Reviews for Kalmes Restaurant & Catering in St Donatus, IA
Had dinner here tonight (9/17/22). We were celebrating my son and my nieces birthdays. The food was great and our waitress was... amazing. Kalmes is one of my favorite restaurants, and we live about an hour away. We'll worth the hour drive. Prime rib wasexcellent tonight. Great salad bar. Really nice, simple atmosphere. We have had good food and good service every time we stopin. I believe our waitresses name was maybe Laura? I believe she was one of the owners? Sorry if I got that wrong.. Anyway shewas awesome and made the night very enjoyable for us all. Thank you. Read more
5 star from us! Thank you for your clean restaurant. We could tell all your pride went into making this little gem serving... people with great food! We enjoyed our tasty sausage sandwich and club chicken. Meat was tender and juicy. We will be back! Read more
We had Kalmes cater our 300 person wedding last weekend and I received raving reviews from all who attended. I originally booked... them about a year and a half ago and since then inflation has made food prices soar. Despite that, Kalmes never came back to tryand raise my rates or give me less than we agreed to. We left with tons of leftover food despite many of our guests makingmultiple trips to the buffet line, and the food was piping hot and delicious. They are so easy to work with and I will recommendthem to anyone and everyone! The ham and fried chicken are the way to go! Read more
Great small town service and food! The ambiance and history of the building only adds to the experience. The fried chicken was... some of the best I have ever had. The waitress was awesome! You could tell they were short staffed, as she was running aroundtaking care of everyone, but through it all she never once complained or got short. She was great! I recommend you take thedrive and experience this place for yourself. Read more
Stopped in for a family lunch with about 20 of us after a funeral. They got us seated right away even though we were about a... hour early. Menu is enormous anyone should be able to find a choice to try. Enjoyed a nice appetizer combo. Bison burger wasgood and juicy French fry serving was a little light. Daughter enjoyed her patty melt as well. They also have a dessertselection if you like. Service was fast considering our large group. Lots of photos on the walls of the local historical sights.There is a lot of Luxembourg history in this small town. Two gas pumps outside if you need and a small grocery section inside aswell. Good choice if your looking for some good Midwestern fare. Read more
Kalmes Restaurant has been our go to place for the best burger and a cold drink for years. Something's going on and I hope they... can turn it around. Recently the food prep has been increasingly inconsistent. At least one entree is undercooked or cold.Today's side order of onion rings overdone and the interior temperature so cold guests were wearing jackets to be warm and ourserver indifferent at best.
