Local cafe style eatery with really good food. Best homemade cream of mushroom soup I've ever had. Generous club sandwich. Medium pricing. Limited seating and hours. Our first, but not our last visit. Popular with the locals. If you're in the vicinity of Rudy Lane/Brownsboro Rd. check them out for lunch one day.Vegetarian options: Poultry and fish optionsParking: Limited close parking during peak time, but plenty of outer.

I ordered a Brownsboro burger with cheddar cheese and a fried egg with crinkle cut fries today. It was delicious. Not only was the food tremendous, the staff is very friendly. This place is a local gem and I highly recommend for anyone visiting Louisville or locals who have yet to stop by.

This is a down-home cafe with excellent food. There is no frills atmosphere with very crowded seating, but that is part of the charm. This place is loved by the locals.....as it should be!!!!Dietary restrictions: They had Gluten Free buns for sandwiches and burgers.

This place is ✨AMAZING✨!!!!!!!!! Amazing, quick, efficient service! Incredibly delicious ?! My friends and I go up all the time and all the workers are soooooo nice! I say bravo!!!!!!!
Never been inside BUT have had friends pick up to-go orders before. The first time I tacked on an order I got a BLT and it was so insanely good that I have ordered it every time since. IDK what bacon they use but it is heavenly. So crispy, salty, and thick. This is probably the best BLT I've ever had. I want it all the time LOL. I've seen their other sandwiches that friends have ordered and they also look delectable. I'd recommend to anyone in the area.

I work nearby and frequent Shady Lane or we have it ordered in for meetings. I've probably had 10-12 different menu items and they were all excellent, minus the salmon sandwich which was just average. But truly, everything else is great. Their sandwiches, salads and soups -- I commend every one of them.Carol and her team are quick, kind and friendly. It's a great little atmosphere for a lunch with a friend or even a casual business lunch.I love this little lunch spot and hope you'll give it a try!

This is the best place you can go to for lunch or dinner. If I could give this 6/5 stars I would. Me and my friend love this place, the workers are super nice and the food is to die for. Go here and get the Brownsboro burger!!! IT'S WORTH IT!

The Shady Lane is a delicious little Mom-and-Pop cafe, offering soups, sandwiches, and burgers.My favorites of their soups are Cream of Mushroom (so delicious!), White Bean with Italian Sausage, and Clam Chowder -different soups available on different days.Or try a tender burger, cooked to order. My fav is a medium-rare Burger with Blue Cheese, with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. So good. There are also various side dishes and rich, homemade baked goods.Shady Lane is open for lunch most days but only open for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays- check hours before you go.Parking: There's plenty of parking just outside the door.
