloppy mess. For $2.25, it was a fantastic end to a memorable lunch.All in all, it was a great experience. There are cheap daily specials, and I look very forward to trying their own recipe of chili, their "full house" which is two tamales slathered in said chili and covered with cheese, as well as their shakes and sandwiches. I hope this pharmacy stays around for a long time, to remind us what classic truly means.

Best cheeseburger in town and service with a smile. Nice selection of lighter menu items as well.

Great burger! Cooked perfectly. Fast service. May say pharmacy on the outside but it's strictly food.

Diner food with a lunch counter. I had a hamburger and onion rings and my wife had a hamburger and french fries. Both of them were absolutely excellent. Service was prompt. All the staff was very friendly and a cozy atmosphere. Will definitely return.
