We went here after my sisters graduation for a brunch. It was amazing! The staff were super polite and the restaurant was super cute. I loved the decorations and connections to Louisville. My sister got a roast beef sandwich and she liked it. Loved the bread on it. We got fried green tomatoes and beignets for appetizers and they were really good! I would order them both every time. My daughter got the kids churros for hers and loved them. They were cute and came with 6 churros. I got a regular eggs Benedict and it was delicious! My sister also got an eggs Benedict on fried green tomatoes with avocado and she liked it as well. Overall it was a great experience and we all would go back! read more

Great ambience. Adorable little cafe with friendly staff. The wait was short, but worth it. The menu is large enough without being overwhelming. Breakfast is served all day. Everything was served hot and delicious. The beignets were warm, fluffy and the caramel sauce that came with it was awesome. The turkey and Brie with bacon jam had a hint of smokey and a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. read more

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. read more

Classic. Dependable. Delicious. A cozy spot to enjoy quality time with people whether you're inside or lounging on patio seating! Here's what our crew ordered (Jan 206 priced): - The Great Southern ($15.75) - The Box Car Racer ($15.75) - Honey Chicken Salad ($12.75) - Turkey and Brie ($14.75) Most with a side of fries! These fries are the perfect "I don't even need ketchup" side item! 5 stars! Service was friendly. read more

The turkey and Brie sandwich was excellent and the other sandwiches such as the box car and the Rueben looked fantastic. I'll have to come back for breakfast because every eggs Benedict that I saw looked excellent. The service was a little spotty but I got the check in a timely manner read more

This restaurant does not deserve 1 star. I went with my family, looking forward to a great breakfast. It had always been great when I had been before. They were not busy, and we had to wait 30 minutes for our food--that was only AFTER my aunt had to ask where it was! When it finally arrived, everything was room temperature. We complained, but the only thing we got was a nonchalant "sorry". The Cheddar Box Too just lost us as customers. read more

On June 26, 2026, we decided to eat here. The food was cold, and we had to wait 30 minutes, and they were not busy at all. I finally asked one of the workers where our food was, and she went to the back. When we finally got our food, it was cold and the potatoes were half cooked. On the way out of the door, I told the waitress, and the only thing she said to me was "sorry". Well, this restaurant will be sorry, because we will NEVER be back. It was a poor excuse for waiting for the food and it was stone cold. NEVER AGAIN!! Do not recommend. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Ate breakfast here this morning and while eating my sandwich I found a PENNY in my sandwich. Luckily I spotted it before getting to that part of my sandwich but my next bite would have brought an unwelcome surprise. As if this wasn't concerning enough on its own, the staffs reaction was rather indifferent to the situation. Our server apologized but no manager or anyone from the kitchen came over to address the situation. This is a major choking hazard and just plain gross. I am pregnant and very cautious about the quality of my food right now and chose this restaurant because I thought I could trust the food I was getting to be sanitary and quality. I get it.... Things happen but when they do your response to the situation matters and this is where Cheddar Box Too failed. ADD: The power promptly reached out to me with a sincere apology for the situation and offered to make things right. I appreciate this gesture! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Of all the local brunch spots I frequent I think this place has the best pancakes and their warm syrup/butter combination makes them elite! They also sell their pancake mix and a few other items in bulk to the public. This seems to be the meeting lunch spot for the 55+ crowd because by noon they've got this place packed wall to wall almost every day of the week. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great luncheon food, good soups, eat indoor or out! If you dine outside you might see a train and will have to wait to talk because it's really close! I loved it, but it's not for everyone! It's nice and quiet inside so you can actually hear each other's conversation! read more

2.5 out of 5!! Wasn't a 2 but wasn't a 3 either. The cute fruit side was lukewarm. The eggs Benedict were ok, the poached egg were a little under on 1 of 2 eggs. The side of potatoes were only $2, and not bad. Overall it was ok, not bad but not really that great. They have a mural on the wall that looks cool though. The check came to $32 and really should of been a $21 check at max. read more

Probably the nicest people you will ever meet make you feel like you're part of the community even if you're from somewhere else. The food is absolutely delicious you will not be able to decide what you want because there are so many things that you would like to try that's all I can say the first time last week just for something different to sit outside and relax and I knew it would be I grew up with this place and it is just an awesome as ever!!!

