The Cheddar Box Cafe

It was super busy for a Tuesday afternoon, but the food was very tasty. The service was good. Had to wait a but to be seated. But it was set up very nice with the store & take out on one side & sit down eating on the other

I honestly don’t know if there is a lunch place that comes close or compares to The Cheddar Box! This has been a favorite local lunch spot for a long time and it deserves more than 5 stars! I’m not sure what their secret recipe is, but the food is on fire 🔥! You have to order the sweet tea when visiting, best in town! My go to lunch is the tomato artichoke soup as the honey pecan chicken salad. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Chicken salad was OK. The service was absolutely marvelous! They close early, and the dining room closes at 3 ish. Their cakes made my mouth water, and my gallbladder hurt. Super nice customer service, especially by the beautiful twins and girl in the back.

It is rare that you find a restaurant where the food is so good that you begin plotting when you will visit next before you leave. Everything is delicious from the pies to the salads to the quiche to the sandwiches... EVERYTHING. The locals know, this is the place to eat.

This place is already awesome! But what happened today I will never forget. I go here at least once a week or more because they always have delicious, tasty, fresh, new and fun things from lunch to dessert! Just saw this “Chutney Bacon Toast” today for example (pic). The staff is so friendly and inviting! Speaking of, another co-worker came up to me and said, Megan who sees me frequently, told me that this week part of a gift to give back is each employee is allowed to give gift a meal to a customer of their choice. I couldn’t believe it when they told me my meal was FREE! It truly made me feel really good! I always give to anyone and everyone whenever I can in anyway I can and to receive it back was very touching! Thank you again so much staff at the Cheddar Box Cafe and Megan! Happy holidays! Happy New Year! And see you soon!

No surprises here! No, wait, although that's not always the case with this busseling little hot spot. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. The food was served quickly from a menu that gives you a well-rounded selection for lunch. The food was fresh with generous portions. The staff were attentive to our needs. Dessert was offered, but none order; I can't imagine why.. It is all so delicious. Checkout was a breeze. I'll be back soon.

Awesome awesomeness!
Can’t say anything bad about this place
Must visit locals favorite.

Love the place! I go there for lunch often. Love the tomato artichoke soup. I grow tired if the tomato basil that everyone else has. Can't go wrong with any of the chicken salad choices. Don't leave without dessert.

Thank goodness I don't live close to the Cheddar Box Cafe, because I would eat there for every meal. Don't be alarmed when the parking lot is full and you can't find a space, just be patient because it's worth the wait - keep driving around looking for a spot. I dropped in today and got meals for several days, like a huge portion of delicious Lasagna, the best honey pecan chicken salad you'll ever have, and Cheesy Stuffed Chicken and Chicken Almond Crunch are my favorites. Times are tough with staffing, and you couldn't tell it today by the quick and friendly service. Even if you have to wait a few minutes - it's well worth the wait. I have never had a bad experience here. You are missing out if you haven't tried this amazing spot and of course - the Cheddar Pecan Torte! I guarantee you'll love it or I'll eat whatever you order. This is a top 20 food spot in the state and possibly the region!

The food is always great and so is the service. I used a gift card today and it was declined and I was so embarrassed but the girls at the register were so patient and nice. They didn’t make me feel out of place and in todays society I appreciate that more than anything. Thank you Cheddar Box Cafe…

One of Louisville's best restaurants! I had the opportunity to enjoy lunch again today at the Cheddar Box Café. The food is always fresh and many wonderful flavors. The best part of our lunch was the staff, in both the café and the deli. The are very friendly and helpful. If you go be sure and try the cornbread salad and the tomato artichoke soup. We also stopped by the deli to take a few favorites home. Today we grabbed a piece of strawberry cake. Delightful.

We enjoyed a tasty lunch of chicken salad, soup, and pasta salad. They get very busy for lunch and parking can be tricky, but it's a popular lunch and deli spot. Be sure to check out the deli and dessert selections.

Small, quaint restaurant. Walk-ins only. Short wait time. Tables only, no booths. Fast, friendly service. Lunch only w/ delicious options. Best BLT I've ever eaten. Attached deli, also having scrumptious desserts worth taking out. We usually take home a cold portion of lasagna for a shareable, evening meal. A single, one-toilet restroom. No alcohol. Parking can be a challenge. We still enjoy it often.

Recommended by a very friendly shop owner we were delighted by the service and the food. Since we were visiting it's nice to have a local share a great place to eat with us. Yummy and Goooood are accurate and the artichoke soup was to die for. A wait to be seated? Yup and would wait again. I wish we had a Cheddar Box Cafe in Denver.

This is a favorite stop for me. They make me the best Arnold Palmer's in a big Styrofoam cup to go when I'm ready to head out. Food is great & always a crowd at lunch. Everything is great & fresh. Desserts are heavenly. Cheese dips and spreads are great to order for parties. Portions are big which makes it great for sharing. Table service seating and order off the menu or deli style service. Both options are great but more of a variety on Deli side.

Excellent choice of dishes and some already prepared for take out. Awesome desserts. Love the ice tea

Nice little boutique cafe/bakery. I got a chicken salad sandwich on marble rye. They have a few choices of chicken salad and I had a sweet tooth. It was VERY good and the portion was sufficient. We popped over to the little bakery part for dessert. Very nice.

Quick to be seated, even during lunch hours. Waitress was prompt and friendly and most importantly the food was delicious. I had the BLT and it was loaded with bacon. I got a side of the pimento cheese which I ate with my Sun Chips. Will definitely be back soon.

Super service - Mister Calvin very helpful waiter! Stopped in after tour Churchill Downs very informative and the cafe looked very inviting and comfortable place to take a short break. Salads were very generous in portions and was very good. We tried an appetizer of breaded wonton Kentucky Ham was interesting warm and good too. The Derby pie was good...

I have heard great things about this place and finally got this chance to try it out! Delicious food, friendly service and a clean, cute dining area. It was busy but they were quick without rushing us. I will be back.
