    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!!

    Came here due to Yelp reviews as we were traveling through the area on vacation. Am very grateful…read morewe made the stop. This restaurant/bar is located in the heart of downtown Ennis. The preserved historic facade is a much appreciated gateway to the past. The same rustic theme passes through to the interior with some obvious upgrades. It's inviting yet you know it's a bar too...the food doesn't seem to be the focus yet it definitely should not be missed. We sat ourselves and the bartender quickly arrived with menus and asked for our drink order. This girl had to hustle as she was tending bar, cleaning tables, placing and serving orders...felt a little sorry that she had so much on her plate, but she never lost her smile and appeased every customer easily. Food came out quicker than I expected since it was a one-woman show, but the cook is somewhere in the back and he helped bringing out plates. My husband had "The Gunsmoke" (classic smash burger), added cheddar cheese. My friend and I had "The Outlaw" smash burger (bacon, bleu cheese, bourbon grilled onions) and my other friend had the chicken tenders. The burgers were heavily seasoned (some complained of too much salt, though to me it was perfect), tender and juicy even though the burgers were leaning more towards medium well than medium. All ingredients were a perfect compliment to each burger. The Outlaw is incredibly rich since there aren't any fresh veggies to cut the richness, but that's also part of its charm. The rosemary French fries were crisp tender, seasoned well...utterly scrumptious in every sense of the word. My friend also enjoyed the chicken tenders....fried without being overdone and lightly seasoned. Drink refills were frequent and never had to ask. Price was very reasonable considering how much food we had and how delicious it all was. $35 for excellent service, wonderful juicy burgers and drinks was well worth every cent! Just an FYI - bathrooms are very outdated, though somewhat charming at the same time....probably the worst part of the visit, though not off-putting enough to not use. Odd that there was a young child sitting at the bar with their mother but maybe it's a small town thing...it did make me feel a little uncomfortable.

    Delicious food and excellent service. Recommend the smash burgers and the chicken pesto sandwich,…read morewith the rosemary paper fries of course. A place that would make Miss Kitty proud.