My husband and I were hoping to grab brunch at Highland Morning, but it was a 45-minute wait, so we looked on Apple Maps for another brunch spot close by. Cheddar Box Too was the first to pop up, and we're glad it did! It may be a new favorite for us. Cheddar Box Too was busy (it's kind of small), but it was only a 15-minute wait for two people. My husband got the Kentucky Hot Brown Benedict (poached eggs, sliced turkey and smoked bacon atop an English muffin with our cheddar-mornay sauce and tomatoes), and I got the Southern Benedict (poached eggs, bacon and house made gravy on a biscuit). Both were delicious! Whatever you do, DON'T skip out on the cheese grits! The service was great, and the food came out fast. We will be back for sure! read more

Very good!!! Quick and simple menu. Did not want to substitute sides (they expressed this was due to cost differences across sides). I think adding an up charge for substituting a side would be fair. read more

Came here for the first time with a group of 5 On Sunday for brunch, there is only one table that will for over 4+ people. We waited about 10 minutes and they sat us on the deck outside and the Weather was great. Everyone ordered different items (Reuben, Ham & Swiss, biscuits and gravy, Benedictine, BLT). My friend said the Benedictine was amazing and delicious but the ham and Swiss was kind of blah. I got the biscuits and gravy and it was really good, just super heavy and filling. The service was great and this place is really cute! Would definitely come back and try more. read more

We were able to slide in to Cheddar Box Too (no wait!) last weekend and indulge-they have an amazing brunch! We each sampled something different but I ordered the stack of pancakes (what's in that syrup??) and scrambled eggs! It was very delicious and I would highly recommend going if you're near that shopping center. The price was great for the quality of food, it was $9 and I was stuffed afterwards! I hope that I can go back again soon! It's nice to go in the summertime as well-they have outdoor patio seating. read more

Have been traveling to Louisville for years & always disappoint with breakfast spots. Until now, our server was a doll, & recommended I try the pancakes, with butter infused warm Vermont syrup. I also ordered the patti sausage which was amazing. To drink great coffee & fresh squeezed OJ. If you have been searching for a great breakfast served all day, look no further, this is it. read more

Always a go to for my family. My kids first choice for breakfast family get togethers. I think they have the best pancakes in town. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. They are served with a maple butter syrup. The omelets are delicious. Great sausage patties and consistent biscuits. They always have a soup of the day and daily special. Sandwiches and salads are well crafted. Cocktails can be ordered but aren't visibly prominent. The footprint is small so expect a wait at peak times. Limited outdoor seating is available in warmer weather. The staff is wonderful and the service very accommodating. Don't get confused between the cedar box cafe in middletown (also great). the cheddar box take out (also great and just across the parking lot). Located adjacent to the train tracks its wonderful to have a train rumble by. Very highly recomended Slainte read more

Stopped here for a late breakfast with the wife. Solid sized menu and I got really fast service. My eggs benedict was pretty solid. The sauce was a bit too tangy for my liking.

First time here. I drive past it every day but now we stopped. So many reviews on here about the biscuits and gravy that I had to try it.......and I wasn't disappointed. Classic Sausage Gravy on a buttermilk biscuit. So good. Been lots of places in Louisville for biscuits and gravy but this is the first truly classic combination and I will definitely be back for it. I only ordered a half serving so I could try a couple of sides. The breakfast potatoes were done great as was the side of cheesy grits. Again truly classic style unlike most places try to do their own thing and end up hurting the flavors. It's just really nice and relaxing to just have the true flavors. If I wanted to hit them for anything it would be the tea selection. Twinnings isn't very good but they do give you unending amounts of it.......so I give them a pass on that. I'm leaving with a very satisfied feeling in my belly. read more

Our server Jenny was very nice and attentive/anticipated our needs. It's kinda small/cozy but not at all cramped feeling. It is noticably well spaced. I got the patty melt and my spouse got the turkey melt. You can really tell they have a deli because that turkey was good on it's own. The caramelized onions were not quite jammy but you can tell they were slow cooked because the natural sweetness came through quite nicely. It was a nice contrast to the richness of the buttered sourdough toast and burger patty. I saw a picture of their brussel sprouts and that's why I chose this place and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Crispy sprouts and a creamy garlic sauce. With or without the sauce it was giving. I'll do it again read more
