| - Kelly O's is a Strip District spot that has been on my short list of places to try for quite some time. It's located just a stones throw from the hustling center of the Strip and does have a few free parking spots (arrive early to take advantage). For those not fortunate enough to snag a space there is a $5 flat rate lot right next door.
When you enter there is a sign directing you to wait to be seated. You can wait, or try your luck at the counter. You don't need to check in with a host/hostess, just keep your place in line and wait. The waiting area is small, so be prepared to wait outside.
The menu is traditional diner fare with a few popular items that stand out. The featured dishes on Triple D are haluski, turkey pot pie soup and mush with bacon. I can't vouch for these choices, but hope to be able to after a return trip.
I had the Mancini's French toast (local bread company - amazing), shredded potatoes with onions and peppers and a side of bacon. I also had fresh squeezed orange juice. The French toast was tops, the potatoes were nothing special (no real flavor and the onions and peppers weren't cooked with them very long, just tasted like they were thrown in at the last minute). The bacon was good and the OJ was magical, I just wish it came in a bigger glass and didn't cost over $3.00.
My husband had an omelette and the shredded potatoes, he didn't have any complaints.
As far as a breakfast place in the Strip goes, I prefer Pamela's and DeLuca's over Kelly O's. No signature choices really stood out to me. However, I'm looking forward to returning for some Haluski and turkey pot pie soup and hoping to add another star or two to my review.
