    The restaurant is like home. Comfortable and not overly decorated. Now the food is another thing. Probably the best fried chicken in the area hands down . The corn muffins straight from moms kitchen the best and the Mac and cheese just makes you know the place is legit.

    Went to Kelsey's for their $19.99 all you can eat soul food brunch and it was simply AMAZING! There was nothing in their extensive brunch buffet that was not 5 star flavorful. Fried chicken, made to order fried whiting and red velvet waffles are a MUST. Thank you Kelsey's for a seamless introduction to shrimp and grits, I will no longer shy away from the dish.
