Absolutely remarkable spot. So delicious. Bbq chicken plate, rice and beans with jerk sauce poured onto it, spicy cabbage, sweet cornbread, and sweet tea… it can’t be beat. Kelly is the BEST.

Best jerk in town. Been to Kelly’s for 5+ years. I recommend everything on the menu including the patties and specialty drinks. Food is amazing, jerk is spicy, the folks who work there do God’s work. 10/10

One of the best restaurants in Athens. The cabbage is magical.
When you come to Athens, you have to get Kelly’s! Delicious and they give a lot of food!

Coming from a Jamaican I am very disappointed in this food, I had lunch and the quality of the food isn’t great. Options weren’t available as were listed on the menu at lunch time, my food wasn’t shared with love. And the it’s OVER PRICED. I ate it cause I paid my money. So disappointing

Honestly, I was not blown away by my first time eating here. Oxtails were good, and the peas and rice were needed to balance the richness out, but the mac and cheese was just okay. Loved the corn bread and how it was spiced.

food here was pretty good. i gave 1 star for service because the guy putting my food on the plate started coughing and hocking up spit. none of the workers were friendly or had a smile on their face and i just felt very unwanted in their presence, which no customer should ever feel. restaurant looked okay, not the cleanest i’ve seen. regardless, i will not be coming back.

Really wanted Jamaican food. Upon arrival it's was a don't care attitude. One could tell by way food was served and tasted. No recommended.

CAUTION! ONCE YOU EAT HERE YOU WILL WANT TO EAT HERE EVERYDAY! the food is so good. the cornbread tastes like a sweet dessert the chicken is tender fall of the bone and seasoned so well. the patties are so fluffy and filled. Can't say enough, everything is tasty.

The food was okay but what was not okay was the server blowing his nose and coughing while putting the food in the container. He blew his nose in a tissue and had the tissue in his hand while grabbing the container to put the food in. That was absolutely disgusting. With viruses going around especially COVID ramping up this summer, that was careless and unsanitary. Also, there were a few sides including plantains that they didn’t have anymore of and that was very disappointing. That would be my last time going there.
