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.

Food was okay and it was over priced for what you got. Burger was cold but fries was hot and pretty tasty.

Rib eye steak dinner is worth every penny… perfectly cooked and extremely fresh. Super friendly employees. A must try if in the area.

Very good service. Old school atmosphere and old school respect by the employees makes the awesome steak sandwich taste better than a 10!! Will definitely come back.

Fries don’t look done but they are. The condiments are runny. Mustard and BBQ sauce should not be as thin as water.

Disappointing. For a $20 barbecue plate, you’d expect more than a single sad steak. No grill marks or seasoning.

This place is great. The food is cooked to order right in front of you. The burgers are big. The place is nice and clean.

All in all my experience was a bit over average. My only complaint was paying over $100.00 for 3 to eat. I had a great experience with ordering my omelet, granted it was $16.00 dollars. But my workmates were not happy with their burgers.
