Used to go to Karla's years ago and then stopped taking trips to New Hope... but as a friend was visiting and he and my son asked to take a ride there, I thought it would be great to see if the place was still there. It was! It is still very inviting, we felt welcomed, the service was great, and the food was really good. There is certainly something cool about the way the set up of the restaurant lays out with the big windows, dimmed lighting, and almost funky house like spaces. It's almost as if stepping through rooms. The food was excellent and our waiter was super attentive, wish I could remember his name. Strongly suggest that, if in the area, you give these guys a try. Hope you enjoy!
Food was delicious! I got the seafood pasta which was so good! Fried chicken sandwich which I think was my favorite of what I tried. We also got the Brie and bacon jam burger which was pretty good but wish it had more bacon jam on it, the flavor was lacking slightly, but perfectly cooked burger. Our apps were amazing, the octopus was cooked perfectly and the poutine fries hit the spot. Drinks were decent - very very strong. The atmosphere was great and they played great music - wouldn't definitely go back.
We decided to try Karla’s after reading an online article about them. We went yesterday Monday for lunch. We were there when they opened so plenty of choices of where to sit. Everyone was super friendly and attentive without making you feel like they were hovering. We ordered the Mac and Cheese, a cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich. I’m not a big “slaw” fan but it was so good and complemented the sandwich perfectly. Everything we had was fresh and delicious. I also ordered a Coconut Pineapple margarita to sip during lunch. Karla’s definitely has a generous pour for their cocktails so I highly recommend splurging if you are so inclined. We are looking forward to returning soon
Sadly, from the moment we walked in the wait staff was rude and unpleasant as we got seated. For the first 15 minutes we were totally ignored even though there was a table being helped right across from us. The food here was the only saving grace here, but that alone couldn’t compensate from how sour our experience was. The Bloody Mary was really quite good and the French onion soup was a great balance, not too salty, perfectly cheesy bowl. It’s a bummer because we definitely will not be coming back.
We got there around 4 for early dinner, disappointed that they don’t serve entrees before 5p. We ended up having burgers. The portion was large but overcooked. We all asked for medium and all ended up getting well. Meat was dry. We also had Buffalo Wings and that was good. Note: NO gluten free options on menu.
Absolutely excellent brunch on Sunday. Broad selection, a cozy and fun environment, and outstanding service exceptionally helpful & friendly. The huevos rancheros was excellent, some of the best I've had. My new favorite brunch spot in the area! Highly recommend.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: YesTakeout: Yes
First off, they sat us immediately. Secondly, the prices were reasonable. Thirdly, the food was INCREDIBLE. The baked brie was delivered to our table still bubbling. Delicious, every bite. When the entrees came out I was stunned. I don't take photos of my food very often but I stopped mid-bite to take a photo of the Sesame-crusted Salmon. Their steak was delicious, too. Nothing short of gourmet. Cannot recommend enough!
Food and drinks are awesome. Tacos are delicious! Decors are super vibrant- got tons of pics with the sunflower wall ! Bestie and I had a great meal here. Service was bad though; staff were a mess.
We sat down and got seated immediately, there was only a few other people there. Ordered our food and sat for an hour before it came out. Never received bread like other customers in previous reviews. Ordered Mac and Cheese as an appetizer, and it came out with our food. NY Strip was ordered medium well, and it came out well. NY Strip didn't look like any other NY strip I have seen. Mashed potatoes were cold and undercooked. My bf gets an allergic reaction to raw fruits and veggies, which he experienced after eating the mashed potatoes. Fried Chicken was completely dry. I needed a side of sauce to dip it in so I could chew it. I've never even overcooked chicken like that at home. Waitress didn't really pay much attention to us. I had to ask for drink refills. Then my bf ran out to pay the meter and all of a sudden there were all the waitresses. Maybe they thought we were going to run out and not pay? I would have loved to give this place a good review because of the pictures from other reviews, but after this whole experience, I don't think I'll be back to this restaurant again. 75$ for a total letdown. Actually Mac and cheese was the only thing we enjoyed but couldn't even eat it all while we were there because it came out with our meals and had to leave to pay our meter because the food again took an hour with barely any customers, I'd hate to see them on a busy day. Parking: You have to pay meter parking. Meter Maid gave us a ticket after 17 mins. Arrived at 4:55PM. Got ticket at 5:17PM. I know I put in enough quarters to get us till 6:15PM. Called the police station and got it resolved. Make sure you check your time in and time out. And call them for discrepancies.
Been going to new hope for years and never tried Karla’s. That was a mistake because the food was awesome! Great brunch menu and service was good. Will definitely return.
