Ended up with the Green Curry special, it was very delicate and tasty curry dish that’s surprisingly filling! We also ordered the Taco Pot Pie and that was such a delicious surprise, come with your biggest hunger if you get either, they only seem small! They have a solid regular cocktail list that’ll satisfy whatever you’re having- and for a Tequila snob like me they have a couple surprising bottles of quality Tequila! The atmosphere is hard to beat with plentiful seating on their outdoor patio as well, gotta stop in for a quality dinner and drink. The Chef is doing good things here, Cheers!

Overall, if you have to eat here, lower your expectations a lot! Additionally make sure you get Morgan as a server, avoid Marisa at all cost! They claim food is homemade however it’s not exceptional by any means. For an explanation continue reading.
We got a table instantly with about 30 minutes left for brunch. The menu didn’t have many options for people who don’t eat pork, so we decided to wait until lunch started. It took about 45 minutes for them to actually switch over from brunch to lunch, which is kind of crazy because they were supposed to start lunch at 12pm but didn’t get our food until 12:40. I would understand if the food was spectacular but it was alright.
We were greeted by one waitress(Morgan) who brought us waters and menus, and another waitress(Marisa who was supposed to be our actual server) came to take the order. And then we never saw her again, except when the food came out cold.
Our order did not come out as ordered, one had no coleslaw, and the bun was stale. The other order’s fries were cold, floppy and covered with so much salt it could’ve sent me to the hospital. When Marisa asked if we needed anything, we asked for ketchup, hot sauce, and a napkin. She never reappeared with any of those things. Instead, we had to ask the other girl, Morgan, who saved the day! But by the time the food was uneatable. We were also missing the sauces that were supposed to come with our food. This place is a JOKE but this is probably the best this island can offer.
Morgan was essentially our waitress and got us everything we needed. She provided us good service. Marisa was absolutely terrible. We MIGHT have enjoyed the food if it wasn’t for the terrible service we received from Marisa.

Absolutely loved the food here. Your basics with an extra twist. The burger with pickled onions was great. We tried the deviled eggs but a little pricey for one whole deviled egg or 2 halves. Tried the soup with lamb, has some curry flavor to it but was very good. My friend tried the macaroni and it is definitely homemade and worth it. Tried the peppers with crab in it and that was also very good. For being on an island the prices were expected.
I would definitely recommend trying.
The service was also exceptional.

This is the only place on Kelley’s Island to get authentic espresso. They pull a great shot and have my favorite drink, a traditional macchiato! The service is top notch and atmosphere is just as nice. Right on the main strip of division street- you won’t want to go anywhere else for your caffeine needs, unless you want to be disappointed. I highly suggest checking this place out! Stopped back for dinner and food was great as well.

This is the best place you will eat on the island! Take my word for it!
The service was above and beyond. Every server and bartender was so friendly! They even brought treats out for our dogs.
The food was the best quality and best tasting food we had all weekend. It was absolutely amazing. And to top it off they had a great, large selection of draft beers! We’ll be eating here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day when we come back to Kelly’s Island!
Check out their coffee shop too! The nitro coffee was delicious.

Food and service were excellent! Great outdoor dining and patio, got the strawberry lemonade which used their homemade strawberry vodka and was pleasantly not sweet. Also got the French 75 which was excellent. Chicken sandwich was huge and my boyfriend got the special of the day which only 4 were being made for the night – $35 for an incredible steak with shrimp!

I have to say they make the BEST Cinnamon lattes!! And the staff are pretty awesome! We stumbled upon this place while camping over Easter weekend. I’m so thankful that they were open! Nothing beats the cold better than some hot coffee (ok maybe some adult beverages as well). They have a very large outdoor seating area that I am sure is awesome during the summer months, plenty of space to move around. There is a great outdoor bar area by the patio, they had a TV going out there (weather wasn’t quite warm enough to enjoy). As soon as we entered we were greeted with a friendly hello and what can I get for you. I didn’t catch his name but he was great! We also had breakfast on the morning before we left the island. I had the egg, kale and bacon sandwich. It was AWESOME, a little messy but totally worth it. The inside is so charming, great bar set up, booths for larger groups and a huge projector TV. We watched a bike race while there, the guy working was super knowledgeable about it and filled us in on the who is who and what nots. I really enjoyed it. Thank you guys so much!! Can’t wait to visit again soon.

The encounter with the staff was unpleasant, although seating us was fine. The restaurant seemed not busy but service was very slow. After ordering on the kinda sparse menu we waited in the sun for about 30 minutes or more and never got more water or refills so all the drinks were warm. After the food came out for most of us, for 2 people the food did not come out, we told the waiter and he said the kitchen was working on it.. after 5 minutes when we asked again he said the kitchen counted the entrees wrong and they had to remake more. My food (the salad with chicken, pictured) did taste very good besides the lettuce being warm when served. The waiter didn’t come back for a while after that so we had to ask a separate staff if they could grab him so we could checkout and leave after being there for 1.5 hours due to slow service. Do not recommend.

I have been coming to the Island house since I was a kid. It’s now a completely different experience, and while I miss the old Island House, the new one has its own charm.
We came for Sunday Brunch. Everyone loved their food. Most of our crew had the waffle with fruit and yogurt. Admittedly, there was a teeny condiment sized cup of yogurt, they said everything was good. I had the quiche of the week-bacon and spinach. It came with a generous greens salad as well. It was all delicious. The fresh made orange juice was worth every penny of the $5 for the glass. It was the best orange juice I think I’ve ever had.
All was great. Our server Kiley was sweet and efficient as well. 🙂
