Great place to eat down home to cooking staff us excellent all the way down to the table buster
My wife and I had lunch here for the first time on Thursday, 11/14/2024. The food was plain, old, good country food cooked the down-home country way. I had fried Chicken Breast with Creamed Corn and mashed Potatoes with gravy.My dessert, Banana Pudding, was to die for! My wife had baked Chicken Breast, Green Beans, and Mashed Potatoes with Gravy. Her Strawberry Shortcake dessert was also delicious—at least, that's what she said. We were both delighted to eat at Kelly's and will return soon.
This place is great! Found it while my truck was getting worked on! Food is great, portions were awesome, customer service top notch! We are from Minnesota and after a week in Georgia we found the best food on our way home!
Super good country cooking. The sweet tea is definitely sweet tea. I love that they have the option to add squeezed lemon juice in the tea also. The food here is always so fresh and good. They always have a good crowd here. If there is a line, it usually moves very quickly. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. Very clean establishment. I absolutely love their fried squash side. The desserts are always so delicious, too. I haven't come here and had a bad experience yet. Highly recommend. Especially if you are looking for a good, nice home cooked style meal. Can't get any better than this.
