The cozy restaurant earns glowing reviews from locals, and those passing through, who praise it as a gem that offers delicious food, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere.
You’ve got quite a few decisions during your visit, starting with where you’ll sit. Karla’s Restaurant offers indoor and bar dining, outdoor dining, and takeout.
Whether you eat at the restaurant or at home, you’ll likely have the delightfully delicious dilemma of what to order. How about a scrumptious appetizer like poutine fries or mac & cheese?
Don’t forget to ask about the soup of the day, or try a bowl of classic French onion. If you’ve never had the watermelon salad or the spinach salad, you’re in for a refreshing treat.
Sometimes a handheld just hits the spot – a fried chicken sandwich, a classic burger, or a short-rib & fried egg burger, for example. Pair it with a basket of fries for the perfect meal.
