Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Recommend to us by our hotel owner so let’s try.
Warm welcome and advised live music would be playing so we Decided to sit outside.
Very polite and friendly staff, and great choice of food and drinks.
We decided on local beer with Chicken Schnitzel, calamari and Parma chicken.. That’s the chicken with bacon and cheese on!
Food came out pretty quick and was fresh and tasty... we all finished our dishes....
Around $40 each not too bad with tip for a lovely evening.
I recommend and would use again.

Fantastic service, the meals were just like traditional home cooked, nothing too fancy but delicious. They also let mum and I share a plate of pasta and even seperate dishes for us. Recommend a visit.

We came here with friends for lunch
Two had the tuna mornay pie and to be honest it was only just - looked like tuna pasta in a . Pastry - didn’t really taste great . I had a steak and it was cooked to perfection - I loved it !
We were there with the guy playing guitar and singing and he was fabulous !

The aesthetic of the pub was cozy and warm and vintage but in the best way, the service was good with kind service and knowledgeable, and the food was absolutely amazing, all 4 meals were finished from the whole table and not a single issue at all.
I’m from the west side on Melbourne and it’s about a 2 and a bit hour drive but absolutely will and can’t wait to go back there again. Well done Kelly’s bar and kitchen

We had a steak, schnitzel, chili popcorn chicken and cob bread. Everything was delicious and hot. They have indoor and outdoor seating, heaters for their outdoor tables, and a smoking area on two sides of the restaurant (one you can sit with a drink and one where no drinks are allowed). The service was friendly and quick and we had no trouble being seated even though it was busy. We even enjoyed the music they chose. If we lived here, we would be regulars!

Good quality food and sizeable portions. Called in with my daughter as the menu looked straightforward anÂŁ reasonably priced. We had a steak and a chicken schnitzel and I ordered a side of veggies. Wow was that impressive almost a meal in itself. Try the local pale ale too that was right up there. Really friendly folks too. Pay them a visit.

My wife and I had dinner here recently during our holiday in Mount Dandenong where we stayed in a holiday cottage nearby.
My wife had fish and chips while I had a Scotch fillet steak and a beer.
The food was good. Service was okay. Prices were reasonable.

Have visited this restaurant for dinner and lunch at both busy and quiet times. Fantastic friendly service each time. The menu is not big but what they do offer is very good. Great atmosphere too. It has a rustic pub feel with the log post and beam building and stone fireplace.

The locals fill this place up. We arrived at 5.30pm as the change over from after work beers gave way to dinner. Great, hearty meals for a cold night and a wide selection of drinks to go with it. Nice warm welcome goes with the wood fire and great service follows.

Went to Kellys with friends for a Friday night dinner. The atmosphere is fabulous as it has the feel of stepping back in time, a cozy pub vibe, The service was really friendly, and the food was really good too. Lucky to have this place in our neighborhood. Will be back again soon, for sure!

Great ambience and atmosphere. Had a curry chicken korma pie (cooked from scratch based on the texture and quality of pasty) and whiting fish and chips as mains. Seated by the chimney that works and warms up the place nicely. Portion served is great and pricing is reasonable. Food quality is fresh and using local ingredients. Cooked vegetables were done nicely not leaving any fibres in between teeth, serving temperature were nicely done. Staff were friendly and respectful. Very clean environment. Felt like back in the English tavern back in the 40s. Had a great time chatting with friends and not being hurried out like miss marples and pie in the skies staff does. A hidden gem spot for dinning in vicinity of Olinda. Definitely not a tourist trap. Will be back and definitely bringing my peers and overseas mates to dine here. Parking is good for atleast 20 cars next to the premise.

We booked for a Friday night and it was lucky we did as this place was very popular. The food was really good and having live music in the corner really added to the ambience. Service was good and the staff very friendly.
