    Avalanche Panini
    Diane H.

    Stopped in Ennis to stretch my legs and decided to walk the town. As I approached the end and crossed the street, I saw red umbrellas and picnic tables and sandwiches advertised. That was enough for me to stop in. Variety of a sandwich menu with paninis and custom sandwiches. I went for the Avalanche, essentially a Turkey, provolone, pesto combo. It came warm and just toasted and it was filling. Despite my best intentions to save one half for later, I ate the whole thing. At 1pm on a Thursday the place was busy. Definitely worth a stop if you want a sandwich and a wonderful outdoor venue!

    Very casual place on the main drag of Ennis with super cool and friendly staff! I got the special which is the Willie Good Sandwich, sweet bbq topped with cold slaw and dill pickles. The sandwich is good but quite messy with the cold slaw. My mom had the Grizzly which she liked except the tomato wasn't quite as ripe as she would have liked but it's only early June as of writing. Overall if I'm back in the area I'll try something new from Kalena's!

    Cuban Sandwich! SO good!

    Incredible sandwiches. Simple quality ingredients and great service! Grab a cookie too, you won't regret it!

    this is for Devon's, which is king of part of Kalena's. Fun little place run by Kalena's son and partner, I think. Little fuzzy on the details but anything on a stick has my attention. The cinnamon waffle on a stick was good, and I loved the warm butter and syrup. Little tip, when your done mix the 2 and it congeals into a nice little sweet goo. Little over priced for a regular thing, but I would stop by the next time I pass through to try the corn dog.

    Kalena makes the best sandwiches in the world! It's always a treat to share lunch there with a friend. She goes out of her way to make you feel special. You'll love her assortment of teas and drinks, sandwiches, pickles, condiments and cookies! We have a tradition of celebrating our anniversary each year at lunch there. And it's a wonderful spot to sit and chat and catch up with friends. Try it!!

    Excellent place to stop. Great people and atmosphere. I would stop here again. Generous with the proportions. Outdoor seating. The best pickles in the world

Our waitress was so sweet & kind- she was definitely busy and apologized for the kitchen being backed up & the slow service. Our food was great, we all enjoyed our meals. The nachos were good- the big chunks of chicken seemed like grilled chicken nuggets similar to what you get from Costco- they were still good- could have definitely used a few more pieces of chicken. Our burger & chicken sandwich were both great- good flavor & great size portions for the cost. Definitely recommend as a local we will be back again.

Started with a burnt tree honey blonde ale. Would highly recommend. It had more body and flavor than your average honey blonde and was similar to the salmon fly honey rye. Started with a cup of chicken curry soup. When it came out, I was a bit confused by its thickness. There was literally no broth at all. One of my table mates quipped "is that a dip?" . But the flavor was definitely there even if it didn't have the consistency of your typical soup or even stew. Had the sphinx burger with fries. Burger was excellent. Probably the best part was the bun, toasted and buttery and the meat was very juicy. Probably the only bad part of the meal and why I didn't give this place a 5 was the fries. They were a bit overdone and lacked seasoning and a good, crispy coating. I'd go back and probably stay away from the fries.

    So, I might be addicted to the burgers here. So good! I had tons of family in last weekend and…read moreeveryone said it was one of the best burgers they ever had. We eat here at least once a week. If you're local, you know. If you're visiting, you won't regret it!

    First off this is just strictly my view nothing personal…read more I was a little sad to experience the discrimination i did with one of my buddies visiting for a quick bite. i have no idea what we did wrong to receive such treatment from your waiter (short white male with glasses) he absolutely did not want to attend us and literally walked around the room asking everyone about the food and ambiance except us, they made us wait until the end, our food showed up after everyone else got served, our drinks didn't come until we were done eating, the whole vibe was just uncomfortable to the point it felt like we were not welcomed, i feel bad for the lady who was serving us they had here running everywhere and i sensed the discomfort from her as well, almost like she knew that we knew what was going on. The food was whatever nothing special just noticed the huge portions and really messy. Sorry i was born with brown skin, maybe talk to your workers about not being intimidated by someone who is not white. I would love to hear back from you guys as i know you video tape the inside, let's see the footage and see what you think.
