★★★☆☆ 3.0 Zarielle (ZariTravelEats Yelp Elite) · Feb 2026

Went here Saturday night shortly after 8 pm. It wasn’t busy at all; everyone inside was only sitting at the bar. Lots of tvs inside with different games showing on them. Waitress was informative on menu items and also very attentive. To drink: I got their Saturday special, a $6 Strawberry Margarita (8/10) it was good and decently strong. Got to taste a sip of their Hunch Punch (0/10) tasted like nothing but pineapple juice and no alcohol, unfortunately. To eat: we started with the Grande Nachos with chicken (8.5/10) they were flavorful and actually pretty tasty though appearance wise, we were nervous on how’d they taste. I also ordered the Southwest Steak Wrap (5/10) I ended up having to send my plate back because my steak wasn’t cooked medium, it was originally far past well done and ha

Came on a Sunday and it was pretty busy but we were seated immediately. Our server was great and she was working HARD, she was the only one working our whole section. Hubby got fish tacos which he loved, I got the smash burger but was a bit disappointed because it was fairly thick, not smashed thin like I expected. It was still delicious though. Had a great night.

I've been going here for years. It's a great Sunday NFL spot with every game on. Bartenders and wait staff has been the for years, so it's like "Cheers". 😁🍺 Good positive atmosphere.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Travis Downing · Dec 2025

Don’t do the $12 smash burger if you’re hungry. The meat patty was the size of a slider …or something you’d get on a fast food dollar-menu. I thought I was being punk’d!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kelly Foreman · Feb 2026

The food took a long time to come out and it all tasted like frozen fast food. I had a crab cake sandwich. Worst I've ever had. It was still cold and wet in the middle. Than I had the crab dip that tasted like sour cream, bread crumbs and imitation crab something . I've visited Kelly's a few times when I visited VB. Never left a bad review whether good or bad. But this time my entire party Also complained of the food and the service. We had to go the bar for our drinks because only 1 waitress was working. It was a mess to say the least $300 later we had pizza for dinner.
