“ This is everything I would ever want in a diner. You've got the lady at the counter with the southern Belle accent that makes it feel really homey when you come in no matter the time, I've never had a server that didn't actively engage in conversation with us, and you can SEE everything as they're making it. The food is also very good. My friend and I get something different every time but we love the chicken nachos as an appetizer. Their portions are also decently sized so it's seldom we eat there and need more food. This is definitely a reliable place I would go back to. ”
“ We went here because my husband's grandmother loves the place and wanted us to take her, I'm not huge on southern food and didn't have the highest hopes, needless to say I was completely blown away. First off everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, it has such a small town diner vibe. Secondly the food was actually amazing. I don't love fried food but the batter they use is light and crispy and nothing was greasy at all you could hardly tell it had been in oil. Their mac and cheese is a little unique but super tasty and has a homemade feeling to it. The catfish had SO much meat on it and the pieces where huge. My husband had the burger and really enjoyed it, I did steal one of his onion rings and can confirm it's probably the best onion ring i've had. I also really enjoyed their sweet tea, it's not too syrupy and has a nice tea flavor. I'm looking forward to coming back and bringing other friends and family here to experience their food! ”
“ This is an upscale waffle house. That is not a negative given most people have a love/hate relationship with the place, but Kelly's is the love side of it. The staff are great and work with what they can given the crowds at times. There is a decent amount of seating, but not a ton. There are booths and counter seats. The menu is short sweet and to the point. It's burgers, breakfasts, and sandwiches. The mushroom Swiss burger is delicious. A little bit of gravy and a nice burger. The loaded hashbrowns hit the spot for brunch. Cheese, veggies, chunks of ham; it's soooo good. The service was great and this was perfect for our after hunting brunch. ”
“ Old school, great vibe and awesome food. Took my daughter after working out With the Austin Peay Lacrosse coaches. She was starving. The service was amazing and the food was fresh and amazing. We each had burgers, fried picked and the homemade sauce. OMG. You've got to try the sauce..... amazing recommendation. Will be back. ”
“ We love coming to Kelly's! 24/7 Diner with breakfast anytime. Great food, big portions, excellent service! ”
“ Went for dinner last night. Didn't want to spend a whole lot of money but wanted a good meal. Kelly's definitely delivered. The special was sloppy Joe's last night. They were homemade and tasty. Got mine with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. I couldn't eat it all, but it was a solid meal for the price. This place is always busy. And the food quality shows why. It's not gourmet. It's a divey place. But the comfort food is fantastic. Everybody working there is super sweet and nice. I actually like Kelly's better than their competitor. The vibe to me is a lot more pleasant and the food is better. It helps that they serve good iced tea! This was our fourth visit here and we will definitely be back for more! ”
“ Little diner, think of WaffleHouse as far as cleanliness standards. We enjoyed our food and the prices are reasonable. Nothing to write home about but I would recommend it. ”
