Kelsey’s Restaurant, Irish Pub & Banquet Room in Ellicott City, MD: A Flavorful American Dining Experience

Had not been at Kelsey's for over a year. Stopped by planning to order Shepherd's Pie. Got sidetracked when they had Jambalaya on the menu for Mardi Gras - Fat Tuesday. Was skeptical but got the Jambalaya. Delicious. Portion was huge and took half of it home. Now I have to go back to the Shepherd's Pie I originally went for!

What a fun place to be, lively atmosphere, family friendly, and drinker's welcome, especially like the separation between bar area and dinner section. Service was great. Drinks are wonderful. They have a good selection of mock tails, outside of the even better selections of alcoholic drinks. Food- it depends: Wagyu burger-juicy, delicious, mouthwatering. French onion soup- too salty, cheese was tasty Chicken potpie- good portion and delicious Steak bites- hard to chew, don't recommend Corn beef and cabbage- delicious So take your pick Our overall experience was satisfactory and do recommend this place. With St, Patrick's Day is around the corner, check out the events they will be hosting.

Good food, Great local football fans! We love coming here for Ravens and Commanders NFL games! Fun fans, just a little rowdy :-). It can get crowded for big games. We usually get the generous tender flavorful corned beef, and now and then the tasty bangers and mash, crispy chicken pot-pie, rich seafood pasta, or remarkable London broil. Good salads, too. Plenty of beers to choose from. Well-placed TVs. Strong Bloody's, cold Guinness!

I love this spot. They do Santa brunches too and it is hands down my favorite Santa brunch. They have a private room that you can request and it fits a great deal of people. The food is good and they have a great drink selection. It is a big space and very kid friendly.

We've been coming to Kelsey's for several years now. Favorite place for company dinners, too. Good and service are both great and the atmosphere in the dining area is relaxed and mostly quiet, which is great for calm conversions. Nice spot for date nights too! The ribeye is my wife's favorite. I have average favorite myself, including the corned beef poppers, corn & crab chowder, many of the sandwiches and burgers, and even the salads. Highly recommended.

Had a great first visit to Kelsey's for an early 'happy hour dinner. We started with 1/2 dozen Bluepoint raw oysters which were pretty good for this early in the season. They did a good job of opening them without losing the 'liqueur'. We had the steak and cake, stuffed flounder, burger and fries and various drinks (including a coupe Irish coffee at the end-made with real fresh whipped cream). The steak was very tender and cooked to requested temp, the Demi glacé sauce was delicious and the crab cake, I'm guessing at 6 ounces was very good with very little filler. Flounder and burger were also very good. Service was prompt despite it being a busy HH with a Ravens game on to distract everyone. All the food was delicious and we did not leave hungry. The ambiance was nice....obviously everyone in a charged mood for the game. We will be back soon

Great food and great service. Have been here in minute. Arrived for dinner around 7 pm on a weekday. Parking lot had a few cars in it. Not many people so no wait to be seated. Appeared to be most of the people were in the bar area watching the NHL playoffs. Waitress was very friendly and immediate took my drink order. I just wanted to Guinness blonde. I had heard that the meatloaf was good here so I decided to order it for my main course. The food came out pretty quickly. It had a great flavor. It was made with a combination of beef, veal, and pork. It was wrapped in bacon as well for a little something extra. It came with string beans, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Everything tasted delicious. Price wasn't bad with most menus items running around 20 per person. It was so good I just dug right in without a picture. I will definitely be back for the meatloaf again and will post the photo then. The service was great and the waitress checked on me frequently.

First time here Amazing experience!! Food was AMAZING corn beef poppers were insane!! Meatloaf and corn beef and cabbage will drive u crazy!!!! I LOVE CORN BEEF!! Sat at bar and Tim i believe waited on us great individual!! Will be taking the trip back soon!!!!!

Was traveling and randomly stopped here. Bar was packed seated in dining room and was quiet and comfortable. Good drinks. We chose appetizers for our dinners. I had the Mussels cooked in Guinness bacon cream sauce. Light & flavorful &wonderful. Paired this with the Brussels sprouts- cooked with a bacon jelly. Crispy, not soggy, not overly sweet. I would say perfect! My husband chose - the garlic parm wings- we have had a ton of wings in many places and hubby said these were underwhelming. ( a bit greasy) He saw many burgers coming out snd said I should.have had one of them. He also tried the Irish eggrolls- a corned beef meal in a egg roll! If you are in the area , give them a try.
