Pub....in the old days that stood for Public House. Weary travelers in the United Kingdom could stop at various houses along their route and enjoy some drinks and a meal. The good public houses became businesses and a lot of these pubs are still around, even after a few hundred years!
As romantic as it might sound to pull up on horseback or in a horse and buggy, I'm liking just parking the car and strolling in. You COULD fly in, as well, for the local airport runway is easily visible across the street!
This pub's grub is what I love! And being accompanied by my lovely lass Fab One makes a Kelly's craving even more fun.
Everything we've tried has been absolutely delicious!
They have some amazing and GENUINE Pub FOOD!
For example: The Shepherd's Pie is a TRUE Shepherd's Pie!
Kelly's Shepherd's Pie is made with Lamb. THIS is the real deal.
What other's 'claim' as Shepherd's Pie, when they make it with beef instead of lamb, that's actually what's called Cottage Pie.
Nothing wrong with a good Cottage Pie, but it ain't lamb and it ain't Shepherd's Pie! Try this dish and you WILL see!
EVERY time I eat this authentic Shepherd's Pie I fall in love all over again.
Fab One usually orders some Oysters. She loves eating them and I just love watching her slurp 'em up!
Kelly's has a huge variety of ways to serve Oysters.
From raw Gulf Oysters to cooked like Rockefeller, Chargrilled or Buffalo to specialty such as caviar, mignonette or ponzu. Whatever ponzu is, LOL!
Don't forget to ask for your complimentary pickles....you'll get a little bowl of some sweet and garlicky good cucumber cousins! WE love these.
Now, let me mention one thing. And, I have noted a few other reviewers talking about this, too. The service could be a tad better. At times, we've felt a bit invisible. Waiting once seated, or for taking our orders or for additional help. I don't mind terribly, as I feel this is how a pub atmosphere could be on occasion.
The staff is quite friendly and helpful when they are taking care of you. Maybe just a little tweaking needed?
Overall, Kelly's can proudly claim fame to being a fantastic pub with really great food in a nice location.
Tell them John & Beth sent ya, they'll give you some free pickles!
