"For, I don 't know, 20 years or more, Kaysan 's south was a staple of our family. I 'd go there frequently growing up, get grouched at by the kitchen, and we continued going there long after I had a family of my own. Because it was just so wholesome and fun and delicious. And I think for all of us on the south side, its loss was a deep tragedy, one of the few highlights of this end of town. That said, I don 't know why it took us so long to venture up north. To spoiler the review a bit: It 's all the good parts of the south end and more, with none of the bad (They turn on the heater in winter). So that crazy unique blend of Mexican is still on the menu, with the stringy delicious cheese that 's burnt to the side of your plate on the burritos, and those unique taco shells, and those extra thick tortilla chips with the salsa dispensers that never work quite right, and that brown enchilada sauce that you don 't see anywhere else. It 's not authentic. It 's not 'tex-mex ' Banditos. It 's just totally unique and wonderful. And the Asian stuff is still there, the amazing bulgoghi and oriental chicken wings. And then also classic american burgers and modern boneless buffalo wings and two hearted IPA on draft. The menu reminds me of Rack Hellen 's from the east side, so eclectic! Very hard to do successfully, Gordon Ramsay would be shaking his head at the diverse selection, but they do pull it off and it 's all fantastic casual food. As a party that has a wheelchair, the open spaces were a welcome relief. This place is spacious, with plenty of televisions. Even without a wheelchair, it just feels better when you 're not butted up against another table. And I 'm not a huge sports guy, and the family room is tuned to other things, but I appreciated the multiple sports channels on display. It 's nice. And our server, Nicole without an 'h ' was wild. I know we 're not the first emigrants to head north, especially after so many years, but she was welcoming, indulged our reminisces, and made us feel like we 'd returned home. Thank you for a lovely Saturday. Final review: 4/5 food, 5/5 atmosphere and presentation, 6/5 sevice and nostalgia, and because it 's rad and the price is right and it 's Kaysan 's. We 'll be back for sure . And we did come back on Tuesday with 4 more family members looking for that Kaysan 's experience. They all left happy. Edit to the owner: Don 't kowtow to those filthy plebeians that say 'I want my salsa hot ' and then complain that it was actually hot. They deserve nothing but contempt. Get your house in order and kick these peasants out. Add ghost peppers. Thank you and god bless. And god bless the U.S.A."

Who doesn't love a place that serves coffee AND beer? We came here for dinner and didn't tap into the beers this time, but will definitely be back to

Here's the deal. I think sometimes people like a restaurant or the food they serve, because of nostalgia. Not necessarily because the food is stellar.... View menu

Lots of lounge room lizards up in here, mid life crisis old ladies with fake tans and smoke more cigarettes than Marlboro man chain smoking I tell you....

Great place to come if you want to watch the game or just sit at the bar for a little bit. Never have to wait for a table the food is good for realistic price. Lots of Mexican. Chicken wings are marketplace like every place else but they are good

Great atmosphere. Eating was phenomenal. I'm fucking close to everything that's rare for me. I have the patty melt. All that came from the kitchen was at the point! The Fajitas smell and look really good! Our server was very sweet and friendly as possible. She did a great job. We were a kind of picky group, but they have everything right and then some!

Because I don't know, 20 years or more, Kaysan 's south was a cornerstone of our family. I'd grow up there often, get swept through the kitchen, and we continued there long after I had a family of mine. Because it was just so good and fun and delicious. And I think for all of us on the south side, his loss was a deep tragedy, one of the few highlights of this end of the city. That said, I don't know why it took us so long to drive north. To spoil the review a bit: There are all good parts of the south and more, with none of the bad ones (you turn the heating in winter).

"My wife and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary here. My first reservation was for 7pm and I called earlier, the day of and requested an earlier time if 5:45. The obliged, to which I was very grateful for as this really made our night. Our server,Lauren, was sharp, knowledgeable, professional, and all around on point. Very informative with great recommendations. Housecocktails, my wife ordered James and the Giant Peach and I ordered the Golden Child, great movie btw. The golden child is nowmy favorite cocktail. I will learn this recipe For starters we ordered the blacken scallops. Best scallop dish I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, paired superbly with the bleu cheese crumbles and sweet and sour sauce. We also wanted to try the gouda andcrab dip, since it was a local favorite. It did not meat expectations but was a solid 7. For Entree, my wife ordered twinlobster tails, cooked perfectly. I ordered the prime rec, seemed to be a seasonal chef rec. Med rare, cooked perfectly with ahorseradish sauce on the side. FANTASTIC. Dessert we ordered the flaming donuts. Lauren, once again was superb, as she was theentire night. Dealing with what appeared to be a men's club type 10 top, us and another table or two, flambe'd those donutsperfectly, describing the process as she went. We also ordered the brownie, the ape butter spice cake and the apple caramelcheesecake all to go, for the inlaws, for watching or 3 year old. All deserts, were a hit. For me it was the golden child andthe blackened scallops, I will find out the recipes on these items for sure. FANTASTIC PLACE. will be back."
