Kaelin’s Has Closed

The restaurant that is said to have invented the cheeseburger has closed.  Kaelin’s, of Louisville, KY, was purchased from the daughter of the original owners in 2004 by Clark Property Solutions.  They said business has been down and they faced “real estate and operational” hurdles.  They are officially calling the situation “closed for remodeling,” but it doesn’t sound very promising.  Read more in The Courier-Journal of Louisville.

Pictured above, in a buffetbuster photo from the Roadfood.com review, is a plate of mini-cheeseburgers at Kaelin’s.

Too bad!  Although I thought the burgers here were ordinary, all the other things I tried (Hot Brown, fried chicken, green beans, etc.) were quite good.  Let's hope this is only temporary.

Darn it, I knew we should've visited last week when we were in Louisville...

We certainly enjoyed Kaelin's when we had dinner there last November. The fried chicken was excellent and the service was, too.  And it was incredibly convenient if you were heading to/from the Louisville Airport.

that's sad news. We ate there in October and really enjoyed it.  Very good fried pickles.
