Kelly's is hands down one of the BEST restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of going to in my life. The food is ALWAYS stunning - even when the restaurant is busy and packed. Even when the restaurant is busy, they are SO good at turning tables and making sure the wait isn't too long. The servers and staff are incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. Kelly's restaurant building is clean, cute, and well maintained. Kelly's is my favorite place to go to for breakfast. I never leave reviews, but for Kelly's I gotta hype them up! read more

Food - yummy Cuban (cubano) sandwich. Also had "Rueben Like" sandwich on separate occasion. They also serve breakfast all day (note open until 2pm). Service - always great with a smile from our servers! Ambiance - casual diner - nice and clean! Sorry no pics this go around will update next time we visit. read more

Visited Kelly's for a late breakfast. Waited for at least two clock minutes while the man at the cash register who I assumed was the owner was talking to a friend. Wasn't overly crowded and several tables were available. A table which was just vacated was quickly wiped off and the owner sat me at that table. The table was wet and was dirty. There were paper droppings all over the floor around the table (see picture). I went back to the cash register and asked the owner to reseat me and I showed him the dirty table. He reseated me and went right back to the cash register. Then he immediately sat a couple at that same table without cleaning it. At my new table, I picked up the menu and there was a food chunk stuck to it (see picture). Gross. Also 3-5 flies hovering around throughout my meal. I had been to Kelly's many times but never saw this kind of filth and carelessness. I was ready to walk out when my server came and I decided to stay. Service and food were good as usual for Kelly's. I think what happens when a place becomes successful, apathy sets in. Kellys is such a local staple that I guess the owner doesn't need to care enough about cleanliness any more. If the dining room was this bad I can't imagine the kitchen area or the rest rooms. Again, food and service were good but I don't think I will be going back there for a while. I'd like to see a few Chester County inspections first. Too bad because I like Kelly's. Two-Star for Kelly's onlt on the strength of their food and service. read more

Friendly staff, short wait for a table on a Saturday morning and fun coffee flight available. Unfortunately the food was bland. Eggs, Cream Chipped Beef and egg sandwich were all lacking in salt or flavor. read more

My family has eaten at Kelly's more than 50 times. They are very hospitable and well prepared to handle large crowds. The food is well prepared and has an excellent taste. Price wise they are middle of the road price versus value. I rarely am able to eat all that is served. A good pick for breakfast and Lunch, and is by far the best in the area that I have tried. read more

Had to take a trip to the top-rated breakfast spot in Chester County. Breakfast special was good, wish the hashbrowns were more golden and less chopped up potato. (4/5) You can't really mess up a pancake, that was good. Very busy place but lots of seating and efficient service despite it being very popular, even on a Saturday morning. (5/5) Simple menu with some fun seasonal specials, like a cherry french toast with sweet cream. Note that they do not have alternative milks read more

Cleanliness. Waiters and waitresses were professional. Quick seating. Tables great to eat off of, not wobbly or too high, just right to enjoy your meal. Basic menu which was nice. You get what you pay for though. Ordered a veggie omelette, hardly any seasoning for $10.50 , didn't taste any vegetables. Service was good. read more

My wife and I often treat ourselves to breakfast at Kelly's. The atmosphere reminds of an oldtime diner. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. Lunch is just as good! read more

Fantastic service in a clean, bright, attractive restaurant. Ordered an omelette with breakfast potatoes and toast, and coffee. The food was good and so was the coffee. Very busy on a Sunday morning and surprisingly, the noise level was not bad. Outdoor seating is available. Private lot with disabled parking near the entrance. No details on the restrooms on this trip. Daily specials for breakfast and lunch. Definitely worth checking out again! read more

Yes. They said they were open at 730. Got there at 930 doors locked. Never again. Went to the diner across the street. Great service, great food. No Kelly's read more

Patty's is always crowded. And always noisy. And sadly the food usually arrives cold. Today we had Signature French Toast and the special, Bacon Avocado Benedict. All up to Patty's standards and delicious, but cold. read more

Went there for lunch we both ordered cheese burger wraps , fries and two drinks one being a soda an a unsweetened Ice tea ! Place was clean and friendly staff. Burgers were ok little meat with no flavor and soggy wraps. Fries were good. Drinks were 4.00 each which is like downtown Philly, did not expect it here. Stick with the breakfast which is good! read more

We ordered a turkey Ruben and a turkey special with onion rings and sweet potato fries. We split them and both were very good. The server was attentive and the place was cute. If we are in the area again we will come back. Fun side note several of the staff were singing to the piped in music which makes me smile. read more

