Worst meal I have had in as long as I can remember. Total rip off for $31. They must be depending on over-charging one-time unsuspecting customers.

If you were a fan of "Longhorn steak house" in Sunnyvale, this is the place for you. The owners of Longhorn now operate here.

This is a good quality, no frills, BBQ Grill.
Very casual, good food, very reasonable prices.

Vegetarian options: Garden burger, fries, garlic bread, salad, potato salad, and coleslaw.

Wheelchair accessibility: The building is flat on ground level. Easily accessible by street or the parking lot.

I don't have enough good words to say about this place! The food is really good and everything is prepared on a charcoal grill (pretty much in front of the customers), so the food has that smoky flavor that is missing from so many gas grill places. The service is astounding! The owner is very friendly and loves to cater to customers! We came in for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't crowded. Will definitely be coming back for breakfast next time for sure. Loved it!

Filthy rich Asian owner, it's not a real charcoal grill.

Kal's Bar-B-Q offers a unique type of fast food that might not appeal to everyone, but I absolutely love it. Their steak sandwich is especially delightful. The place is a little bit dated, but I still enjoy it. The owner and staff are truly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I wish I could give them more than five stars. It's definitely worth trying, especially if you live or work in the area.

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 recommend the burger.

Had lunch here for the first time in years. We had a Cheeseburger with onion rings that was good. We also had the BBQ chicken sandwich on a french roll. It was good except that the french roll was a lot longer than the chicken, as you can see from the picture. I've never eaten anything on a french roll that didn't cover the length of the roll. You can sit inside or outside.

This is the best grilled cheese sandwich you can find in the bay area. Really great saturday breakfast in general.

Update 6-15-2024:
Grilled cheese we're still crisp.
Steak sandwich was correct and tender.
Bacon was crispy, eggs were cooked to order.

Classic americana. I ordered the ribeye steak on a bun. It's enough fo two lunches. I'm proud to say I ate the whole thing. Tender, delicious. The bun held up the whole time.

Had a regular hamburger and it came with nothing. Chips are fries extra. There is a good condiment bar and serve yourself soda machine.
