    Breakfast shots
    A M.

    This went so much better than expected. Breakfast shots?! Delicious Kelly's cooked oysters ?! Delectable Chicken and waffles ?!!!! THE BEST!!!! Wings ?! Get it with the Voodoo sauce, yum! The service was amazing and we got there at a good time before it got busy. It gets busy. She was great and attentive and efficient and friendly. It's small but feels welcoming. Coming again for sure !!!!!

    We stopped by for lunch. I love the wedge salad. The romaine and blue cheese are amazing. The presentation of the salad with the balsamic is beautiful. Service is so friendly and helpful. We added the chicken and waffles to our lunch. Syrup on the side. The waffles were cooked perfectly crispy and tender inside covered in butter. The chicken tenders were juicy. Bloody Mary's were spicy.

    Love this place!! We come here every time we visit Hernando FL. We love their lobster fries and dry rub chicken wings. Service is always excellent! The casual ambiance is perfect for us to come in at any time of the day. We made a stop for lunch on Valentine's Day and restaurant was giving out roses to ladies. That's really sweet.

    Yummy Philly Cheesesteak and crispy French Fries and Lemonade

    Lunch fit for an Irish Queen! I'm not a Queen but if I were, I would go here for lunch every day! I came here for the Oysters and Reuben sandwich but ended up ordering the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and Oysters Rockefeller. I'm glad I did. BOTH WERE DELICIOUS! I ate every bite of the sandwich. It was so juicy, seasoned perfectly and absolutely satisfying! The crispy French Fries were an added bonus. I couldn't eat the whole sandwich and all of the oysters by myself so next time I'll have to bring a date. I will be making Kelly's a regular lunch stop but I'm afraid the sandwich was so good I will probably keep getting it over and over again and not try anything else. The service was fast and friendly. Food was perfectly cooked and so delicious that next time I feel like a Queen, I'll go back. I'll see you soon Kelly's!!

    Charbroiled oysters

    Seafood at a pub?! Kelly's has to be one of the best places in town to eat. Big portions, nice waitstaff, fresh seafood - all while being in an IRISH PUB?! Very glad we stumbled in. We tried about every app we cold, and the garlic fried shrimp & the Ruben egg rolls (with fresh horseradish like our wonderful waitress suggested) were the standout. They seem to have a good happy hour but we didn't get there quite early enough. Others got the Kelly burger (very big, pretty good), the ahi tuna (good fish overall but the toppings were a bit much) and the charbroiled oysters (big and very good!). Waitress kept our drinks full which was great after a long day out on the water, we NEEDED water. Good spot!

    Stumbled upon this restaurat and a review of Yelp decided to have lunch here. Kelly's is located in strip mall with limited seating inside. When I arrived it was "seat yourself" and the only option was a 6 person bar height wood table which was in the middle of the restaurant and you can easily smell any cigarette smoke coming from the front entrance of the restaurant - very off putting. Serive was slow and left me wondering why it took so long to order and have drinks ( a soda & waters) served. Items ordered - 1/2 dozen raw Oysters on a half shell, the Oysters were of good size with enough of the "liquor" still in the shell however upon eating my last Oyster a good size worm emerged from the Oyster. I brought this to the attention of another server since I couldnt locate my server. The Oysters were removed and when our server came by I mentioned the worm to her and she advised that she is not surprised there was a worm since the Oyster came from the ocean. I have eaten plenty of raw Oyster from all over East to West Coast and have never had a worm or any other creature come out. The Oyster's were removed from our tab. Lobster Fries with Chili Garlic Aioli sauce on the side. The Lobster Fries were served in cast iron skillet. Fries were crispy and covered in melted cheese with bits of Lobster. The Lobster Roll Maine style was also served in a cast iron skillet with fries under the roll. The Lobster Roll lacked flavor and needed more Old Bay Seasoning. Guinness Clams tasted mostley of the Guinness and overpowered the clam taste. The Clams were suppose to be served with Cuban Bread however it was not served with the clams, our server stated they were making fresh one but she forgot to bring it out and the bread was finally served after we were finished eating. Unfortunately I won't be returning

    Yellow Fin Tuna Sashimi Steakhouse Smash Burger

    Fabulous service we love this place Karrie and Keegan always make our meals special. The food is excellent, huge hamburgers cooked to perfection. The yellowfin tuna is excellently prepared and the lobster rolls are the biggest in town. We always start with a couple dozen of oysters, which are always fresh. Try the Parmesan oysters excellent.

    Lobster bisque, chock full of Lobster Bisque
    Amy K.

    Food - 10 Service - 10 even though very busy and intervention required for a missing entree Ambiance - very noisy, kids, bad singing Beer- cold, 20 ounce pours, lots on tap. Not cheap, $15 for 2 Harps. Wait - 45 minutes on a Saturday night at 6pm, playoff football games on Parking - lots For my taste, the half wedge was a bit sweet from the balsamic. I might skip that second dressing next time or get it on the side. The blue cheese was great. Excellent fries and already seasoned. Very large and juicy burger. My parents asked me to downplay my review so that it won't draw too many customers!

    Average brownie 5/10, but amazing lobster bisque soup! I would come back to try different items.

    "From the first bite to the last fiddle note, Raglan Road serves up a true taste of Ireland with a…read moreside of pure Disney charm." We made our way over to Raglan Road Irish Pub for a lively, high-stepping dinner, and it absolutely delivered. It was a busy evening--we arrived a few minutes past our 6:45 reservation--but were still seated without much trouble in a back section of the restaurant. Honestly, it worked out perfectly. The space is large enough that even from the back, you still catch the energy of the live music and those impressive Irish dancers without it being overwhelming (a big win with our son in tow). The menu is packed with hearty Irish favorites and, of course, an excellent drink selection. Being in "Ireland," there was no question--I had to go with a Guinness, and it was a flawless pour. We were joined by my sister-in-law visiting from out of town, and this ended up being the perfect spot for a memorable evening together. On the table: the braised beef (rich, tender, and absolutely worth the recommendation), the "Let There Be No Rush" pork (my pick and a standout), and the famous shepherd's pie, which fully lived up to its reputation. Portions were generous--I even had leftovers to enjoy the next day, which might be the most underrated Disney Springs souvenir. Service was warm and friendly, adding to the welcoming pub atmosphere. Beyond the main dining room, the entire Irish corner of Disney Springs feels like its own little world, complete with outdoor entertainment, a gift shop, and even quick-service bites over at Cookes of Dublin. Between the music, the dancing, the food, and the atmosphere, Raglan Road truly brings it all together. If you're looking to pick your own four-leaf clover at Disney Springs, this is the place to do it. Sláinte!

    Came for a Saturday brunch, party of 5, and sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather…read more Service good. Food good. Drinks good. Started with a spicy Bloody Mary. Good, but presentation somewhat lacked with a bent over piece of bacon. Was hoping for the basic celery. Nice kick. Friend had a champagne drink, cute presentation and she enjoyed. I had the pot pie, chunks of chicken and a flaky crust. I do wish there were more veggies, had mushrooms only. Still enjoyed a lot. Friend had the Benedict, mostly bread- but also may not have understood the description clearly. Still enjoyed and did have crisp cooked carrots and delicious colcannon potatoes. Another had the vegan shepherd's pie and liked it, very filling. Another had the chicken salad, with perfectly seasoned chicken. We will be back, lots of items to try.
