We read good reviews of this restaurant on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We ate outside in the courtyard, which is a very pleasant dining experience. We didn't want a big meal, and the menu had good options. I had a Mahi Mahi sandwich which was really tasty, with a crab soup to start. The staff was... More

We ate luch here last year & dinner this year. Small place w/an even smaller kitchen. More outdoor eating space. For lunch, very good sandwiches & salads, try the fried tomato sandwich. For dinner, we both had the tortilla chip crusted mahi with beans & rice & mango sals. Had something like this similar, but this was very good. Good... More

Went to Kelley's on Friday night of the shrimp festival because it was recommended on Trip Advisor. My friend and I were not disappointed - we had flounder and snapper, which were both exceptional. On Saturday, some friends joined us for the festival and we headed to Lulu's for dinner that night. After being informed by a man walking out... More

Taking a mini vacation between business meetings my husband joined me in Amelia Island. We weren't aware it was the Shrimp Festival. It was hard to get a reservation so finally we found Kelly's who had an opening. It was raining so we sat inside which is small and not fancy but homey. The service was great and Taylor and... More

You can eat inside or out. Nothing pretentious. I had the shrimp po'boy, served with black beans and rice, dollop of sour cream. Companion had the fried oysters and stated 'best even eaten', plus the she-crab soup. Every other dish I saw going by to other diners looked very appealing. Very friendly and efficient waiter.

On a recent trip, we were lucky to have Kelleys recommended to us and especially since it was less than a block from our motel. The friendly staff only added to the exciting menu and the proof was in the tasty delights which we were served. The beautiful courtyard atmosphere was just the lure we needed for us to return...
