Had ice cream with cheesecake. The cinnamon berry syrup wasn't the best, too much cinnamon for my liking but the dessert was great! Service was good as well. We went in 15 minutes before they closed just for takeout of dessert and they served us happily. The new makeover was great as well!
Came a second time and ordered a lot of apps. Amazing fried pickles!!! Mac and cheese bites were good. Cauliflower wings are probably one of my favorites. Nachos weren't the best because the cheese wasn't stringy at all. -

After shopping up a storm at various stores in the vicinity, I looked up and saw a Kelseys. I decided to drive over there on a hot summer day.
There were folks on the patio. I wanted air conditioning. I walked in and was promptly seated at a table by the window, looking at the patio. It's nice to feel like I'm out on the patio, but I'm not.
My server decided to greet me two tables away. That's just downright odd. He wasn't even staring at me when he did that. He didn't really talk at a normal voice throughout my stay. I suppose that since there were many older folks at this restaurant, he had to raise his voice to be heard. Frankly, I could have heard him across the restaurant with the music blasting. It was a huge turnoff, even though I'm sure Peter is a lovely person when he isn't serving folks in their sixties and older.
Anyway, I ordered a Diet Pepsi and got it with a lime wedge. I was so thirsty that I eventually got a refill and downed most of it.
I ordered my usual, which was New York-style wings with sea salt and black pepper. It comes with veggie sticks and ranch dip.
My wings were good, except that it felt like someone went crazy with the black pepper shaker. Hey, I could have dipped my wings in a container of black pepper, too. The veggies were a nice contrast and were crisp.
For dessert, I gave the chocolate berry cake with vanilla ice cream. By the time this dessert was given to me, the vanilla ice cream has slid to the plate's edge. The cake was okay. I wouldn't get it again, though. I'd sooner have the ice cream!
This Kelseys is simply average. I have had better at other locations.
I was pleased to get my SCENE card swiped. I collected 15x the points. There's the silver lining visiting this Kelseys.

I went to Kelsey's for the first time in years, and I was greatly impressed with the service, food and the alcoholic bevys. I wish I could share the experience in the future with other friends who won't have barely 2 options to choose from. What is up with the lack of vegetarian options? I am always mindful when comes to them when choosing a place for all my friends to grab dinner but now it looks like I won't be choosing Kelsey's in that case.

I've had better cafeteria food. Dingy, cheap and generally just extremely basic. Kelsey's is neither particularly enjoyable nor memorable (at least not for positive reasons). Good for drinks with co-workers but avoid the food.

Stopped in for a few appetizers before our movie. We ordered the garlic cheese bread.... we barely had a slice each! Cheese was piled on thick over an under cooked, extremely thick bread. Not what you'd expect when you're looking forward to the normal crispy garlic bread you're used to everywhere else. Definitely not pleased. Would not recommend.
