Kal's Family Restaurant & Pizzeria

Good drip coffee , adequate breakfast. The star of the show were the potatoes. Service was friendly and efficient, considering we had a lone waitress for the whole place. It's close to home and the prices are decent. Will return.

Food was OK but not great. The waffle was plain and there was NO REAL MAPLE SYRUP. In Ottawa. Bacon was the thinnest slice I've ever eaten. The service was inattentive at best. Took a real effort to get our bill and leave.

Great food, mediocre service. Hot tip: if you're serving breakfast, keep the coffee flowing! Mine was empty for 3/4 of our meal. No menus until we'd been there for about 5-10 mins in an empty restaurant... server was busy yelling at another table about how much s/he "parties." (Gender kept neutral to protect the person. I'm a team player)

We felt very ignored so the overall experience wasn't great but the food was really decent at least.

It's a small place, and you seat yourself. My party of 2 ended up in a table for ~6 people because that was all that was left around 1:00 on a Saturday. Service was slow to start, it felt like the waitress was ignoring us. Finally we placed our order, and when our vegetarian pizza arrived, it was delicious! It wasn't greasy *at all*. Very impressed.

My wife and I have been going to Kal's for years and have always had a great meal with great service at a reasonable price. That came to an abrupt end last night. The food was still great and the prices remain reasonable but the service was HORRIBLE. The new waitress there was what you don't want in a waitress. There was no warmth at all. An attempt at small talk was a waste of time. It wasn't like the restaurant was busy she just doesn't have the personality to be a server. I don't want to get personal because she has no chance to defend herself but she should find another

We tried breakfast there recently, we're really big on breakfasts with the kids.
The good: service was friendly
The ok: eggs and smoked meat was ok
The bad: may be the worst coffee I've had in all our breakfast joints. I couldn't go past 3 or 4 sips.
My wife felt the same way, and I didn't influence her, I waited to see her reaction when she tried it.
More bad: wife loves eggs Benedict, and it was flavorless. I'm being harsh, but if I'm going to fork out 13 dollars for a breakfast item, I expect it to rock.
My son had the eggs and sausage and it was well priced

Kal's is a fantastic little restaurant! I've been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff are friendly and the portion sizes are very generous. My favorite meal is the club sandwich with fries. The turkey seems to be roasted in-house and the fries taste like they came off of a chip truck. You can't go wrong with this gem.

Family-friendly place with good comfort food. Have been meaning to try this place for a while now, as we like to support independent businesses. We went on a Friday night around 6pm and the small place was packed. My daughter and I had burgers, another daughter had pizza and my wife had a club sandwich. All four meals were very good. Fresh and hot. Friendly service, too. Quite an extensive menu, so we'll definitely come back.

Great little spot for breakfast.
When I say little, I mean it... the place probably holds about 70-75 people in total and they've only had two servers on duty this morning.

It took a few minutes to get seated as the place was hopping, but we settled into a cute 2 person booth. Or server was over quickly to take our orders. Food was up pretty fast and was it ever good!

For the first time ever, like really ever, I ordered something that WASN'T Eggs Benedict...Shocking I know...I'll just let that sink in....

It wasn't because they didn't have eggs benny - they actually

What idiot did the space planning in this place? There are simply too many seats crammed into a small space. You have to uncomfortably squeeze past other patrons to get around. I just overheard someone say, "no matter where I stand I'm in the way" This is what it feels like in a big city like San Fran. YUCK. My advice, don't be fat or tall if you go there.

The food is good, I'm not convinced it's worth dealing with the space issues. The coffee is okay the servers are cute, I feel bad does them having to walk around in here.

Found this place through Yelp and happy I did. This place is a bit on the small side, but it's amazing how many tables and booths they have managed to squeeze in. My wife and I went on a Saturday for lunch. We got there just as the breakfast busy-ness was dying down. My wife had the shrimp stir fry with extra chicken and I had a pizza. Both dishes were very good. My wife's plate came with fries: fresh cut and done just right. Yummy.

The only minor hitch we had was that I had a pizza slice left over and asked to bring it home. While attempting to box it, the server dropped it

My husband and I took my father-in-law to Kal's recently for dinner. I read some reviews of this place online and saw that they are a small restaurant with only about 12 tables, so I wanted to make reservations. When I called to make reservations they seemed a little taken aback and said that they don't usually do reservations but would take down my information. When we arrived, there were only 2 other people in the restaurant, so I guess reservations were not necessary after all.

I'm surprised that the place wasn't busier because the food is good for what it is, the portions

Love that it is not a chain restaurant. They have good food at fair prices. Breakfast is great. Nice people. Food tastes good and fresh.

One downside now that the place has got busier is the wait times. There is no place to wait and when you are waiting you are kind of standing with the people at the front table by the door (awkward).

The other downside is they keep a very limited staff, they are quick and great but one person can only do so much.

Oh my how things have changed in the 3 years since I've been here! Echoes have been reduced with the introduction of booths, and the decor has changed completely! There's more on the menu too. And now they are licensed to sell liquor. TVs all around.

The waitress still can't hear and still got the order wrong - but we didn't mind sharing a glass of Beau's.

Tried the pea soup; delicious - would order it again; and Greek salad and a club salad.

I guess I shouldn't wait so long to come back!

Fairly busy for lunch time on a Thursday. Not a huge place; about

This is hands down the best place for breakfast. The omelettes are delicious and you definitely don't have to ask for extra anything put into them. The two waitresses are really personable and while they may be scrambling a bit on the really busy mornings, they still provide great service. This place was recommended to us by my fiancé's uncle and we tried it out. Haven't looked back since. My personal favourite is the Ham and Cheese Omelette.

Breakfast done right. At a reasonable price. All the little things like texas toast, 4 strips of bacon (not 3), and homemade home fries made this a breakfast to come back for.

You know I've been eating right next to this place for a while now. I usually go for shawarma or burger next door. Then one day I had the urge to try a new restaurant so I went here and it was very quiet and empty. I guess I was early for lunch so I got lucky.

The service and food were both good, but not exceptional. The price vs quantity vs quality of food was acceptable for lunch I think. I would recommend that you add it to the list of places you go for lunch in the Kanata area. We all know how short that list is anyways when look for good quality food.

Great place for breakfast an lunch. Menu items are similar to your typical diner which include appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, and pizza. Other choices include pasta and fish.

I tried the steal special which was a steal at $12.99. I'm not going to complain considering that at that price I wasn't expecting a AAA cut of meat. It was tough but probably could have been helped had she asked me how I liked my steak cooked instead of it coming out well done.

Small diner with great service so far. Food is nothing to rave about but that being said it is good. Basically if you're in

Came by for lunch with the gang recently as we saw a new restaurant and pizzeria by 5 Guy Burgers.

The place is on the smaller side of a medium sized restaurant and they have a TV on one of the walls that is viewable by most but not all seats...in case you come to watch a game.

The group of us all ordered our own pizzas. It took a bit of time for all the pizzas to come out but it wasn't to bad. I think that's what happens when the table orders a lot of pizzas!

The pizzas looked pretty good. It has a medium thickness crust and all the toppings looked nice. They use real bacon strips
