    Have been eating here with my family since I was a kid and always had fond memories. Then this week I went with my family for the first time in a few years and wanted to order my favourite item on their menu: the chicken fajitas. What I received was not the chicken fajitas I remember... The quality has gone down substantially and it was not good food. I will not be ordering it again

    Had a really good experience at Kelsey’s! Our server Gursher was super great server and made sure everything was good the whole time. Service was quick, drinks stayed full, and the overall vibe was great. Definitely made the meal better — would happily come back again!

    I had a great time at Kelsey’s Original Roadhouse with friends. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, which made it a really nice place to hang out. I ordered a burger and the food quality was definitely the highlight — super tasty and well made. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and I’d happily come back again.

    My son's chicken strips and fries were the only good thing we were severed. I had the shrimp fajitas. The shrimp were surprisingly well cooked but everything else was varying levels of extremely overcooked and mooshy (rice), or old and dry (letus and tomatoes). My husband had the shrimp and ribs which were also just fine.

    Food and service was good, we didn't have too much of a wait time. I got the chicken Parm which was pretty good and also got some calamari too. Will probably go back for their wing night at some point.
