Don't eat here. Makes you sick. Got simple breakfast. Greasy and not a home cooked family restaurant meal. MAGA as well.

Adorable cafe with very friendly service and excellent food! I'm so pleased with the meal my hubby and I got, we will absolutely be back!

Best place for breakfast. Local joint with large portions and very good service. Small family owned business. read more

The food was phenomenal. The staff were friendly, service was top notch. The only thing that wasn't there for me was the atmosphere. I'm fine with the owners political views. I'm left nor right, but politics are irrelevant when it comes to breakfast. I don't go to a breakfast joint for a lesson in politics. I go to breakfast for breakfast. I work in construction, I'm accustomed to political incorrectness. But leave that stuff for your tacky bumper stickers or signs outside your single wide. Just like I don't want to go to a diner peddling liberal politics with their waffles, I don't want to go to one making their eggs Benedict great again. The owner is allowed to whatever political views they want, and can display them any way they choose. Unfortunately, as good as the food and service was, I won't be returning here again. I like a separation in my food and politics. Bummer read more

Great fast and friendly service. (I believe server was named Sierra). Food was fantastic and came quickly. Best chicken fried steak I've ever had and I've had many. Perfectly crispy hash browns and yummy biscuit. The "whole" chicken fried steak is two pieces so go for the half unless you are sharing or wanting leftovers. read more

Eatable breakfast but very greasy and bacon was burnt. Service was okay but I guess you need to be a regular. Strictly take the order and here's your bill. No "Hi how are ya doing today? " Just nothing. We aren't rude or gross and were surprised by the reception. Felt like we were intruding. They're in our area and we thought they might be a good option besides Denny's but we won't go back. Granted this was a couple years back but you know what? Denny's has some REALLY good dishes!! Hope they've changed! we don't recommend them to our friends for sure. read more

Do you like throw back places to eat where all the locals go and the staff k owes them all by first name? Well, this is the place. Great food that hits the spot and there is plenty of it. The service is great and attentive. If you want great food, great service and love seeing pictures of old cars that bring back childhood memories then please visit Kelley's and have a great meal. read more

Orders breakfast to go while heading to a youth sporting event. Served raw eggs in a minced ham scramble. Basically cooked one side then flipped the uncooked side over a bed of unseasoned hash-browns. Ended up eating part of my husband bland chicken fried steak that was paired with overcooked eggs. read more

Sometimes in our travels we find a place we wish we could go to over and over again. Kelley's is one of those places! Service, food, prices and vibe were all over the top amazing! Please don't let the outside fool you, the inside is where all the magic is! From the very beginning it was obvious they are true and authentic! The lone server was busy with other customers so we were greeted by the cook! He was so friendly and inviting, told us to grab a seat and they'd bring us waters, menus were at the table. Giant menus!! Our server came in and was just as friendly and inviting as the cook! We felt at home right away, like we'd been there 100 times! Food was fantastic! I had the seafood platter and it was piled high with vein clogging goodness! The shrimp was the best part, these cute little crunchy, puffy morsels of heaven!! Hubby's chicken fried steak was humongous and he said it was the best he's ever had! We got strawberry shortcake to go and it was perfect later, sitting around the camp fire! I highly recommend Kelley's and know for a fact we'll be back! Hard to find a diner like this anymore! read more

I've been coming here for years. Great service, the owners are awesome, and the food is great!

The staff were friendly, and the food was pretty good - definitely a hometown diner style, nothing fancy, but still flavorful and filling. Just a word of forewarning though, the inside is quite aggressively decked floor to ceiling in political (pro-Trump) decorations - hats, shirts, signs, posters, even the salt shakers were hand labeled with political statements and FUs. Not quite the right environment for me in an eatery, but to each their own - again, the food was still good so for that aspect I'd recommend it. read more

Went for Breakfast hash browns over cooked and greasy. Trump town signs everywhere. I wish it was still Dairy Dell!

So we wanted to go find a breakfast place that wasn't some big chain restaurant. Saw Kelly, we thought we'd give it a try. Immediately felt like an old-school trucker diner, and my mouth started watering immediately. It smelled like breakfast, and filled with the happy clinking of silverware and the murmur of conversation. Great ambiance. The poor waitress was swamped, there were a lot of people there and a pretty short staff, which seems to be pretty common these days. Can't hold that against them. She was prompt with the order taking, and the food came out in a very reasonable time. Unfortunately, the food left a little bit to be desired. I ordered corn, beef hash, thinking it would be like, I don't know, corn, beef, hash, and instead, it was store-bought hashbrowns with chopped corned beef sandwich meat in it. Was not the delicious dish perfected in a hundred other diners. My wife had a ham and cheese omelette which could be described as mediocre at best. I guess the worst part about the whole experience was when we were at the cashiers station to pay the bill, and I watched the cook rub his nose with his left hand, then reach over into a metal container and grab a handful of frozen hashbrowns, and then dribble them under the grill. he finished that task by wiping his hands on his dirty pants. That was pretty gross, not gonna lie probably will not be back there again. Two stars for ambience and waitresses. read more

