⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kelly O’Bryan’s is one of our favorite places to eat. The food is consistently great and Sunday meals there honestly feel like a home-cooked family dinner. Comfort food done right.
The wait staff is fantastic and treats us like family every time we come in. The atmosphere is welcoming, relaxed, and perfect for settling in for a meal or catching a game. There are plenty of TVs, so it’s a great spot to watch sports without feeling crowded or chaotic.
The food and drinks are always on point, and the overall experience keeps us coming back. Highly recommend.

Went for dinner yesterday. The services great the food tasted all-right. However multiple people in our party had sore throats or swollen tonsils that evening after eating here. Not sure if it was like the fries or the grill where the meat was cooked but we all felt like quite sick.
Even a day later I'm still having a sore throat and inflammation in the tonsils and the lymph nodes. Maybe maybe it's just not clean oil that they're frying things but other than that it was great but yeah it's been it's been kind of unexpectedly bad.
Had some indigestion after as well. Huge amounts of acid reflux and nausea. We had burgers, fries, the Yorkie pudding appetizer.

Maisie Lynn Grace is, without question, the best bartender and server we have ever had in our lives. From the moment we sat down, she made the entire experience unforgettable. Her service was fast, friendly, and effortless, and she somehow managed to make everyone feel like a regular.
If Maisie is working, you are guaranteed an amazing experience. She is an absolute asset to the bar and easily the greatest bartender and server we’ve ever had. We’ll be coming back just for her.

Do not get the Patchos. They were tasteless, dry styrofoam in my mouth. Loved the Emerald Island sauce. Quesadilla was small for the price, but ok. Our server was fantastic, and it seems like a good space for pool and a beer. First impression though, can't say I would go back for the food.

I really enjoyed our visit. Clean, friendly... Not the cheapest place, but far from expensive. I adored the tuna tacos, but found the prime rib burger a little overwhelming - not in a bad way, just a lot going on.
I liked it... And I especially liked hearing about their charitable activities. Great donation commitments!
