Pros:
Friendly service
Plenty of seating space
Cons:
Food is very meh at best
Let's get this out of the way first. I rarely eat at places like Kelsey's, Jack Astors, Casey's, etc. The only reason we were here was I had a gift card I received from work. I'm not a big fan of chains honestly to begin with.
This Kelsey's location is pretty spacious. It's the perfect place for a family after seeing a movie at the Cineplex next door. Walking in, we're immediately greeted by a friendly hostess. When you come to a place like this, expect friendly service with a smile. It's in the manual of all these types of places. As long as you're not being a jerk, you'll have a pleasant experience service wise.
We ordered the fish and chips, chicken apple pecan salad, and a kids meal for our little one which was a pasta dish. Food doesn't take too long to come out but it wasn't terribly busy when we were there.
Fish and chips: I wasn't too impressed with this one. The batter on the fish was way too crunchy/hard and the fish itself was very mushy. My work place cafeteria is not the best by far, but even they made a better fish and chips. The fries were OK, but could not save the dish.
chicken apple pecan salad: This one according to my GF was much better. There's a lot of variety in the salad which works for and against it. You get a bunch of different tastes, but not enough of the actual greens because they have so much items to put in. The breaded chicken pieces were pretty good though.
Kid meal: The fact that my little one took 2-3 bites of the pasta and didn't want anymore said it all. She usually loves pasta. I took a bite myself and knew why. Pasta was way overdone, and barely any sauce. No taste at all. The salad that came with pasta was good.
I want to like this place better because of the great service. Our meal just wasn't up to par unfortuantely.
