The selection of food is nothing impressive. They take forever to take your order, and the server is not friendly. We ended up just leaving.

I tried this place for the first time yesterday. The food was awesome. We ordered wings, onion rings, their western burger, and dessert. Their onion rings were so hot that steam came out when you bit into it. Not to mention, their staff was so attentive. 3 different waiters checked on our table within a few minutes. I put my name down to be seated inside but found a table outside instead. They still checked on us to see if we wanted to relocate inside when a table became available. Great experience. Would highly recommend. read more

Jake is so accommodating. Everyone here is so welcoming. Service is great. Highly recommend the Irish nachos!

If you can put up with crying Cowboy fans complaining about their game not on the biggest screen then you'll love this place. Many TVs, good food and great staff. read more

I can see why this place has such high ratings. Had a friend visiting from out of town and decided to go out to grab a bite at a late hour. Nothing is open around here! But this place was and they were so nice to open their kitchen for us at 11:30 pm. Oh boy did the food blow us out of our minds. The sliders and the fatty melt were absolutely amazing. We were joking we wanted to meet the cook. The fries were very fresh with a nice crunch on the outside. Major props to the waiter that was servicing all the tables. He was so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is nice too. They have way too many TVs but also games to play. Apparently they have trivia night on Thursdays. I would definitely be back here. read more

Kelly's is so underrated I lose sleep at night. With an incredible line up of beers that consistently brings in fantastic choices, Kelly's is very easily the best bar in the area as far as beer goes. Even more underrated is their kitchen. A solid line up of bar food is available from sandwiches, to burgers, and other shareable dishes. Additionally, if you are looking for a spot to hang out for your favorite sporting event, chances are you can find it here too. I don't know what else I can say besides the fact that this is one of my favorite places in the area, and I don't see that changing any time soon. read more

Great place! We've been going here for years. We always have great service, good food, drinks, and enough TVs to watch every game on.

Over 30 years, two owners , great food and good libations!! Whole family loves Kelly's!!!

Super Place. Out of this world SERVICE. Very friendly environment. The food is excellent. Large Large assortment of good beer and wine. Can't say enough about all the GREAT service, FAST service. It was really crowed, but somehow the servers were there every time we needed something. Always with a smile. Especially Leon. He's the best! Kelly's has lots and lots of large flat screen tvs. Lots of different sports being shown. Great jute box as well. Lots of variety to choose from. Plenty of parking. Kelly's is a place that should be put on your list of regularly visited places. I've been to plenty of high price restaurants in the OC. Kelly's bets them all with the SERVICE they provide, and especially their PRICING (very reasonable). read more

Arrived 40-60 min before game time... to watch the UEFA Champions league final soccer game there recently. Upon entry there were less than 10 Customers in the place. The channel/game was not on any of the screens. Asked the female waitress (worked there for years) if they could put the game on some of the TVs... initial reaction from her was negative, but agreed to put it on one TV. As time went by and additional Customers came in to watch the soccer game it was added to additional TVs with sound. Bottom line is this place is not soccer fan friendly and this waitresses attitude(every time we've been there) is always grumpy. Prime rib sandwich is AMAZING. read more

Stopped here after visiting the Nixon Library. I ordered the Classic Burger with Irish Nachos. I like my burgers well-done. They made it well-done but still juicy., loved it. I needed to wrap a napkin around the burger to catch the drippings as I ate. My friend ordered the Prime Rib dip on garlic bread. She says it is fabulous. She said when her Daughtry comes for a visit from Texas she is bringing her here to eat read more

Great bar! Obviously lots of regulars in this place. Several "buddies" shooting the breeze, drinking beer, hanging out at the bar. Wednesday is 20% off burger night & we took advantage (it's why we went, actually, after reading the burger reviews!) of it! The Chipotle has a killer spicy sauce & perfectly cooked fried egg (a little runny, but not crazy runny!) on top. The Californian was huge and SO good! We checked in for half off Irish Nachos (thank you, Yelp!). Saw lots of orders of wings and will definitely try those next time. They looked crispy-cooked, which we always want & can never find. I had a glass of sav blanc in a chilled glass (nice!) & hubby had one of the many beers on tap which he enjoyed. We will be back! read more

