This place is quirky, just the right kind of quirky for a little counter-top-eating-only corner luncheonette. I pretty much loved everything about it. The sandwiches look like something you'd find at a much swankier restaurant - lots of unusual ingredients and combinations. When the weather is nice, there is a picnic table or two out front, but sit inside if possible because that is part of the experience. There are lots sci-fi-ish tchotchkes to appreciate inside, from Star Wars to The Jetson to Pigs in Space. You'll have to go a few times just to take it all in. If you are pressed for time or the seating is full, there is also a walk-up window. This place is a great little addition to the New Albany foodie scene. Check it out! read more

Very small place, bit the decor and food was outstanding. The menu changes daily or every few days. If picky, check FB before you go. Do not pass on the soups. They are always great!! Do not pass on this place!!! read more

This small little place is cute and has an interesting decor. I enjoyed being able to play with toys while waiting for our food. Where else can a couple in their 40s & 50s play with toys at the counter? Lol As far as the food: Not impressed. Those were my husbands words exactly. We were excited to try this place because of the great reviews. We must have landed here on an "off day" of some sort. The grilled cheese was very strange with an odd taste I can't identify. The soup my husband ordered also had the same strange taste. There was a queso we decided to try that seriously was more like watered down cheese whizz. When i asked what the odd taste was in both the grilled cheese & soup, the young girl (early 20s) seriously rolled her eyes and laughed before walking to the other end of the counter. I'm still not sure what I said to result in that reaction... Even the couple seated next to us made a comment about her being rude for no reason. I wanted to be able to give this place a great review, but I just can't. I doubt we would ever return with so many other great options now available in the New Albany area. Our bill was nearly $40 for two people & we left hungry and with a very odd taste in our mouths. read more

What a unique and fun diner!! If you're into ScFi it's worth a visit just to take in the decorations. They have gone all out from the outside in. It's teeney tiny (maybe 10 stools around the counter) but fun! It's also not your typical diner. The menu is as unique as the decor. We started with the soup of the day. A cold, blueberry, plum with a yogurt base topped with mint. It was beautiful to look at and quite tasty. He had the smoked Gouda on sourdough toast with a cold Mediterranean lentil side. Both were really good. I had the LT sandwich. It was loose crumpled maple ground beef with queso, chipotle cream sauce, applewood bacon all topped with potato chips on a huge hoagie bun. It's huge and definitely not a sandwich you pick up. The owner and server were very friendly as well. All in all, it was a good experience. read more

I dined here on 4/27/17. You know the place must be good if I'm reviewing it the same day!! I ordered the sandwich special, Shrimp Po'Boy, and one of the soups: Lamb, white bean, tomato and mint soup. Both items were amazing!! The shrimp Po'Boy was huge!! I had to take the top bun off and tackle it with a fork and knife ( I'm trying to keep my carbs down, so it worked out for me). The sauce on the sandwich was very tasty and the shrimp fried perfectly. The soup was a beautiful medley of yum! A good balance of meat, beans, tomatoes and herbs. I do have to take a moment and comment on the decor- NERD HEAVEN. I was in love with the "Sci-Fi" theme of this place. All major franchises were represented well and displayed neatly and with pride. Word of warning, THIS PLACE IS SMALL. I love that about this place. The chairs were stools around a long counter with a max seating of about 10 people elbow to elbow. Overall I highly recommend this place and plan to go back. :) read more

This little diner is a lot of fun to visit. Everything is decked out in sci-fi themed items and even the ceiling is painted like a galaxy. Fun dining environment. The food was very tasty. I got the fried fish sandwich and he got the soup of the day. The fish sandwich was massive and very well breaded. Had to knock a star off because she forgot to cook his grilled cheese. Though they got a little busy during it all, she didn't even notice she had forgot. Great prices though for such large portions and good food. read more

After driving by this place, and then finally stopping for lunch- We will be back. Highly recommend!! We had the ambrosia soup and beef nacho soup, then shared a Leia (grilled muenster cheese with applebutter) and it was unique yet delicious! You're missing out if you dont get lunch here. Yum! read more

I really, really wanted to give this place 5-stars. It's rare you find a place that has 25 review and still a 5-star rating. Usually those places are at the top of my list and my "go to" joints. The environment was awesome. You can totally geek out and play with the toys. The staff was great and very friendly. The food, well... it was different. I had the LT, which is ground beef that was simmered in maple syrup. Really wasn't too bad, just different. Pile on chips and a decent white creamy sauce and chow down. My daughter had grilled cheese. Not the special grilled cheese, just basic grilled cheese. It had a weird flavor. She didn't like it. I took a star away because it's hard to mess up grilled cheese. Also had the queso and chips. It was more like "cheese water" although it tasted OK. I took a star for this too. If you're into weird food and adventurous I encourage you to give this joint a shot. If it had a normal "club sandwich" for the less adventurous (like my wife and daughter) I'd probably give this place another try because of the staff and environment. Ohhh, one more thing. Super clean. I mean eat off the floor clean. I almost gave a star back for that.... read more

