I love this place! Good food, cheap prices and great service. Breakfast is good at only 5.50 for the big breakfast and lunch burgers with crinkle cut fries hit the spot every time! Skip the chain restaurants and try Kali's Kitchen but don't wait they close at 2pm!

The biscuits and gravy were so good! They did not skimp on our take-out orders, thank you for that!! We also ordered eggs, bacon and hash browns. It was just the fuel we needed. Definitely recommend!

Great place for an all day breakfast stop. I was craving breakfast and like to try places off of the beaten path, and came across this little gem. Great food at super prices, and wonderful service!! I love these small, local places, full of the local people, and this one did not disappoint. Now, if you like loads of seasoning and unique flavor, this is not the place, as there was not a lot of unique spices and such, which is not always a bad thing. I would certainly go back if I’m in the area!! Better than Cracker Barrel or Waffle House (where customer service barely exists anymore ) and Kali’s is MUCH cheaper!

My husband and I had breakfast here last weekend. We loved it. The waitress was so sweet and so cheerful, and was very welcoming and the food was great. I love that the tables are more spaced apart and not all close together. We came back today and it was the same experience. I think this may be our new Saturday ritual.
