Went for club sandwiches based on MANY recommendations. It didn’t disappoint! Large portions, and delicious. The only small bonus would have been if the fries were a bit more crispy…they were a bit soggy. The server (didn’t catch her name) was AMAZING-friendly and a great sense of humor. Will definitely be back!

I’ve heard so many great things about Kal’s that I just had to try it for myself. Best scrambled eggs and home fries I’ve ever had. The hollandais sauce is very flavourful and goes so well on the eggs Benedict with the smoked meat. This just might be our new breakfast place.

A nice little chill place; not as busy as other eateries. The most remarkable thing for me was the portion sizes! Additionally, unlike other places we've been too, here you get to choose 2 sides with your meal :-). Absolute value for money. They have an excellent kids menu at unbeatable prices. Food was mostly ok apart from my salad; bacon was hard. Loved that though we didn't have to wait too long to get our freshly done meals. Not too much in terms of ambience or provision of kiddos activities but still had a good dinner. Will definitely go back.

Found this hidden little gem when hubby and I were looking for a place to eat before a concert. Stopped in around 4pm on a Saturday. It was pretty much empty, except for another couple, (Fine with me!) I was impressed by the extensive menu selection. The food was great, best club sandwich I ever had! The fries were ok. Very good portion sizes. Hubby liked his meat lovers pizza. Only knocking a star off service because the waitress (very friendly!) spent a few extra mins chatting at the bar with a customer, when we were ready to pack up our leftovers and get the bill. (Not a big deal...I am sure they have regulars!) I would go here again. A bit out of our way but seems worth it.

What a wonderful hidden gem in this corner of Kanata!! If you are looking for a busy and homey breakfast diner of yesteryear, this is the perfect place. It's almost like you step into the movie set of Corner Gas and visit The Ruby. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, the service is quick and nice, the food is served hot and fresh in generous portions. And what I loved especially was getting served some coffee immediately after entering before ordering!!! Love it first thing in the morning :) Now don't all come here at the same time, it's so busy it might be hard to get a spot during rush hours! But they have all day breakfast so if you come later its still available 😉

I will drive from anywhere in the city to go have breakfast at Kal's. It's small, but the potatoes are worth it. They are the BEST breakfast potatoes in the city. No onions (add on if you want), pan fried (not deep fried!) and perfectly cooked and seasoned every time. I get them to go, I get them to eat in. They are the ultimate comfort food. The eggs are always cooked perfect too. I'd love to try Kal's pizza as I hear it's also amazing, but I just can't stop coming for breakfast. I like to sit at the bar, as the staff is always delightful.

We were recommended this place if we wanted to grab a great breakfast. It is not particularly large and is accessible by foot, bike, bus or car. The interior is simple but not overly dated: booths and tables and chairs. We came here for breakfast and after assenting to coffee, our order was taken within a minute or two. The food came reasonably quickly and was generous in portion. We each had an egg and bacon sandwich and it was easily 2 eggs and 4 rashers of bacon if not more. The sandwich tasted great and we came away with a satisfied tummy. My only issue is pricing. Before deciding to visit, we looked at the restaurants menu on their webpage but when we were handed the menus by our server, there were several price discrepancies. The online menu states that the egg and bacon sandwich should be $8.95 but there is a full $3 difference to the in house menu. YES, someone is providing a service and running a business and yes, the menu states that prices are subject to change without notice but if youre going to change them, then the webpage could be updated accordingly. Wheelchair accessibility: I did not notice a drop in the pavement directly outside the restaurant. If requiring the use of a walking aid or wheelchair, the ability to maneuver at the 2 door entry system and inside could prove tricky without assistance

Visit for breakfast as often as money allows. The best French Toast and my spouse bemoans the real fried potatoes with fried onions. His eggs are perfect, and his toast is buttered crust to crust, just the way they expect them to be, and his crispy bacon is as requested. How can you not love that kind of breakfast! The servers are welcoming and fast with the delivery of the orders. Very efficiently managed.

I got the Kals plate. It was filling but it would have been nice to have eggs included. The pancakes were huge buttermilk but fried in bacon grease it seemed like. Made them feel extra heavy on the stomach. Top up of coffee could have been a little more efficient. The place wasnt too busy. Lots of seats to choose from on a Monday mid-morning.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Kal s Restaurant! Our inaugural visit to Kal s Restaurant was nothing short of spectacular! Accompanied by my family, including my wife and kids, we were treated to an absolutely delightful experience. The staff exhibited warmth and attentiveness, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we stepped in. The culinary journey was a highlight, with each dish surpassing our expectations. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation impeccable. The service we received was truly outstanding, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. Without a doubt, we plan to return for another memorable dining experience at Kal s Restaurant. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking exceptional food, attentive service, and a welcoming ambiance.