This place is easy to miss with all the other larger restaurants around but definitely the best in my opinion. The food is so amazing, I remember the first time I order the LT reading the menu was insane, the ingredients they said were in the sandwich sounded so random and yet when I had it the first time, it was heaven. I don't live in New Albany anymore but I always try to make a trip here whenever I can. The owner is so nice and friendly too! Not much seating inside but it's just about one block over form some nice waterfront sitting for a picnic. Also I'd always recommend to get the quest dip with anything you order, it's too good to pass up and honestly, I could eat it as soup! read more

Delicious soups and sandwiches, with a quirky retro outer-space vibe. Stop by and take a selfie with LT! They play sci-fi movies on tv and funky music in the background. It's a historic itty-bitty diner; one of the few of its type left that's still being used as a restaurant. They have daily specials and do carryout. You get large portions for the price. My favorite sandwich is the Starbuck (go Battlestar Galactica! ). There is always at least one vegetarian soup and sandwich option, and sometimes vegan options are available as well. Lady Tron's is a fantastic spot! read more

I love the concept of this place, and wasn't at all disappointed walking in. Pigs in Space toys, a Chewbacca helmet that roars when the mouth opens, blueprints to the Enterprise, lots of Star Wars mugs, and more told me I was in an awesome space. The menu's list of "sandwiches" all named after prominent sci-fi women (Uhura, Leia, Ripley, Starbuck) similarly impressed. Honestly, they could've just served up a totally average, meh burger with fries from a bag and I'd have walked away happy. Instead, though, my food was superb. I had the Starbuck, which was listed under the sandwiches but was like a corn bread pancake covered in tasty polish sausage, a 5-bean soup, and delicious, really well-prepared collard greens. The flavors weren't ones you'd expect together, but they complemented each other well, as did the textures. Truly delicious. And only $7.95 when I bet a fancy place in Louisville could get away with charging $25 for this. Meanwhile, as the cook made the food, I chatted with her partner in crime, and a little bit with her too, about Muppets and other good things in life. Two lovely people, and the chef's partner in crime was endearingly super-proud of the chef. Just good people. I haven't written a review on Yelp in a while, but felt compelled to do so. This place is still new, and everyone should know about it. I wish I was around these parts more often, since I'd come here all the time. I might go back for dinner today too. read more

This place Rocks. You better be hungry cause this place make large sandwiches. If you get the soup bowl you better have someone with you. It's a true big bowl. The soups are out of the world. The sandwiches taste home cooked. If your into syfy well this is the place. read more

One of my few 5 star reviews. As stated by others, this is a soup and sandwich shop. Small unassuming building with nothing but bar stools for seating. But if it's quality food prepared with imagination, this is the restaurant for you. Short but diverse menu. My wife and I were given several small samples of soups and sandwich ingredients. After the 'tastings', my wife said "I have to have some of the Lemon Pesto Soup"! One sample was the pulled chicken simmered in blueberry molasses sauce. Tasty with a capital 'T'. To start, we split a small bowl of the Lemon Pesto Soup. My wife ordered the LEIA sandwich which is a gourmet grilled cheese. Brie and Munster with apple butter on cinnamon raisin bread. My wife said it's the best grilled cheese she's had, and believe me, she's had a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches. I had the LT Sandwich. Maple ground beef with Applewood Bacon, covered in green chili queso, topped with potato chips and Chipotle cream sauce. Wow! All sandwiches are $7.95 and soups are $3.50 for small and $5.95 for a large bowl. Coke products in cans, bottle water, coffee and tea available for $1.25. Kids meals available for $5.95 including drink. read more

I stopped in a few weeks ago, thought it would be a typical diner but I was surprised at the quality of food and the friendliness of the owners. I had a grilled cheese with several different cheeses with Gouda one of them. It was one of the best I ever had. Accompanied that with a small bowl of a type of Italian wedding soup. They both were very good and I have to come back to sample their soups and other entrees. read more

Food is good, small size is challenging if your an introvert. Coffee is excellent. The close quarters can make for great conversation with strangers if you are into that kind of thing. read more

Wonderful food in a kitschy environment. Very small indoor dining area, but they had great music playing.

Coolest diner around! It's a must go! My 12 year old son loved the soup he ordered, I absolutely loved my sandwich! The atmosphere is super cool! read more

The decor is amazing! It's a little crowded insider, but the food is totally worth it! There's no small sandwiches and the soups are to die for! They change daily, but I had the curry pumpkin and peach soup. The food may sound strange but that's just part of the charm! read more

I had done some research before I entered this unique little spot. What drew me was the comfort of sandwiches and soups. Soon as I walked in the service was so welcoming. It's an intimate setting cause there isn't a huge area to eat. It's more of a cute bar set up. I ordered the chicken curry soup, which was a perfect portion and just the right amount of hot (temperature wise). Then came the best part... ORDER the corn pancakes with sausage and collard greens, topped with black eye beans. It's a big portion but again, comes out hot and all of the flavors go so well together. It practically melted in my mouth and I was done with it in like 20 minutes. Summer, the owner, has a gem and if your staying in Kentucky- make your way across the river for some delicious food and even better hospitality. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be back. Thank you!!!! read more

Yummy food! Great atmosphere. I tried the Ridley sandwich and it tasted amazing! The Kale Spinach soup hit the spot!

