Ev's Deli Reviews

This place has the best breakfast burritos in the city of Louisville and the nicest most caring staff that has ever served me food. Ev himself is very nice and will make sure you always get what you came for. Highly recommend

Evan and Hannah are literally the two most friendly, and hardest working people in Louisville. Amazing service, from great humans. Tons of delicious food at a more than fair price. I've had breakfast here 3-4 days a week for the last year. (And so have most of my coworkers). Evan, if you read this, please adopt me.

We stopped by Ev's today while downtown. What a great stop. Ev was incredibly kind and helpful. The food was fresh and made to order. The lobby of the building offers multiple places to sit and enjoy your food while working. Amazing prices. Large portions. Highly recommend the burrito. It's more than you need, but you'll stuff yourself with every bite! Can't wait to visit again!

Ev's is great! Need a quick breakfast sandwich, or a breakfast burrito? You won't be disappointed. The owner cares about his customers and the quality of his food.

Got the fried bologna sandwich and it was great, I will have to keep a bottle of brown mustard with me next time because the yellow mustard they put on was sad, haha. Service was really fast even with a line of people, and you can eat in the PNC lobby or (during the nicer months) the have picnic tables outside in the little park. Oh and one of the workers will...um...hug (??) every person as they are given their food. Why, i dont know but something to watch out for especially if you are not a touchy feely person like me.

Omg. I have fell in love all over again. The food is AMAZING and the owner is as amazing as the food. If your looking for a quick bite for breakfast or lunch this is the place!!! #foodie #breakfast #lunch #louisvillelove.

Awesome place for breakfast. Haven't had lunch there but there are quite a few choices on the menu. The breakfast burrito is amazing. Everything is made fresh when you order it. You can also get a card that gets stamped when you make purchases and after 10 you get a free menu item (I get the free breakfast burrito, so I'm not sure what the other options are). Evan is super friendly and quick to get your order made. You can call ahead orders and every time I did, my order was waiting for me when I got there. If you haven't been to Ev's, you are definitely missing out. Give his place a try, you won't be disappointed.

We Love love love Ev! Quick service, fair pricing, and an amazing owner who truly loves his job and the people who make it possible. He greets people with a hug, serves you with a smile , and has great daily specials. The food is delicious and he has the best tea in the area !!

Cat Box Deli is a great place to grab a quick lunch or breakfast in the downtown area. There's no space to eat in, it's just a spot to grab a quick bite, but the food is great. And the owner, and guy who works in the shop/makes your order, Evan, is fantastic! He's super friendly and always remembers everyone. Cat Box is located in the PNC building, so lots of the folks who work in there frequent the place, and you can tell. When you're in there placing an order it's not uncommon to see people welcoming each other by name and having more in-depth conversations with Evan than you would normally have during a food order/pick-up. It's great! Always puts me in a good mood to go in there and grab a bite. The breakfast is fantastic. They have breakfast sandwiches with your choice of bagels, croissants, flatbreads, bacon, ham, sausage, egg, cheese, hash browns, onions, peppers, etc. They also have cinnamon rolls and other pastries. And everything is really reasonably priced. You can get a hearty breakfast for under $4, including a drink. Lunch at Cat Box is also great. They have a daily special, which you can find located on a board inside the restaurant as well as on one outside the door, in case you're just a casual observer. I don't know the entire schedule, but I know that on Mondays the special is tacos and on Wednesdays it's nachos. I think Fridays may be BBQ pulled pork. It's an eclectic menu, ranging from salads and sandwiches, to more hearty fare like those items listed in the daily specials. They also have baked goods, like brownies and cookies, chips, soft drinks, bottled beverages, shakes, smoothies, and probably a lot of other stuff I don't know about or can't recall at the moment. I definitely recommend Cat Box Deli as a quick lunch or breakfast spot when you're in the downtown area!
