I highly recommend coming here!

Our server was very helpful but stretched very thin. It is very convenient having an elevator right up to the restaurant. The restrooms are right there. On this day which was Mother's Day two of the toilets in the women's room were out of service. I think the ambiance is so awesome right on the river with plenty of windows to watch the boats.

I've been coming to Kalmes for over 10+ years. The food has always been exceptional, and that's…read morehonestly the only reason we continue to come back. The kitchen consistently does a fantastic job, and I've never had a complaint about the quality of the meals. Unfortunately, the service has steadily gone downhill over the past 6-7 years. The bartenders are very unfriendly, sometimes outright rude, and many don't seem to have much experience mixing drinks. Politeness and a smile never hurts in the customer service industry especially if you are the first person customers see when entering your establishment. We come in about every two weeks if not more and the past few years it feels like there's a different bartender every time which makes it difficult to build any familiarity or feel welcomed as a regular customer. There used to be the same two or three girls every weekend but now it seems 10 more have been unnecessarily added. High turnover is noticeable, and it definitely affects the overall experience. One thing many of us longtime customers have noticed is that the atmosphere doesn't feel the same as it did when more family members seemed to be involved in running the business. It used to have a warm, welcoming feel that made people want to return. Now, that sense of hospitality seems to be missing. And good luck finding anyone with the last name Kalmes outside the kitchen. I genuinely want to see this restaurant succeed. The food is outstanding and deserves the loyal customer base it has built over the years. The Kalmes family in general is an amazing family and they deserve to continue their hometown legacy. However, exceptional food can only make up for poor service for so long. I believe they could benefit from reevaluating the front-of-house staff, investing in better training, and placing a greater emphasis on friendly, consistent customer service. I've waited a long time before posting this because I hoped things would improve and I also wanted to gather opinions from my fellow diners, as expected many of them agree with my sentiments. Unfortunately, after my most recent visit a 3 weeks ago, I experienced the same issues yet again--a new bartender who struggled to make basic drinks and wasn't particularly welcoming. It's disappointing because this restaurant has so much potential. I sincerely hope they can address these concerns, because I'd love to see it become the place it used to be!

Great all you can eat special with shrimp and fried chicken. Both were delicious. The chicken is…read moresalted perfectly and super juicy! All the sides were great as well. The service was super nice and the property is beautiful. You can also feed the catfish in the pond outside. Only complaint - super weird that they only bring out one more piece of chicken at a time per person when you do the all you can eat. It makes you have to ask repeatedly for more. They start you with 2 per person and the one each time after that. Not a fan of that system but the chicken was sooooo good.

Man, this place doesn't need our business with how many people are making the haul and waiting to…read moreeat. I read about this being a "must" when in the area and made the 50 minute drive from Sabula with the girls in tow arriving just before 6 on a Saturday. I did not realize you drive thru the actual state park and then down the dustiest road in America to get there. My car was covered in dust (and bugs from the rest of the drive) on arrival. We were told it would be about 30 minutes and went outside to feed the fish and ducks. It was probably less than that time when our buzzer went off and we were seated in the tiny dining room. I feel like they should serve in the bar area where there are more tables instead of making people wait so long. They could double the occupancy. But maybe not enough staff? We got the haddock special for two of us and another went with grilled cheese. I have to say it was really dry. And the tartar sauce was totally smooth and grey - I didn't even know what it was when the server first put it down. The fries are wedge and fine, but I'm not a fan of wedge style so I didn't really eat them. Good coleslaw. Surprising they have no desserts. I guess it just helps to move people in and out because there are signs up too telling you not to linger (in nicer words). We stopped at McDonald's on the way home for McFlurries and that seemed to make the kids happy. Maybe it was an off batch (we only had one plate) but I'm not sure I'd want to make this trip again.
