Inviting, good atmosphere, good service, quick, and scripture on the Specials board. Red Beans and Rice, shrimp Po'Boy all deemed very good and Onion Rings delicious. Condiments did need refreshed but could have been because of lunch rush. read more

If your looking for a good plate lunch , this is the spot, nice dining and friendly staff

Waited 20 minutes for 2 plate lunches to be told we sorry we lost your ticket. Will not come again.

We really enjoyed lunch here. Friendly service and hot food! The gumbo was very good and the 1/2 pork 1/2 beef burger was super. We had potato salad also which was good tho I like mine more seasoned. Overall I would definitely visit here again. read more

See all

Overall great service! Food is great and fresh and also the desserts. I recommend the strawberry creme pie.

While in the area helping out a friend clear their property of debris after a storm . We decided to try and find a place to eat. That was open the morning after the storm. Since the electricity was out in most of the city it was slim pickings. Despite the power being out this place was open. Serving up sandwiches, po-boys, fries, hot meals and more. One thing they didn't do that I really liked. They didn't price gouge their customers. Like I've seen many places do before. We were able to order our food and ate at the Diner. So I want to thank them for not only being open that day. Also for not taking advantage of their customers during a time of crisis. read more

Kelly's Diner is a great little local place to get a filling plate lunch, sandwich, burger, or po-boy. It is located right next door to Kelly's Country Meat Block, where you can get some Cajun meats and sausages to take home. It isn't very far off I-49 and US 190, so it would be easy for travelers to visit on the way through the Opelousas area. The diner is small and quaint, with Formica tabletops and slices of pie lined up on the counter. There is limited seating, but there is also a back room if you don't see an open table. You order first, pay, then you get a number to take to your table. They will deliver your food pretty quickly, so it is a good choice if you are short on time. I typically get a plate lunch, which usually includes a Cajun meat specialty, rice and gravy, side vegetable, bread, and a little desert. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. Drop in and see why the parking lot is often so full at lunch time! read more

Overall great service! Food is great and fresh and also the desserts. I recommend the strawberry creme pie. Also, prices are not expensive.

I came across this little place from Yelp. Highly recommend it. The young lady working the Front had a great sense of humor. And the food was great. read more

If you are ever looking for a good plate lunch, this is the place. I appreciate that the plate lunches taste like your mom just cooked a Sunday dinner. The food is hot and tasteful. I do wish that the cake or bread wouldn't get mixed with the food at times. The inside is not to big for the lunch rush but this place is definitely good for a pick up order. read more

It's a very small place so don't plan to dine in. We usually order and leave. The plate lunches never disappoint, delicious homemade goodness. The real deal for Cajun food. But what I love to get from here is the fried shrimp PO-boy. I can't get enough. read more

The food was Delicious!!! Traveling back to New Orleans from a Conference and started looking for somewhere to eat on Yelp. We always like to try the out of the way neighborhood place and Kelly's did not disappoint. On a Sunday most places wouldn't be too busy but we got there right before they were swamped with people. Definitely will be back! Also their Butcher Shop next door had some great selections. read more

Delicious plate lunch at reasonable price. We had generous servings of pork tips with rice and gravy with one side, a roll, and dessert. It tasted like it had come right out of a South Louisiana HOME kitchen. read more

Best burgers in the parish! Meat block has a great selection as well. Service is fantastic! Cindy and Mike really blew me away! Wish it was on DoorDash read more

Headed from Hammond La to North La. Saw this little place on my Yelp app. It's a couple minutes off the interstate but totally worth it! I got their hot lunch, full of flavor and quality of the food is great! Right next door is a "meat block" that looks like the meat would be awesome too. I'm going to definitely come back for some gumbo! Large portions!! read more

Kelly's Diner - Special for today: Smothered steak with rice and gravy! Yum!! - American Near Me - Opelousas, Louisiana

Fair prices, nice clean enviroment,. Food is delicious as well!

Sunday plate dinners were great. Adequate seating if you choose to eat on site or call in your order. I would dine in their again ! They also have a meat market also. read more

The best tasting plate lunches in OPELOUSAS! My favorite being the crawfish etouffe'. The food is served fresh and the staff is friendly and courteous. Another favorite is the BBQ pork plate lunches which were served on Saturdays. Sure do miss my frequent visits since I moved, but I always stop by when I'm passing through. read more

Awesome roast beef po-boy and onion rings and sweet potato fries. My wife's shrimp po-boy was also great.

I was passing through on my way to New Orleans and was looking for a good shrimp Po Boy. I found this place on Yelp and was not disappointed. Nothing fancy and it seems to be a locals favorite. Good call on the sandwich! read more

My Texan ass says mmm mmm good! Some off the best meatloaf ever. Tomorrow meat tips and rice. Glad to be in Louisiana.

Had one of the best Club sandwiches ever. My two friends had the Cajun Burger and the Gumbo. Everyone liked their meals a lot. I sampled the onion rings and was impressed! We found this place using the Yelp app. As out-of-towners, we never would have found this little "hole in the wall" otherwise. We were so glad we found it. read more

This place is so good!!! I recommend it to anyone visiting Opelousas. They have everything from plate lunches to fried food to hamburgers. I have celiac disease and can't have wheat or gluten. Kelly's Diner was so helpful with letting me know what I could eat. It is hard to get really good gluten free cajun food! The hamburger steak without the gravy was spicy and delicious. It seems like all the locals come here. Take out is easy here. Just call and pick up usually 20 minutes later! read more

Well the complaint I will have to have is the shrimp is not fresh in fact it is IQF(instant quick freeze) I'm from Hackberry LA why is it everywhere on this side of the interstate only serves IQF shrimp if you want good seafood go south on 27 you'll taste the difference. where I'm from we don't believe in this, it has a tough rubber texture and you can literally taste the chemical in it. try it for yourself buy store bought shrimp IQF and then go cast a net for fresh you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. read more

Great little dinner to eat at if your hungry for hearty food. Like rice and gravy. Red beans and rice, and stews. And aslo has great custom made burgers, onion rings, fries, and fired pickles. I know the hosstes there. Shes my aunt. If you see this reveiw and decide to go there and see a skinny woman with long dirty blond hair tell her that her nephew jase is putting in a good word on yelp lol read more

Great poboys!! Soft bread and fresh shrimp!

Found this place through yelp while on road trip from Florida to Texas. Wanted tasty food without going far from our route. Ordered our food at counter and sat at table. Food came quickly. A lot of locals were eating here. read more

Good home cooked plate lunches, friendly folks, decent prices. Small place but good and pretty quick.

Excellent choice for lunch. Traveling through on the way to Shreveport. Ordered shrimp & fish plate & Meatball special.

Highly recommend! We were working near Opelousas looking for a bite for lunch. We found this little place that looked like it would have a menu to please everyone. It doesn't look like much but don't be fooled. We walked in to a crowded dinning room right after noon. The friendly waitress got a table ready for us in just a couple of minutes. We ordered just a few minutes later, getting burgers, roast beef poboy, and a crab burger, with onion rings, corn nuggets, and funnel fries (think beignet fingers). All were really good! The burgers were a little spicy, even just the regular burgers. But one in our group simply asked for a less seasoned burger and they remade it right then. And the coffee afterward was fantastic and served in an array of styles of coffee cups- just like home! Lunches with the sides and drinks averaged $9.00. The wait staff was really cheerful and accommodating. We really enjoyed it! read more
