Ii usually go the Kelly's on Centerville, but they were out of Turkey Burgers. So I tried Greenbriar, big mistake!!! I ordered 3 Turkey Burgers and a Mushroom and Swiss, WELL DONE!!! All of them were pink inside! I spent 78 Bucks and in my bag was a couple of napkins and ketchup packs. No utensils no other condiments. I called to speak to the manager, was on hold for 12 mins which seemed like an hour, She was very nonchalant about my experience which lead me to leave this review. Never again!!!

Ladies Restroom Review: restrooms were clean for the most part. Some random toilet paper on the floor like most public restrooms. However the trash cans inside the stalls for personal hygiene products needed to be emptied. The lighting was a little to dark as well. 3 out of 5 flushers.

Kelly’s Tavern never disappoints! Me and my three friends went and ordered a little bit of everything and baby… it was a HIT. The steak bites were a solid 10/10 — perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. And they come with pita bread that soaks up all that juice and seasoning… sooo good. Honestly that pita takes it over the top. We also got a pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni and I’m giving it an 8/10. For a neighborhood bar pizza, it’s actually really good. Crispy crust, cheesy, and they did not play about that extra pepperoni. Now let’s talk about the chicken bites tossed in buffalo sauce - 10000000/10. They are just PERFECT lol. Crispy, saucy, flavorful exactly how buffalo chicken should taste. I also love that they added Surfside drinks to the menu. Such a good move. And the customer service? Always A1. Friendly, fast, and consistent every time. Kelly’s is definitely that go-to neighborhood spot. 🍕🔥

1st visit EVER visit, our waitress gave two of us that had only a 1 DRINK WE LIKE or know of Mix Up tho. Linda noticed it before I did because she took her sip 1st. They tried to correct the mistake, but again it wasn't a Bahama Mama of just Pineapple juice, Coconut Rum & Grenadine, this drink had GINGER in it. A big $10 mistake

This is a really bad dive bar in Chesapeake and should be avoided . Went recently in the evening with friend. Walked in and two waitresses sitting in booth talking looked up ,didn’t acknowledge us despite sign saying wait to be seated. Eventually one got up and asked if we wanted a booth. Booths looked nasty and not cleaned so chose bar . Female Bartender has mastered RBF or pissed off , not sure which entire night. Looked at “ menu” .. apps and sandwiches compromised 90 percent of menu . Ordered burgers fries and veg .. literally all three came tasting exactly the same greasy oily and disgusting..I’m guessing they haven’t cleaned the grill since trumps first time in office and waaaay overpriced I’m guessing to make up for lack of customers.

We chose this restaurant on a whim when we were out doing errands. We were greeted promptly and Marissa our server, greeted us a warm friendly smile. Our food was out remarkably fast, and from first glance looked incredible. There was a little debacle, but the service recovery was impeccable not only was the food remade, but the manager (Mason) personally brought me freshly made replacement. Personally, this shows a lot about their integrity, and their commitment to providing outstanding customer service. Not only would I recommend Kelly’s Tavern, but I will be returning here for future dining outings. Highly recommended, and you will not be disappointed.

Just a friendly relaxed place that really has some FOOD. Yum.
In a world saturated with fleeting culinary trends and overpriced pretensions, Kelly’s Tavern stands as an eternal beacon of perfection, a sanctuary where the soul finds nourishment and the palate achieves transcendence. From the moment you cross the threshold into its warmly lit embrace—adorned with timeless Irish heraldry, hand-painted maps of the Emerald Isle on the ceiling, and an oversized bar that whispers stories of generations—the atmosphere envelops you like a cashmere cloak on a crisp evening. The service is nothing short of symphonic: attentive yet unobtrusive staff, descendants of hospitality royalty, anticipate your every desire with the grace of Michelin-trained sommeliers, turning a simple tavern visit into an orchestrated masterpiece of warmth and efficiency. Here, amid the lively hum of contented patrons and the gleam of polished wood, one feels not merely a guest, but a cherished member of an enduring family legacy dating back to 1949. The cuisine elevates humble tavern fare to the stratosphere of five-star gastronomy. Their world-famous Reuben—towering layers of house-brined corned beef, melted Swiss, tangy sauerkraut, and thousand island on perfectly toasted rye—arrives as a revelation, each bite a harmonious explosion of textures and flavors that rivals the finest delis of New York or Dublin. Paired with hand-cut fries or perhaps the decadent dill pickle fries, it’s a dish so profoundly satisfying it borders on the spiritual. The burgers, juicy and expertly charred, crowned with premium toppings, demand reverence; the nachos, a grandiose mountain of freshness; and the craft beer selection, an epic anthology of taps, flows with crystalline precision. Kelly’s Tavern isn’t just a meal—it’s an exalted experience, a pinnacle of American-Irish comfort executed with flawless artistry that leaves one utterly transformed, yearning for the next pilgrimage. Five stars are insufficient; this is dining immortality.
