    Hash browns Loaded
    Cashea S.

    This is an upscale waffle house. That is not a negative given most people have a love/hate relationship with the place, but Kelly's is the love side of it. The staff are great and work with what they can given the crowds at times. There is a decent amount of seating, but not a ton. There are booths and counter seats. The menu is short sweet and to the point. It's burgers, breakfasts, and sandwiches. The mushroom Swiss burger is delicious. A little bit of gravy and a nice burger. The loaded hashbrowns hit the spot for brunch. Cheese, veggies, chunks of ham; it's soooo good. The service was great and this was perfect for our after hunting brunch.

    We stopped her after a wedding in Clarksville and it was good. It was really giving Waffle House and I actually love Waffle House so I was not upset about this choice. The food was good and you get a lot for a cheap price. It is definitely not over the top good, but it hit the spot. On the downside, there were a lot of dead flies everywhere, but I felt like it was part of the experience I probably wouldn't go back here, but it made for a good story.

    Ham, Bacon, and Sausage Omelet 1 Biscuit & Gravy

    Stopped by Kelly's Big Burger for a classic Southern breakfast and walked away with mixed feelings. I ordered the omelet with a biscuit and gravy--solid, but nothing to write home about. Definitely edible, definitely filling, but it won't change your life. Think Waffle House vibes, but with a little more wear on the floors and a bit less grease on the food. The floors were a bit on the slick side (watch your step), but the staff more than made up for it with that good ol' Southern hospitality. Friendly faces, quick service, and they keep the coffee coming. If you're looking for a no-frills, hometown diner experience, Kelly's gets the job done. Just don't expect gourmet--this place is about comfort, not cuisine.

    We love coming to Kelly's! 24/7 Diner with breakfast anytime. Great food, big portions, excellent service!

    The everything hashbrowns

    I went here because i had to get my brakes and rotors changed at Midas next door and was hungry. I had heard things before about this place but never had a chance to go. Here is my review. Atmosphere - like almost any diner like establishment, you have your basic 50's style design: spinning seats at the counter and pressed wood booths. The smell of food and sounds of chatter permeate the entire building but at a decent level. Service - the waitresses didnt notice me for about 5 minutes as they were engaged on other tasks. However, you do get that same kind of feel that you would expect in a diner: direct and upfront conversation. Polite and informative as well. Food (what you're really here for!) - I love trying multiple items at any establishment for the first time so i ordered a cheeseburger upgrade (6oz vs. 4oz for $1 upcharge), rocky top half size and a half size of biscuits and gravy along with a soda. The burger was cook mid with some pink which is how i like it. It was juicy but didnt have enough seasoning on it but solvable with salt and pepper. The biscuits and gravy were good but the ends of the biscuit were a little crunchy for me but the gravy was seasoned well. The rocky top reminded me of the everything hashbrowns you would get at Waffle House...only better. TL;DR - good food and environment. Try it at least once!

    Little diner, think of WaffleHouse as far as cleanliness standards. We enjoyed our food and the prices are reasonable. Nothing to write home about but I would recommend it.

    Came by here last night for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The food and service were both great. I love the old diner feel of the place.

    Being a Clarksville native I grew up seeing this place but never tried it until today while visiting. The food was decent I ordered the cheeseburger and fries. I was taken aback because it was kind of small compared to pictures Ive seen but I realize I didn't request it to be jumbo so that was on me. Anywho it's your old fashion burger which is good as I was in a nostalgic mood. The fries were extremely greasy and a bit too overcooked for my liking. My mom got the grilled ham cheese sandwich which she said was really good. Everything totaled about $21 and some change. My rating is primarily based on the fact that when our server came to take our order it felt like there was a bit of an attitude idk. Not too sure but based off of the experience and overall energy of the establishment I don't believe we'll return when we're in town.

    Western Omelet
    Shannon M.

    There were 3 people for sure working. I ordered a Western omelet. You get a choice of toast or biscuit. I did not receive the biscuit. The omelette is a decent size! The actual total was $11.44 after taxes. I felt this was a steep price. Had I ordered through an app, I could see why but I did not. I called & placed my order. They did not ask for name or information me the price. Everything is raising in price, just not size. Staff was polite.

