Starving Artists Cafe Deli - Louisville

Lyndon's best kept secret. I dare anyone to find a better bowl of soup anywhere in Louisville. All soups are good... home made... and comfort food. The Reuben is good too... but always order soup.

This place has been locally owned and operated for 11 years since its opening. The food is great, meat is good quality, and delivery is an option. Call after 2 and delivery will be there in less than 30 minutes but during lunch hours I would call ahead, they get very busy, so plan ahead : all of the soups are home made from scratch and often feature vegetables from the owners garden. My personal favorite is the Michael Jackson you can't get a chicken sandwich like this anywhere, and the smoked chicken salad... omg its awesome, I mean come on, who has smoked chicken salad? NOBODY BUT THE STARVING ARTIST.

This place is awesome for lunch. Affordable with quick, friendly service. My favs are the 'Bob Marley ' the 'Da Vinci ' sandwiches and their chili is perfect on a cold day. Great local place to eat.

Will become a regular.. I was happy to find a restaurant other than Chinese and pizza that delivers to my area. Was even happier when I got the food. Delicious! Try the soups--fresh and so good! We ordered the Ruben and the chicken salad with pasta salad (YUM). Can't wait to try the other sandwiches. Brownies were moist and tasty. So very reasonably priced.

Simple. Good.. Not sure how long this place has been there, but I found it via all of the positive votes on Urban Spoon when I found myself with an appointment in the neighborhood.<br/ <br/ I opted for the ruben special. The fries were good, as was the sandwich. Both were definately cooked for me. My only complaint is a little one. I ordered a coke thinking I'd get a fountain soda, but instead it was a can.<br/ <br/ Small place with just a few tables, but in the time I was there reading the paper there were lots of deliveries going out the door, lots of folks picking up call-in orders and plenty of regulars coming in to have lunch.
