Everything was much improved since the last time I was here. I had a burger and the friend had fish and chips. Everything was wonderful and the service was fantastic.

The food was solid for bar food. Service was HORRIBLE. I ordered a drink from Tara and she had a HORRIBLE attitude. She barely greeted us and she made me feel like I was bothering her the entire night even asking for water refills. My drink was made wrong twice & she got my food order wrong, which is preposterous given that she actually spent more time talking to one of the cooks than she did servicing her customers. Many of us at the bar were annoyed, waiting & ultimately had to flag down someone else just to get service.
I recently moved nearby and was excited that there was a Kelly’s so close but after this experience, I’ll be spending my money elsewhere.

Low key restaurant with excellent background music. Outdoor and indoor tables for dining. Nice bar that allows smoking. I personally love the atmosphere and the workers are extremely pleasant and ready to serve. The food is excellent and at a good price. It is well worth the visit. Recently visited Kelly's. Met several friends. Had an order of southwestern rolls that were fantastic with a couple of bourbon and Cokes with a slice of lime. Sat outside and had a wonderful time. Look forward to going there again soon. It is always a great time!!!!

Decided to randomly wake up one day and didnt want to eat in CT……. I made a 9 hour trip down to VA to check out this establishment. And boy was i glad i did……. I hate burgers……. And the cook, cooked my burger so perfectly, i scarfed down the burger in just a few bites…….. as well as their wings. Beautifully sauced up wings. Cooked to perfection. They will make them exactly how you order them. I was not disappointed in this trip for food. Make sure You guys ask for Heem. He is the most respectful cook, and knows what he doing. Takes his job very seriously and with a passion…….. you guys need to try this place out. Next i will be going to check their drink menu out…

Keep it up you guys

The server was wonderful, however she was the only one working so service was slow.

The food is extremely mediocre for how much it costs.

The crab dip had way too much Old Bay seasoning so it was nothing but pure salt in every bite.

The spinach dip was pretty good and the pita chips were both fluffy and crunchy.

The reuben sandwich was pretty bad. There wasn't enough sauerkraut, and the meat was so tough I had to tear it apart with my fingers to even take a bite, and it was like chewing on a fatty tire, and the bread was so greasy. 20$ for this sandwich is outrageous.

The best thing I had was a house salad with ceasar dressing.

Personally didn’t care for the food or the feeling of the place. This just isn’t my place I guess. When coming here just know their bar area is separate and enclosed. The people were fine. Food was sorta basic but not horrible. Try at least once.

went to play pool with my dad. Ordered a pitcher of ultra. Tasted very old and nasty. When i brought it to the bartenders attention she stated that she does not drink it so she doesn’t know. The proper thing would’ve been to offer us a new one. I should’ve know something was off when i went into the bathroom and got hit with a strong sewage smell.