    Deep Fried Honey Bun
    Amy E.

    Amazing burger and even better deep fried honey bun with ice cream. The service was wonderful, go see Hailey! Fun old school diner atmosphere. I'd highly recommend if you're in the area!

However, I soon discovered that the same burger and same toppings was listed at different prices. The only difference was the name of the burger. I asked the cashier about this and he knew. Another thing, if you don't want a bun with your burger they charge $1 extra. Craziness! Always stick to the build your own burger. The menu needs much help the employee who helped knew a lot about the business. However he "smart-talked" to me. I didn't appreciate his attitude. The way the burger was wrapped and presentation was good. They forgot to put lettuce on a few of my burgers though. Also, the burgers had too much gristle that it was stuck in my teeth. Very poor quality meat. Considering this is a burger place, not good. On the bright side, the burgers were a good price. I also ordered chicken wings only to find out they didn't have any left. Overall, I probably wouldn't go back.

    The burgers were great but fine details were missed (banana peppers on my burger, an extra order of…read moreonion rings). Food was freshly prepared and was still blazing hot from the grill when I got home. Excellent onion rings, excellent loaded cheddar fries. Patties are smaller so if you are hungry, I recommend a triple or larger. Service was prompt and servers/cooks were very professional. Restaurant was very clean. Drink area was well-organized. I will eat here again. Good value for the amount of food we bought.

My first thought when we walked in was that the restaurant must be busy all the time, and the tips good, because they had several servers whizzing around taking care of their customers. Good beer and drinks are a given (several house brews), but the food was amazing. We ordered fried green tomatoes (pimento cheese on top) and roasted brussel sprouts, so we could nibble as we drank. Then for dinner: the prime rib au jus sandwich, the Reuben, the Patty Melt, and the Cletus (Southern through and through). Our Toddler ordered the baked Mac N Cheese (good sized serving and looked delicious--lots of cheese and perfectly browned--and a side of fruit). Everyone was happy!

It was very busy around 12:30 mid-day, but I was seated immediately. There is downstairs and an upstairs that looks over the first floor. They have a huge menu. Lots of pub fare. Beer cheese, nachos, various pizzas (tons of combinations, most with lots of meat, and you can create your own). They also have flatbreads (again, several combos, some veggie, some meaty). Entrees include steaks, pork chops, grilled chicken, chicken tenders, salmon, and shrimp tacos. Large selection of sandwiches (turkey, clubs, BLT, reuben, prime rib). And at least 10 different types of burgers. I had the cowboy, made with Monterey Jack, bacon, sautéed onions, mushroom, lettuce, tomato, and pickle). Huge burger (I only ate half). The fries were hot and tasty. The burger arrived medium as I had ordered and the produce seemed fresh. The mushroom and onion flavors were lost somehow, and the burger could have used a little more seasoning, but overall solid for being local to Clarksville. I had a couple of cocktails, some type of margarita with cranberry, and a basic mule. They were fine, but nothing special and nothing I would order again. They have a ton of beers here, and that's what they are known for, so if you're a beer drinker, that's your best bet. They have brunch on the weekends. My server was attentive and kind.

Now it's got so many extra oils and toppings that are extraneous. When you end up mixing them in they don't actually do anything substantial to the flavor profile. I wish they'd yield back with the out of place accoutrements and let the star of the show be their excellent soup. The salad was perfection after some changes! I ordered the Cobb. The grilled chicken had that genuine grilled taste. I had them hold the egg and avocado on the Cobb and sub out the ranch for their house strawberry vinaigrette. Star of the meal! Their house mule cocktail was excellent. Perfectly made, I just wish my lime hadn't been so...dehydrated. My husband has the salmon and the only thing he could say was it was okay but a little dry. Our waitress was very pleasant but very apologetic. We had to wait a good ten minutes before I finally had to get up and go find a high chair. When you have a wiggly two year old and it isn't busy at all it was just inconvenient having to get up and wander around to find one myself while she chatted with the table departing behind us. This was my third visit to Strawberry Alley in the last four years. I would come here again for drinks with friends but probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.
