Honestly, this soul food I've ever had or at least very close to my wife's grandmother's cooking. As we arrive, the parking lot is full. The tables are full coming in you go in and you order your main and choose your sides right there. Between all this, we have beans, collard greens, yams, mac & cheese, potato salad. We all had fried chicken, which was so flavorful. Like I said, everything is good. And then The water cornbread was something totally different and enjoyable. Service was so friendly and an example of true Southern hospitality I believe a lady that really stood up. Her name was Starla, so kind so sweet. Oh and the Sweet Tea

We discovered them about 8 months ago while traveling through, needing some less processed options than typical eatout food, and tried it. Sooo glad we did! So now that we're in the area again we knew this is where we wanted to go. We even ordered extra meals to take with us for tomorrow! Ignore the lower star reviews bc they have nothing to do with quality (and no, the food is not bland)! If you want fancy highly processed and over seasoned gut burning food, don't go here - go to an impersonal restaurant serving commercial processed foods. Mother Kelley's is true homestyle flavors, meaning it's not fancy but it's home cooked comfort food (real ingredients) like my grandmother's was (mid 20th century); you'll love it!

The young lady that helped us was very nice and answered all of our questions and the actual style and layout of the restaurant is very rustic, very quaint, very modern, but friendly and family oriented.

The staff was very welcoming and playful with us when we entered. It reminded me of a small cafe in my hometown and the atmosphere was the same! My parents both had sandwiches, the roast beef and the Philly cheesesteak. My kids had the mini corn dogs and chicken nuggets. My kids are very picky eaters but both cleaned their plates! I intended to try the shrimp poboy, but the burger caught my eye. So I had the cheeseburger and added bacon. My parents and I got gravy and let me tell you it was the awesome! We enjoyed the sandwiches so much that we ordered 3 shrimp poboy's to take home and they were just as good as if we ate them in the restaurant. And before leaving, we all got some of the homemade ice cream.. so good!! Next time we're passing through or in town, we will be stopping here!!! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!

I ordered the 8 piece jumbo shrimp combo, I asked the employee to toss my shrimp in their lemon pepper hot sauce ( if you order online you don't get the option of adding their sauces to anything but the wings). I also ask for garlic Parmesan on my fries. SO GOOD!!! My husband got the 15 piece boneless wings, they were out of the bone-in. I originally ordered the grim reaper sauce for him but when he got there the food wasn't quite done yet and they let him sample some hotter sauces, so he was able to change the original order. He also got a large Cajun fry. So far the food has been really good. I've never had a tossed shrimp before and decided, what the hell? I think I found a new favorite place. Next time I want to try the fried fish tossed in a sauce. Oh and the shrimp truly are JUMBO!!! The price wasn't bad either considering all the extra charges for the sauces and seasoning, $36. The gentleman working the counter was really nice and helpful. Gotta love good employees!!!