I don't think they should legally be allowed to call this food. This is made worse by the fact that there are several cafes nearby that serve actual meals. read more

This place feels like its stuck in time and im okay with that! I am not a conservative but this place is and if politics dont effect the way you dine then come try it!!! Portions are great, the price you pay is the quality you expect, DO NOT EXPECT TO EAT HEALTHY HERE THIS IS A PLACE FOR A HEARTY MEAL, home fries are just bomb! The people are nice and welcoming no matter who you are (im not white, since some complained on yelp) If them posting conservative signs makes you feel uncomfortable then you dont understand the rights of individual freedoms read more

We were bringing a special breakfast to family in the area & called an order in when we reached the outskirts of Olympia. It was ready shortly after we pulled up - having to wait only an additional 5 mins. The food was well packaged in to go containers. We had a great conversation with the cook (whose also one of the owners) since it was still early but the waitress pulled up to take my payment. We drive to our destination and had a wonderful filling breakfast. The portions were gigantic, the garbage omelet was flavorful, the gravy of the SOS was spot on. Would highly recommend ordering from this cafe. read more

On r way up to Ohop Lake to visit friends. Saw this place to eat and stopped in! Cute place and closed in half hr... Sunday.

Delicious, greasy breakfast. Service is always so friendly. It's definitely a diner of the 80's feel.

Not fancy but food was great. We were flew in from California and on the way back from a wedding in Mt Rainer we stopped in for breakfast. Service was nice and quick. The breakfast was delicious and portions huge. Contrary to what we read in other reviews there was nothing that made us feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. read more

I'm not gonna lie I had mixed emotions when we pulled up. But that was some of the best food I've had in a long time! Great food customer service was on point and the prices were great! If we are ever in the area again we will stop! read more

Grew up going here every weekend with my grandma Fran and grandpa Walt. I've been here twice since grandma passed away and it's still just as amazing as I remember growing up. Food portions are huge and taste amazing. Best chicken fried steak in Washington even though I admit my favorite thing to get has always been the chicken strip basket with old fashioned fries and the hot chocolate! I will continue to come back and now that my sons old enough he will eat here too. The staff treat you like family and greet you by name. Times are rough but it's worth saving every penny for! This is my happy spot that I go too when I need to feel close to my grandparents, and I want to make it my sons safe and happy spot too. read more

If you're looking for a place that could be featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, you found the right place. Kelley's is NOT your IHOP and Denny's. The food has flavor and the place has character. To be fair, it's greasy af behind that counter, but somehow the dining room stays relatively clean and not greasy. However, they aren't doing a damn thing fancy here at Kelley's and it feels like you're eating in your friend's kitchen, he might not be the tidiest cook, but he makes a mean omelet! My wife had the Western Omelet and it was loaded with veggies, ham, and cheese, it looked pretty delicious, but had too many veggies for my tastes, I like a simple omelet! Anyway, she said it was delicious and really enjoyed the seasoning on the potatoes! It was refreshing to order home fries and have them come with seasoning salt, garlic, and pepper on them. Delicious! I had the best chicken fried steak that I've had so far in the PNW, and they really did it right! Perfectly breaded, cooked medium, but not dried out, and the gravy was well seasoned and flavorful. They only lose a star because several of the dishes had chips in them. There comes a point when not caring about being fancy stops loses its character, they should really replace broken and chipped dishes. It's about food safety. Still, a delicious breakfast! Check them out! read more

Kelley's Kafe - Huge portions. I had Chicken Fried Steak. Mister had the SOS (made with ground beef) over toast instead of potatoes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spanaway, Washington

First of all, it's Kelly's Kafe, both with K's. Ate here on our way to Paradise (Mount Rainier) with a familythat we're friends with. Went with my gut and decided that was the place to eat. Definitely got a taste of "real America", something us city slickers are unfamiliar with. Food was unbelievably good, mother thoroughly enjoyed her homemade veggie beef soup, I loved my french toast, portions on the omelettes were gigantic, while the omelettes were stuffed and delicous. Tons and tons of free refills on our beverages, and our waiter even volunteered to take a photograph of our group for us. Couldn't ask for a better experience. If you're in the area, stop at Kelly's. You won't regret it. read more

It was a cute hole in the wall place until I walked in and felt immediately unwelcomed. They have TRUMP 2020 signs everywhere and being a person of color walking into that place made me feel not welcomed. I go to a place to enjoy my food, not to see political things plastered on the front counter upon entry. My aunt, uncle and I sat in the back corner away from people, but we still got looks from those around us since we were the only colored people in the cafe. On top of it, we were neglected numerous times by staff but yet they could round on the other tables that had people at it. They never checked on us, and we had to go up to the counter just to get our check and boxes. There was only one friendly staff there and the rest came off rude and bitchy. Definitely never coming here again. There plates are big I'm not gonna lie, but their service is horrible. If I could give them a negative review I would. read more

