Had lunch here for the first time in years. We had a Cheeseburger with onion rings that was good. We also had the BBQ chicken sandwich on a french roll. It was good except that the french roll was a lot longer than the chicken, as you can see from the picture. I’ve never eaten anything on a french roll that didn’t cover the length of the roll. You can sit inside or outside.

Really wanted to like this place. Came in for breakfast and the owner was pushing the steak and eggs. First of all, it was $35. You read that right. I should have balked but I said why not let me try it. Had eggs over medium and sourdough toast as well. It also comes with hash browns. I ordered the steam medium rare and it was cooked perfectly but it was a very thin steak and there was zero seasoning added — not a grain of salt or pepper so I had to add that myself and the meat was fine. The eggs were perfect but again no seasoning at all applied. The hash browns were okay– they were a bit crisp but could have been better. They were too oily though. So maybe I just shouldn’t try breakfast here and next time stick to burgers and steak sandwiches.

If you miss a legit Mesquite charcoal grilled burger, this is the place for you! So many places out there with flat top or gas grilled burgers with that bland taste I just got used to. I had forgotten that smoke-infused deliciousness that only comes from real charcoal.

With the cities cracking down and wanting electric everything, Kal’s is a breathtaking culinary trip to simpler times that you won’t find in newer places.

I got the cheeseburger, medium and fries. All cooked to order. A separate station lets you pick and add the condiments of your choice.

It was delicious old-school goodness. Having passed the taste test with flying colors, I’m going to return to try the rib-eye.

Highly recommend the burger.

Kal’s is great! I love this place. It’s a beautiful 1950’s time capsule breakfast and lunch diner. They’ve been here since 1958 and still look as fresh and spotless as if they just opened. Food is excellent and they have all the classics to get me started. A genuine “Mom and Pop” restaurant and a joy to hang out with friends and sip coffee, chat and relax. Outdoor seating too. Support this cool locally owned business.

Sadly this was a very disappointing experience. I got the bbq pork and the meat looked like long pieces of chicken skin with little bits of meat (see photo). And it tasted worse than that. It was very gamey (not in a good way) and in one word horrible. I couldn’t even eat it. The onion rings honestly felt like they were from frozen with too much breading, like the ones you get at smart-n-final. You could hardly taste the onions. The bbq ribs were OK. The potato salad again felt like it was made, froze, and then defrosted. Totally not worth the money. We usually go to Smoking Pig BBQ in San Jose. Would just stick to that next time.
