I've always seen this place when I would drive to Stanford and well I always thought maybe someday I'll go in well I finally went. Unfortunately I went on the hottest day in the whole entire world well it felt like that. It didn't really that they have absolutely no air conditioning and could not open up any of their windows. The food was soso but, it was a little suspect that it was so hot and they have a little set up for putting all the fixin's for your hamburgers yet,the Mayo was out there. It seemed to be a bit pricey for three little ribs, a tiny salad with 1 slice of tomato and bread paired with a very small handful of french fries. For more then 20 dollars. Maybe this place is better for the hamburgers looking around almost everyone had one unfortunately, I ordered ribs. They did try and they were very nice that's why they got somewhat of a good score and everyone else seemed to be having a great time free WiFi which is cool just wish that the place...

Definitely not worth the money. I ordered the burger on the french roll and it was one of the most disappointing burgers I've ever seen. Basically, you get this longer-than-usual bread with the patty on one side, cheese on top. And that's it. No cream, no sauce, just plain patty, cheese and bread. Needless to say, the other side of the bread was empty. I paid some $7 with tax which is not the cheap, specially considering the product I got. Also, it had a weird taste, as if it was some industrialized stuff, which is weird since the place is small and has a home-made feel to it. I said "No fries" as I was not very hungry. Yet, they put fries on the plate and almost charged me for that. When I reiterated the "No fries" part, they just dumped it and gave me the plate back, with the disappointing burger....

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...

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.

I was in the area for work, and happened upon Kal's. Went in, and asked the friendly staff for recommendations. She told me the steak sandwich was popular, as well as the various BBQ sandwiches. I opted for the steak, and I was not disappointed. The steak was cooked just right, with a smokey flavor. There was a condiment area with lettuce, tomatoes and other toppings, but I ate mine plain. Parking is a bit tight, but I got there before the rush. The service was quick, and the prices were reasonable. Definitely a thumbs up for me.