Such an unassuming place. Went here with my husband and our children. Local diners are a like a rite of passage when we move to a new town. We love this place. Walked in, wasn't too crowded, sat ourselves and it just felt comfortable, like we walked into somewhere we'd been our whole lives. They quickly put our orders in and while we waited my kids devoured the hot chocolate w/ mountains of whipped cream. Waited for our food for what seemed like awhile but there are 5 of us so its expected but it was worth the wait; exceeded our expectation in portion and flavor. The omelets are to die for and large enough to be a meal in itself. Love they support our President and love this country with no apologies! More of that Patriotism is needed these days. We will definitely be back, SOON and OFTEN!! read more

Do not let the look of the building fool you! This place is a gem. The food was delicious and the service was quick! The 2 guys working were friendly and fun to visit with. We stopped in for breakfast; it was home cooking at its best! Don't miss out on this hole in the wall!! read more

While their pictures on yelp look great and their portions seem on point, environment is not POC gay friendly. My partner and I walked in and all the patrons gave us a snarling look. Then I saw a trump sign right at the register and it was a wrap. We ended up not even ordering and the kitchen cleanliness was not up to par. This is masked segregation at its finest. We are posting to ask the owner to work on inclusive tactics to make their business open to everyone. read more

Walking into and sitting down at Kelley's, feels like coming home for the holidays and your aunt and cousins are cooking for you. Is there a better feeling in the world? Good food, great no-nonsense atmosphere. Pictures of hot rods cover the walls, and it's not uncommon to drive past here and see a few parked out front. They have an overabundance of coloring books and other things to keep the kiddos busy. The outside decor, and with quality food like they're serving they don't need the fancy exterior. Those in the know, know. read more

Great discovery near PLU! Big portions and quick service! One of the best chicken fried steaks I've had in Washington. Super friendly and reasonable prices! We will be back! read more

I am giving this place top marks. It was like eating breakfast at Grandmas house. Started out right from the start. I asked for Ice tea and they brought me a pitcher! Strong tea like it should be. Not that watered down stuff you get at most places. Then had Chicken fried steak and hash browns. They give you 2 nice size pieces cooked to perfection. Withplenty of gravy. And the hashbrowns are absolutely made correctly. Everything was hot and fast. The custmer service was excellent. I am just wondering why and the hell I have never been before. I will be making them a regular breakfast stop. Plus I have yo go back and try their lunch or dinner. They do Clam chowder on Friday's. read more

It definitely feels very country. Food was good very homemade. I won't be going back due to the culture and vibe of the restaurant. Hard to explain but the place made me feel uneasy. It wasn't the staff at all they were nothing but kind. It was more the patrons who seemed to be really frequent visitors that were off putting. read more

Kelley's Kafe - Walls are filled with tons of classic cars. Pretty cool. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spanaway, Washington

You MUST eat here! The food is delicious; the people will become family; the decor is fun to look at (old, classic cars and trucks of former patrons and bobble heads); and your wallet will be barely lightened. My family of 6 eats for barely over $30...That is unheard of in this day and age. The food is DELICIOUS... not in the slightest bit healthy, but who goes to a diner for health food?!‍. Cindy and Becky and their family (the Kelleys-this the name) are just good ole fashioned GOOD people. No pretense, no falseness. Just genuine people with good hearts, good food, and good customer service. We walk in to hang out with "family." Often, we even share the table with another patron or family of patrons....Take a trip back to the 50s in personality, fill your belly to the brim, and leave with your wallet none the wiser! read more

Okay so this place is not a 5 star restaurant, and honestly it's not immaculately clean, and the untensils , plates , chairs and tables are worn out , just like the owners that have been serving up piping hot delicious huge meals for years , where hot Rods met up , where they know all there customers by name , a place , when you pass away your obituary goes on the wall next to your picture and they name your favorite meal after you, seriously a great place to have a conversation and feel like part of a community, the people that say because they have a trump banner , makes them not want to go there again need to get over themselves, full disclosure, I will be a 2 x Trump Voter , but I've dealt with presidents I didn't vote for , we all have , the crazy thing is we are all or should be on team America , this place is an old school , read the Bible , go to church , say your prayers conservative American diner and if you don't like it don't come back , don't leave a negative review and say they are racist , remember when you point a finger there are 3 pointing strait back at you , seriously pick on someone else , these guys are just trying to make a living and make their community better in the Process , ps if you've read this entire review here's the scores 5 stars for being pro trump 4 stars for being a affordable huge breakfast ( chicken fried steak and fried eggs specifically) 3 stars for service ( there is only 1 lady and 1 cook) But they do there best and are super friendly 5 star for price 1 Star , it's an old building , not the cleanest inside and benches are worn out , but it's an old greasy spoon hole in the wall so this is overlooked Overall I give it a 3.7, if you live in the neighborhood it's a must try for breakfast, if your from out of town probably not worth the drive from the highway for a quick bite read more

The food was decent and they were nice enough but it's dirty and everything is broken- the seats (uncomfortable) the faucet (kids got soaked) and it smelled like cigarettes really bad. The server did forget to ask how people wanted their eggs so apparently that means leave them off your plate all together. My bf hunted her down and told her how he wanted his so he got some but the kids didn't get any. I don't lean one side or another but considering the current climate, I think a Trump sign at the register was distasteful and unprofessional. read more
