Skip This One

by kempsres at Citysearch

Kelly's Kempsville - giving it a second chance was a bad idea. Very smokey inside. Ordered potato skins, and that is mostly what I got; cooked-to-death potato slices (small slices), with chili, beans and a side of sour cream...yum! Also Ordered "the warmer" which is tomato soup and grilled cheese. What I received was cold pasta sauce and a cold cheese non-melted cheese sandwich. This was sent back and re-made, the soup was excellent, the sandwich, not so much. The McDonald's next door was looking good!

  • Pros: The server was great, the manager was cordial
  • Cons: the cooks can't

Delicious burgers and the appetizers are great also

by jpangarita at Citysearch

The service and the place are great. The tuna bites are the best that I have ever tried. The hamburger is really good but is nothing out of this world. There are only two things that I didn't like about this place: there were a lot a flies around and the french fries were almost all burned.

  • Pros: Good service
  • Cons: A lot of flies around

Big burger, with many varities, including burger of month. Toppings are on side. Sides included are fries, and a couple of salads, But i got the beer-battered onion rings for a little extra.

  • Pros: good onion rings
  • Cons: table shook

A favorite Friday spot

by georgeg at Citysearch

Small, intimate eatery with excellent food. Try the crab dip, it's awesome. Burgers are the best I've had anywhere, 1/2 lb and cooked to order. Sidewalk tables are great to watch the world go by while enjoying great service.

  • Pros: staff, intimate
  • Cons: on street parking, can be crowded
