Oyster mushroom po boy!

The po boy was delicious! We also got Dahl soup, garlic Mac and the Indian bowl. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch! Great find while traveling! #Veganuary

Vegan gem in a small southern town

Now here in Paducah, after living out west for several years. Thrilled to have found this amazing family owned vegan restaurant in our charming downtown. 2 adults and 2 kids (the 3yo is the harshest critic)feasted on some of the best vegan dishes we've tasted anywhere. I don't care where in the country you're from if you are anywhere near Paducah KY you must visit Branch Out. The Harvest Bowl and the Coconut Shrimp Tacos that were the daily special were absolutely delicious. The above-mentioned 3yo kept muttering "yuuummm" the 8yo just ate, grinned and ate some more. Smiling, friendly staff a plus! Don't miss this place.

Delicious food in a small town

I've lived in Southern Illinois for over ten years and finally made it over to Paducah for lunch at Branch Out during our Spring Break! I had the Hearts of Palm Fish Tacos with a side of Indian Street Fries while my 14yo had the Quinoa Nachos. My 10yo had the mac'n'cheese and ate some fries that my non-vegan husband ordered. 😋

The tacos were sooo delicious, and my teen absolutely *loved* the nachos so much that he now wants cashew cheese on everything! 😆 My daughter didn't care for the mac'n'cheese much saying that it was too "spicy". I tried a bite and thought it tasted okay. Not the greatest but decent. If they toned down the garlic/spices and upped the creaminess (like the sauce on the nachos), it would probably be much better/more kid-friendly. Looking at other pictures of the Indian Street Fries on here, mine seem to have been overloaded on the spices and weren't very enjoyable. The regular fries were great, though.

We each ordered a dessert to take home and enjoyed everything. The cupcakes and brownie were probably our favorites. I didn't see that they offered milkshakes (as a previous reviewer mentioned), but maybe that's a seasonal offering. They offer several different flavors of donuts every Saturday (several different donut flavors s each month), but we arrived late in the day... and they were all gone. Like most good restaurants, Branch Out changes several dishes on their menu seasonally, so we're all looking forward to another visit this summer. 🌞😎

I’ve been eating here for many years and their food is consistently wonderful.

I ordered the seasonal coconut shrimp tacos, corn chowder, and a frosted animal cracker donut.

Pros: Reasonably priced , Fresh ingredients , Very flavorful

Cons: Some of their dishes are rotated out too often

Good food

I thought this place was good, not great. But for the options in the surrounding area, it’s the best you’ll find for sure. We got the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese which was our favorite thing we got. We also got the honee Dijon chicken sandwich which was fine but not very flavorful.

A staple

This place has been a saving grace! I’ve legit had every single item on the menu and have never once felt I was missing out on flavor and texture. I am happy to say this is the only place I’ve eaten in Kentucky where I’ve never gotten sick once. I have dairy and gluten allergies AND care a lot about animal welfare. Bonus- I’ve taken my Omni friends here and they have all had a wonderful experience here. Thank you for being such a gem 💎 and bringing so much love to the small town of Paducah

Pros: Gluten Free!!!, Restaurant AND bakery together 🧁 , Each dish and pastry is 5/5 stars

Cons: There aren’t any

Preparing menu, odd choices

Service is pleasant and choices on the menu were refreshing. However, the falafel was not made of chick peas, with no indication on the menu that it was something different. Rice paper bacon was served burnt.

Clean and healthy

Awesome place. Friendly staff. Food is healthy, not junk vegan food. Prices are good! Also. They provide silverware, glasses and real plates. That helps a lot on generating trash with disposable things.

FIIIIRE!!!!!

I grew up in Paducah and now I live in Asheville, NC. Asheville is a Mecca of vegan dining and trips home always prove to be stressful due to the lack of dining options. Not any more. This place is awesome!!! You should open a location in Asheville. You’d absolutely kill it there.

Pros: Entire menu is vegan. , Everything was deeeelish!!!, Staff was super friendly.

Cons: This place wasn’t here when I grew up here.

Branch Out makes being vegan easy

Branch out was my first true experience eating at a vegan restaurant and I was blown away. Had every option in the menu multiple times. My standards were extremely high for vegan food at this point. I soon realized as I started eating vegan food in other states that there really isn’t a better restaurant than branch out. The colors the flavors everything 🤌🏻 I’d eat there every day if I could

Pros: Healthy food and junk food , Lots of options from different cultures , Deserts (peanut butter cookies sometimes)

Cons: There aren’t any , They aren’t open 24/7, The peanut butter cookies aren’t infinite

We have eaten at many of the places on HappyCow from coast to coast.

This restaurant has the best food we’ve ever had at a plant based restaurant!!!! Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! The options on the menu included seasonal specials.
The Harvest bowl was fantastic and the Mac n cheeze was dreamy!
Dessert choices were yummy but a bit too sweet for our taste.
We’re SO happy to have found this place! It added so much to our vacation and visit to the National quilt museum.
Please open a place in Eugene, Oregon!

Listen...

Didn't expect to find a vegan restaurant while road tripping through Kentucky. Let alone a place this amazing. Vibe is great, employees were lovely. This was December 2020 that I was there. All of the food blew me and my friends away. Genuinely wish I was in the area again so I could visit. I tell everyone about this place.

Pros: Delicious , Everything , It's in Paducah, Kentucky

Such an awesome little gem in a small town!

I was visiting a friend who lives near Paducah and she said she had a special vegan place for me to try. We hiked for 6 miles nearby and went straight to this restaurant. There are so many beautiful things to choose from that we ended up getting way too many dishes, and even took some beautiful pastries home. The next day, we hiked in a different direction, and still drove all the way back to Paducah to do it all again but with a bunch of different dishes. I really wish that there was something close to this near me! There is not one dish that I did not like.

Pros: Some thing for everybody.

Cons: It’s four hours away from my house.

Unexpected in Paducah

I had to drop some things in Paducah and was pleasantly surprised to read that this restaurant existed. They have an amazing variety of entrees, sides and desserts.

I tried the kimchi pancake and the Indian street fries, an odd combination of spices but I wanted to try both, as I don't travel to Paducah often. Maybe not the smartest choices to have before 3 hours of car travel, but I gladly accepted the potential for heartburn. 😁

The pancake was about the size of my face, kimchi cooked into the batter and piled high with sprouts and rice. The Indian street fries were wonderfully seasoned with cumin, turmeric and other spices. I think my napkin speaks for itself as to the tastiness.

It's not unthinkable that I would make the 2 hour drive from Nashville to Paducah just to eat here again.

Pros: Amazing number of options, Friendly staff, Incredibly tasty and filling

Cons: Limited parking in front of restaurant
