My husband an I ordered takeout tonight and burgers and fries were good but also ordered fried mushrooms and very disappointed in the amount and size mushrooms we received for the price compared to eating inside the restaurant. Sad:( read more

Had a burger and tater tots. Food came out quick and fresh....too hot to eat right away!!! Lots of "different" sides to choose from. Service was great even though the place was packed. Great home town burger restaurant. I will be eating here again soon! read more

Terrible service. Rude employees. Very unclean. Now since they are no longer open 24 hours it is a terrible business. I used to eat there regularly but not anymore. Don't waste your money. Go anywhere else. I don't recommend this business. read more

Food was awesome and the server was so helpful and friendly. I highly recommend the food. This place has the best burger in town. Also, my favorite is the western omelet with country gravy for my tater tots. read more

I really enjoyed my meal here. I was met with very courteous servers and prompt service. I had the Lucy Burger and an Arnold Palmer. This place really has an old-timer vibe with really good comfort food. The prices are very reasonable as well. read more

Little did I know that diner type food still exists, especially in Clarksville home of strip mall chains and not much else. Trying to find a place away from Exit 4 for dinner is a challenge but Kelly's was open and I pulled in with a friend of mine. It seems like a place where regulars have been coming for years, families come in on weekly and I seriously saw someone walk in say the usual and walk out while the waitress/cook/cashier cooked up something and packed it up. Not to say that I felt unwelcome as a newcomer at all we were given time to decide/look over the menu. We asked questions about menu items that we never heard and they put up with us and answered everything with patience. The Big burger here is an 8 ouncer, and I got the bacon cheeseburger one with the works and 'munchers' which were like hash browns with cheese. The burger was cooked on the griddle and I could taste the juice of it. The 'mucnher's were kind of 'eh' and I should have just gone with good old fashioned french fries instead. My friend got a smaller burger with onion rings and that was a better option. I can't come to a place like this and go without a dessert. I got the peanut butter pie, an icebox style pie which was tasty, and smooth. Diners live! read more

BLT club was bacon, ham off the bone & Turkey ! Triple layer and delicious ! I am a coleslaw fanatic and their coleslaw was one of the best I have ever had ! read more

A neat little place with really good food. It must be popular because people were constantly coming in and ordering. But that did not prevent the staff from delivering service with speediness and accuracy. read more

We love this place! My kids always want to go and get their huge pancakes. The burgers are so good!

Used to love this place, but I'm sorry to say both my husband and I got food poisoning after eating here. Nausea, headache, stomach cramps, loss of appetite, and unpleasant bathroom trips -- all 100% food poisoning and in the exact timeline from when we ate here. We know for a fact it was from eating here because we didn't eat anything else after dinner and skipped breakfast because that was when our symptoms began. For what it's worth, there was multiple issues with our order as well and the bathrooms were closed so it wasn't a great experience while we were dining there either. Such a shame, this used to be a regular date spot for us. I guess you live and you learn. read more

Bacon cheeseburger jumbo best burger I've had in a Long time. Happy my friends at the Hibbett Sports in Hopkinsville told me about this place. Tots were on point. Not too salty, not too greasy. Nice crunch. I also had the corn nuggets. They were good. A little on the dry side, and not as sweet as I would like... still good though! read more

Today was my second time eating at Kelly's Big Burger (Diner). The atmosphere is reminiscent of a classic diner. I've never really been to a local diner before other than the first time I visited Kelly's. Let me start off by saying I love Kelly's. I am a college student at APSU and this diner is a 2 minute drive from my dorm. The first time I went to their diner it was delicious. The second time, today, was just as good if not better. The waitresses are always so nice and welcoming to me. I feel taken care of there. The cook was also curious of the food I ate, asking if it was good. Of course I replied, "Yes sir, and the biscuits were amazing." Because they are. If you haven't tried Kelly's, please try their biscuits. They are so fluffy and taste amazing. I would rather eat here than Cracker Barrel or Waffle House because I know they're going to take care of me and feed me some delicious food. I was feeling under the weather today but one biscuit at Kelly's got me back up. read more

Yes it's a whole in the wall but the food is great hand made HB Pattie's for burgers Most of the group I there were friendly . I sat by the door so I laughed the whole time . Don't know the cooks Name but she was so funny. The counter was full and nearly all them was talking trash and she had a comeback for them all . Then the other crew would chime in it was like they were all family. Prices reasonable for what you get . Quality and Quantity. I will return not for food but in hope the blonde cook is there she was hilariousSpicy Burger couldn't eat all of it took home good old fashioned crinkle b French fries Then had a s bowl of banana pudding like grandma used to make!!! read more

