Reviews for Kelsey's Restaurant, Irish Pub & Banquet Room in Ellicott City, MD

The food has the basics well covered. The Irish specific food (shepherds pie, chicken pot pie) can be hit or miss ( the chicken... pot pie is great, shepherds pie, not so much). The menu sticks to being good but not great. People working here (especially thebartenders) are all extremely friendly and nice to talk to. They go out of their way to strike up a conversation, and if there'ssomething they can do for you that's above and beyond, they generally will. Live music on Fridays and weekends is always fun.The bands/musicians range from ok to good, but never really bad. Overall, it's an awesome place to go for the atmosphere andstaff. Read more

I went by myself on a Friday night. Sat at the bar and had a nice dinner. Staff was awesome, never got their names but my glass... was never empty and jokes were always funny. They took good care of me even when I had to send my food back. It was reallydelicious and the live music was fun. I'd only been in previously for a quick drink or fast meeting. I'll definitely bereturning for some delicious food. Read more

Bridal Shower for my future daughter in law at Kelsey’s Restaurant was wonderful. The menu was fantastic and the private room... had a nice flow to enjoy yourself. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Read more

A quaint local pub with a great atmosphere! Tables were clean, service was fast and polite, and most importantly the food was on... point! My date and I got oysters, the meatloaf, and the reuben. Live music was awesome too! Highly recommended! Read more

My wife and I have been here a number of times. This past week we got the nachos. They were great. Everything was fresh and... tasty! Definitely getting these again. The salads are great as are the fish and chips. Good beer selection too. Read more

Food and drinks are always really good! Ellen and Brenden have been my bartenders a few times are they so friendly and kind. My... husband is from England and thinks the food is very authentic. This is our favorite Irish pub in the United States so far :) Read more

Great service. Clean facilities. Reasonable beer selections. My only wish would be for them to offer more vegetarian options.... Unfortunately even the marinara sauce for the mozzarella sticks has "bacon fat drippings" in it. The salad I had was excellent,but would have loved to have more options available to me. Read more

I just had a baby shower at Kelsey's in their party room. I can not give enough praise to the staff and restaurant. The food... was exceptional and the entire staff that assisted us before, during and after the shower were top notch. I highly recommendusing Kelsey's for your next party. There is not one negative thing to say. It was a 5 star rating from start to finish. Read more
