Catering experts! They have been doing it for over 25 years and have it down to a science. I have been to many events catered by Kelly's and have never been less than impressed.

I honestly believe this was the best wedding food we could ask for, our guests are still talking about it! Everything was delicious and the servers were outstanding and especially attentive to us. We really appreciate Kelly’s and Marianne making our day super special and for treating our whole group like family. Thank you! More...

Food was pretty good. Had coconut shrimp appetizer followed by fried seafood platter. Two of my scallops had the muscle still attached but other wise was good. Plenty of food , unable to finish all of it. Shared a chocolate mousse for dessert which was very rich. Our server was wonderful, very friendly and got the food out fast and hot. More...

This is a family run seafood restaurant that has been around for generations. As one of the first stapels to Nags Head, the decor and atmosphere bring about a feeling of history of the great area. This is fine dining so expect a little price to the meal, but the quality is impecable. At night, there is live music with lots of dancing. Great place to be! More...

"Best wedding food I've ever had" ....I can't tell you how many guests came up to us on Friday and told us that. Kelly's was a dream team to work with and helped us every step of the way create a menu our guests would enjoy and are still talking about after the wedding. It was a pleasure working with such a professional and friendly restaurant for our wedding. Get the shrimp and grits and the mac and cheese!! They boxed all of our leftover wedding food up and we got to enjoy all of our favorites again the next day. Top notch catering company and Kelly himself came to our wedding. Thank you for making our day so special! More...

We totally enjoyed this place. We were late on a Wednesday and the service by Ed was pleasant and accurate. The food was done just right. The Filet Oscar style and the Prime Rib were nicely done and very flavorful. Sweet Potato biscuits were worth the visit! We will definitely return to Kelly's! More...

The seared scallop appetizer was excellent, as was the crab soup. The seafood Norfolk was packed with large chunks of blue crab.

We always eat at Kelly's when we are at the outer banks. Always get Bouillabase and then the creme brulee. A glass of wine tops it off. Never disappoints!!

Kelly's catered our wedding three years ago. The food was so great we decided to make it a tradition to come back every year. Every year they deliver the best anniversary dinner. Service is great as always. Estela was our server tonight, she did a great job to make us feel welcomed. We also love the atmosphere here. More...

Best place to eat in the Outer Banks. Food was delicious and wait staff was excellent. We come back every year and are never disappointed. We had steak, crab, tuna and shrimp and everyone loved it. More...

The best of both worlds. Kelly's features a world-class, quiet dining experience that is completely separate from its "best on the beach" entertainment scene in it's tavern. You can definitely enjoy great food in a family friendly setting at the same time a party is taking place across the way, you won't hear it. More...

Service was great, as was the calamari & crab soup. Large room for large parties like us keeps us away from regular diners. Steaks were consistently a little overdone. More...
