Thyme Cafe & Catering

Loved everything about this café! Atmosphere, food, drinks, dessert, Monica our server, the historical building. So glad we happened to stop in during our anniversary getaway 2 – 3 hours from home!

This use to be my fav place to eat. But the past few times we have gone it has gone down hill. The service has become very slow and my usual half chicken salad was cut down in size. Last time
We were there it took them 25 mins after getting our drink order to even come and take our order. The ribs were tuff and when I told the manager it was basically sorry but I’m not. Left a review on the Facebook page that was deleted. I’ll be going elsewhere for food and will no longer send family and friends to Thyme café.

Magnificent pizza! Comparable with something you would find in New Haven, CT. Service was top notch as well, although we visited when they weren’t very crowded.

Exceptional restaurant. Quaint lovely town of Paris Kentucky, we had a great lunch with the family. My kids had burgers and they rave they were the best burgers they have had. A bold statement. I had some of the best fried Chicken, if not the best ever. My wife had an excellent chicken sandwich lunch and excellent drinks and service. A great experience and a great lunch. Highly recommend. Special points to the hospitality the staff paid to us visiting Californians. Made our lunch that much more special. I highly recommend this place.

My husband and I, along with friends visiting in town, have eaten at Thyme at least 5 times in the past few months, and each time has been amazing.
The bruschetta is a great starter, with fresh tomatoes. The chicken sandwich is huge, and very tasty. My personal favorite is the salmon salad, which comes on a large bed of spinach, with fresh berries, pecans, and goat cheese. Absolutely delicious!
The service can be a teeny bit slow at times, but I promise you the food makes it worth it. Tip: Go on a Friday or Saturday, and enjoy live music on the patio! Guaranteed to be a great time!

One of Paris’ best. Has become one of our regulars. They have an awesome new outdoor patio usually with a band on the weekends. The food is always really good whether it’s a salad, fried chicken, a sandwich or soup. We’ve never been disappointed!

We came for lunch on a weekday. The staff was good but the food bland. Almost all the sandwiches were $ 9.50, which is a bit high for not coming with a side, so I was hoping they’d be good. Unfortunately my turkey burger was dry and they didn’t add the cucumber slaw that was advertised on the menu. We got a piece of strawberry cake to go but it was dry and I suspect old. Overall we were disappointed.

The fried chicken sandwich is so so good. The chicken is juicy and the breading is really well seasoned. I got a side of mashed potatoes which was a bit disappointing but I added ranch and salt which made it better. Speaking of the homemade ranch, it was extremely delicious. I stole a few sweet potato fries from my sister and they were far better than the potatos. Many restaurants overlook the sweet potato fries and serve them with only salt, but these were sweetened a bit with cinnamon (I think, not sure though) and they were really great. My sister and I also split the key lime cheesecake which was also good, although the crust was a bit dry.
Took the waitstaff quite a while to realize we were there since they were all in the kitchen at the time, but once we were seated the service was great!

I only experienced Tyme because they catered a murder mystery dinner at Equus Run. Honestly, it was the food and the wine that «made» the event. The show wasn’t all that good, so I was glad that I enjoyed the food.
For starters, we had a basket of warm bread, yes warm bread… for a catering company to serve warm bread as if it just came out of the oven, I was immediately impressed. Then the starter salad, it was great too. The lasagna was the main course. I usually don’t eat beef, but I took the plunge and went with it since that was it, and there weren’t any other options. The finale was the cheese cake… wow!
I will make a point to visit the café when I’m in the Paris area.

We ate here on a not busy Mon. night. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive. They were very receptive to some of our suggestions. Every aspect of our individual meals were fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. The server started the evening by bringing us a warm loaf a bread and then took our drink orders. We ordered the just right
spicy Kentucky Beer cheese, served with fresh, crisp veggies and crackers.
My husband ordered the Thyme meat lovers pizza. The pizza crust was a crispy thin crust with a flavorful tomato sauce, bacon pieces, sausage crumbles and pepperoni. It was perfect. The Swiss and mushroom burger was perfectly prepared. I ordered it with a side salad and red skin potato salad. Every item ordered was made with crisp, fresh and obviously homemade ingredients.
Will definitely be back as their prices are reasonable and the quality of the food is outstanding.

Good food. Below average service. Nice décor and large tv to watch UK ball games or other sports.
Salads are huge

This place needs better management! Service is slow and is does not open as posted! We were there at 1115 am last week and sign said open! Doors were locked and it should have been open at 1100! I understand cook is owner/​manager and she should get some training in management of a restaurant. The food is actually really good but the service is not only slow; but poor. The tables near by on our visit several months ago were dirty as there was not enough help. So, too bad –will not go back again until service improves and place opens as sign states. Sheila OK

Slow, slow and slow. We waited 7 minutes to recognized and another 4 to be seated. Then another 5 to see a waitress and another 8 to get drinks and order.
Fried chicken was amazing! Pesto pizza was good. Macaroni and cheese was cold and dry and baked potato seas not cooked.
Service came with an attitude. Not going back anytime soon.

I’ve eaten Hot Brown at the original restraunt that started the dish. This place takes it to a new higher level !

It was nice. I had the catfish, my dad had the hot brown, and my mother ha the Reuben. All of us enjoyed the food. I had macaroni and cheese. It wasn’t very. Good. It was kinda bland. But the catfish was great. The beef cheese appetizer was very good. The Reuben was very good as well. My father said that the hot brown was very rich. The service was very good, and the atmosphere lovely. Live music was in the background. And I’m a sucker for old wooden floors and exposed brick with local artwork. It was all adequately priced as well. But it’s definitely a place I can live without. It’s not something I have to come back to. Just a regular good meal. Nothing to get me coming back for more.