I'm a sucker for themed restaurants and this little deli is just the cutest! They have a different soups throughout the week and the few that I've tried have all been delicious. Great selection of sandwiches too. It is a tiny little establishment but I think it just adds to the charm. read more

Seriously good...but also seriously adventurous lunch fare. Lots of quality ingredients goes into everything I've had there... the lima bean w/ dill soup was hearty and comforting on the cold winter day I was there. The "Ripley" sandwich was a huge serving of BBQ chicken on a large bun - and no ordinary sauce, this was blueberry/molasses sweet yummy goodness. She topped it with tart, crunchy slaw, giving the sandwich great balance on the palate. I ate every bite. Lots of great lunch spots in downtown New Albany, but Lady Tron's is among the best. read more

I can't say enough about this sci-fi/outer space themed diner! While exploring downtown New Albany, we decided to check out this interesting place. At first, I didn't have high expectations since I thought it would be your regular run of the mill diner food, but boy was I in for a treat! Everything on the menu looked interesting and had a unique twist. We decided on the LT and the Starbuck. The menu described the LT as loose maple ground beef, chopped with applewood bacon, covered in green chile queso, finished with crispy potato chips and chipotle cream sauce, on a toasted bun-YUM! The Starbuck is Polish sausage smothered in 5-bean soup and braised collard greens, on a jalapeno cheddar corn cake-YUMMO! We also tried the soup of the day-spinach, kale, arugula and tarragon-SO GOOD. We felt like we chose the more "safe" options on the menu since it was our first go around, but can't wait to try some of the more creative/unique items next time! The space may be small, but the flavors are huge! Go try this place, you won't be disappointed! They even had ET playing on tv! read more

This place was great! I used to come here when it was Lil Chef, a very greasy spoon that was open 24hrs. I was glad to see that this spot was put to good use. It's so fun and funky looking that anyone in the family can enjoy it, the robot out front adds that flair and let's you know this places attitude. There's Sci-Fi Memorabilia everywhere and a small tv playing old classics like The Last Star Fighter. I and my mother had the LT, all sandwiches names after great Sci Fi characters. It didn't disappoint. It was cheap, delicious and a massive sandwich, I had half there and half later at home. They have Daily Specials that all look delicious and a Gouda Grill Cheese that have got to go back for. read more

Oh Lady Tron's, I was so excited to try you and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED! I met a friend here for lunch and we got here shortly after they opened. And dear lord, we walked in the little storefront and I was smacked in the face with awesome-ness. There is a bunch of sci-fi and nerdy memorabilia on display and I kept seeing more and more things that I like. They have a selection of permanent menu items, but I wanted their special for the day. The Grilled Cheese on Sourdough (which it kinda looks like they have most days as a special) and the Beer Cheese soup. And yes, I when I got my food, I did dip my grilled cheese sandwich in the beer cheese soup. What goes better with cheese? More Cheese obviously. The sandwich was perfectly grilled, crunchy bread and gooey cheese, and the soup was some of the best beer cheese soup I have ever had. I only wish this was in Louisville and closer to me so I could go here regularly. read more

If your looking for a quick, interesting bite in New Albany definitely check out Lady Tron's. The interior reminds me a bit of those kitschy cafes outside of Roswell. Men in Black was playing silently on the TV in the corner and Star Wars and Star Trek memorabilia deck the walls. I had the Leia, a grilled cheese on cinnamon raisin bread. It was creamy and sweet and unlike any sandwich I'd ever had before. Only drawback is there are only about 8 seats at the counter. But on a nice day use the walk up window and eat riverside. read more

I Just got back from having lunch there and let me just say it is awesome. The unique look inside the building is great to start with but the food was what hit home for me. I ate through my Starbuck(Polish sausage sandwhich) like no tomorrow and felt really stuffed so I took my Roasted Red Pepper soup home with me to eat later today. I have nothing but good things to say about this place and its amazing service too. I hope to be back in the future to try all the sandwiches :) read more

Food was excellent but only enough seating for about 10 people at the counter. Price was too high. I paid $12 for a toasted cheese sandwich and a small bowl of soup. read more

Get the Ripley, you won't be disappointed. Soaked in a blueberry marinade of some sort. So, so good. They put it on a sesame seed bin. The bottom bun is soggy so I didn't eat that part as I have some texture issues when it comes to food, but I ate every single piece of meat and the top toasted bun. It was so good. Such a sweet chicken flavor. It kind of reminded me of shredded bbq chicken, but better. If that makes sense. I look forward to going back and having the dish again. Such a unique little place. There is a single picnic table outside too which worked perfect for our family of four. It would have been impossible to eat inside, in my opinion, because it's the two of us adults, a 7 year old, and a 6 month old. Nowhere to sit a baby. So, like I said, the outside picnic table was great. The scenery of the hustle and bustle of downtown New Albany was very nice as well. Eating dinner while cars passed, people walking by, and wedding photos across the street. read more

This is my second time at Lady Tron and again I was NOT disappointed! I had the curry lentil burger and it was packed with sooo much flavor.
