Had our department Christmas luncheon yesterday and let me tell you - Lynn and staff were very accommodating & pleasant and made the entire process of hosting this event a breeze. We sent in a pre-order and requested specific times for appetizers and meals to come out and they did not disappoint. Everything came out on time and they were consistently checking in to refill drinks and remove empty dishes. THANK YOU KELLY'S STAFF !!! Please know that you are appreciated and we will be back next year for our department Christmas luncheon!!!!
Had to visit when in town from ireland - Lynn was so warm and welcoming - lovely to chat with and fun. Make sure and stop by - lovely decor and food was quality - we met Lenny too who was a gentleman - lovely customers all happy to sit and chat - good vibes and good times!
I am from a small town, in the city on business. I needed lunch and saw Kelly's. If you want to escape from the busy city and have the best home town service and Delicious food I highly recommend Kelly's
It seems more and more difficult to find an Irish Pub. Today I stumbled into Kelly's for lunch. The atmosphere was exactly what a small hometown Irish Pub should be! The food did not disappoint and the Guinness was nice and cold! I will absolutely return. I highly recommend this spot as they offer good food at a very reasonable price!
We had the meatloaf! It was outstanding and it’s the owners grandma’s recipe! The food is always so fresh and tasty!
A big "hospitality thank you" to Lynn for keeping this place alive downtown. There aren't many places left that have survived the ups and downs of the last 15 years (they used to be located across the street) and I am so glad this place still exists. Excellent service, food quality, and some interesting beverages (ask what's in the cooler). Also the small town ambiance of an "Old Irish bar" wins this girl's heart every time. Definitely try it out if you haven't yet.
Love this place! We made it a tradition to stop in after Silver Bells every year!! The Mac n cheese is fantastic and love the atmosphere!! The corned beef is also delicious!!
I got the fish and chips. So good! I was also sat at a table that was unexpectedly perfect. Quiet though the place was full of people. Awesome service too. I had a fantastic time and will definitely be going back.