I eat at Kelly's every few weeks, as I live nearby. I have always had a fantastic meal there. Their wait staff is wonderful, the food is fabulous and whoever is their barista does a bang up job with the coffee drinks! The atmosphere and decor are bright and cheerful. I usually go there for breakfast. Their omelets are packed with whatever you order and their pancakes are amazing. I've also had a bunch of their sandwiches and everything has been top notch. read more

Food is great and a large selection of menu items. Prices are very affordable. Very nice staff and clean and pleasant atmosphere. Plenty of parking. read more

If you are a regular early in the morning expect great service. If you are not a regular expect to wait to be served a get cold food. We walked in got seated waited for our waitress to come over after we had to ask. When my eggs came they were cold with cold toast and home fries. Nothing worse than cold eggs. We are from out of town and regret coming here. Never again read more

Food and service were both excellent and Dillon was attentive and wonderful. Excellent natural lighting and a huge selection of breakfast and luncheon fare! Well attended by locals and a wonderful experience! Will return! read more

First time I have been to the restaurant, my wife has been a couple times previously. I very much enjoyed the breakfast I ordered and the menu was well rounded. The service was excellent and our order was up pretty quickly. The decor is nice, not fancy, just very well thought out and done, it is bright and cheerful! I can't wait to go back and have lunch there and if it is as good as my breakfast I will definitely be adding the fifth star!! Thanks for the great meal. read more

So my apologies on the half food pics - we started to split food and eat before my brain clicked to take pics but it was delicious? The sign outside doesn't scream "cute breakfast place" as it's in the middle of a shopping strip BUT it's a cute hidden gem. Gladly going back there again! The staff was great and handled a busy Sunday afternoon with ease. read more

So good! I ordered my usual scrambled eggs with onion and cheese, and it was delicious! Fresh chunky grilled onion, provolone cheese, and nice fluffy moist scrambled eggs. I asked for well cooked bacon and I got exactly that and the Home fried potatoes were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend having breakfast here. read more

Kelly's never disappoints. You'll find plenty of comfort foods on the menu that you'd expect to find at a diner. Prices are totally reasonable. I've eaten here for both breakfast and lunch and I definitely think their breakfasts are where they shine. The wraps and burgers are fine, but kind of meh. Everything I've had for breakfast has been just right. Service is always fast and friendly. Will definitely be back. read more

Stopped here last week as I had a errand to run in that neck of the woods. The waitress here was ok and brought us coffee promptly with plenty of refills offered. At 10 am on a weekday, it was clearly a senior favorite. Eggs were done well and the home fries were pretty tasty, but could have used a bit more seasoning. Location is in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking. Not a destination for me but if I am in the neighborhood and looking for a breakfast spot, I would drop in again. read more

Our family's go to spot for breakfast! We have been coming since Kelly first opened the doors! read more

Freshly cooked/ prepared food in in a bright and open space served with a smile, it's a 5 everytime!

In terms of service, the Kelly's staff is friendly and polite. I live around the block and have been here several times over the years. Sometimes they write cute little notes on the to-go containers when ordering out. Food wise, Kelly's is a solid 3. Their dishes aren't amazing or worth raving about, but they aren't bad. It's just okay - does not have the "wow" factor. If you want a more extravagant brunch go to Nudy's, first Watch or Root's cafe in West Chester. If you want something solid in the neighborhood, then Kelly's is not a bad choice. I'm glad we have something decent local, all the "happening" spots are a bit of a further drive. read more

I love having all day breakfast! Came to Kelly's at lunch time, hubby wanted a burger, but I wanted breakfast. I love the combo breakfast--hash browns, eggs your way, choice of meat, and choice of French toast or pancakes. For the two of us (he had a single burger with chips) it was $31. I think it is pricey for getting diner food, but the service and the speed are both spectacular! read more

I have admit we have driven by here many times. We were so happy we stopped by. We always are looking for a " Mom and Pop Dinner " We have found and fallen in love with here.

( I could not name all of you... I am still learning all your names) read more

Kelly's is our go to breakfast spot. We have tried other places and nothing compares. The service is always amazing and the food is very consistent. We have never been there and Kelly wasn't there. The ambiance is homey and Kelly's witty signs she's has around the restaurant and in the spotless restrooms are always good for a laugh or some inspiration. We love Kelly's. Lunch is good as well. read more

10/10. Would recommend to a friend. Food was excellent all home cooked & fresh. Coffee was and she topped us off on the way out!!
