I love the breakfast here! I get the scrambled eggs, hash-browns, and the gluten free bread which is phenomenal! Super good quick breakfast spot!! read more

Food is always great. Walking in they always greet me with a smile, and hello. The girls are always right on top of everything. Have been going there for over 30 years. read more

HORRIBLE is what I can say: Waited over an hour for eggs toast hash browns and BURNT corned beef hash. When we complained the server said they were short staffed and she said if you are not happy then don't come back!, Trying to support an independent local business but NOT anymore! Do not eat there: obviously they dont need our business. I would give them no stars if I could. Bill was $35 and they charged my debit card $44. Need I say more? read more

It's been a couple of years since I've dined in here. It is much cleaner, with better organized seating. The ceilings are disgusting, dropped a star down for that. All of the servers were super friendly, attentive and worked as a team. Our drinks were delicious! The food was great too, our only critique would be the lettuce used on the burger. They should replace iceberg lettuce with a different kind of green. There's not many restaurants this way so I really appreciate the effort this business makes in the community to provide customers with a quality meal and service. read more

We got to Cala's for brunch and the service was slow and waited over an hour for our food. The waitress didn't come around asking if we needed anything. We usually had good service but today they were off! read more

The quality and taste of the food was excellent. The time it took for breakfast to be served took way too much time. It took over 30 minutes for the meal to arrive read more

We come here often for breakfast and I've never been disappointed. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We love it here.

my bacon was burnt af and tasted like burnt rubber. and the workers where very rude they need too cook there bacon better come on bro it taste like rubber read more

I have been to Calas kitchen a few times and each time I came here I liked it a lot. Calas is one of those places that you grew up with. The decoration is sparse but what matters here is the food. Each time I was here, I've been here for the breakfast service and one time for dinner service. From the front of the place looks like they have limited parking but when you go around the back, there is tons of parking. The breakfast really feels home cook and comfort food. Everything was really flavorful and anything I needed was greeted with a smile and no problem. The pricing is also great. You won't go broke eating here for sure. Over all I love this place and will be back for sure. read more

Have gone here multiple times, food is sub par and service is even worse. Will not go back.

If there was a zero star rating, this place earned it. Food way below average, small portions, and prices beyond ridiculous. I get it. Inflation is killing everyone but I went here years ago and while the prices were high, the portions were ok. Now, the portions are insulting, quality sub par, and prices are over the top...never again! read more

Waaay to expensive and tiny portions. And the worst coffee I ever had. For sure go somewhere else. Oh the bull sheet 5 star are a joke please your a moron read more

Stop here for lunch about 2 months ago because we were working at Lakeshore school. Food was great! The owner is a great guy. Comes out to make sure you had a good meal. All in all a great find in Derby! read more

I eat here every time I'm in Derby, it's literally some of the friendliest service I've ever had... The (Owner? Manager?) walks around no matter how busy it is, and greets everyone, asks how they are, and refills coffee and water himself. He always has a song or a compliment to offer. The service is fast, the pancakes (and all breakfast items, actually) are delicious... The coffee is great (extra points for flavored creamers) I've never eaten dinner here, but I imagine it would be up to the same standards. It's a pleasure coming here. read more

Came in for a late breakfast and had a not so good experience. The eggs on our sandwiches came out wrong, same with the pancake I ordered. She dropped off the food and never came back to check on us so I wasn't able to tell her the food was wrong until the end. On top of that when I finished eating there was a hair on the plate. Normally I wouldn't ever review bad for calas since I come pretty often and had never had a problem. The waitress only took off the pancakes because I didn't touch it. She also made a comment saying "you didn't notice your eggs were wrong until you finished it" actually no you just never checked on us and I wasn't gonna wait for another meal. If that was me I wouldn't have charged for the meal with the hair on it either. We ended up tipping 20% as always. She did say she messed up the order. The whole situation was just very strange and should've been handled differently. read more

This is a wonderful diner type place (that's actually called Cala's Kitchen & Catering) that serves great breakfast. It is the type of place where firemen and locals come to read the paper in the morning. I have been here twice and everything always goes smoothly. The service is quick and attentive. There is something on the menu for just about everyone. They have sourdough toast, is there really much more to say? read more

We like to visit this cute place when we are in town visiting my parents. Not gonna lie, I am biased because I grew up on this place but I still feel its good quality food, cheap prices and a friendly local business! Try their Vinny's hot fries- its a must! read more