This was my first visit and I thought the place was swell! The staff is friendly and attentive, the place is clean and feels welcoming and homey, just like a neighborhood joint should. I had a bacon double cheeseburger with everything - onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mayo. It was deeeeelish! I love that they grill the bun in butter on the flat top. The crispy, slightly salty, creamy flavor that it adds to the burger is amazing and makes the existing yumminess that much more yummy! The food is very reasonably priced and there are a few menus - kid, senior, regular, and bbq which is a day or two a week though I don't recall which days the bbq is available. No matter when you come in during the 24 hours they're open, you will very likely find something you want to eat. In addition to all of that, there are specials on the whiteboard above the grill which consisted of some great sounding guilty pleasures like fried okra, fried pickles, fried oreos, fried Moon Pies, and a fried honey bun with vanilla ice cream among other things, none of which I tried . . . this time . . . But I'll be back so there's always next time! read more

Best breakfast place in town!! Don't care for the cash only thing but I understand it. But great food and everything's made in front of you. My favorite for breakfast place. Chillin getting Lunch with the wife here at Kelly's Big Burger. I love breakfast here so much I'm stoked they always do breakfast all day here. SOLID! Kinda crazy today the people dinning here today are getting a little rude to the workers here. Idk why? They are running everywhere trying to take and get orders out so I don't think there's any need to get all huffy puffy if the catch you at the door asking you to pay your bill(even if you did pay) just be nice as a person. Let them know you paid and it'll work it's self out. Then move on with your day y'all. Lol love this place. Haha read more

Kelly's Big Burger - lol park at the menu - Diners Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

The worst restaurant anywhere. Stop going here until they clean it up. The food is absolutely disgusting. The tater tots were practically burned. They don't know how to cook eggs. The biscuits are frozen. Even the burgers are bad. Based on the reviews on here, something has happened in the last year. We will not be back. read more

Maintain the Quality of the food if you're asking TOP $$$. Two years ago, this was an affordable Diner that offered a wider variety of dishes in southern cuisine. It was always the place to go if you wanted a consistent decent plate of southern cooking. Since the price of the Food has sky rocketed and I mean literally, the quality of the food has sunken below sea level. The rocky top had some sort of clear goo that must have been from raw egg, the menu has become slim to nothing, while canned corn beef hash is now $10. Not to mention they do not offer orange juice...Like what even is that. Hugely disappointed in what once was a Clarksville Staple, now rumored to be a sellout that puts little to zero amount of care in their preparations. Those of you that still go, god bless you but I ate my last meal there today. For the nice waitresses there that always served my coffee and plates with a smile and cordial manners, keep doing it because y'all are about the only thing this joint has got going for it. read more

Had a patient recommend this spot and decided to give it a try for dinner. The double cheeseburger was very yummy!! Enjoyed the French fries as a side. If you are looking for a burger joint, this is your spot!! It's an old mom and pops feel place, nothing fancy but yummy food. We will be back!!! Make sure you have cash to pay (they do have an ATM). read more

If you want something faster and more appetizing, just find your local dumpster and pull out a plate of steaming garbage. Stay far away from this restaurant! read more

Shame on me-I've LIVED in Clarksville for 6-7 years and this is my first time here! I got the feta burger with fries-DELICIOUS! I asked them to make my fries crunchy and they did EXACTLY THAT:) I've never been to a place where they were more than willing to make your dish to your specifications-BRAVO! So, I initially told them no onions, but received it with onions. When I told the waitress, I think she was worried that I wasn't going to tip because she really seemed immediately disappointed, but I'm not that kind of person. Their wait staff was very friendly and courteous by the way, which goes further than they realize. Anyway, this place will remain on my list of top 5 Clarksville burger joints,...of course, I guess that's why they've managed to be around since 1964:) read more

The husband and I were on our way from point A to point B and he loves burgers. We saw Kellys so we stopped in to try them out. We walked in the door, there were 2 females behind the counter, one answering the phone. There was a family sitting at one booth and a couple other people dining in as well. The second my husband & I walked in the door we were told they had just closed. It was 1:30pm and online it says they are open 24 hours. We left very disappointed and a little frustrated. Out of curiosity I ended up calling to ask their hours and was told on the phone that they never close. So now I'm just pissed. They lost my business. read more

BIG is right! Stopped here to get take out. Got a big bacon cheeseburger & could only eat HALF of it. Daughter got the Gouda burger & she liked it well enough. We will be back to try other dishes. read more

Great hamburger. Best I've had in a long time! Feels like the old timers burger places where everyone knows everyone, wonderful, friendly staff. read more

Best Burger in town. Great staff and atmosphere. If you want you typical neighborhood diner, then this is the place.

Super friendly staff. We have a large family and they only too happily put together some tables during a busy time to make sure all of us could sit together. We never had to ask for a refill, we didn't feel pressured to eat quickly so they could turn a table..that was really nice. Prices were also decent. But overall not a place I'd go out of my way for . It reminded me of another longtime burger place in town folks love but I'm also not super fond of. It's isn't that it's bad food or not cooked correctly; not at all. It's more that it's just basic diner fare. No surprises. No "Ah-ha" moments of deliciousness. The cheese sticks seemed like the frozen kind u get from a store. Burger was ok and cooked decent but very greasy which got all over the plate. It may have been I had a higher expectation since so many love this place and speak of the amazing burgers and I was let down. But I can tell you it's friendly people and you can expect and will get decent food for a good price that will fill the belly. More of a 3.5 Star thanks to good service. read more

I've heard so many things about Kelly's from everyone in town since moving here in February that I finally tried it. I have to say it is AMAZING and will definitely be making many more trips to Kelly's in the future. read more

If your looking for a good burger fresh not frozen this is a great hole in the wall spot to go to it's not very big but the customer service and the food is great get the bacon double with onion rings read more

True, old fashioned, diner. Service is good, did is greasy. Prices are great. Not a lot of seating, but we'll come back.

