Kelsey’s Restaurant

Bad, bad food, even worse service and very dirty facility, do not waste your money

Every time I go to Kelsey’s, they seem to have a new menu, and the latest (May 2013) reincarnation slimmed the menu offerings quite a bit.
Kelsey’s menu does offer a little bit of everything — salads, steaks, chicken, pasta, fajitas — which sounds great in theory, but in reality means they have no focus, no theme, no specialities. The food tastes average, and there is nothing memorable about the dishes or the preparation.
The punctuality of the service is the single most troublesome thing about this restaurant. Friendliness can only go so far, and only seeing your server every 20 minutes is unacceptable. Every time I’ve eaten at this Kelsey’s, whether we were in the restaurant or the bar, the service has been incredibly slow.
So you’re probably wondering why I’m giving three stars, eh? I’m giving three stars because of their fairly-​priced lunch menus. My husband and I will deal with the apathetic service simply because we can get large lunches + pop /​non-​alcoholic beverages for under $ 25.
Recommended: The frozen strawberry margarita. Yum.
Not recommended in a million years: the chicken quesadilla, if it’s still on the menu. Always cold, always seasoned differently, and occasionally served less-​than-​cooked. Just … no.

Milestones envy? Located right next door to Milestones, I can’t find any other reason for Kelsey’s generic bar food to have pricing so close to the upscale Milestones. Mains running from $ 10 to $ 20 is not what I expect from a midline restaurant.
The food was fine, but the price reflects something better. Walk another 30 steps for much more interesting fare at the same price.

Not impressed with the quality of the food. We had ordered the sizzling fajitas, grilled salmon and a kids meal. Not appetizing, didn’t seem fresh and tasted all right; a bit disappointed. The ambiance is just about all right, service was friendly, bu don’t think will visit again.

Arrived at the movies too early (a little too excited for the new resident evil movie), so decided to grab some food. We were seated in the bar section which was great for Sunday night football. The bartender was our waiter and he was super laid-​back and friendly. I ordered the Asian Sesame SHRIMP salad. You can have shrimp or chicken. When the food came, they had given me chicken on my salad instead of shrimp. I’m vegetarian so I had my friend ask to send it back (which was painful, I hate being whiny about my food). The shrimp arrived on my salad and everything was right in the universe. Unfortunately, I’ve had this (delicious) salad at another Kelsey’s location and this one did not compare. The portion was smaller, the ingredients were not as fresh and it was not as visually appealing. Good salad better at other locations.

While the service was fine I cannot say the same for the food. As a fan of BBQ I’ve made pull pork myself, sampled it from many other restaurants and from the various vendors at those great Rib Fests events. In all those experiences never have I had a pulled pork sandwich so devoid of spice, taste and much to my chagrin pork!
The amazing thing is that such a bland meat deficient entrée could generate such intense heartburn.
I will not make a repeat trip to this establishment, certainly not when Milestones is 50 ft away.
