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. Maybe relax on a porch swing for a bit. 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

First I grew up eating at the original Karlins so I was expecting a similar experience. My family was back in Louisbille and thought we would try the new Karlins. The place was so noisy that you could not converse with others at the same table. We were seated at a table where the A/C blew right on us. Asked if the A/C could be turned down and we’re told no. It was most uncomfortable. Further the place has the ambiance of a bus station. We almost got up and left and wished we had. Most of our party ordered the original Karlins cheeseburger. What a disappointment, burgers were cold and had too much brown mustard. Meat was cooked to much and had little flavor. The whole experience was a disappointment and we could not wait to leave. Will not be coming back.

The fish sandwich was exceptional. Just the right amount of breading and the tartar sauce finished it perfectly. Wouldn't recommend the roasted brussel sprouts. Tough and overcooked. Server was friendly and helpful with making suggestions. Overall an enjoyable meal. Will visit again if in the area.

I love the food at Kaelin's, and we always get wonderful service. I have one nitpick--the acoustics are terrible! When the dining room gets about half-full it's difficult to have table conversation. I recommend eating on the always-popular patio if you're able to. Otherwise, highly recommended (along with the Benedictine BLT).

Best burgers in town!!! Can't beat the friendly service and consistently great food. Sam took care of us and was so nice. Mom is still raving about her BBLT (Benedictine, Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato). Dad, daughter & hubby all loved their burgers - all were cooked perfectly! My pulled pork sandwich was seasoned so well and the onion rings were a very nice side substitution. 80/20 at Kaelin's never disappoints and has easily become our go-to place for great comfort food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Disappointed in the amount of time to get food. Daughter ordered a shake that didn’t come when mine came and had to remind waitress when the meals finally arrived. Food was pretty good but the shakes weren’t worth what I paid for.

We had reservations at 6:15 on mother's day and we're seated promptly. Our waiter immediately brought us water which was nice. We asked him questions about our dietary needs and he tried but I don't think he was very knowledgeable on the topic. So we ordered our food and waited.. and waited.. and waited.. and an hour and a half later we were served. We were pretty hangry by almost 8:00. Our food was correct and delicious.. but all of our bellies hurt afterwards 😏

We were seated as soon as we got there (thanks to the reservation) they have adult capri-suns I highly recommend as well the bourbon milkshakes were to die for . 100/10 coming back
