- Traci ParsonsOctober 28, 2014Delish, quaint, place. She crab soup was the best I've ever had! Slider burgers great too! Hubby had fish tacos - good. And we got the free pickles for mentioning Foursquare app. I recommend!
Try the steamed clams. The Eastern Shore is the Clam Capitol of the East Coast. E.S. also has a big sweet potato farm in Machopungo so I agree on the sweet potato fries which tasted great.
Christina BerryOctober 10, 2020The onion rings were very good! I had the crab cake sandwich that was full of crab, very little filler. While the sandwich was good, the sauce it came with was NOT! I opted for a squeeze of lemon.
Incredible live music, a rock solid beer selection and food that you'd never expect to find in a "pub" combine to make Kelly's the watering hole if choice in Cape Charles.
Marion LawtonJune 13, 2015Stopped here on the way back from the beach. Ice cold beer and nachos hit the spot. Sat outside and watched the people walk by.
NAZFisherAugust 22, 2012We were an 11 top and the the menu batted 1000! Service was great, food was better, and our English server was fantastic! A must try if you are in the area!
Charles FisherAugust 23, 2012Try the She Crab Soup. Best I've ever had, and being from Baltimore, I've tried a lot of crab soups. Server Nicholas is really cool & a lot of fun.
David WinterMay 14, 2012Fantastic music and awesome food! Perfect for when you underestimated the distance between norfolk and va beach ;)
Mike BarkerSeptember 14, 2014The best she crab soup ever. An incredible amount too. Great atmosphere.
Pam DrewMay 26, 2013Calamari are amazing. Chipotle aioli is an unexpected twist on the classic marinara sauce.

- free wifi, cold beer, great food... what more could you ask from a groovy small town bar in an old bank building?
Rhonda Leigh NorsbySeptember 29, 2013If you check in and get the free appetizer special ad, don't expect them to honor it. :(

Allison 🐥 BellAugust 16, 2011Try their homemade honey mustard. It's addictive! Wish I had the recipe.
Mrs. VinnyAugust 15, 2012She crab soup lives up to every bit of its reputation! Already planning round two.
