Ms. Nancy is awesome. My daughter and I met her during this first visit. Me. Nancy is very knowledgeable about food and health. She has also gone through great lengths to study her craft. I admire that. The staff treated us so well. We were given samples of drinks to try, too. We fell for the watermelon lemonade. (It’s a summer drink that hasn’t yet hit the menu). And I should’ve said this first, but the food is AWESOME! Ms. Nancy’s hot sauce is BOMB. My picky eater, 7 year old daughter loved her food too. She’s already planning for us to go back. To get an idea of what we had: fried chicken, fries, green beans, potato salad, mac & cheese, red velvet cake, and chocolate mousse cake. Needless to say, we left FULL. We took our dessert to go and had a great time reliving our visit at home. Ok, this review is long enough. If you’re thinking about visiting this place, don’t think twice. Go!

The restaurant is like home. Comfortable and not overly decorated. Now the food is another thing. Probably the best fried chicken in the area hands down . The corn muffins straight from moms kitchen the best and the Mac and cheese just makes you know the place is legit.

Went to Kelsey's for their $19.99 all you can eat soul food brunch and it was simply AMAZING! There was nothing in their extensive brunch buffet that was not 5 star flavorful. Fried chicken, made to order fried whiting and red velvet waffles are a MUST. Thank you Kelsey's for a seamless introduction to shrimp and grits, I will no longer shy away from the dish.
