    Breadsticks w/cheese & marinara sauce.
    Jeremy P.

    My wife and I are staying at the French Lick Villas and on the refrigerator was a magnet advertising this establishment. We decided to go for dinner on Sunday evening and at first we were seated inside. It was a bit stuffy inside and so we asked Ian, our waiter, if we could sit outside and keep him as our server. He said yes and we sat in their clean and comfortable outdoor seating area. Unsure of what to order, I asked Ian for a recommendation. He said their pizza was really good and we could get a 16" unlimited topping pizza with breadsticks for $31. Let me tell you, his recommendation was absolutely incredible. The pizza came out hot fresh more toppings than you could ask for and the breadsticks were just as good! This pizza for sure is one of the top five best pizzas I have had at a restaurant. If you get the chance and are in French lick for any amount of time, make sure you go to Kelley's and order the pizza! My wife and I both highly recommend!

    Freshly fried chicken, fried potatoes and fresh steamed broccoli with cheese sauce

    First time here. My waitress was very nice and helpful. She recommended the fried chicken. I'm glad I ordered it. It was definitely not precooked and reheated ! Freshly cooked and fresh tasting. Very happy with it. I ordered the fried potatoes and steamed broccoli with cheese sauce to go with it . The broccoli was cooked fresh and not frozen with a decent cheese sauce. The potatoes were good also. I will definitely be back to try something else. I drove 40 minutes to get here specifically and for no other reason than to try this place and I am glad I did.

    What can you say? They have the best ham and cheese sandwich in the tri-county area. Not too greasy but greasy enough for that buttery goodness. If you know, you know. Cold beer on draft.

    Horseshoe (burger on Texas Toast covered in fries, bacon, and cheese sauce)

    This is a neat little bar in the tiny town of Celestine. The food is pretty good and it looks like a fun place to have a drink after being out on the lake all day.

    Decent pizza

    Food was solid and the prices are good. The owner was waiting tables, answering phones, running food and cleaning tables. He's a no nonsense type of guy running a small town bar/restaurant. I had a personal chef salad that was huge and big enough for the 4 of us at the table. The pizza was highly recommended. It was meaty, but not cheesy and the crust was just ok. I think it is fine to eat while hanging with friends ca while drinking, but I would t call it in for take out. The alcohol and all food was affordable, so solid 4 stars. We also had the torpedo shrimp which was a fried shrimp dish which was a generous portion for the price.

    The horseshoe!!!

    My wife and I were taking the scenic route back from a weekend of camping at Lincoln state park and decided to stop at Kelley's on our way through. We enjoy hitting local fare when we travel, and we were very much rewarded on this stop. Our first impression was that this was a nice well kept local pub and eatery, but when we walked in and saw the size of the place we were impressed. The whole place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the menu had a lot of variety. I ordered the horseshoe. Basically it was an open face hamburger covered in fries, covered in cheese sauce, covered in bacon and some seasonings. OMG, I couldn't have asked for more!! It was amazing. I ate the whole thing with the exception of a small handful of fries. I hope to make a tradition of stopping here whenever we travel to Lincoln or Holiday world, or even Patoka lake, it's close enough to make the trip totally worth it.

    Cheese Omelette and Sausage Link with a side of salsa

    We stopped in for breakfast with good friends who live nearby. They serve breakfast Monday through Saturday. Their full menu is varied and includes lots of standard bar fare. Service is good, fast and friendly, and the food for the price was really good! I highly recommend the German potatoes. Sausage links are only available at breakfast on Saturdays - and after trying one, I understand why...they are very tasty and a special treat. Restrooms are immaculate... really can't say enough good things about Kelley's. We would come back any time!
