Biscuits and gravy bowl.
Joe B.

We have always gone to the Cheddar Box on Shelbyville Road and assumed that the menu would be the same. Not so. Not that it was bad but it is different. After being seated, given water and a menu it did take several minutes to order. Fortunately they serve breakfast all day and after an earlier doctor's appointment we were able to get a good meal and very good service. Initially I overshot the restaurant and had to go back as it's near Paul's Fruit Market in a strip mall. By the time we left the place was packed. So the locals in the neighborhood seem to flock to the Cheddar Box Too. I do like their biscuits and gravy bowl. It's probably the best I've had since the late lamented Lynn's Paradise Grill went out of business.

Three Egg Omelet

Enjoy coming here when I'm in the area. There is usually a small wait but there are some shops not too far away that you can browse while you wait. The food is home cooked and fresh and the service is friendly.

If you want breakfast and the person you are with wants lunch this is a great spot! Both parts of the menu have great flavors and options. Smaller spot but they get people in and out quick fast. Parking lot makes it easy to find a spot. Ambiance leans into Louisville with art and photos.

Bluegrass Benedict
Queenie W.

Great food, excellent service and the place was laid back and they also have outdoor seatings. The food had excellent flavor and our server was on point. Will definitely be back.

French Toast

A friend and I went for lunch at Cheddar Box Too today. The restaurant is small and cute with a few outdoor seats. The food was excellent but it took us a long time to get our order. The waitress finally came up to us and let us know they lost our order. I also ordered hot tea and needed more hot water, but no one ever came over to check on us. I ordered the French toast with a side of sausage. It was so tasty that there were no leftovers. Hopefully, the service was a one off experience.

Fried green tomatoes and orange iced tea
Amanda S.

Stopped by for an impromptu brunch on a Saturday afternoon and we either lucked out or this is a best kept secret! The staff was super friendly as I walked in and told me they'd be right with me. They cleaned up a table real quick and seated my within 5 minutes I ordered the fried green tomatoes as I waited for the rest of the crew to find parking and join me inside. I ended up ordering the chicken salad sando with a side salad. Friends ordered pancakes and eggs Benedict. The pancakes were delicious, I snuck a couple bites...sadly, didn't get to try the eggs Benedict. Though we sat inside, the outside patio looks very nice and I would love to return and enjoy eating outdoors. Great spot for weekend brunch or weekday lunch!

Spinach salad with grilled chicken
Kyle E.

Today was my first time patronizing Cheddar Box Too! I always thought the only location was the original Cheddar Box, but I was mistaken. I don't know how I missed it, it's right at the entrance into Chenoweth Plaza. From the outside it looks like a very small building, but there is surprisingly a lot of seating inside. We arrived before the lunch rush and were immediately seated and provided menus. Everything looks delicious, but I chose the Spinach Salad with blue cheese crumbles, warm bacon dressing and added grilled chicken. Service was good and they kept our drinks refilled! We both ordered salads and it didn't take long to get our food. The spinach salad was a great portion with lots of spinach! Toppings were generous but didn't overpower the salad. Dressing was on the side, which I love. The grilled chicken was plentiful. It was a great salad and I'd definitely recommend in the future. My friend had the grilled chicken salad, which has a southwest salad dressing that looked good too. It's a little pricy for a salad, I think mine was $18 and some change after adding the chicken, but it was a hearty portion.

The Kentuckian Burger
Deb M.

Had a fantastic lunch today at the Cheddar Box Too. The restaurant is small but bright and service was great! Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and kept our drinks full. I had the Kentuckian Burger. The burger was enormous. The burger was juicy and flavorful, sitting on lettuce, a fried green tomato topped with pepper jelly, caramelized onions, pimento cheese and bacon jam. The flavors meld together in a sweet and savory bite. Give this burger a try, you won't be disappointed. On a side note the burger comes with raw onions we substituted them for the grilled onions.

