Disappointment was all we received. The wife and I were in the mood for burgers, so after stopping by three places that were closed we decided to give Kelly's a try.
Walked in and the sign said to seat ourselves so we did. Sat not too far from the door to the kitchen and was seen by several people going in and out of the kitchen. Not a single one came over to take our order or to even acknowledge that we were there. Not even a be right with ya. I understand there may be staffing issues, but there were a bunch of people there working. They just ignored us. So we finally left

First time to Kelly's Craft Tavern. What a great place to meet with family and/or friends. The food was excellent and the service was very good. The restaurant has a nice cozy atmosphere but you still feel like there is plenty of space around you. They also have a great patio area to get outside and enjoy drinks or conversation. I went with a large group for an engagement party and they were able to accommodate all of us. We will definitely be back!

Food is very good and nice portions. Menu needs updated with current prices. Not everything on the menu is available and service a little slower, though friendly and helpful. Of course, supply, price, and staff issues prob all due to COVID. Nice covered outdoor area with giant Connect 4 game, string lights and fans. Pretty decent lunch and daily specials and reasonable drink prices. Try the Uncle B.O.B. It's one of the best cocktails I've ever had. And the Bacon Poblano Waffle Cheese Fries are a fave!