Its a dump. After being told to find a seat we couldnt because all the tables were dirty/sticky, the floor was entirely covered in garbage and food debris as if they hadnt swept for WEEKS. The older lady is some of the worst service in town. Looks like she hates her job far too much to put any effort in at all. Tiny meal with a big pile of 10 cent potatoes for 20$. Basically a 20$ large fry. Not sure how this place is getting any good reviews, are they bribing people? Its a sad dump with incredibly poor service

Based on previous positive reviews my wife and I decided to have breakfast here on a Friday. We love breakfast and have had many fabulous meals at a variety of places over the past forty years. Sadly, our breakfast here wasn t even good. The potatoes have potential but ours were stone cold and they charged us $.75 each for onions . I mean, who charges for onions? My wife s bacon was so fatty she could not eat it. To be fair, the poached eggs, ham and toast were good. The server was pleasant but way too busy to ask how our meals were or offer a coffee refill. We drove 30 minutes to try this place but it will be our last stop at Kal s.

Pretty disappointed. Came here for the 1st time today and brought my family for breakfast. First impression was dirty table we sat at for a while before we were noticed and the server walked past us a few times than cleaned the table. There was eggshells in the EggsBenedict and the potatoes were black and rock solid. More than half of them were unedible and taste like burnt toast. Than when it came to the bill we were overcharged for items when didnt get, thankfully I reviewed all items on the bill. We wont be returning, I really did hear good things thats why I came, perhaps quality control before servers pass out the food and this would have been avoided.

This is a restaurant you should visit if you havent already - if you have you most likely return often for the great service and food. My mum and I have regularly frequented Kals (before and after Covid protocol and have no complaints. Weve ordered the liver, Kals club, Pizza, Caesar salad and before Covid - their specials - all delicious and perfectly cooked. We have only experienced excellent service, a special shout out to Kim who remembers our wine preference and our usual orders - she makes us feel welcome and special - smiling as we enter and immediately accommodating - as if we are visiting her home. Thanks - these days thats hard to find. The restaurant is cozy - comfortable seating - the prices fair and the menu has excellent range for any family - we have our favourites but often wish we had ordered the same as other patrons as we see their choice go by...once you visit Kals once I guarantee there will a second and third visit! Updating - now April 2023 - we still receive excellent service and food on every visit. We have now tried Chopped Sirloin, Fish and Chips, Chicken Parmesan, Burger with mushrooms, all excellent - we go every week if we can - Update Nov 2023. Still superb and superior to any local restaurant. The service is more than anyone could expect. Amanda and Kim are our usual expert servers - genuine welcome, smile and again superb service . The food is excellent - we have sampled numerous plates - not one disappointed us. We have eaten caesar salad all over the city and vote Kals the very best. I challenge anyone to go there and leave disappointed.

I am genuinely concerned at how many people came on here to praise their bland, tasteless food. When I visited Kal s diner I was greeted with dirty tables and floors as well as a weird smell in the air. I have it a chance and I really should ve left on entry. There is a few things I found unpleasant about my visit. I mentioned cleanliness so I won t again but the other stuff is food quality and service. My food was unseasoned, bland and just poor quality. The Homefries are mushy and gross and my food was cold. As for service the two waitresses that look like mother and daughter I think one was named Alyssa(she was our server) were horrible. I saw the mother put on overbearing fake friendliness and be minimalist kind to people coming in and the daughter barely spoke or checked in. I did overhear some conversations between the mother and daughter and have never been so disgusted in my life. These waitresses were talking about people like garbage and saying things that came off as extremely racist, rude and inconclusive. After my horrid experience I didn t some asking around and from multiple sources found nothing but dirt on these two. Do not go here they ruined my experience! Vegetarian options: None Parking: None

It was busy but didn t matter because we were seated right away and promptly served a delicious, hot breakfast. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to our enjoyment. We highly recommend this place for a five-star experience!

Love Kal s ambiance, like the old Cheers show. All Servers welcome you & say see you soon when you leave. My friends & I love their breakfast. The pizzas & turkey dinners (all the time, anytime) are down-home comfort. Happy, safe, healthy holidays and the same for the new year!!

