    Baked beans
    Johnnie C.

    Service was quick and good. The atmosphere was decent and they had large screen TVs throughout the place and there were a lot of booths and tables and bar seating also. It was situated in the east area if the casino and the menu was so so, not much of a selection, but enough to get you started. They serve alcohol as well. We got the Kelsey salad, corn on the cob and baked beans. The salad was okay and the corn and beans were good. I would return if I was in the area.

    I absolutely loved Kelsey's. The service was top notch. I believe our server's name was Tito and he was amazing. I would definitely recommend the brussels sprouts and pork belly to start with and the mac & cheese as a side. Also, the Rocky Road dessert was to die for.!! this place turns into a little club after hours. It was so funny to walk by a couple hours later and see people dancing to it. DJ in the evening definitely give it a try.

    I had the best experience here! Highly recommend the cowboy ribeye for two with the cowboy butter. It was delicious. Also get the apple strudel for dessert it's so good. We had the best server Dylan, he was super awesome! I will definitely be back my next trip to Pechanga!

    Kelsey's is a sports bar inside of Pechanga Casino Resort. There are a lot of TVs at the bar as well as TVs on the walls inside the dining area. They have quite a selection of beers on tap, and quite a few bottles of liquor on display. If you are looking for more of a non-sports bar experience, they do have seating along the outside. This may or may not be quieter, depending on how busy it is inside and in the casino nearby. We have dined outside the bar a few times in the past and had a good experience. On this visit, we sat at the bar to have an appetizer and a cocktail. We visited around 8:30pm on a weeknight, and it was fairly slow and relatively quiet inside. For our appetizer, we ordered the fried pickles ($15). We usually prefer pickle chips, but theirs are fried pickle spears which had a good amount of batter. We let them cool off for quite a while, but we both burned our mouths biting into them initially. We let them cool off some more, and then finally enjoyed them. The serving size is ok, and it comes with regular and chipotle ranch dressing for dipping. I ordered the Desert Peach cocktail (Teremana blanco tequila, Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, peach, lime, $16). It had a good mix of peach flavor and heat, and was not boozy. I liked the thick Tajin rim. She ordered the Jungle Bird (Myer's dark rum, Campari, pineapple, agave, lime, $16). The bartender warned us that this was a bitter cocktail, but that was an understatement as it was extremely bitter. Maybe they go a little heavier on the Campari than usual, but I wouldn't recommend ordering this if you don't like bitter drinks. Service was ok. As slow as it was, we only saw our bartender a few times after ordering. We saw the bar helper a lot more frequently, and he kept our water filled up. Kelsey's is a good spot to grab casual food and drinks, especially if you want to watch sports.

    We went during the weekend of a previous UFC fight. We discovered that this restaurant was not allowed to play the UFC Fight. Good food. The old fashioned was very good. Nice spot to hangout and talk with friends.

    Whhaaaatttt, 5 stars you say?! Shut yo mouth. Well, Yes Kelseys Restaurant located In Pechanga Hotel & Casino. Now, if you haven't checked out Pechanga located in Temecula, you're truly missing out on a Southern California gem. I remember coming here over 25 years ago and it was no bigger than large gas station, pun intended. Now when you drive up and walk through it rivals mega resort Hotel & Casinos across the world, I.e. Las Vegas. Pechanga does cater rather well to any type of guest, and wallet size. Hence my wallet has been fat, and I've had a great time. My wallet has been lite, and I still had a great time. They offer everything you can think of, and next time I'll review the Hotel Rooms from the Resort Tower, to the Casino Tower. But this review is about the Restaurant, Kelsey's. Out of about 6 good choices to choose for dining, besides the food court, Kelsey's is a top pick for its easy menu, mainly American flare. The menu offers enough, but it's not a Cheesecake Factory. I have eaten here many a time, and enjoy a lot of what they offer, the ambience is nice , it's tucked into the corner of the casino, and they do offer a full bar inside. Service is always good, and they're usually never packed busy, just right. I was seated right away, and my server came over in about 1 minute. I ordered for the first time the Lobster Roll. It's a chilled Lobster roll, which is different for me but I gave it a shot. It was fantastic, I asked for a little melted butter on the side and it worked out great. Comes with big steak fries, very good dish before hitting the road after checking out. Can't wait to return, this always seems to be a go to at least once while I'm there. So yes. Does it lack something for everyone, maybe, is the price point a bit high for some, maybe. But overall they do what they do and they do it right. I enjoy Kelsey's. So , if you're ever in Temecula and haven't been to Pechanga, go spend an afternoon and check them out, you won't be disappointed.

