About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Kid-friendly
  • Good for groups
Welcome to 80/20 @ Kaelins. A new take on the classic restaurant where the cheeseburger was created. A neighborhood spot where anyone is welcome. Bring your family and friends and join us. A great place to watch a game or enjoy some family time. Featuring burgers and classic comfort food and drinks. Try out the 80/20 Malt Shoppe for some house made ice cream or a shake with your burger. Grab a bourbon or local brew to enjoy at the indoor/outdoor bar. Have an evening relaxing on our large patio. Maybe throw a party in one of our private dining areas where we can offer custom menus from casual to upscale.
We would love for you to join us. And we look forward to taking care of you.
Thanks,
80/20 @ Kaelins

    We had a 6:45 reservation for a party of 9….we were seated, ordered some drinks and starters. Then we ordered dinner….the apps came out right away. Our dinner however did not arrive until 8:40! The staff apologized and the manager offered us gift cards for our next visit. However, we are all from out of town….so they took 15% off of my bill. The food was not worth the wait at all and I didn’t get everything I ordered. This was obviously a critical failure of some sort. I am assuming our dinner order didn’t get entered or they just screwed up. In any case, I would be hard pressed to ever return there and give them another chance! It was incredibly disappointing. Final thought….pass on the fried chicken!

    Our experience was great. The food was awesome and the service was memorable. Trent was personable, funny and fit right into our group. He took care of our group of 8 with ease and we will def come back if we find ourselves in Louisville again. Highly recommend the burgers, fries and desserts.

    Overall disappointing. Food ok but not great. Had burgers, wings, meatloaf and none of them were great. Best thing we had was Twix ice cream. Had been wanting to try this place but don’t think I’ll be back.

    Had a 7:00 reservation, did not get a table until 7:30! Trent our waiter was great and very accommodating. The host and hostess were not. Apparently they know how to take reservations, they just don’t know how to keep reservations. Will not reserve a table in the future.
