Been here a couple times, a steak house you expect consistency and that's not what we got. This is an overall rating of 4/5 for our 4 trips here but first time I got pictures. Prime rib, they are very lucky I don't mind rare meat bc I ordered medium rare and this felt to me about as rare as a slow cooked prime rib gets. Still tasted good and the au jus is great. Bisque is good, just don't know why you can't upgrade your side salad or side soup for it when it's the same size. Don't mind paying extra but I don't need 4 starters with my meal. Parm filet, I could tell my wife was like damn I should have got a normal filet or ribeye. It was good but stick with the classics. It's a steakhouse, it's expensive, the atmosphere is very typical of a steakhouse, but go with a normal steak and you'll be pleased. Their deserts are 10/5, so good. read more

This is a great steak house for special occasions. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding.

Exceptional food. Started with the stuffed mushroom app, crab was plentiful, cheese was delectable. Had the NY Strip w/ Kelsey's potatoes, perfectly cooked and potatoes were a nice blend of onion, green peppers and butter, very flavorful. Wife had the prime rib, perfectly cooked, creamy horseradish offered and aus jus which was a great compliment. It was my birthday so they also sent a take home cake as the meal was too much to finish but they offered it to go which was a nice touch. read more

Was recommended this place for dinner by my hotel manager. Was very busy, but I was seated right away in the bar at a high top. Waiter was very attentive and I ordered a wine, French onion soup, and a filet mignon medallions with a shrimp skewer. Everything came out quickly, but with plenty of time to enjoy it before the next dish arrived. The onion soup came with scissors to cut the cheese lol. Steak was cooked perfectly, the shrimp were juicy! Had a very nice meal with great service. read more

Went to Kelsey's last night for a steak dinner me and my wife split the porterhouse steak cooked, medium rare everything turned out great. The steak was seasoned very well and cooked a perfect perfection. Will be back soon. read more

Our dinner was amazing last night! My filet was cooked to a perfect medium and melted in my mouth! I added blue cheese and it was chef's kiss! My girlfriend got the filet tips and it was delicious as well! The French onion soup was so good too! Definitely going back! Our service was great too! Her name was Brittany A! read more

I'm here to celebrate my birthday! I love this local family owned restaurant! I prefer family owned over chain restaurants any day! We were seated and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming! It's cold here today so everything is just cozy and warm. Melanie was our server. She is the epitome of service excellence. Her knowledge, demeanor, and professionalism was outstanding! She looks like Drew Barrymore's twin and seriously made our dining experience fantastic! I ordered the ribeye, medium well, with Kelsey butter (a phenomenal Irish garlic butter). The French Onion soup, salad and veggies were awesome. I topped it off with two glass of Simi Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma wine. Yum!!!! For dessert, I had a slice of eggnog cheesecake to go. The plate read Happy Birthday and had a candle. Very cool! I love everything about this restaurant! It's a must go. When you come, ask for Melanie. She will hook you up! read more

Service was slow but because it was the weekend it was understood. The server was not super attentive. Husband steak was supposed to be medium well but it was so overdone. Talked to a manager and she comped part of the meal, which was appreciated. My prime rib was NOT medium rare as I had ordered, quite the opposite. However, with a little horseradish it was acceptable. The FRENCH ONION soup was amazing. (Love the cheese cutting scissors) read more

I went for the filet mignon and it did not disappoint. The meat was so tender I barely needed a knife. It had this buttery flavor and was topped with a little herb butter that melted right in. I liked that the portion size was filling but not overwhelming. The server gave great wine pairing advice and everything came out in good time. The atmosphere was warm and kind of romantic without being over the top. Definitely a solid steak spot worth revisiting. read more

We went here the other day for my birthday. I got Fillet mignon. It was so tender and perfect. Waitress was super nice. Ambience very nice. We enjoyed our time as a family there. read more

The New York strip was a solid choice. Nicely seasoned and had a bold, beefy flavor that didn't need any sauce. The steak came with roasted veggies that were fresh and well cooked. My server was really friendly and checked in a few times to make sure everything was good. It was busy but the food still came out quickly. The ambiance was cozy, not too loud, which I liked. Overall, a really good dinner. read more

Highly don't recommend to anyone who has a shellfish allergy. I went here and then had an allergic reaction for 3 days straight.

Excellent prime rib, service and hospitality. It is a consistent product offered every time.

Really good food. My steak is always done to my liking pleasant atmosphere. Recommend any time or special occasions their desserts are out of this world. read more

My wife and I spent several days in Valparaiso to both visit her sister and introduce me to the town where both of them went to college. I had always wanted to go there and am very happy to say that I totally enjoyed the visit. While there, we visited a lot of places and ate most meals out. Kelsey's Steak House was one of them. This was a pretty nice place. The dining rooms are large and roomy. We were seated at a table in a back room near the door to the outside dining area. Our server, Tyler, was very helpful and attentive. He had immediate answers to all of our menu questions. I ordered seafood bisque, sea bass with a crab topping, and a loaded baked potato. For dessert, I ordered the white chocolate covered white cake shaped like a cow. I don't remember what they called it. The seafood bisque was delicious. It had a lot of seafood chunks in it, although I couldn't tell you what they were. The flavor was rich with a hint of butter. The sea bass was a huge nicely cooked chunk. It was the biggest portion of sea bass I have ever been served. I liked the crab topping which was actually on the bottom. It had a strong crabby taste, but only small chunks of crab. The baked potato was my first loaded baked potato in a long while. I thought it was wonderful. The bacon on it was really smoky and piggy tasting. My wife had prime rib- the main reason for our coming to this venue. She really enjoyed it. Her soup choice was french onion, which she said was really good. It was served with little blue scissors to cut the cheese, which, of course, prompted me to say, "I guess we'll know who cuts the cheese!" The cake was amazing. I can't believe I didn't take a picture. It was shaped like a cow resting on its side. Mine was encased in a white chocolate shell. My wife's was in regular chocolate. Neither of us could eat the whole thing and ended up bringing a lot home. The white cake was so moist and delicious that the white shell was almost overkill. But, it didn't kill me, and I ate every bit. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. I don't remember any music. I was too busy watching the servers hustle and bustle around the place. I would definitely come back. The prices were on par with most San Antonio restaurants. There were some more expensive items on the menu, but I think you could get out of there for about $40 a person, if you went light on the cocktails (we didn't) and split a dessert. That cow cake was enough for 4 to share! read more

