★★★★☆ 4.0 Starr Davis · Mar 2025

What a fun place to be, lively atmosphere, family friendly, and drinker’s welcome, especially like the separation between bar area and dinner section. Service was great. Drinks are wonderful. They have a good selection of mock tails, outside of the even better selections of alcoholic drinks. Food- it depends: Wagyu burger-juicy, delicious, mouthwatering. French onion soup- too salty, cheese was tasty Chicken potpie- good portion and delicious Steak bites- hard to chew, don’t recommend Corn beef and cabbage- delicious So take your pick ☺️ Our overall experience was satisfactory and do recommend this place. With St, Patrick’s Day is around the corner, check out the events they will be hosting.

We went in to eat in the dining room. But it seems like the type of place u could sit at the bar and b a regular, where everybody knows ur name. The waiter we encountered was a wonderful young man who was patient with my Mama D telling him she wants him to bring her 2 25 year old men. 🙄 Come to think of it he did point out one. The customers were nice and chit chatting with us. Food was good I got the Octoberfest special on the final night and it was simple but enough for 2 meals. I like the place. And looks like they are doing some sort of Thanksgiving meal.

CLEAN PLATES ALL AROUND! NO TO GO BOXES NEEDED! Literally the first time in a while that my family didn't ask for a box. We were so full but couldn't stop eating! The Sheppards pie was the best I've ever had, the cod fish and chips were perfectly flaky and not dry or wet served with truffle fries, and the Jimmy lew sandwich was perfectly blackened and also not dry. All around a happy table and the 3 of us are stuffed for $75 total for our food (no drinks)

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Mark David Garrison · Jul 2025

For brunch we tried the eggs benedict, chili, and loaded fries. The chili was made with beef rather than ground beef, and that was a plus. However, it was dense and thick, without a stew or soup quality to it. The loaded fries were soggy, and the cheese was not fully melted and already cold. Lots of bacon, though. The eggs benedict had properly poached eggs, but the hollandaise had sat under the warming light to the point of complete separation and become runny. I really do not get how this happened, as the food came out quickly. I get the chili being a reward of yesterday's chili that may have been made even earlier. The real star of the meal was 1 dollar oysters. These were well worth it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Vicki S. · May 2025

Loved the food. Service great. The group of 5 I was with, raved over every entre we were served. We all agreed this was a place we would come back to. We'll add Kelseys to the top of our list. (We'll each have a list of places to try, and a main list we keep of where we loved to go again). 5☆ We went back yesterday, the food is still very good But...they cut the portions almost in half. We were VERY surprised. I also got the Chicken Pot Pie and wished I didn't.I The gravy was watery and the Pie pastry was undercooked. The highlights of this visit was the fantastic Mussel appetizer and the Creame Brulae. 3.5☆
