SMALL, CRISPY WINGS! One more time for those who are looking for medium or large wings: SMALL AND CRISPY! My favorite wing place of all time. You don't have to order extra crispy or wet, they come out perfect every time. They are cooked to order, so it can take a while longer than places who pre-cook. Try a Kelly Fry or French Onion Soup and pretty much anything else on the menu. All good all the time. Service is always friendly and quick, even when busy. They've been here since 1990, so I think they have it figured out. Bonus craziness on St Patrick's Parade Day, bag pipes and good cheer o'plenty! read more

(4 1/2 stars) An institution in the city of Scranton! The big argument about this place will be that they have "pigeon wings" or tiny wings. While their wings do tend to be smaller than other normal or even jumbo sized wings, to call them pigeon wings is just ridiculous. If you're someone who eats an order of 10 feel free to order 15 here and get the same full belly effect. The one thing they have going on that cannot be matched is consistency. It doesn't matter who's cooking, the day of the week, or the crowd size. The wings are always the same size, cooked the same way, and sauced the same way. I do feel as if they travel well too due to their smaller size. Reheating them with an extra side of sauce, has proven to be a hit at parties. They deserve to be in the conversation for best wings in the area. The staff is friendly and attentive. There is a large family friendly dining room. The one negative, I do wish the bar area was larger. If you're able to find a seat, it is a nice time, but it is a very narrow and limited seating experience. read more

The one bartender was awesome. My wings were wrong and they charged me for what was missing. Double charged on all drinks. First time there and will never go again! read more

We go to Kelly's once every few weeks for wings (not on wing night). They're always consistent, delicious, and fast. The staff is always friendly as well read more

After a few years not going to Kelly's, I found the wings to be the small ones, as they come in small and large. The small ones have Wing Night at 50 cents apiece . Kelly did away with Wing Night and 10 wings are $12 The wings I got were very small and over cooked for my taste. 2 bits and it was gone . The $4 draft domestic beers are too high in price and should not be more than $3 top for the area . The bartenders and staff are very nice though . read more

The wings are so over rated I've been hearing so much about them and finally got a chance to have them and what a disappointment The only reason I'm giving 2 starts is because the Martini list was long and I was able to try 3 different ones The Michelle is by far the best tasting but if you want a kick order the watermelon read more

Kelly's Pub & Eatery - The Michelle Martini was very tasty - American Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

I ordered 100 wings for a family get together, they were quite literally the smallest wings I've ever had and it was over $100 for pick up. The sauce is still great but not good value, "the one bite wing." read more

Not happy to spend $24.00 on baby wings. Like who would be happy to spend 24 on 20 wings. Never ordering from this place again. read more

Coming from near Fargo, ND I love the wings. I wish they had these wings back home. So good! The bartender was incredible and helped multiple people efficiently and with a smile. This will be my go to spot when I'm back in Scranton. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. This place is an embarrassment. The wait staff gets lost in the clouds with no direction on where to go or what to do. The food is just outright bad. I got a chicken wrap and wings and not only was the wrap just lettuce and tomato but they are straight up robbing people blind with the size of the wings. They should make sure on the menu they promote 1 bite wings before the people order them. Not only was the size of the wings the smallest I have ever seen but it tasted like the fryer oil hasn't been changed in months. Please do yourself a favor and save yourself the trip. This place should be demolished or be on kitchen nightmares. read more

SMALLEST WINGS EVER. The size is actually laughable. Smallest in town. I can't believe this place still gets crowds. Nice people, nice place, itty bitty teeeeeeenie tiny wings. Go to the Patch or Zaleskis. Trust me. read more

Absolutely amazing food and amazing service highly recommend, wings are incredible all the sauces taste amazing!

WOW!! Was in town and wanted a local place. GREAT food and superb service. Highly recommend!!

Best wings in Pennsylvania period. Kelly's has been in business and making deep fried wings since 1754- yep that's before the revolutionary war. They are a classic Irish pub with a restaurant area and a bar area. Sit at the bar area unless you have a large family. God beer is good and cold. Excellent assortment of bottled beer too. However I recommend the mixed drinks especially the MICHELE MARTINI. Get that and a dozen or two wings (extra crispy) you can't go wrong. Tell them Joe J sent you and you'll get the martini with a side car. Essentially Two martinis. Again tell them Joe J told you about this. Have fun. Also very packed on St Patrick's Day and Scranton St Patrick's Day that's s week before and see the parade. Have fun. read more

Excellent food, terrible service. I'll start with the good side first. Everytime I go here I always get something different, and they never disappoint. Every salad tastes great and the burgers and wings are unrivaled. Speaking of the wings, they're the best in the area. A little on the crispy side and bursting with spice and flavor. You can't go wrong with any type of sauce and the prices are good for what you're getting. If only my Kelly's experience had a "happier ever after ending", I'd be giving this place 5 stars. However, the service was awful. The speed at which my food came out was decent, but the waitress I had was very rude, disrespectful, and dull to my entire party. She constantly made comments on things she had no place butting in, and polarized my entire eating experience. I'm not one to get offended at many things, but what she was saying some very disrespectful things (that I chose not to specify) that were completely uncalled for. I know you can't judge an entire restaurant on one bad waitress I had, but it was so terrible I couldn't help leaving it out. read more

Going to Kelly's for wings always puts me in a good mood. I am addicted to hot wings, and Kelly's never lets me down. They're not the biggest or meatiest wings in the area, but they are consistently cooked to perfection...hot and crispy with just the right amount of sauce. I always start with an order of their hot, and if I'm still hungry, follow up with an order of hot/garlic. It's also a plus that you can order all drums or all flats at no extra charge. My one complaint is that I wish they had a larger selection of draft beer. At least they always have Harp Lager and a Sam Adams seasonal on tap. Overall, Kelly's shines with a great family atmosphere, incredible wings and great service. read more