Garden press sandwich, tomato artichoke soup, Cobb salad
Rosa H.

Sweet spot for lunch. It closes at 2:30 so dinner is not an option. Loved the fresh sandwich, soup & salad! I will definitely want to go back for lunch meetups!

Kentucky Hot Brown Benedict
Natasha P.

Definitely one of the best biscuits and gravy in the city It is however, a bit overpriced for your portions. The hot brown Benedict lacked flavor but I feel that way about all hot browns so it is not partial to cheddar box The service is amazing and the staff is always kind.

Childrens pancake
Rob K.

Great little restaurant! The open early (8:00 am) so when you and your baby wake up, you have time to give them a bottle, get in, get seated, and order before they realize they are ravenously hungry. Fun kids menu, see the Mickey pancake pic attached. Jenny served us and was awesome. She gave great recommendations and patiently went through the menu. Per her recommendation, I got the biscuits and gravy! Excellent choice! Soft homemade biscuits with excellent white gravy mixed with Purnell's sausage! I'd strongly recommend. It was so good I forgot to take a picture! Arguably the best biscuits and gravy I've had in a LONG time. Don't shirt change yourself, get the full order! We tried the French toast, it was good. But not world changing. The pancake, well let's just say there was a dad tax for my son. I'd also recommend you collect an excise tax when feeding your little ones. The syrup is a warm mixture maple syrup and butter, can't believe I didn't think to do that at home! Definitely worth a try and we will most likely be back!

When we came here we did not realize that Proof on Main is a not only a wonderful restaurant/bar but also a 24/7 free museum. You can order drinks and then walk through the exhibits. We just opted to eat breakfast first. As soon as you enter, you are standing in a colorful and fun art museum. The walls are adorned with many different types of art from living artists. The staff also encourages you to walk through the dining room and if able they will walk along as your own private docent, explaining a lot of what you see. We had to pause the dining room and bar exhibit tour for a short time to have breakfast which included: - BREAKFAST SANDWICH - Scratch Biscuit, House Sausage, - FRENCH TOAST - Ricotta, Strawberry, Pistachio - BISCUITS & GRAVY - House Sausage Gravy, Sunny Eggs, Chili Crisp Scrambled Eggs, Melty Cheese, Hash-brown - STEEL CUT OATMEAL - Spiced Apple Butter, Apples, Candied Walnuts I will not go items by item but I will say that everything was so perfect-tasty-fresh. The portions are very robust here and I am sure no one goes aways hungry. They have a lot of unique twists on items as you can see by the menu we had. After breakfast, we resumed our tour of the main floor then the basement. It's hard to describe just how large the viewing area is and all spots within the area are used for some kind of art display... Even the bathroom. Everything is so unique and I tried to capture a fair amount of it in photographs and information about the piece as well. This too should be a must visit if your in the Louisville area. Set aside an hour or two to stop in and relax with some great food and art. KUDOs to the team at Proof on Main.

Enter street level Grady Hotel lobby and can proceed down the hallway straight ahead to an elevator or head to the right to a flight of stairs. Check in is at base of the stairs and reservations are available. I chose to be seated at the bar and seating was fairly comfortable, although bar height was a bit high. Service is phenomenal. Both bartenders were welcoming and personable and checked in multiple times without being intrusive. I tried one of the featured cocktails, New Sparrow, and it entailed one of my favorite things -- a chef's butane torch -- which enhanced the rosemary sprig. The drink was fantastic and well balanced. I selected the seared swordfish entree nestled on a bed of couscous and with the addition of arugula, orange glaze, roasted tomato medley, and almonds. The highlight was the couscous, as the fish was slightly rubbery. Restaurant is lovely and overall seems to be a hidden gem. Nice ambiance, relaxed, and cozy. Well worth a visit and plan to return to try other interesting menu items touted by past patrons.

