10 Uber Eats restaurants to order from in Louisville

You can't come to Louisville for the big race and not eat a hot, cheesy slice from Derby City Pizza Co. This locally owned joint offers the usual combinations along with a handful of specialty pizzas, including The Champ, which is loaded with meats and veggies, and the Runner-Up featuring six different meats and a mountain of mozzarella. There's even a delicious, five-topping low-carb crustless pizza. Derby City Pizza Co. also serves subs, pasta, wings, and salads.

If you're hungry enough to eat a horse, please don't. Order up a ginormous burger from Freakin' Unbelievable Burgers instead.

Patty choices include beef, chicken, salmon, and portobello, and there are 14 sauces to choose from. Pick your cheese, and pile on the toppings, which include bacon, a fried egg, chili, and fried onion straws.

There's nothing to satisfy a big appetite like a big old pile of Southern fried chicken. The Eagle Food & Beer Hall's fried chicken is the real deal and starts with a cage-free, all-natural bird that's brined in a secret recipe, dredged, fried, and served with house-made hot honey. The home-made sides are comfort food through and through and include succotash, mac 'n' cheese, white cheddar grits, and fresh-baked biscuits served with blackberry jam and honey butter. The menu also includes a variety of sandwiches like the Fried Chicken with spicy mayo, the Grilled Cheese with apricot preserves and granny smith apples, and the Blackened Shrimp Po Boy with charred avocado relish and smoked onion remoulade.

Griff's is the brainchild of none other than Dr. Dunkenstein himself, Mr. Darrell Griffith, who played for the Louisville Cardinals before being selected to play for the Jazz. The menu features Griff's favorites from his years of traveling with the NBA, and everything on the menu is made fresh daily with quality ingredients. Happily, Griff seems to have a versatile, adventurous palate, so the menu features a unique collection of entrees, including a variety of burgers and salads as well as entrees like Griff's Smoked Ribs, Catfish Fingers, and Smokin' Cajun Pasta. Hand-helds include sandwiches, wraps, and Griff's famous Catfish Tacos with Zucchini Apple Slaw and Sriracha Mayo.

Bandido Taqueria Mexicana specializes in tacos but serves up a variety of south-of-the-border favorites. Choose from soft shell or hard shell tacos, or try the super rolled tacos or the Tijuana-Style Street Tacos. The menu also features a variety of specialty burritos, including the Surf and Turf Burrito, filled with grilled steak, shrimp, and veggies and topped with chipotle cream sauce. Quesadillas, nachos, burrito bowls, and smothered French fries round out the offerings.

Forget the frozen waffles and cold cereal down in the hotel lobby. Start your Louisville day right with a pile of house-made donuts and a hot cup of fresh coffee. North Lime Coffee & Donuts uses simple, high-quality ingredients in their donuts, which are mixed, cut, fried, and iced by hand every day.

North Lime Coffee & Donuts closes at 5pm, so order early.