Kelly's Pub & Eatery - A fresh order of hot wings. - American Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

Easily five stars because the staff was very accommodating and friendly. We got the 15 wings half mild half garlic and they where cooked to perfection (crispy & saucy). read more

Great food, but customer service was a real issue for me and my friends tonight. We went and ordered one plate of 50 wings and split it amongst 5 people. We are all college aged kids and we dont make alot, so when we get to go out to eat it is a big event. At the end of our dinner when we got our check, our waitress tried to tip herself for 18 percent, which was absurd. When she came by the table I asked her if she would take off the 18 percent and that we would still tip but didnt have enough to pay 74 dollars when we were already paying 63. She proceeded to give me a nasty attitude and slammed the receipt in front of my face. Safe to say I wont come back after she attempted to scam us and then became nasty when I politely asked for a correction. read more

Delicious wings. Wing night is on Wednesday - minimum of 5 wings - with multiple sauces and rubs to choose from. They serve good blue cheese as well. Just be prepared to wait for a table around dinner time on Wednesday as wing night is a popular event. read more

I wanted to check out this page out of curiosity, because I have been coming to Kelly's with my family since I was small. It is a nostalgic favorite of mine! You know, there are a whole lot of whiners complaining about the size of the wings, and I am here to defend said wings. Yes, the wings are small. That is because they are premium quality wings that are not pumped up with fillers - you can just taste it. If you want giant, fatty, slimeball wings, that's up to you. These are crispy, tangy, buttery, spicy, and overall delicious and I hope they never change! This is a no-frills establishment and I love it- everything is always so good. My dad orders French onion soup at every restaurant he visits. He travels a lot, and Kelly's still can't be beat. Their spinach bacon salad is 100. Even the fries are always hot and crispy and fluffy inside, just as they should be. And the bleu cheese is the GOOD stuff, with big chunks of cheese. Hello! Kelly's is a hometown favorite. read more

Tried Kelly's tonight for the first time due to having a gift certificate. Food and service was good, regular portions. I drove out of my way just to try the place. I didn't see anything really special about it. read more

False advertisement on wing night. Wing night is posted on their website saying half off and it is completely false

So try out Kelly's everyone raves about their wings .... ok we did. Mine did not look like that picture on here. They were cooked to perfection but the sauce was like watered down hot sauce. Nope not happening! Pizza was terrible as well ...bland nothing to remember. 130$ bill n unhappy. Waitress was awesome and the mixed drinks kicked ass. Not a total loss. read more

This place is perfect to go to with a friend or a loved one. The wings are perfect! Best wings I've had in a long time, totally worth the drive! :) read more

This is a great place for a quick bite or meeting friends. You can't beat Kelly's wings and cheese fries! I'm not a fan of their pizza... is was mediocre at best. On our last trip, my cousin got a brownie ala mode which was yummy and huge! I've gotten takeout from there a few times which is good but had to wait a long time beyond when they said it would be ready the last time. read more

Their wings are awesome! My review would be a five if i had tried anything else lol. But when i wanna treat my family to an awesome friday or saturday treat we always go here. read more

So everyone in Scranton talks about how great this place is and how they have amazing wings... The wings are delicious for sure, but they're TINY. They're like the littlest wings ever, and they're $0.70 each. Doesn't seem like a lot, but when you compare that to most places in the area that have $0.35-$0.50 wings, it kinda sucks. They have a very limited selection of draft beers, mostly Light beers and Yuengling, pitchers are $6.50 if I remember correctly. Also, if you're going to get wings, make sure you order Hot or Very Hot, my wife got the Medium and they were extremely mild, I got the Hot, and they were what I would call a "medium", but still very good. read more

KELLYS BEST WING SPOT HANDS DOWN great for eating in and have a few beers berry family oriented good clean atmosphere I just wish they would upgrade there pizza it's hard to find a restaurant around that has good pizza and wings I normally pick up wings at Kelly's and go elsewhere for pizza but I give the wings and plenty of other foods five stars . read more

I was on a service call for this restaurant, and I was lucky enough to obtain some wings at the end of the job. The wings were great garlic Parmesan with a small kick! It was great new to the area, so these wings hit the spot no doubt about it. read more

Driving to New York for a wedding and I stopped for the night on Scranton. Using google maps to locate a place to eat I found this gem. It was a Thursday night and the place was packed so I went to the bar. I ordered a draft beer and a cheese steak with fried onions. OMG this sandwich was so delicious. Best cheese steak I have eaten in years. Service was excellent like the food and the cold beer. Prices were reasonable and my only wish was to have a place like this in my hometown. read more

Normally we look forward to the great food and great service. While the food was still great, I was very disappointed with the manger. I was overcharged, I felt, twice, the third time the manager came out she said she didn't have time for this and said dinner was on her very rudely. I felt bad for the waitress and I do hope she doesn't end up having to pay for it but I left what I thought was a substantial tip read more

Please consider visiting elsewhere. If you like chicken wings, there are dozens of other places in the area that do it better.

Kellys used to be good, now they just serve miniature wings with a little wing sauce. Very disappointed with their wings.

Used to be awesome by far the best wings in Scranton. Now they are tiny buttery messes with almost no wing sauce on them. They charge $1.50 for an extra side of sauce which was mainly butter. The place is also constantly packed with people which I'd good except there are too many tables so people are always bumping you from behind. Not exactly ideal when trying to eat a wing. read more