Kelly's Korner Tavern - Oops! Dug into the Irish Nachos before we got a pic! - Burgers Near Me - Placentia, California

I randomly stumbled in here after doing a physical last week and I wasn't expecting much when I walked in. I was starving and just looking for anything I could have. But wow!! What a freakin' find!!!!!! This place blew me away!!! Best. Burgers. Ever! I've never bit into a burger so flavorful before. And I've gone to plenty of fancy restaurants. But this... this was incredible. It reminded me of the flavors of Gordon Ramsay's Burgr. But with their own twist. I'm definitely going to be a returning customer. This place is awesome! read more

First time there, and I've never felt so welcomed in my life!!! Huge shout out to Max, and the rest of the team. I haven't learned their names yet but I'll definitely be back. Thank you so much for the support of our little so cal sharks family. The food? Excellent. The service? Phenomenal! I'd give you all more than 5 stars if I could. Like I said, I'll definitely make the 40 minute drive back to see everyone!! read more

One of my all-time favorite bars. I love taking my girlfriend here and sitting at the bar top. Beers are excellent but you should come here for the food. The food is amazing, every item is made with great quality ingredients and tastes delicious. Seriously, the food here is better than most up-scale restaurants. Special shout out to the bartender Max for giving amazing service. He was very knowledgeable and has great energy. I love this bar. Keep doing what you're doing Kelly's Korner read more

Definitely disappointed in our visit here tonight. Came to unwind with some girlfriends, and just don't get the draw of this place at all. Beer and wine only, our bartender/servers did not introduce themselves at all, no recommendations, we ordered the Yelp check in offer of Irish Nachos, they came out last AFTER our meals. Food came out one person at a time? Never offered drink refills, non alcoholic, once food was served, never checked on again. Seriously waited forever to get the check. Had to flag them down. Everyone was friendly, but held back? Food was good, but lacking service for sure. I drink hard alcohol, so I will most likely never be back, but maybe check out Rem's next door? read more

Favorite bar in the local area.. atleast top 3 in placentia/yorba Linda/ Fulllerton/Brea area

A local local, just not my local, Kelly's Korner looks to be the favorite spot in the neighborhood. The mister was craving some bar food and a tele with a game on, so we made our way to Kelly's. This is one of those places where all of the locals turn to look at you when you walk in. Which one of these things is not like the other? Just us. We must have had a newbie stamp on our heads. We perched on two high stools at a table and he looked to settle right in. A beer and a game, and he is right at home. As for me, I wasn't in the mood for house wine. However, decent food could make me happy. Plus, with a reasonable corkage, I can bring my own wine and they graciously pour for me. The servers warmed up to us after a few trips to the table. Once you are a regular, you are family. Chicken wings- naked and tasty. Burgers - oh yeah. Santa Fe Spring Rolls - I'm addicted. I didn't l know what to expect when we first showed up here. I'm more of a wine bar gal. That said, this has become a favorite local for us. The Mister is on a first name basis with the staff and they don't mind me and my bottle of wine. read more

