    Chicken fried steak whole order.
    Kerry F.

    Great fast and friendly service. (I believe server was named Sierra). Food was fantastic and came quickly. Best chicken fried steak I've ever had and I've had many. Perfectly crispy hash browns and yummy biscuit. The "whole" chicken fried steak is two pieces so go for the half unless you are sharing or wanting leftovers.

    Orders breakfast to go while heading to a youth sporting event. Served raw eggs in a minced ham scramble. Basically cooked one side then flipped the uncooked side over a bed of unseasoned hash-browns. Ended up eating part of my husband bland chicken fried steak that was paired with overcooked eggs.

    The clam chowder came in a giant bowl and was really good! The sample of Vegetable Beef stew was amazing!!

    Sometimes in our travels we find a place we wish we could go to over and over again. Kelley's is one of those places! Service, food, prices and vibe were all over the top amazing! Please don't let the outside fool you, the inside is where all the magic is! From the very beginning it was obvious they are true and authentic! The lone server was busy with other customers so we were greeted by the cook! He was so friendly and inviting, told us to grab a seat and they'd bring us waters, menus were at the table. Giant menus!! Our server came in and was just as friendly and inviting as the cook! We felt at home right away, like we'd been there 100 times! Food was fantastic! I had the seafood platter and it was piled high with vein clogging goodness! The shrimp was the best part, these cute little crunchy, puffy morsels of heaven!! Hubby's chicken fried steak was humongous and he said it was the best he's ever had! We got strawberry shortcake to go and it was perfect later, sitting around the camp fire! I highly recommend Kelley's and know for a fact we'll be back! Hard to find a diner like this anymore!

    I don't think they should legally be allowed to call this food. This is made worse by the fact that there are several cafes nearby that serve actual meals.

    We were bringing a special breakfast to family in the area & called an order in when we reached the outskirts of Olympia. It was ready shortly after we pulled up - having to wait only an additional 5 mins. The food was well packaged in to go containers. We had a great conversation with the cook (whose also one of the owners) since it was still early but the waitress pulled up to take my payment. We drive to our destination and had a wonderful filling breakfast. The portions were gigantic, the garbage omelet was flavorful, the gravy of the SOS was spot on. Would highly recommend ordering from this cafe.

    Not fancy but food was great. We were flew in from California and on the way back from a wedding in Mt Rainer we stopped in for breakfast. Service was nice and quick. The breakfast was delicious and portions huge. Contrary to what we read in other reviews there was nothing that made us feel uncomfortable or unwelcome.

    Chicken Strips and Old Fashioned Fries

    Grew up going here every weekend with my grandma Fran and grandpa Walt. I've been here twice since grandma passed away and it's still just as amazing as I remember growing up. Food portions are huge and taste amazing. Best chicken fried steak in Washington even though I admit my favorite thing to get has always been the chicken strip basket with old fashioned fries and the hot chocolate! I will continue to come back and now that my sons old enough he will eat here too. The staff treat you like family and greet you by name. Times are rough but it's worth saving every penny for! This is my happy spot that I go too when I need to feel close to my grandparents, and I want to make it my sons safe and happy spot too.

    We first heard about this place through a suggestion, but initially, we decided to explore other…read moreoptions. However, on a spontaneous decision, my husband and I finally gave it a try one day. Our first experience was quite pleasant--I enjoyed a Bloody Mary (Bunny's Brew) and a burger, while my husband savored some wine along with the spicy pork belly sandwich. We also started with a meatball appetizer. Overall, we appreciated the good service, charming ambiance, and delicious food. Our second visit was even better, especially sitting by the window with stunning views. Once again, the service was excellent, and the food was truly tasty. I had another Bloody Mary (Cooper & Salt Bloody) and spaghetti pomodoro. I can't quite recall what my husband ordered, but I remember sharing a delightful Tiramisu for dessert. By the third time, we came with the family to enjoy dessert after lunch. Most recently, during our fourth visit with friends, we found that the service and menu remained consistently enjoyable. All in all, this is a fantastic place to dine, with beautiful outdoor views--even on rainy days. My one curiosity is whether the menu changes? Although every visit has been wonderful, seeing some new dishes would make the experience even more special!

    I made a reservation for 7 people and shared with them that we were celebrating 2 birthdays and…read moreask for a cake that never came. We showed up on time and still waited 20 min to get our table. Server wasn't friendly at all and food took a while, but at least it was good. Unfortunately they force you to tip 20% when you have a large party otherwise I would have tipped 0.

    Delicious, well balanced meal on the Hood Canal…read more Their chowder was AMAZING. Well balanced, colorful, depth of flavor, umami and textures hitting your mouth. I highly recommend it. My wife had the burger which was decent, and I had the rockfish bowl which came with smoked rockfish (delicious) complemented by kale, sweet potatoes, fluffy eggs, chives, and more. Healthy and good. What I love about the menu items here is that they offer very nutrient dense foods. I love their use of colors and vegetables in their dishes. Ambiance is a casual setting. You go to the counter and order food, pick up a bucket with a number on it, and they bring it to you. You find a seat outside by the water or in the restaurant. And you just enjoy the beautiful scenes. Service is spectacular. Very nice and they come and check on you regularly. Parking is relatively easy (there's a parking lot). We arrived around 11am on a Sunday and it was starting to fill up. Bathroom is cleaning meaning the kitchen is clean! This is on my list of places I'd come back to for sure.

    TLDR: - Price is a tad more expensive (10-25%) than general…read moremarket - Nice view & ambiance, but expo was loud! - Food was mid at best Nice weekend weather so my party and I decided to grab late lunch here after hanging out at the Potlatch SP, so we were peckish! Our table got some grilled oysters, Dungeness crab, seafood chowder, sides of bread (+$5) and sides of crispy potatoes (~$5) Their chowder definitely isn't the chowder we were expecting despite all the good reviews people left about their chowder. As you can see in the picture, the chowder is very watery. Not thick not creamy. They also added spring onions, corns, and carrots etc. Decent amount of clams in it so it had some good seafood umami profile to it. But maybe call it a corn chowder or seafood soup, not chowder. Grilled oysters were great, butter and other seasoning, grilled, makes it smoky and buttery. Dungeness crab has almost taste like those steamed crab you can get from the store. Ok but nothing special. However, their expo is quite loud. I can hear them when we first arrived ti indoor seating area, lining up to order and even at our table. They should know that an open kitchen = exposed + outdoor kitchen. Every thing you say or do can be observed by patrons and it will affect their experience.