We went to Kelly's Big Burger tonight(I forgot to take pictures) but that place was really good! I had the hamburger steak and my husband had the double bacon burger. He said it was AWESOME, and my hamburger steak was really good as well. I like my stuff salty so I added more salt but it was still really good. Cooked extremely well and you can tell the meat is fresh. Their little cornbread pancakes are also awesome! The only thing I will say is if you have a bigger truck the parking is a little difficult but totally worth it! Will definitely go back to try their breakfast! read more

The service was very quick! The burgers were overly greasy, by the time we got home (10 minutes) the buns were soaked with grease. The chili cheese fries are made with homemade chili and a slab of pre-processed cheese. Even when we got home it wasn't melted. The chili was okay, but when I ordered them I thought it would be just a meat and bean chili, so it was disappointing. We won't be going back, I think there are better burger joints in town. read more

It was my first time going here yesterday and all I can say is the food is AMAZING!!! the burgers are so BIG! great customer service . I love it here read more

Food was good, but service was horrible. They just sit you and forget about you unless you call out to them

Went there for lunch. I was told they were cash only and I could use ATM in the building. I told lady no thank you. She was a bit rude. I left. . . . read more

We were looking for a good burger that we didn't have to drive an hour for.... Red Robin's is our normal place but that's is Nashville. Well I looked up best burgers in Clarksville and this place popped up! The Food came out really hot and fresh and was really good. Also the price is very reasonable.... I will be back again soon! read more

Unfortunately I have to say that this establishment is not very great. The building is not very clean and there food is barely tolerable. Most of the food is pre-made or out of a package. Chicken strips are what you would find a a fast food restaurant. They are ground up and formed into "strips" and then deep fried. Their waffles are also pre-made (at least the one I got was). Apparently they make them in advance and refrigerate or freeze them. When they are ordered, they are placed on a the flat grill until they "look" done. Which is basically burning the outer parts of the waffle. Service was friendly but VERY slow. My awful waffle was even forgot about until I reminded them. It took 15minutes for a pre-made waffle. The only thing I actually ate that I ordered was the French fries that came with my chicken strips (it's hard to mess up fries). This was the second time I visited this eatery and I still am not impressed. The first time I was there one of the owners was smacking flies with a fly swatter on the table tops and flicking them on the floor. Unhealthy and very unprofessional. I am very surprised someone has not gotten sick. read more

Loved this diner! It had the old timey feel. The food was good. Beware--CASH ONLY!! Although they do have an atm on site, you just don't want to get hit with fees. It would have been five stars if there wasn't a damn fly in our face the whole time. But the food was downright delicious and the burgers weren't frozen btw, they serve breakfast all day. And if you want something cheap and good they have a chicken biscuit for $2.99 and it was divine! read more

The reviews for this place seemed great so I sent my husband to go pick us up some dinner. Upon first glance at the food, it looked super delicious...but then you take your first bites... The fries tasted like the cheapest grocery store brand of frozen fries, that were just baked and served, not seasoned in any way and just gross. The burgers.... yuck... the meat was sloppily formed into a patty and cooked, it was flat and disgusting. And the onion rings... ugh... who messes up onion rings? They did. That's who. I would definitely recommend not ever going here. read more

Was not a fan of anything. Chili cheese fries had no cheese and were a tasteless freezer burned mush mess. Stuffed pretzels were hallow, no cheese left in the middle and were hard as a rock/burnt. I split the gouda burger and spicy burger with my husband they were alright. Cash only NBD, small, and a little too dumpy. People were nice, but all in all I would not return. But if you do go just order 2 burgers because they are not "big" and everything else is blah. read more

THIS. PLACE. IS. AMAZING. My husband and I were leary of trying this place because even though it got stellar reviews (spot on!), the pictures didn't really pull us in. Well let me tell you, those pictures don't do that food justice. We both had a burger and it was one of the top burgers of my life. So delicious and moist. Sometimes its just the simple things in life that can be great. You don't always need a million different weird toppings to make a burger. Just cheese bacon and a few condiments will do. The fries could have been a little crispier but I know that sometimes that is just my own preference. My husband got the fried mushrooms and loved them! Their prices are great, so reasonable. They have different specials each day and always have a variety of PIE! :) Yum! Don't have a military discount but you won't need one with these prices. Small place with only a handfull of booths and even less counter stools, but there was plenty of open seating while we were there. Also, open 24 hours!! read more

I really enjoy this place. I eat breakfast here at least 3 to 4 time a week. The staff is very friendly and you never have to wait for anything. The environment is really relaxed and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place when ever you find your self on riverside. read more
