Catlett’s

It's been a while, but I used to stop in here quite frequently when visiting my family in La Grange. Many convenience stores serve junk, but this little place makes some pretty decent quick food. They have county ham, which is a huge bonus and not always easy to find. I've always found the staff to be friendly and fairly quick. The pimento cheese was okay, but made with Miracle Whip instead of the standard mayo, and it seemed to be missing something. Other than that, I've found the food to be good. Four stars in their category.

I love the food for what it is. BUT and and BIG BUT......... CATLETT'S wraps their breakfast sandwiches in PLASTIC WRAP. That is a MAJOR NO NO!! So many chemicals leach into the food when wrapped in LAMP HEATED PLASTIC WRAP. ALL these delicious breakfast foods are literally POSION Bc they have been wrapped in plastic. Please Catlett's, use a different medium for the food to customer transfer. Ugh.

This is THE best place to get a fast, cheap, homemade lunch in LaGrange. You can choose from a different hot plate lunch every day or order from a variety of sandwiches. Don't forget the pies. They're wonderful and reasonably priced as well. They do breakfast too. I prefer to order and have it cooked rather than choose from their prepackaged sandwiches but in a pinch they're so much better than a drive thru

Giving 2 stars bc I have had food here and it's not bad but the service is very poor. The staff is very unfriendly. I was the only customer in the store and said "good afternoon" to no reply. Tried to pay for a drink with a card and the cashier said "3 dollar minimum for card" without even looking up. I happily paid cash instead and she did not say thank you after the purchase. I said thank you and have a good day but she was already walking away. Again no reply. Not the small town deli treatment I would say. My husband has also said the staff there was not friendly to him on occasion so it was not a one time deal.

I know the owner and he's great. He goes out of his way to help you and to give you the best! The chicken, chicken salad and country ham are all awesome! I just have to say to Travis T. who commented. Do your homework buddy before you berate someone's business. Plastic wrap is fine for food."According to the FDA though, rigorous testing proves that the chance of plasticizers leaking from plastic wrap when heated is slim to none. Manufacturers must test their plastic wraps so that they adhere to FDA regulations and only then can the products carry a "microwave safe" label. The plastic wraps you'll find in the supermarket all have been okayed by the FDA and are safe to use. They should all say "microwave safe" on the packaging."

So I'm not usually one to complain about customer service issues normally just go on with my day but I have never in my life experienced such a hateful person as the woman working the counter at Cattlet's deli in Lagrange. We walked in and we're looking that menu I told her I wanted a sandwich and my dad asked for a burger she said they wouldn't make it because they just cleaned the griddle, he then asked for a cod sandwich, she rolled her eyes, laughed and said we close in an hour and walks in the back comes back standing with her hands on her hips and says "I guess I can make you a fish sandwich" (at this point I was pissed because you don't treat paying customers like that) we go to grab some fountain drinks and asked if we could pay for the drinks she then gets mad because they already started my sandwich and I told her kindly I would just like to pay for the drinks and leave so my dad hands her the money and she says that we are making the poor man lose money by not paying for the sandwich and taking it and then throws the change back at my dad. Needless to say that was my first and last time in there. Also my dad has been in the restaurant industry for well over 35 years and I don't care if a 20 top walks in 10 minutes til close you serve them they're paying customers. We were fine with having to choose other options but after being treated that way we chose to eat at home. Also called and talked to the owner and he did apologize after listing every excuse he could following each one with "I know that's not an excuse" you're right it's not an excuse to treat paying customers like they're an inconvenience

Great local good home cooking. Great variety of sandwiches and deli meats. Prices best in town. I will return here not only for lunch but deli meats as well. They make you feel welcome and great service. Wnen in Lagrange Catletts Deli a definite stopping place.
