I was running errands in the area and stopped in for lunch. What a great spot! The menu had a lot to choose from including signature sandwiches, soup of the day, salads, burgers, chicken sandwiches and desserts that looked fabulous! I had a fried chicken sandwich and fries. The chicken breast was a generous cut, breaded fresh and fried. The crinkle cut fries were done with a slight crunch and a nice potato flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by a visit from a regular guest named Henry, who was well mannered and comfortable at my feet. It was a perfect experience. Can’t wait to go here again!

This is definitely a Gem! I started going last week and went 3 times. I order as much as I could think i could eat. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was Benedictine & Bacon it wasn't nasty just not my speed. It's a acquire taste. There are options for gluten free because I don't eat bread, wrap or in a bowl. The chicken salad was good and the grilled pimento and bacon was cheesy good. In the picture is the salmon burger, chef salad which is flavorful without dressing and the tuna melt on gluten free bread. All of them is 10/10. Customer service is 10/10 she is super nice and learn my name fast. She greets you when you come in. Definitely come early because the lines get long fast and they get busy.

Hubby and I were trying Shady Lane for lunch 10-1-25. We both had cheeseburgers and FF We also got to meet Henry a big beautiful pup that visits regularly i think. Our food was very good so we went back for the baked turkey sandwiches 10-2-25 which we both dressed with our favorite toppings. Again it was very good and seating outside was perfect on a beautiful day. Several things we wanna try on the menu including some delicious looking desserts, so will definitely be back. We are from Spencer County so it is a good ways to drive. It’s worth it!

This cute lunch spot is open for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings, and I dropped in for dinner Saturday. I asked if their Granny Smith salad could have a salmon patty on it rather than chicken, and the friendly owner was courteous to accommodate my request, which turned out to be delicious! Shady Lane has its regulars for good reason; the staff are courteous and helpful, the ambiance is filled with character (including a 1958 picture of Marilyn Monroe eating a hamburger at a 1950s style drive-in restaurant), and the food is delicious. It's a perfect casual date spot or for dining alone. As for me, I sat next to the Marilyn Monroe picture and fantasized. Ha! I'm glad I stopped in for dinner. Whether it's dinner or lunch when you visit, I hope you will enjoy your meal and the Shady Lane Cafe atmosphere, should you decide to dine in rather than take out. Everyone I saw dining in or picking up to go orders had smiles on their faces. I now know why. Terrific service and food.
