4.6 is the current Google rating at the time of this review.

I wasn’t expecting to do a review but decided to since I was there. Kelly’s was busy since it was lunchtime. Our waitress was friendly and brought food out timely.

They make their own taco shells here which I give them credit for. I would say they’re around 6/10. Food was average, decent atmosphere.

It’s one large rectangular room, the bar lines one side and booths along the opposite wall with tables I between. The ladies bathroom door butts up to a table, so not only is that a bit awkward but the bathroom is a tiny one person bathroom.

I would probably come here again.

For us, it was a mixed review, some of my family enjoyed the food and a couple didn't. The " big crazy" was good and HUGE! It could use a little more spice, but all and all was good and I only ate half it was so big, the boys managed to eat it all somehow. The nachos were pretty small ( appetizer sized, but maybe the intention?), at least the beef and cheese ones. My daughter had spinach and cheese quesadillas and was not impressed at all. Said the spinach wasn't good. Burgers were good, my son enjoyed it. Service was very good. A note for those that have never gone there, cash or check only, no cards BUT they do have an ATM on site. Guessing to avoid card fees? I was a decent experience for burgers and the big crazy.

Vegetarian options: Limited but has options and you can tweek what they have. What my daughter ate though she was not impressed with.

Irish meets Mexican Food, great selection of things to eat. Not the fanciest place but has things I can’t find elsewhere.

NOT KID FRIENDLY!!!! If you wanna be disrespected and kicked out - then this is the place for you. DISGUSTED with the behavior of the owner. DO BETTER!

Guacanachos had a decent flavor to them.... but for ten chips to be charged over 10 dollars isnot worth the money at all.The flautas were not very good. They were priced at over 5 each and very dry, even the sour cream couldn't help it.The beef enchiladas were decent, my daughter enjoyed them.The potato and cheese enchiladas my wife had were good as well... nothing to brag about.The beans and rice stole the show they were both great on their own and mixed together.Maybe I just came on an off day?The lack of atmosphere and interaction from the service crew seals the deal for me though.Back of the house could be heard from the dining area sounded like they were good friends and that's where the action was at!I don't think I'll be spending money here again.

We meet friends here nearly every Monday. Consistently​ great food and fast prep time, great service.

Even dining here off our normal schedule, the wait staff is always top notch.
