| - 3.5 stars ... Food wise, it's a 2 but since I came here with a stupidly big group, the service & kitchen exceeded my speed expectations so thats a 4.
It's hard to rate mainstream corporate restaurants as most are purposely not inventive and the quality is just average. Kelsey's price point is very reasonable but in terms of quality food. It is barely any better than your McDonalds. It just happens to have a bigger menu... that's all. I ordered a beet & goat cheese salad and it was just wilted... drippy & oversauced ... and really uninspiring. Fries were hot but not crispy or salted. It was a moment of 'I eat to live'.
As for the atmosphere and service, I have to give credit to the staff here. For a group of 30+ people, we ate in a really reasonable time.... if anything, all of us were expecting to be served nearly an hour later. So the kitchen must have busted their butts getting everything done. Mind you, none of the food was complicated (burgers, grilled chicken caesar, chicken fingers, poutine, looks like a McCain style pizza...). The place was really clean and spacious. The staff had all the bill splits done correctly and well organized. I couldnt ask more from the staff.
Now, if only they could do fries right...
