"All I can say is save your money. This is not the same Kelly's we all used to know. The service was terrible (as to be expected when you don't pay your employees and are closing at the end of the month) and food was not even close to comparable to what I can cook at home myself. Several groups around us simply got up and left. A table of (2) were sat about twenty minutes after us and they were done with their food and paying the bill before we recieved our food. It's too bad it has come to this for a once classic staple of Naples. If you insist on going one last time, just keep it to drinks and apps....only thing that's still ok there."

"Because it is near closing Kelly's seemed to be running out of food and containers. I liked Mark, our server, but the food was not up to past Kelly's visits."

"We have been going to Kelly's for years. The service needs improvement. We waited a long time before anyone approached our table. The waiter was very pleasant, but asked for our order before we even got menus to look at. We asked for a bread basket and it never arrived.
The food is still good, but the restaurant suffers from poor management."

"Kelly's reminded me of the steak houses that appear in 60's movies. Dark with corner booths and excellent food. We enjoyed the wide selection of food, appetizers, salad, main meal, and desert.. Cooked to order and very tasty. We will return again!"

"If this had been the first time I was here, I would not be returning. There was a number of staff absent so service was slow. They ran out of 4 things we wanted, both food and wine. I know this wasn't typical, so I will be trying the restaurant again. The bar and ambience are wonderful--almost made us overlook the service and lack of food."

"Kelly's has been in Long Beach forever. Go for meat and martinis. Unfortunately, they had sold out of the prime rib this time. Disappointing, but the steak was delicious."

"Kids and I took their Mom to Mother's Day Brunch. The menu looked creative and I thought we could all find something. My son and I tried Kelly's Benedict, sounded great jalapeno cornbread, ended up blah! ok to eat, but not flavorful. Mom had seafood omelet, so-so. My daughter had French toast and as she put it: ahh.
I would pass on breakfast/brunch. A lot better places for breakfast."

"My best friend visited on Saturday so we decided to treat ourselves to a Mother's Day dinner at Kelly's! We were seated in the booth directly in front of the piano, an additional treat. I have always loved the classic, old-school steak house feel of the restaurant. The food was wonderfully delicious. From the pate, to our soup & salad, my perfectly prepared steak, her lamb, the potatoes, vegetables, wine, music, etc. It was all perfect. We had such a fabulous time, we decided to make it our annual tradition! Fortunately, I live in the area, so I won't have to wait a year to return!"

"Overall I enjoyed the evening at Kelly's Restaurant.
The downside to the evening was that they were out of 3 of the 5 appetizers at 8:00 on a Saturday night and service was rather slow.
One of the steaks was not cooked as ordered but was replaced with apologises and a complimentry cocktail.
I plan to return."

"We have long been a fan of Kelly's and have gone there often but these past few times were much less than stellar. The time before last was for NYE's and we went with two other couples. The food was not good but we chalked that up to being the holiday. But this weekend the food was equally as unimpressive. The expensive New York steak was low quality and tasted pre chewed. The wedge salad had so little dressing on it, we had to ask for more. The crackers in the basket were minimal and they no longer serve the good ones. The twice baked potato was not impressive and actually was not even offered to us by the waiter - we had to ask about it. And $20 bucks for a corkage fee seems like a lot. So long Kelly's until we hear about changes."

"This normally is a wonderful place. I have been going to this place for many years and try to go when I'm in Southern Calif. The ambiance is normally fantastic for conversation and entertaining. The service is normally fantastic and the food, although pricey, is first class. With that said, my experience on this last visit was not what I described above unfortunately. The staff seemed overwhelmed and our server seemed rushed during our visit. The filet mignon was not up to par (which it needs to be when someone is paying $44 per steak). What really bothered me the most however, was the loud live music that was going on inside this very quaint and small restaurant. My guests and I could barely hear each other's conversation."

"The night of the reservation, the kitchen and wait staff walked out because they had not been paid in weeks. We sat at the bar and ordered a pizza from Valentino's Pizza down the street. This place will be bankrupt or closed within a month."

"The food was really good. We had the salmon with tomatoes and it was exceptional. Too much garlic on the vegetables however. The servers kept tryng to remove plates from the table before everyone was done eating! I hate being hurried along particularily when there are open tables! Our 8 year old neice was kept busy with an ipad and the wonderful macaroni and cheese!"

"Great restaurant. Although the food is a little pricey. Wasn't as crowded as I would have thought. Drive by nightly and parking lot always looks packed. Great live entertainment in bar area. Reminded me of an east coast steam house. Staff was very professional and attentive. Would certainly return."

"This restaurant USE to be outstanding. We went there based on last memories. What a decline. Food is still amazing but you can tell the difference and corners cut. Crackers instead of bread. Three little pieces of veggies on the plate that looks frozen instead of fresh. Two dessert choices instead of a selection. Three tables filled at prime 7pm dinner instead of more. What happened?? Rumor is that owner doesn't care about this restaurant anymore since he is opening in Las Vegas. Please start to care about both! Long Beach people go to Vegas too!"
