Lady Tron’s — Restaurant in New Albany

Lady Tron’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a portal to another world. From the moment you approach the colorful, robot-themed exterior to the moment you step inside and find yourself surrounded by aliens, space memorabilia, and galactic flair, you know this is going to be a unique experience.

I ordered the pork pozole soup, which had a subtle but satisfying kick and made great use of hearty hominy. I added a side of fried cornbread—crisp on the outside, fluffy inside—which complemented the soup perfectly.

The highlight of my meal was the daily special: a maple-infused bacon and ground beef sandwich layered with Swiss cheese and horseradish sauce on toasted rye. It was out of this world—sweet, savory, and packed with flavor. Every bite was balanced and indulgent.

Though the restaurant is small—roughly 12 seats at the counter—there’s a cozy outdoor seating area, and they do have a restroom available upon request. The atmosphere is intimate and fun, with a decor that feels like a cross between a retro diner and a sci-fi collector’s dream.

The owners were welcoming and enthusiastic, even offering local tips after learning I was from out of town. It’s the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like more than just a customer.

Lady Tron’s is open for lunch Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. Specials rotate frequently and can sell out fast, so don’t wait—just go. Whether you’re a sci-fi fan or just hungry for something incredible, Lady Tron’s is...

I love lady Trons! The food is to die for and the atmosphere is unbeatable and unmatched. I can not express this enough about how much I enjoy the food. Sadly service is 50/50 with me. There are usually two women working and the one serving the food just simply seems to not be enjoying her time or maybe she just doesn’t like me. When I came in once they asked if I wanted a sample of soup. I said not yet because I still needed to read the menu and see what soup I’d even be sampling, she said okay and walked away a short while later I asked for a sample of chicken bacon ranch soup, she sighed and then asked my friends if anyone else needed a sample while she was getting mine. After ordering our food and eating about halfway through I asked if I could purchase a ginger ale. She stopped and stared at me for a long time let out a small sigh and then grabbed my ginger ale can from the mini fridge right next to her which made me feel like an inconvenience to her.

A separate occasion I stopped in, and there was nowhere to sit packed full even a few people standing. So I walked out and went to a shop next door just walked around a bit and came back in, she looked at me and said “oh decided you wanted to be here huh?” Which again made me feel like crap because I was just trying to wait for a seat.

So unfortunately I rarely go because i feel like a burden almost every time I’m in there. But sometimes to food is just so good, I’ll take a good verbal let down for...

Lady Tron's.....so much to share, so I will start with their amazing meals. The expression of flavors, spices, and accompaniments is beyond what you will experience in the "tire restaurants." They two cuisine geniuses bring to the table the most unique flavors and food combinations ever experienced. The spice plan for each dish tells a story that only a traveled and experienced chef could offer. I am a traveled foodie and seek very unique menus and dining environments. Lady Tron's is the best I have experienced in 45 years of travel. Who would have thought you'd find these two gems in Southern Indiana. New Albany is blessed for sure. This couple is magical on the food stage!!! The food item shown was a Cheeseburger Soup topped off with a mini burger, fries, pickle, and...