First time to this place this morning. Delicious food and great service. But most importantly REAL homefries as not frozen like most restaurants around. Great choice of Eggs Benny. We will return.

Everything here is awesome, food, service, price and quantity of food. The only short coming that this fine little restaurant has is that it is way too small for the volume of people that demand their food.

Kals is a small eatery which focuses on good food, great service at a good price point. The breakfast (served all day but may be surcharge after noon) is fresh and flavourful. I like my bacon crispy and the home fries crusty and I was not disappointed. I chose fresh tomatoes instead of toast. The coffee drinker in my party said it was good. I have been here previously for dinner and the pizza is excellent. Support local business. Thanks to our server, Amanda who provides excellent and friendly service

I ve only ever been to this place a few times and it was great. A friend of mine and I went on Saturday and the place had a line up out the door. Super happy to see businesses thriving like this, especially during these times. But with that said, we waited outside for a while and then inside and we re not even approached by any waitress or staff. Not to suggest a waiting time or take our information or even greet us. Some customers were rude, demanding the door be closed after we opened it a tiny bit to see if a hostess or something was near the door. Another table rudely asked for the inner door to be closed due to a draft when the group before us had it open for 20 minutes prior. Waitress didn t even look our way. Very annoyed, we left.

Top 3 pizza in the city. Service is always on point. Food is delicious and their breakfast is fast, inexpensive and tastes like homemade. Just wanted to add, we still go here all the time. Their food never disappoints. They have some of the best restaurant staff in the city, it feels like going to a friend house!

Had the dinner special tonight it was the best price to food value we have had in a long time. Had the soup or salad, with cabanera pasta, with coconut or banana cream pie for 20 dollars each. It was all so flavorful. Salad had real bacon, my husband had the turkey and barley soup with big chunks of turkey,pasta was creamy and filling( kept some for lunch tomorrow). But the star was the pie OMG words can not discribe how delicious it was. Please go and try it, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing breakfast. Show up before 9:30 or theres a short wait. Good, quality home cooked food. Friendly servers, and cozy environment make this place a hidden gem in the heart of Kanata. Shhh keep the secret.. Even years later this review holds true! The best brekkie in Kanata!

This is a very loud restaurant. It is small, which is fine, because the service is quick. They oversell their famous home-fries. There is nothing special about them. They are fresh, never frozen potatoes, so thats a bonus, but they could be much crispier. Portion sizes are good. The coffee is horrible. They do make a very good omelette.

AMAZING!!! Arrived for lunch the restaurant was short staffed with only one waitress to serve everyone inside and out. Every table was filled. She did an amazing job her speed and her mannerism with every table was far beyond anyones expectations. The food came hot and fresh and it was delicious. I will definitely be back. Thank you Kals for an all around great lunch!!

We stopped while on vacation to Ottawa for lunch based on the reviews. We ordered the The Original Club- $17 Lettuce, Tomato, Bacon, Turkey & mayo with fries. The Sandwich was delicious, real turkey and fresh toppings. We are 2 seniors and werent that hungry and decided to split the meal. We had to order 2 drinks avoid a charge of $5 for splitting a meal. The owner was nice and friendly and we noticed her feeding a homeless person with a great looking pizza a unlimited pop. God bless her soul for being so kind and caring to the less fortunate. The world needs more people like you!

Great spot if youre in the mood for a quick greasy breakfast! The prices need to be updated on their website because at the time we went there was a $2-$3 difference for a basic Bacon and eggs. I knocked off 2 stars because the clump of bacon I got tasted like it was sitting in a warming plate for a long time. Well cooked but very soggy. Also, their famous potatoes are very bland and took up 1/2 my plate. The service was great! I love how they are open early!

This is a favorite breakfast place since my discovering it in the spring of 2022. More recently I tried the spaghetti and meatballs and Im very pleased to say it is now my favorite spaghetti and meatballs. Its low on fancy but high on flavor and is a generous portion for the price. Theres some celery & peppers in here, but other than that its a basic spaghetti and meatballs in meat sauce... very home style in a good way. Parking: Plenty of parking

a great local diner/pub. visited mid-week for lunch, it was pretty busy. I had a simple BLT ($11) which came with a generous portion of fries and small coleslaw. It was very good and an excellent value (only critique would be the bread was marginally over toasted, but not so much to detract from my score, might simply be my peference). Service was attentive and friendly. food came in under 15 min. my friend had a hot chicken sandwich which looked excellent and he commented how good the gravy was.
