“ We sat in the patio to enjoy the weather. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. The food was very good. I had the 80/20 burger and it was delicious. I highly recommend the onion rings. We got some ice cream and a root beer float as well. Only downside, I feel like the prices were in the high side. ”
“ If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would!!! The food is absolutely delicious the atmosphere is welcoming and my service/waitress was top tier. My waitress was amazing she was very attentive, courteous, and kind. It was my birthday I received complementary homemade ice cream and it was so good. My husband and I was the last ones in close to closing time and we wasn't rushed the manager came introduced himself spoke and made sure we had a good laugh with good food. I highly recommend this place it will not disappoint. ”
“ Kaelin’s is a local treasure and my family enjoyed a recent lunch there. The portions were plentiful and all burgers and fries were delicious. Our server was friendly and other staff stopped by to share stories about Kaelin’s unique history when they heard us discussing it. One of the best burgers in town. Only complaint was slightly chewy Brussel sprouts. The flavor was good but they weren’t crispy. Everything else was perfect. ”
“ I stopped in for lunch. Sat at the bar, it was open to the outside on the opposite side of the bar on a gorgeous day. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here!! Ordered a kaelin 80/20 burger, it was a simply well executed burger! The fries were great also! The service was excellent!! I plan on returning soon!! ”
“ Food is above and beyond delicious. Service is above and beyond amazing. Menu has a great variety of options. Entire restaurant is huge and gorgeous. If you have the please of speaking with Chase I can guarantee your mood, energy and vibes will increase at least 7 times its current level. This place is a gem. A 502 treasure. I have so many favorite places to eat in LOU. 502 is full of great places! But this place? Everyone I ever talk to has 80/20 in their top 3. No need to say more! (Thank y’all for all you do. Amazing food from the kindest people around ) ”
“ I loved loved the pimento cheese app. Let's just get that outta the way. I liked the hush puppies, but it didn't seem very much like there was jalapenos in them? The service was great. He was as sweet as he could be, working on his day off with such a kind demeanor and so helpful too. I enjoyed my cherry limeade!! The beer was cold and good The burgers were eh. Not incredible, not bad at all, but I was hoping for more with almost 20 on a burger alone. All in all would definitely return to try other food! Good atmosphere too. ”
“ 80/20 @ Kaelin’s blew me away! I had the ribeye burger—easily one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The hushpuppies were the perfect side—crispy outside, soft inside. One friend had the s’mores shake and couldn’t stop raving about it, and the other loved the chicken sandwich. Great vibe, fast service, and incredible food. A must-visit spot! ”