Very much a sports bar....lots of tvs, beers, and a decent variety of food. Ive been here twice now but I always feel a little annoyed when I leave. The waitresses are not super friendly or helpful....so make sure you already know what you want to drink bc they don't know how to respond if you ask about beer options or request a beer menu. During our most recent visit, we ordered chips and salsa (bc we were hungry and needed a snack while we waited) but the waitress must have forgotten bc she didn't bring it and then stood around talking with different people at the bar top like she didn't have anything to do. When she finally remembered 20 mins later I didn't really want them anymore bc I knew our food would be ready soon...which it was!! Honestly I could forgive her for this little issue if it weren't for what followed. Just after bringing us our chips/salsa, she sat down at the bar top with her own lunch. This is fine. What is not fine, is that while she was eating our food became ready. So she took a big bite, wiped her mouth, and then chewed her food as she walked over to get our burgers. Then without washing her hands, grabbed our silverware (and restocked the silverware behind the bar) and brought us our food. While she walked our burgers to us, she grabbed a little side plate for herself and stopped to drop it off where she was eating at the bar. As she did this while holding our burgers, she leaned forward to reach, and her boob smashed the top of my burger!!!!! I'm not fucking kidding. I saw her boob, smash my burger!!! How!!? Do you nicely complain and a boob touching your food?!!? I really don't know...so I only ate the half of my burger that had not been boobed. (But who knows what happen in the kitchen.) Btw. The burger was actually really good. read more

Kelly's Korner Tavern - The Classic Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Placentia, California

A cool little dive bar. Alcohol is not overly priced at the spot, and the menu is what you would expect from bar food. Several people seem to like the burgers, taco Tuesday is also good at this location. The parking lot needs some work, potholes everywhere so be careful. They have many TVs with sports on everywhere. But no audio. So if you're expecting to listen to a game, good luck. This place gets pretty busy, but there's plenty of seating and a pool table. They have about 20 beers on tap, nice selection of local beers as well as the standards you would expect. read more

Tim told me that him & his friends used to hang out at Kelly's when they were in high school...and get totally trashed. lol. I had to check this place out and I was pleasantly surprised. I wanted to eat so I ordered the 'Fire Melt' Burger (pepperjack cheese, Ortega chiles, sauteed pickled jalapenos, jalapeno aioli, served on sourdough). It actually was DELICIOUS. The bar itself is dive-y in a good way, digital jukebox, lots of TV's and very little lighting. Honestly, I've been thinking about that burger for weeks. read more

This is a pretty popular spot. My brother told me the sliders were on point, so I ordered them, with the pretzel appetizer and it was quite good. He also ordered nachos which were annihilated by the end of the night. The service was sketch and the didn't have ANY pilsners available (which is kind of weird at a bar known for it's beer selection) but it was a pretty busy, so I'll chalk that up to an off night. Worth checking out especially if you are into sports bars with good food. read more

Cool sports bar, but if you want good service, don't sit around the bar. Too many regulars and gossip to be dished between the gals. Off bar seating they are very attentive, however. read more

OMG, who the hell carries Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Stout and High Water Brewing Campfire stout on tap? This place. 5 stars. Hopefully they keep these rare rotations going as Kelly's has become my local watering hole. Oh yeah, on wednesdays, after 9pm, most craft beers are $3 each. read more

My favorite local "go to" place. The food is wonderful! My favorite is the Cali sliders and their Bacon MAC & Cheese isn't bad either. Service has always been consistently great! read more

This is a great neighborhood sports bar. Friendly folks, pool and steel tip darts with lots of tv's and locals hanging out. My wife and I stopped in for a beer on a sat afternoon and to watch a ball game. Nice thing about kelly's is there ISA good mix of male, females so she enjoyed the place - vs other dives we have been in that it is all guys. Also the older gal behind the bar was awesum, she had a packed house and was doing everything by herself ... Yet no one seemed to be waiting when they needed another drink. And did I mention the steel tip darts... cork boards are so hard to find these days, everyone has gone electronic- but not kelly's. Two boards, good lighting on them and out of the way of walk traffic. Thank you to the bar owner for keeping them ... they are few and far between in OC and IE. we will be back!! read more

We drove from Tustin to enjoy breakfast, as a previous YL resident there was no other small business I'd rather support. Breakfast Burgers are simply a go to menu item for me. Thank you for the best breakfast burger we have ever had. My boyfriend said the bacon was the best bacon he's had in a while. Always delicious and always great service! To Jim and the crew : We appreciate you opening up your business during this time of uncertainty. Thank you for always being there for our community. read more

