Kelley’s Kafe — Restaurant in Washington

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kelley's Kafe, and I must say it was a unique and enjoyable experience that left a lasting impression. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that exuded patriotism.

One aspect that stood out to me was the evident love for Trump displayed throughout the establishment. For those who appreciate this political figure, it adds a distinctive touch to the ambiance. The decor, adorned with patriotic colors and themed memorabilia, creates an environment that resonates with a sense of national pride.

The diner feel, complete with old car pictures adorning the walls, added a nostalgic touch that enhanced the overall dining experience. It felt like a step back in time, creating a cozy and comfortable setting for a meal.

As for the culinary experience, I opted for the French Toast Puffs, and they were nothing short of amazing. The dish was a delightful blend of flavors and textures, leaving my taste buds satisfied. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, and it's clear that the kitchen takes pride in delivering a delicious and memorable meal.

What pleasantly surprised me was the affordability of the menu. The reasonable prices make Kelly's Kitchen an excellent choice for those looking for a tasty meal without breaking the bank. It's a great value for the quality of food and the overall dining experience.

After such a positive visit, I can confidently say that I will be returning to Kelley's Kafe. The combination of patriotic decor, a classic diner ambiance, delicious French Toast Puffs, and wallet-friendly prices make it a standout choice for those seeking a unique dining experience. I highly recommend giving it a try and indulging in the charm that Kelley's Kafe...

I was genuinely looking forward to trying this establishment and supporting a small business—something I value and make a point to do, especially in local communities. However, upon arriving, I was immediately taken aback by the overwhelming display of political flags, specifically those supporting President Trump, which were prominently placed throughout the diner.

While I fully respect each individual’s right to their political beliefs and their freedom to express them, there is a distinction between personal expression and creating a public business environment that feels politically charged or exclusionary. A restaurant, café, or diner should ideally foster a welcoming and neutral space where all patrons—regardless of their political views—can feel comfortable and respected.

The prominent and deliberate display of partisan messaging made it clear that the business is intentionally aligning with a specific political ideology. This created an atmosphere that felt less like a community gathering place and more like a statement-driven space, which left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. It’s unfortunate, because the original intent was to support a local business, but we ultimately did not feel it was a place where all customers would be equally valued.

Sometimes in our travels we find a place we wish we could go to over and over again. Kelley's is one of those places! Service, food, prices and vibe were all over the top amazing! Please don't let the outside fool you, the inside is where all the magic is!

From the very beginning it was obvious they are true and authentic! The lone server was busy with other customers so we were greeted by the cook! He was so friendly and inviting, told us to grab a seat and they'd bring us waters, menus were at the table. Giant menus!! Our server came in and was just as friendly and inviting as the cook! We felt at home right away, like we'd been there 100 times!

Food was fantastic! I had the seafood platter and it was piled high with vein clogging goodness! The shrimp was the best part, these cute little crunchy, puffy morsels of heaven!! Hubby's chicken fried steak was humongous and he said it was the best he's ever had! We got strawberry shortcake to go and it was perfect later, sitting around the camp fire!

I highly recommend Kelley's and know for a fact we'll be back! Hard to find a diner like...