    We were sat down quickly but boy the service was so slow, they sat 7 of us in the back of the bar. And our drinks were at the bar but we waited and waited for them crawl to our table It didn't happen for a long time!! We all were tempted to get up and get them our self's But finally another server came out and brought them to the table but my Ice tea wasn't there so I waited a bit for my beverage Then I received my ice tea I ask we ready to order Now he was so nice and we order 2 pizza's for the table and some appts. Sorry I didn't take more picture's. I was hungry a long day and no really breakfast

    Been here a couple times. Hour wait for dining, but we sat at the bar. Service was good. Beer was cold. Food was delicious. I like their atmosphere and ambiance. They have several TV's playing sports. I will come back here.

    We wanted something yummy to try in the casino on Christmas Day and the host at check in recommended this spot. The food was amazing and great portions. Cesar salad, classic can't go wrong with that. Wagyu hamburger comes with steak fries. According to the server we couldn't sub for any other sides offered on the menu. Just fries. (Isn't that weird) Brisket sandwich was really good and every bite was enjoyable. Again, also can get just fries. My son got the kids tenders and cheese pizza. 4 tenders. Lots of fries. Pizza was a decent big size. Had I known I would've opted out. It was so much food but we managed to devour it all. 2 stars why? Well our server Yesenia was absolutely horrible. She saw me and my cousin and son and gave us below the bare minimum service. Maybe because we looked young? Only came to our table once, that was to ask if I needed more Diet Coke towards the end of my meal as my glass was already empty. I asked for the check and due to her lag of coming to our table I immediately just gave her my card. She then asked if I needed to see the tab? I responded no it's ok. She continued to open the book and show me the cost. I smiled and said that's ok. Didn't get a merry Christmas from her or anything. I get it working on any holiday sucks! But still we went to pay for a service and we did not get that here. Hosts also went to seat us but then realized the table was taken already so she sat us in the next closest table that was open. Next time I will just place an order to go and eat in the room. Very disappointed having this be a restaurant in the casino rated #1. I wish no one experiences what my family did.

    A nice, casual spot to grab a beer, a good meal and a game. Although they do have a huge private table available, if you need a more social space. The restaurant's vibe is warm and casual. We sat in a table in the open but there are some softer, more private booth seating available. We had the fried pickles which were wedges and not slices as we expected. The Margherita pizza was simple with a thinner crust and the Reuben was good, although it had the be re-made. The service was a little slow and not as friendly as other venues in the resort but still a good spot for an easy meal.

    Short ribs in bourbon sauce

    Kelsey's is expensive but for a NFL game watching, aside from the Great Oak Steakhouse, which is also superb, Kelsey's is my go to place for good quality food close to home to watch a game. I also won $700 playing slots which paid for my meal. $16 for the salad and $38 for the short ribs. The slow cooked short ribs with bourbon sauce served on a bed of polenta. They were tender and amazing!

    French dip

    We tried to go to another restaurant in the casino but the wait was too long so we randomly ended up at Kelsey's. The sports bar was more chill than others I've been to and I appreciated that. As is often the case, I couldn't resist the pull of the French dip sandwich. Although I skip the carmelized onions and sauteed mushrooms, I didn't feel like the sandwich was lacking in any way with the gooey provolone cheese and au jus dip. The waffle cut seasoned fries were a nice touch too.

Funny the reason we chose this spot was because the food looked so good on yelp. Once we got our food I knew he wasn't lying. I got the Cuban and my friend got the Cesar wrap, both were great. We sat outside to enjoy the weather on the spacious patio. We never had to get up for a thing. We were well taken care of, our beers refilled and plates cleaned up. I would love to come back and try more of the food.

My server made it such a pleasure to be here! He was so kind and so helpful! My reciept said Mike, so im thinking my server is Mike! I came here to try the apple turnover but decided to try that winning burger also. The rez! This burger had a lot going on but didn't taste "busy". The bun looks like a brioche bun, which i hate, but for some reason this burger bun was soft and buttery. It was pretty good. They had a pepper in it with a light aioli sauce. The patties, I should have asked for medium rare or more on the rare side. So my fault. The patty was pretty dry, but the burger still tastes fantastic. The sauce and everything that came with the burger made the burger as a whole taste juicy and filling! I was thoroughly pleased with my burger. What i really enjoyed were those addictive sweet potato fries. I ate half my portion! Thats far more than the 2 or 3 I usually have! I also got the chicken wings, mango pepper. It was flavorful and good enough. Wings will always just be wings to me. Either its good, or its bad. Now, finally, the apple turnover. Surprisingly, I loved the ice cream part the best. That was a really tasty vanilla bean ice cream scoop I got. I loved the flakiness of the pastry and the apple filling was subtle. I could always use more apples and a bit more cinnamon but with all that it came with I think it balanced out nicely. Overall, what I ordered and with the excellent service, I will be sure to come again. I greatly enjoyed my time here even if I was dining for one and with my dogs, but isn't that always the case for me? Im 90% of the time dining for one! This is why food and atmosphere should be excellent for the loner diners! Lol!
