Another Place Sandwich Shop

I go for the Derby Club at least once a week and it never disappoints! I highly recommend if you work downtown. It’s friendly, fast and accommodating.

We swung by this shop as we were passing through town for a quick bite to eat. It was a treat!
Served cafeteria style, the selections seemed local/​regional, and influenced by the local culture. The Derby sandwich was wonderful, but it was the side of homemade American potato salad that really made the meal special for me.

It might not look like much from the outside, but step through the door and you will instantly feel right at home-​or at least taken back to the days of lunch trays and cafeteria lines. Make your selection from the menu board and move your tray along the line to select your bread, sides and fixins. The sandwich I selected, the Derby Club was the perfect portion and made for a quick meal. The multi level seating was fun — from the basement «dungeon» to the top floor lookout.

My sandwich was good and everyone really liked theirs in the group. However the sandwich portion was quite small, maybe a 4−5″ sub. It’s a great portion for a child. Wish there was explanation of this and a clear option for a bigger portion.
I know it’s an old building and I think they’re going for the funky old deli vibe but it just seemed dirty and run down to me. Maybe that’s why so many people seemed to take their food to go.
Also, they didn’t seem to have their act together operationally. Ordering process was slow and took about 15 min to make a few sandwiches (after placing order). Every employee seemed confused about was or wasn’t made. They ran out of all but one kind of soup by 12:15pm and seemed to react like it was normal and no big deal.

This hole in the wall was the perfect spot to pop in and grab a bite before our Louisville Slugger tour. We were pointed to the shop by a display sign on the street – successful marketing tactic! The staff (the owners I believe) were super friendly and patient with our group (we had 7 – three kids ages 3 and under). Highly recommend Another Place for a quick, fresh, healthy lunch at a fair price.

Ehhh. Maybe I missed something, but this is the most unimpressed I have been in a long time with trying a new place.
My husband and I picked this place for a quick lunch based on Unilocal reviews and it was nearby. I won’t hold the fact that this place is empty against them since there was a nearby street festival going on that may have affected their flow that day.
We walked in, cute little non-​fancy place. We both love sandwiches so we were excited. I ordered the Derby Club and my husband got the Ruben. He got some of their potato salad but I opted for chips.
Here is where things went downhill. The sandwiches… mine was… the most boring thing I have ever ordered, so disappointing. It was literally a sandwich I could make at home and wasn’t even all that good. The qualify of the meats was nothing special and the bread was not good. I was so bummed.
My husband’s ruben looked better but even he was not overly impressed, same with the potato salad.
Thankfully, the meal was cheap or I would have been upset. I guess this could appeal to people who work nearby and need a fast lunch and are too lazy to simply make a sandwich at home? Sigh.
Also, they have a sign that boasts they have been in business 30 years, 20 years at that location. Why aren’t there more reviews?

Hard to beat their Reuben and Burgoo. This place may not be the best on the eyes, but they make a mean sandwich and soups. Everyday has a special, but always have soups. The sandwiches are all made while you wait, kind of like Subway, but better.

Very friendly and nice staff, love the shop itself but I don’t think I’ll be coming back. Not very big portions, potato salad taste like just flat pickles and it’s kind of grungy and dim lighting. Not a lot of toppings for sandwiches. Not to impressed.

Good sandwich! I ordered the derby club and I like the way that they toast your salami and make it crispy.

Stopped in for lunch. This is a great little sandwich place. I love the atmosphere. The food was great and filing. The flavors were awesome. Best part was the prices. Can’t be beat for what you get. I’m coming back!

What do you do when you are traveling with exchange students and have to find a place for lunch? Stop at a friendly place like this! It takes time to read a menu and translate and explain various foods to foreign students. The people here are kind, friendly, and patient.
There are many regulars who eat there and are addressed by name as they come in.
Food is good American deli food. Nice fresh made sandwiches. Our students really enjoyed the split jumbo hotdogs stuffed with sauerkraut. I had a nice Reuben, and my wife got the «Piled High.» Sandwiches are not as big as a New York Deli, but fair priced.
Definitely will stop by again the next time we visit the Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum.

