a year agoA diner most people don't know exist, or walk right pass without knowing it's right above them! Karl's is located in downtown Detroit in the Siren Hotel, second floor! A step back in time is what Karl's offers, that and some seriously good food! Hot, fresh and well prepared food, with generous portions, prices are just right for what you get! A wide variety of food is available here, including some of your favorite comfort foods. Next time you're in Detroit look up! Stop by Karl's today!

4 years agoOld school diner with typical diner dishes - all day breakfast, milkshakes etc. The only thing is they don’t carry diner desserts. For example, they have banana pudding on the menu but none was available. And then I overheard from the next table they didn’t have whipped cream for milkshakes. No whipped cream? Besides the limited dessert menu, the wedge salad was perfectly delicious. I highly recommend going but be weary if you have a sweet tooth because you may be disappointed.

4 years agoWe enjoyed everything about Karl’s. The hotel lobby and the restaurant were dimly lit and decorated with retro furnitures. Everyone seemed to be just eating and relaxing there, and we didn’t feel rushed. Orange juice was fresh, and the pancake was the best I’ve ever had. The Irish breakfast was also delicious, and the service was great. We will be back to eat the same thing and to tryout something new!!

4 years agoA gem of beauty Superior waitress, superb chefs, amazing price, an overwhelming breathe taken experience. The breakfast pictured was The Irish breakfast and Pancakes for the table. Tasted great.Coffee and Organic Tea well fitted for your pallet. Included in the experience was Vallet parking. You can have a piece of history located in The Siren Hotel

4 years agoI’ve been to Karl’s for both brunch and dinner, and it is definitely more of a brunch spot. The menu is pretty much the same all day. The breakfast pancakes are great, but for dinner the food was really just okay. Extremely limited menu choices. I’d recommend this place for brunch in the morning and cocktails in the evening, though, since it has incredible style and amazing aesthetic!

6 years agoI was not having the best day and this place truly pit the comfort in comfort food. It is elevated and sophisticated without being pompous or bougie. Diners were always my comfort places and this just really hit the spot from the coffee to the music to that personal connection. I had an off menu item which was an open faced buffalo chicken sandwich which just truly was perfectly balanced with bleu cheese and dill. The funny thing is I usually do not like dill nor do I like open sandwiches. This place had me convinced that they are something to really take seriously. The sauces here are made in house and you can easily tell. There is so much potential in a restaurant/diner such as this and I look forward go seeing what else it can dish out! I am so glad that I found this place and definitely would return!

6 years agoKarl’s is a great spot! We enjoyed brunch this weekend at Karl’s, and it’s a really fun, delightful, and whimsical place. It feels like a 1940’s era diner with an avocado color scheme, chrome diner seats, fabric light fixtures, and little maps, post cards, and old family photos to complete the look. Oh and the food and service were both top notch.

6 years agoThe food was amazing! You enter through the hotel below and take the stairs to the left. When you get to the top you’ll be in this old diner style restaurant. It’s decently priced for the amount of food you get. If you are looking for a lot of food options I would skip this place. Their anytime menu is a little smaller but it works for them because the food was great. Definitely a place you should go to at least once.
