I’m so glad I found this place! I really like having oysters during the colder months and don’t feel like driving to either Alexandria or DC for oysters so I’m glad this establishment was pretty local. The customer service and hospitality was top notch, everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food items and didn’t hesitate to explain to me the different types of oysters and their distinct flavors. I had Bevan, Spinney Creek, and West Point (?) NY oysters and they were all so good! The chef also gave me extra (she put a dozen) when it was supposed to be half dozen. I’m so glad and appreciative of all the staff that was working today in that restaurant. In addition to this, the smash burger and white wine mussel was vey decadent too. I’m coming back on a Sunday one of these days for their $1 oyster special. Can’t wait to introduce this place to my family and friends. Extra thank you to my server tonight, she made my birthday dinner extra special.

The food was delicious. We had two dozen raw oysters and they were very fresh and they offered a wide variety. They also have many different happy hours at different days . Sunday they have 1 dollar oysters. This will be my new oyster go to location. We also had some appetizers and they was very good also. Nice beer selection.

Amazing and fresh oysters! My sister and I sat at the bar and ordered a dozen oysters while we waited for our takeout order. Bartenders Jim and Brian were amazing, friendly, and great service!
From our takeout order, we ordered a bunch of appetizers, our favorite were the fried calamari and clam chowder soup. Definitely will be back.

Came here based on good reviews and their Happy Hour oysters. Stayed for the great service and hometown feel. Who knew that Fairfax could ever exude a Cape Cod vibe. The food was hot and from scratch and the oysters were the freshest I’ve had this far from the coast. If you like smooth music combined with craft cocktails you’ve found your jam. The wine list is surprisingly complex too.
Our bartender Duncan was the bomb!

I went for the raw oysters and clam chowder neither disappointed! The service was excellent, everyone was very friendly and were very nice to my lactose allergic friend and were able to confirm without complaint if certain dishes were lactose free. Also they have happy hour with drink specials, brunch and 2.00 oyster options.

We came here for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We had a wonderful time! There were seven of us and they gave us a quiet space in a back room by the Oyster bar.
Our server was friendly and attentive. The place was clean and decorated like you would expect for a seafood bar. We ordered alcoholic drinks, which were OK. The food though, goodness! Every single thing that we ate was wonderful. There were seven different appetizers ordered and every single one was great, but especially the hush puppies and crab cakes. Every meal was delicious, too, and the limoncello cake was wonderful as well.
I definitely recommend this restaurant and we will return, although only for special events, because it is a bit expensive. Most of the portions were generous, although $9 for a small cup of clam chowder was a little disappointing.

First time here. Many seafood selections in the form of appetizers, sandwiches and entrees. Hushpuppies okay. Clam Chowder very good. Seafood linguini good but squid very chewy… Shrimp were great. Crab cakes very crab filled. Dessert was awesome. Lots of drink specials. Great place for a casual meal with a low key atmosphere. Waitress prompt and friendly.

Honestly great all around, me and 2 friends we feasted on oysters, smoked salmon deviled eggs and I got the seafood linguine (i also got the Limencello cake to go) we all ate everything off our plates!

From start to finish, everything was perfection.
We started with the Buffalo Wings, and let me tell you, they were the BEST wings I’ve ever had! My girlfriend loved the Crab Soup, which was creamy and comforting. The Kelly’s Favorite Chicken was so tender, and the hint of lemon made it absolutely divine. The Smash Burger was juicy and flavorful, and the Bruschetta paired perfectly with the garlicky, buttery Mussels. The Oysters were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor, and our server did an amazing job recommending dishes that truly made our experience special.
The ambiance is cozy and clean, and we loved how they have a packed bar with plenty of TVs to catch football games.
And we can’t forget dessert! The s’mores cake paired with their homemade Raspberry Ice Cream was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal.
Highly recommend Kelly’s for amazing food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Had a pasta dish and crab cakes here, both were very good. Sandwiches served around us looked good. Nice happy hour also, even on weekends. Worth a try