We stumbled upon this place looking for a place for lunch. I had the chili dog. My wife had the Chicken Salad with a side of potato salad. The Potato salad was TOP NOTCH. The Chicken Salad was good. The Chili Dog was good. Nice little place to grab a bite to eat and had great options and prices. Would definitely go back

For those looking for quiet lunchtime solitude with free wifi, let me recommend Another Place. One of the main draws for me is the ample space without all the loud music you might find in other places.
Foodwise they offer a good lunch menu, which includes hotdogs, which seem to be popular, Reubens, and an array of other sandwiches and daily soup options. Recently my usual has been the Derby Club sandwich. It comes on a roll or on wheat, with turkey, cheese, and salami. The thing is that they fry the salami till it reaches a bacon-​like crispness. This added crunch makes the sandwich. The chili is good, and I usually pick up a cup along with a sandwich. Their burgoo is also good, although there have been times I thought someone went heavy on the salt.

As other people have stated its serviceable food but nothing to write home about. The chicken salad is ok…
The fresh fruit was the highlight. The mix at the time of eating was grapes, melon and pineapple.
The quality and portion size could be better.
The staff is friendly.

Not a bad place by any means and the staff was very friendly. The food… just ok. It was a sandwich like I could have made at home. But, I will say, it was cheap for lunch downtown. Only $ 4 for a sandwhich isn’t bad at all. All in all I would go back for the sake of taking a walk (4 blocks from my work) and saving some money.

My significant otter and I were enjoying a Saturday of museum hopping in Louisville and realized we were both really hungry as we hadn’t eaten breakfast. He remembered seeing a sign from our hotel (21C) for this little sandwich shop and suggested we see if they were open.
Their menu looked straightforward and we each ordered sandwiches (they also offer hot dogs and salads). The woman who took our order was friendly (I gotta say, Louisville, everyone we met on this trip was an excellent ambassador of your city) and suggested the otter try a «Derby» sandwich as he was indecisive.
I like the atmosphere in the place. Booths divided under canopy-​like structures. We each got sodas and a bag of chips to round out our meal.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the bread was toasted. I got the roast beast and it was delicious. It tasted more like pot roast. The otter liked his Derby sandwich.
If you are touring any of the nearby museums, go here for lunch.

So… my office is a hop, skip and a jump away from this sandwich shop. Otherwise it might be another sandwich shop. But I’ve got to say, I’m happy this is the one I got. It is somehow a pretty well kept secret. There are always people there (because it’s good food), but there are never more than a couple of them in front of me in line. I dig that in a work lunch spot.
Many of their sammiches and such are hot and tasty off the griddle.
You can get a multitude of sizes, so feel free to check out 2 mini subs for a mini price.
Grab a breakfast muffin or piece of fruit for a side.
Never hit 10 bucks.
That spells win for me. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean. In a hurry, grab a bite here. Between this and Main St Eatery, you’ll be well taken care of downtown.

Hey guy who just toured the Louisville Slugger factory and your three kids are whining about wanting a sandwich and dragging their feet and smacking each other with their whacking sticks. Don’t settle for the Subway across the street. Another Place is around the corner and is mighty decent.
Plenty of pretty good hot or cold sandwiches for about $ 4 – 5. Fast service, cafeteria-​style. Friendly service. Free wireless. Different soups daily, salads, and sides beyond bagged chips or fries.
Strictly speaking, there’s nothing memorable. But there are no regrets here either, and for the location it’s a nice option for anyone wanting a quick bite.

This place is close to the Louisville Slugger Museum yet it doesn’t scream tourist. Actually, I think only my group and one other couple were tourists; the other patrons seemed to be local and on their lunch break.
The food is good and reasonably priced (I think? Not sure because I cannot compare to other Louisville sandwich shops). The seating is weird at first but it’s quick to figure out. There’s more upstairs, where we sat, that’s quiet and private. The staff, knowing we were from out of town, were amused and a little prideful but it was all in good fun. They made suggestions and took their time with explanations.
It’s a small-​ish little restaurant but it’s very comfortable once you get the feel of it. If you’re waiting for the next Museum tour to start, grab a bite here. You won’t regret it.

This is a great little spot to grab a good sandwich, cup of soup, salad, or all of the above if you’re really hungry. I’ve visited several times, and each time I’ve tried something different. White chili, cheesy potato soup, the skater (turkey and roast beef sandwich), and the chocolate chip cookies.
The first time I visited I was a little intimidated by the gigantic chalkboard menu, but luckily I was able to find my way to the good stuff! If you work anywhere near 7^th and Main, it’s a great place to walk over to and grab a quick bite. The service is always excellent and I’ve never had to wait in line more than 5 minutes or so.
