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,

Beer cheese was average, but the burgers were off the chart! 80/20 burger cooked medium-well and ribeye burger cooked medium, both with fries and both were superb. Finished with a chocolate malt and bourbon apple butter milkshake - perfect! We will definitely be back.

Fried chicken was burnt. Hush puppy app was burnt. Hair found in bottom of potatoe salad bowl. The fried chicken dinner was not charged to patron. Overall quality of the food was poor. Onion rings didn’t seem to have any onion in them, saw a few very thin slivers of onion in a few, mostly ate rings of crust. Ice cream place next door smelled sour, floor was filthy and slippery. Guy at the counter completely ignored us and then took a call. I always though in person customers trump ones on the phone?Ice cream didn’t taste home made and order was messed up. Over all not a great experience and probably won’t ever go back.

Our only constructive feedback is that it took quite a long time to get our food but otherwise it was a great experience.

This place keeps getting better and better. The good food and the unbelievable service is always a part of our visits. Never a disappointment on either. There's always something different on the menu. Whether it's a food combo or a drink special. I can't say enough about the service. We've walked in a few times here. So, we see this place as one of our favorites. They have been so consistent in the way they treat us it's easy to understand why we aren't the only ones who feel this way. It's very genuine and the food has never made us frown. There ya go. Believe me, there are a bunch of places in Louisville that would love to have the winning combination like Kaelin's has put together. Good food and great service on display.

We tried the 80/20 burger and the ribeye burger. Both burgers were perfectly cooked and tasty. The French fries are excellent. We arrived during happy hour so drinks and wine were half price. Our server was friendly and helpful. We also had perfect weather to enjoy their outdoor seating.

The great parking and the patio are big pluses to Kaelins. The burgers are great, the fried chicken is huge and tasty. Leave room for a boozy milkshake or a dish of ice cream. Both options are delicious. Love this neighborhood place.

Great food, great atmosphere, awesome service and an affordable pricetag. What more can I say? Appetizers of buffalo chicken thighs and beer cheese and baguette were delicious. Fish sandwich was made up of 2 large pieces of fish with just enough tarter sauce (you can always request more). Fish was thicker, flaky and cooked perfectly. Ribeye burger was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked medium. We were able to take advantage of happy hour for 40 minutes arriving around 5:20pm. Phenomenal cocktail prices and very nice draft beer selection. We sat on the patio and the weather and service could not have been better. Proactive service with a relaxed pace and great vibe. Exactly what we were looking for on a Friday after work. Will definitely go back!!