Everytime.... Great service, great good, great selection of beer... Even during a pandemic the service hasn't changed! It will always be a go to. Thank you! read more

Pretty much a local watering hole. Crowd on a Friday night tended towards my age 60. Service was friendly and the food was good. Perfect for taking my 21 yo son for a quick bite. read more

Great bar atmosphere and great place to watch games. Looks like a neighborhood hangout place. Lots of regulars there food is good...onion rings were really really good! Tuna a little dry and street tacos were very tasty but chicken a little dry. read more

Food is excellent, beer is great " wide selection" and service is killer too. I would highly recommend stopping in here. Every sports game you can think of on to. It's crazy how many TVs they have! Great spot ! read more

My favorite bar In the area! Not only is the food good bit the service is always fast. Order the bacon wrapped poppers and you won't be disappointed. Super clean and plenty of beer options! read more

Where everybody knows your name or at least your drink order. Finally got my go-to bar with so many good eats to choose from and a variety of local beers. Love the staff here and especially trivia night hosted by Dougie. Get the specials, Irish nachos, tacos, sandwiches, salads, or my absolute fav is buffalo wings. The food is s'good. S'get anything. Get it girl. This place is the whole package. read more

We stopped in Saturday night to watch a little football and grab some beers before a basketball game around the corner. The front parking lot was crowded but we found more parking in back. Really good tab beer selection and decent service considering how busy it was. We got the last spots at the bar and most tables were taken at about 4 pm. When we left at 5 it looked like it was really filling up with the dinner crowd. Some people were pretty dressed up. We didn't have time to eat but customers were raving about the food. We'll have to come back to try it out! read more

I've enjoyed Kelly's since the mid-90's, but during the pandemic I've come to have a whole new appreciation for this pub. Jim and his team have done so much to heal our community, just by sticking to their guns and doing what they do best. Friendly service, great beer selection, and excellent food. Just when I thought I'd experienced it all, tonight a young man called Caleb put down a piece of his cheesecake in front of me, and it blew my mind. It was his Cinnabon cheesecake, and it was the best I've ever had. Do yourself a favor, and make the time to visit Kelly's Korner. Have a pint, order some food, and top it off with a slice of Caleb's cheesecake. Have it on the patio at dusk. Tip well for Julie, Ryan, Kristen, Bobby, McKenna and the rest. I'll be over in the corner with my friends, listening to Bowie and grinning like a teenager with a secret. read more

Kelly's is a great pub with a diverse and decent crowd. No drunk raging testosterone filled men found here! Ample parking and the pub is easy to find. Very clean and spacious, there's a bar and booths for dining. Tons of tvs everywhere, great place to watch sports and hangout with friends. Decent beer selection and they have different specials that go on every night! I came on a Thursday, I think trivia night was happening. I was very surprised by the quality of the food! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious! Prices were moderate as well. Ordered the Santa Fe Rolls -5/5 California sliders - 4/5 Barbecue burger- 4/5 Service was great, prompt and friendly staff! -5/5 I can definitely see myself being a regular here. read more

This place has really stepped their game up with the Togo orders and parking lot dinners. Love to see local Places thrive and it's because the owner still cares about its customers. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because my Togo order was not done correctly and two out the three items were not correct. Overall the effort the business owner is putting in still shows that they deserve a great review. read more

Such a great place to grab a great meal and cold beer and catch up with just about anyone you know on the neighborhood. Love they let pups on the patio- can't go wrong at Kelly's read more

Never had such a rude service! They complain about switching TV games around even though no one is watching them. You get grunting from the servers. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

Kelly's has been a staple for years in Placentia and it's great to see they've stayed hip and fresh. Tons of beers on tap and plenty of TVs! Kyle provided quality service and the food tasted great. Definitely recommend coming here to watch a sporting event. read more
