Laid back dark bar. Very quiet when I was there, but I was there at 4pm on a Saturday.

Stopped in on our way out from a ski trip- wow!Excellent food! I got the Cowboy Burger and it was absolutely delicious. There were 4 of us in our group, and not a crumb was left behind.The vibe is very hometown bar, always have the select locals sitting at the bar, waitress is very informal. If you're looking for great food and solid vibes, stop in!

I never have a bad time when I visit this local bar. The staff are always friendly and personable and they deal with the influx of people that usually accompany my group after our wrestling event, and they do so with both aplomb and grace. The food is always top-notch; delicious would be a good descriptor, but actual care is taken in preparing it, so it is beyond just delicious. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and there are two very distinct sections of the bar, which lends itself to different sorts of get-togethers. The pool tables on the one side of the bar give an activity for my friends and I, and they even have a dart board. They have a jukebox on that side, and a live DJ on the other side, which is darker than the pool table side and filled with tables. There is a bar on both sides, so no need to wander very far for a drink or anything else you may need. I always love when I am afforded the opportunity to go to Kalkaska for wrestling at MCPW, because I know the evening will end at Kal-Ho's, and that is always a welcome place to be at.

The Kal-Ho is a northern Michigan staple for us. Their pizza is amazing. Recently had beef and barley soup there and was really happy with the flavors and textures. The service at Kal-Ho is always friendly and attentive. We've been coming to Kal-Ho since about 1999.

Cool place for the most part, nice clean level pool tables. Don't be afraid to challenge the locals that hog the tables to a game of pool. They will stack 15 piles of coins on the table to deter you from trying to play and leave them there all night.

Great dive bar with friendly staff. The food is good bar food and the pizza is pretty dank. They have pull tabs which are fun.Kid-friendliness: This is a bar why would it be kid friendly?

Place is great and always has really good food. My mom had issues with her food and they just took it back and brought her a new plate everything fresh. I never had issues with food there; only issue I've ever had is I gotta wait 10 minutes to eat it because it's so hot. HahaParking: Plentiful