We went there today may 15 , 2016 at 12:15pm , seated ourselves, and waited a very long time until 3 people who just walked in were served before us and we left. I have to say though that when the portly jolly man is working , i think he is the owner as i have eaten there many times before, the service was great and he goes out of his way to please customers. Unfortunately he was no where in sight today and i am not sure if i will return to see again . read more

My wife and I have had breakfast and lunch here quite a few times and haven't had a bad meal yet. The service is always good, the food is top notch for a small diner, the prices a very reasonable and the owner/manager always stops by to check on your meal. It's great having this place around the corner! read more

I go out to eat probably more than I should. So when I have a good experience I want to yell it from the rooftops. This restaurant had THEE best customer service and I had the BEST BLT I've ever had. I'm already looking forward to returning!! read more

always a great place to stop and eat. Great selection, service, portions and quality! keep up the good work Vinney.

Hi Vinny!...-Hey Calas has great chow!!...If Vinny(the owner) is there he will come out and chat with you..he's a great guy!..his food is of good quality and i've never had a bad meal there! read more

Absolutely love this place. Food is always great, staff is friendly and good. The owner is a hoot and adds lots of personality to the experience. I have also used their catering service several times and it is totally on point. Don't miss this place for weekend breakfast or lunch. read more

Food was decent but the service was lacking. Walked in after church around 10:45, waited five minutes for someone to acknowledge that we were there. Told to seat ourselves (A simple sign suggesting that we seat ourselves would've sufficed but not a big deal). After waiting 15 minutes, the order was finally taken (at 11:01 according to the bill). We then continued to wait almost 45 minutes (11:44 to be exact) until two of us were served breakfast while the other two of us continued to wait another 8 minutes for our meal and one of those meals was served cold (eggs luke warm and cheese shreds still cold and not melted). In the meantime, others patrons around us who came in upwards of 20 minutes after us finished their breakfast and paid their bill before we were served. It was clear that the server failed to put the order in because it was a simple breakfast that would take no more than five minutes at home yet there were no apologies for the delay whatsoever! The food was was good but it is highly unlikely that we will return because the service was so lacking. A simple apology for the delays would've been fine but was never offered with multiple opportunities to do so. It was good to see the owner of the place moving around and engaging with the customers which makes us feel bad for our decision not to return. read more

Great food if you are not in a hurry.....The servers tend to stand around on their phones right in front of the customers.. Seems they could be doing something other then that with their time like helping the slow as molasses cooks? read more

Vinny is very generous when some one needs help.This man will be blessed because of that attitDianeude.His business is clean,waitress are friendly and the best food. read more

I never knew about Cala's until meeting a nice boy from Derby. I wasn't sure what to think when we pulled up into a mini strip mall for my first experience there. We found a booth for ourselves and ordered. My ham and cheese omelet was amazing, as was the service. During our breakfast, the owner walked around the diner, asking customers how their meal was and how they were doing. He even mentioned my bf's family by name. This kind of service goes a long way for me. We have spent many a Saturday morning chowing down at Cala's and plan to for many more years to come. read more

Not sure why most of these reviews say they have quick service.. I just spent over a half an hour waiting for my breakfast! It's not like cooking scrambled eggs would be hard.. Had to get two drinks because we waited so long which at $3 a pop for orange juice was almost as much as my meal! The food was ok but def NOT worth a half hour wait luckily I had nothing else to do today.. Although my brother in law had to go to work and it made him late.. Probably wouldn't go back read more

Cala's kitchen was our Mom's favorite place in Derby to go after church on Sundays. So when our Mom passed away, we knew to contact Vinny immediately to cater her luncheon reception. He put together a brunch feast of her favorites, including chocolate chip pancakes. We also had a special request for self serve ice cream sundaes (because our mom loved ice cream), and he was able to provide ice cream, toppings and sprinkles. Vinny was so helpful over the phone and it was reassuring knowing that everything would be taken care of. His food is consistently delicious, his prices are reasonable and Vinny always makes sure his customers are happy. That is why we love Cala's Kitchen for both dining in and catering. Thank you, thank you, thank you Vinny for making our mom feel so special when she came to Cala's Kitchen over the years, and thank you for all of your help in planning her Funeral Brunch. read more