Waiting area was full and standing room only when we departed an hour later. Noise level was moderately high and exacerbated by the extremely loud piped in music (Guns 'n Roses, C & C Music Factory, Shania Twain, Blackbox, Tracy Chapman). It was so unbelievably loud that we asked our server if it could be lowered since he had to lean over our table and say "What?" several times when taking our orders. To add further perspective, we were seated at a round table for 6 and he was standing next to us. It was lowered slightly after this, but still not conducive to conversation at a normal volume. I tried the chèvre fig salad, which was fantastic. It included crispy radish discs, squares of chopped fig, crunchy almond, and punctuated with 3 crunchy coated creamy goat cheese balls. I also selected a side of crispy Brussels sprouts, which were very greasy and small portion. My 5 dining companions tried burgers, seafood sliders, a mushroom Philly, truffle fries, sweet potato fries, and cola, tea, wine. Everyone was satisfied and complimentary of their choices. Will likely return.

My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came here two Fridays ago ahead of a bourbon tour (thinking, correctly, that we should probably have a hearty meal beforehand so we didn't end up face-first in a gutter somewhere). Several Kentucky natives told us that we had to try a Hot Brown during our visit, and since it was literally created at the Brown Hotel, this seemed like the logical spot. The actual Hotel has some gorgeous interiors, especially upstairs in the lobby. We didn't see that area until after our meal, so when we laid eyes on the Lobby Bar & Grill, we knew immediately that that was where we SHOULD have gone for this Hot Brown dish. J. Graham's, I'm sorry to say, doesn't have the history and personality of the rest of the building and just looks like a generic breakfast spot you'd find in any hotel. It probably exists solely because the other dining options in the hotel aren't open until later and they want to give tourists and their own customers a place to eat at all times of the day, which isn't a terrible reason in my book. But it's also unfortunately not very good, and the dirty walls and overall meh appearance of the establishment just make it very clear that the hey day for this hotel overall was decades ago. The service was the biggest miss here. Our waitress was scatterbrained, often not around or around but hanging out with co-workers or talking up other customers. It was honestly pretty mystifying because when she DID come by, she was often overly apologetic and trying to make amends. But the best way to make amends is not to have to keep doing that throughout the meal. She forgot my friend's coffee (didn't write anything down when we ordered, which is fine if you remember everything but...) and when my chum asked what was in the hummus (one of just three apps), she didn't know and had to go ask someone in the kitchen. That's arguably a nitpick and she DID try to figure it out, but the lunch menu is pretty small and it was a little odd that her menu knowledge was that limited. The bigger problem was that we were in there for over half an hour longer than we wanted to be because she wouldn't come by our table. I actually actively looked for her on the way to the bathroom so I could remind her to come to our table, but instead found her off to the side gossiping with other staff. Not a good look at all. So this might have been an overall positive experience if some of the hospitality from the hotel had spilled over here. We actually both enjoyed the apps, which were the only real positives of the experience. The Bourbon Barrel Fries and the Two Timer, featuring Smoked Bourbon Hummus (bourbon tends to be the theme of your days in this town, I've found) were both really good, and I probably ate more of those than the actual entree. The fries were cooked perfectly and were well seasoned/addictive. The Hot Brown was fine for what it was (we split it to try). It's basically a dramatic turkey melt, with slices of turkey coated in cheese and other sauces. It also came with strips of bacon on top, which on a personal palate level I didn't think really helped the dish so I barely nibbled on those. It's definitely a solid entry but it wasn't mind-blowing for either of us. Maybe it's just from where we come from in the Northeast, but I'm conditioned to like my turkey with accompanying stuffing, and usually in the latter part of November. I think it felt kind of weird to be eating turkey with warm cheese. But I'm glad we tried it and got the context at least. You might have a completely different experience with better service, but I'd still recommend going upstairs for any dining. It's a much better atmosphere and you can really appreciate where this hotel fits in the chronology of Louisville. You're not going to get that from going here.
