Popular local fish house conveniently located on US74. Parking can be a little tight when busy…read more Orders are taken immediately after entering, using a large menu board behind the hostess's stand. There is little time to consider the choices when busy, and locals who know what they want proceed quickly, first timers may end up rushing their order and choose poorly. Payment is taken at a separate counter, and tips are solicited before you have received your food. Avoid choosing a table near the exit as it can be drafty and has lots of foot traffic. Drink cups are provided for self serv beverages. Food is delivered hot and fresh from the kitchen. There is a large variety of primarily fried seafood choices, with mostly fries and slaw for sides; baked potatoes don't seem to be offered. Entrees are offered in small and large sizes, and portions are large, with mounds of fish, fries and hush puppies on each plate. The dining area can be crowded and noisy, especially when returning for refills to the busy drink dispensers. If you need a to-go box, you will find them there. Overall, this bustling restaurant offers large portions in return for minimum service. Entrees are in the $15 -$20 range despite the do-it-yourself nature of the dining room. If you want table service this is not your place!

Old style Fish Camp Restaurant! I grew up with 3 main Fish Camp Restaurants in Shelby (Beatty's…read moreFish Camp, Shelby Fish Camp, and Kelly's) but now Kelly's is the only main one left. They are family owned and cater to Cleveland County families and more (surrounding areas). It's a great place to take the family. Kelly's is child friendly and even has a children's menu. They also have a Seniors menu. They only have fried food though. No baked seafood nor baked potatoes. I would love to see broiled entree's and wouldn't mind paying a little over the fried food prices. As long as it wasn't doubled! LOL! So try them out. You'll love the results! :-) Their slaw is so scrumptious and their hush puppies are to die for. They also have fried pickles and fried chicken. Which my husband loves. But he also loves their fish! Cleveland County is known for their BBQ (Red Bridges BBQ and Alston's (Bridges BBQ) but our Seafood is made just as famous by Kelly's Seafood.

Shelby, NC. Where do I begin. I've been traveling through this town for many years as it was always…read morea travel connector to both sets of grandparents who lived in Forest City as I was growing up. Never ever considered stopping for food here because getting through the city on 74 is tough enough as time seems to stand still here because no one, and I mean no one is moving quickly here. As the current situation is Shelby is now the half way point from my our home to where my daughter and grandson moved 1 1/2 hours away. Tuesday night we made the trek to pick up the grand for a sleep over, meeting half way at The Creekside Clock for dinner. In the entry way there is a sign stating that food is made to order so please be patient. OK. We got plenty of patience. Walk up to the counter and place your order, HUH??? Can I take a look at a menu? Sure, put on your glasses and read from the menu board. Sorry! I wasn't prepared for that. Menu looks great. There is a lot of variety and daily specials. We placed 3 separate orders, probably the first mistake as we were all sitting together, just not paying together. I am not a fan of paying before you get your food. Tip? What am I tipping? We sit with our little numbers on sticks at our table and a waitress comes to review our tickets and bring our drinks. So far so good. Ok now we wait. I can see the kitchen window and there are 6 heads in view and they appear to be super busy prepping and getting out the food. Apparently that wasn't the case. First order arrives, baked potato and chicken sandwich looks yum! A side salad was also delivered. A good bit later my meatloaf and fiancé's combination seafood plate and the grands shrimp. All looks good, alas, there is nothing on my plate that is even warm. I Asked if they had a microwave they could reheat my plate, it was that cold. Found out also that the chick sandwich and potato that was delivered first was not warm either. Still waiting on a steak and steak tips at this point everyone else was pretty much done with their food. The steak was good, again the potato cold. I am really shocked by all of the good Google reviews for this place. Although the menu looks nice. For them to boast that food is made to order, and not even serve the food warm along with the horrible execution, this was a one and done for us!

Baked potato was done to a turn. Butter and sour cream was on table in abundance and convenience! Shrimp was cooked perfectly. Beautiful light golden brown! Best I have had in years. I ordered a small and got 9 butterflied shrimp! Everything appears clean and cared for with the exception of the entrance doors which need replacement and are well weathered. One other observation. The sign next to the entrance is not designed well. It is hard to see and is camouflaged into the background vegetation. A more modern sign with some "pop" may draw attention to this restaurant and German architecture!

Service was prompt and was consistent throughout the meal. Drinks were delivered quickly with hush puppies, which were excellent! Didn't have to wait long for main meal. My wife had flounder and sweet potato, which she liked very much and they had brown sugar for her sweet potato! She really appreciated that because most places do not have brown sugar. My meal was excellent! I had fantail shrimp, although they were actually butterflied shrimp, and they were prepared great. Soft, tender and cooked to a perfect gold color. Best I have had in a long time. Baked potato was cooked well and I like that the butter and sour cream is in a basket on the table so you don't have to beg waiter for more! I'll be back!

My husband was craving Italian so we came to Bella Verona. It's a cute little restaurant with…read moretypical Italian and Greek decor. We were seated right away and our waitress, Jennifer, got our drink order as soon as we sat down. Jennifer asked if we wanted garlic butter on our basket of breadsticks and of course we said, "Yes, please!" I ordered the Bella Verona Sampler which comes with mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, stuffed jalapeños, onion rings and chicken fingers. My husband ordered the Meat Ravioli with meat sauce and it came with a salad. We ate the garlic buttered breadsticks and salad before I even thought to take a picture. They were that good! Haha. The sampler was amazing! They give you marinara for the mozzarella sticks and your choice of a dipping sauce for the chicken strips. I chose bbq sauce and it was really good. My husband ate half of the fried mushrooms and I ate the rest of the sampler plate! My husband also licked his plate of meat ravioli clean! Everything was delicious. We will definitely become regulars and try everything.

We went in today with my husband and son to have dinner…read more Ruby Tuesday is one of those well-known names but, at the same time, slightly forgotten. We were seated and were pleased that it was warm in the restaurant. Our server, Rebecca, greeted us. She was very sweet and offered suggestions from the menu. My son chose the T-bone steak, I ordered the New York strip, and my husband ordered the smokehouse burger. Thankfully, it didn't take too long for our drinks and food to arrive. My New York strip steak was pretty good, except I had ordered it medium, and it was closer to medium well. Honestly, that was what I found to be a slight bother. Rebecca was so sweet when I mentioned it and offered to get a new one, but the taste wasn't bad, so I kept it. My son's steak was also unevenly cooked; in some parts, it was medium, and in others, it was rarer. He had wanted medium-rare, but a T-bone steak can be a difficult meat to cook on certain grills, etc., if the heat source is uneven. On the other hand, my husband gobbled up his burger and fries, lol. So that was a plus.. We ordered dessert as well. I shared a chocolate cake with my husband, and our son ordered carrot cake. The cake was good, but we had already expected it to be truly decadent, which it was. My son enjoyed his carrot cake very much. Thank you to whoever maintains the salad bar because it was clean, and the freshness of everything was truly welcomed..

Please be away if you go to this establishment they don't care about you or about the neighborhood that they are in.