Food is always the best and prepared according your request. Service is always prompt and professional. Ambiance is quiet and feels like a home meal. read more

First time at Kelsey's Steakhouse and we are in love! Our server, Linda, was excellent and took care of us with great finesse. The food was outstanding! We started by sharing the Lobster Cargo. Think the buttery richness of escargot but substitute lobster for the meat. And then cover it with a layer of broiled Havarti cheese. It was outstanding! I had French onion soup, which was delicious and my husband had a salad with blue cheese dressing. Really nice! Our main dishes were the black and blue ribeye for him and filet mignon for her. I added a side shrimp skewer. Everything was cooked to perfection over their charcoal grill. We were really impressed! We will be back in a heartbeat! Our experience here was nothing less than delightful! read more

Very disappointed. Ordered the porterhouse which was a special. Knew I would have a problem when I couldn't cut into the filet side. When I tried the strip side I couldn't chew it and had to spit it out. An older gentleman asked me how everything was and I told him I was very disappointed and he said sorry to hear that and never saw him again. WILL NOT BE RETURNING read more

Outstanding dinner tonight. Cocktails, Bruschetta, Salad with Blu Cheese dressing. Hubby had filet medallions, red potatoes and an add on lake perch. I got my all time favorite. Bone-in ribeye and a baked potato. Linda was our waitress who was extremely attentive. We sat at a table near the windows. I'm on oxygen and I didn't feel cramped or in the way. Cheese cake and your signature Howie came home for dessert. Thank you again for a wonderful evening. Ted and Linda Truby read more

The sirloin surprised me with how tender and juicy it was. I usually go for fattier cuts but this one was super flavorful on its own. It came with a house salad and baked potato, and both were done right. Service was fast and friendly, and our server had good energy. The place has kind of a rustic charm which I enjoyed. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. A great value for the quality. read more

I had the so called $32 filet mignon special and I got two small chunks of burned meat! It was awful. The waitress was great but the food awful. I definitely won't go back. read more

Nice steak place! Very good steak and service. Our filets were cooked to perfection and saw the manager come by and ask if everything tasted ok. The house salad is pretty plain and I asked for cracked pepper and they didn't have any which I thought was odd. Wishing the ambiance was a bit nicer here but it's more casual dining. The French onion soup is really good and they give you little scissors to cut the cheese. Overall a good place to have a nice steak dinner! read more

Mid. Everything was mediocre. Food was good, service was good, environment was good, but nothing stood out.

The food has always been excellent each time we have gone. Prices are good and service is great. One of our favorite places to get a good steak. read more

We went for a Sunday dinner and the food was so good! (Ribeye, salad and baked potato, filet mignon, garlic mashed potatoes and potato soup). The steak was so tender even though I like no pink! Our waitress was extremely attentive! I can't wait to come back! read more

The steaks are always on point and the baked potatoes are light fluffy and fresh, no comparison. If you are a chocolate lover you must have the chocolate cow it is absolutely amazing, very rich and decadent in flavor, reminded me of a hostess ho ho on steroids. Our server was being ran like a dog but was awesome and we enjoyed his smile and friendly hospitality read more

steak was tender and cooked just right, super juicy with a rich, smoky flavor. the garlic butter on top made it even better. the sides were decent, but the mashed potatoes could've been creamier. service was nice but a little slow, though they were busy so i get it. the ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dinner. read more

To start, now that 90% of the population has been trained to use debit or credit cards, Kelseys, like others, are charging 4% extra for using one. They call it a 4% discount for cash. Bogus lie. The food isn't that good, and is grossly overpriced. Will not return read more

We stopped in later in the evening and were pleasantly surprised to have a wonderful meal with great service. The Monterey Steak Tips were done beautifully and plated in an attractive manner. Definitely recommend Kelsey's if you're in the area. read more

Very disappointed experience. Party of four with only one alcoholic drink was nearly $200. A local steakhouse in a former Shoneys/Dennys is overpriced. It had been several years since we were there. It will be never going back. Cuts of steak were grocery store grade. 3.5% surcharge for credit was an unexpected disappointment as well. Don't waste your money. Texas Roadhouse is a better steak and much more affordable. read more

Stumbled upon this place when I made a wrong turn ..what an amazing find...the wait staff goes above and beyond in care for the customer including the bussers... our server Cienna was sweet making sure everything was good. The food came out quickly and Hot I will say on Weekends make reservations because they get busy quickly read more

Went to a football game @ Notre Dame and didn't feel like driving home, so I grabbed a hotel room in Valparaiso, IN. Decided to stop at dinner at Kelsey's. Had never been there before but the parking lot was crowded and there was a huge cow statue outside so I figured it was a good place. I was right. Ordered a sangria, French onion soup, and the lake perch dinner with garlic mashed potatoes. Atmosphere was very pleasant. Food was great and priced right. Portions were a good size. Ana was a very attentive server. Highly recommend this place. read more

Prime rib will always be my favorite here. Kelsey's style with the shrimp skewer for the win every time. Good vibes and even better service.
