Ordered from Karl's for the first time ever about 2 weeks ago, enjoyed it so much returned to a week later. Their ribs, pulled pork, smoked turkey, brisket and tri-tip special are outstanding. I highly recommend experiencing Karl's for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Just left after eating here for the first time, I can already say that this place is one of the best restaurants near here. The staff were very polite and talkative. The food here was also amazing, their cheese curds are very juicy. I really like the color scheme, as well as the space. There weren't very many people which made it quiet and enjoying. I was there for around thirty minutes and every second was enjoyable. I would 100% recommend for people wanting to try something new.

Eaten here many times and can say it's one of the best places in town. The pulled pork sandwich is my go too meal. The staff has always been friendly The store is clean and I like the color scheme. The food has always been perfectly done and delicious. I highly recommend this location if your craving some BBQ.

Wow! Was this food enjoyable and affordable. I feel bad for the guy working though. He was definitely alone and having a rough day. Still, he was polite and doing great. I will definitely do back.

We loved the brisket we ordered for x-mas dinner and our guests could say enough about how good it tasted. The staff was so pleasant to work with and offered suggestions on preparation and even which sauces went well together. Thank You Carl's, I'll definitely order from you again!

if you have ever wondered 'what do french fries taste like after they were cooked days ago and then briefly warmed in cooking oil', or 'should you measure the amount of mayo you put in your potato salad or just dump in the entire container', Karl's is a great place to try. You can watch through the window as people without masks or hair nets prepare your food from groceries apparently brought in from the supermarket as they are cooking. Hands down the worst meal I've paid money for in a long time, unusual to eat something that costs this much and think "This would have turned out better had I just made it at home myself." Bland, unseasoned food with grocery store ingredients. Undercooked, still doughy corn bread, BBQ sauce that is probably just Sweet Baby Ray's, I'm not sure why you would eat here. Oh also, poor, slow, and rude customer service. Ended up throwing most of the 'food' away.

The food is great,... But they always close down before dinner.. which it says it is open until 7pm but they really close before 5

We have booked Karl as our caterer for our wedding this summer. Karl is really easy to talk to and knows his way around the kitchen! At our tasting he provided large portions and a whole table spread of food. The charcoal chicken is juicy and the flavor is off the charts. The pulled pork, bbq ribs, brisket and all of the fixings were everything we were looking for. We highly recommend Karl to those who are looking for a great caterer at great prices!

We're at the drive thru on Saturday at 6:15 waiting over 15 minutes waiting for someone to talk on the intercom. Lights were all on, customers waiting, and my daughter went to go inside but the doors were locked. They don't close till 7 on Saturday. My daughter saw someone go into the back so I go up to the storage area where the meat is kept and knock on the door to see the employee slacking off on their phone. I ask why hasn't anyone taken our order. They say they are all out of food. I understand the ribs but how can you be completely out of food. They also said they even saw us but didn't feel like coming out and telling us directly that they were out. You could have put up a sign or something to tell us instead of making people wait. I'm really disappointed. One star and that's being generous

I ordered pulled chicken sandwich, and there bits of cartilage or bone in it. The beans as a side are delicious--the serving was pretty generous, so it was enough food for a meal for me on its own. My friend got the bacon cheeseburger, and they said it was okay, but not something they would want to get again.Overall, I wouldn't order food from here again, but if you do, try the brisket, avoid pulled chicken sandwich or burgers.

Absolutely delicious food and fast friendly service!

Troy Peters

Absolutely the best ribs ever. I had a rib platter with beans and mac & cheese. Wow is all I can say. My new favorite place in Eau Claire.

Sam Larsen

Awesome service. The owner was super nice and welcoming. Excellent food. Would highly recommend!

Delicious until I found what appears to be a rock in my brisket stuffed baked potato. Also the root beer tastes strange… can’t describe it but it does NOT taste like root beer.
