We were here for the Valentine's dinner. They have a special menu 2 for $55 during the valentine week. So we came on Friday night, a night before actual valentine day. We arrived at 6:30pm on Friday night. It was not too busy. More like families around, some tables were couples. We ordered this special. The shared App was Four Cheese Spinach dips, we chose the baked chips. Pretty good portion. The mains we got Alfredo Pasta with choice of Shrimp. Reasonable portion, cheesy and tasty, but original price was $19.99. Another main was Mediterranean Salmon (extra $4 for this dish), it was rice at the bottom and cooked Salmon. I like cooked fish, not fishy. Let's do it. We love that. The shared dessert was a piece of white chocolate cheesecake with choice of dark Chocolate or caramel on the top. It was too sweet for us. It was not too busy, but my water not got refilled, and the waitress was hard to find her when we needed. Based on the price and the food, here was still a good place to come. read more

I don't often get to see a lot of old friends these days, especially since the start of the pandemic a few years ago. It's always good to get caught up with them, especially over a good meal. I recently went to Kelseys with a friend I met through work almost 28 years ago. Over the years, we've enjoyed a good friendship, played a few rounds of golf, and shared quite a few good meals. We both enjoyed some burgers, perfectly cooked, moist and tender. They were loaded and delicious, cooked and topped to perfection. Good lunch! read more

Kelseys Original Roadhouse - Ultimate Bacon & Cheese Burger - Comfort Food Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I will say I've been to this Kelsey's many times and I'm very disappointed. I came with my friend's family for a lunch out. Walk in and was greeted very polite and that's really where the good experience ends. The waitress was the ONLY thing that was good about this experience. Firstly, it was slow so I'd expect faster service which we didn't get. And that's not the waitress fault, thats the management didn't properly staff the restaurant. Now on to the food, which honestly was WORST part of the experience. First the appetizer which was the spinach dip had hair in it. Thankful the waitress did get us a new one but the wait was long and we were already done our other appetizers. Then we got our main meals and I was disgusted with the price and portion of the food. I ordered a chicken fried chicken and got the beautiful big plate but what I saw was horrible. I had mashed potatoes and veggies with it and I was flabbergasted with what they put on my plate one scoop of mashed potatoes, one big piece of broccoli with a few tiny pieces and a small piece of chicken. Now I don't like to complain but I work in a restaurant myself and I know the proper way of portioning food on a plate. Which this was just wrong. I push it all together and it wasn't even half a plate of food altogether, the cost of it was $20.99. $21 for lest then half a plate. That is just disgraceful. I spoke to the manager and explained if the food was on a different size plate I probably wouldn't have been as mad. He had a rude attitude on his face and asked if I wanted anything else. I explain I have an allergy to onion so this is honestly one of the few thing I can eat of the menu and then he just repeat what would you like and I just said nothing thank you. But the worst part was as I left a new server had came in and walked over to my friend telling them that they over stayed and need to leave because they need the table. She told me after I had left good thing to because I would have been asking for name and number to call. For an empty restaurant really nobody should be rudely rushed out ever. Overall horrible experience. I'm disgusting and disappointed with the total out come of the lack of respect towards the customers with the staff here. We are spending our money on food and services, they should better than this. read more

My second favorite roadhouse chain after Chuck's. The environment is pleasant, and the prices are reasonable. The food was excellent as well. They offer Social Hour from 3-5 pm with selected drinks at only $6, that's a really awesome deal. The ribs were yummy; the meat literally fell off the bones. They also have a great selection of drinks. I had the Blue Lemonade - asked them to skip the shaved ice, and it tasted pretty good. The service was nice, and the space was clean and chill. Overall it was a pleasant dining experience. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 4.5/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 5/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 4.5/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 5/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 5/5 OVERALL - 4.8 read more

THANK YOU DAMARYS!!! I had the pleasure of being greeted by Damarys, the hostess at Kelseys Restaurant, and she was absolutely the highlight of my visit! From the moment I walked in, her politeness, warmth, and professionalism stood out. She was incredibly pleasant, made me feel so welcome, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience. I will definitely be returning just for Damarys--her hospitality and attention to detail made my visit unforgettable. She is a true gem, and I can't wait to experience her wonderful service again! read more

The food was decent. However, the service was a bit slow, even when the restaurant was not too busy. The atmosphere was nice, with a cozy ambiance. Cleanliness of the place was not the best, with the floors being sticky. Overall, a decent option for a casual meal, but it could definitely improve on its service. read more

Order my food, place wasn't busy, took 45 minutes over cooked my steak and service was bad.

After going to a nearby entertainment centre, we walked into this establishment around lunch hour. It was surprisingly not that busy, and we were seated immediately. The decor and atmosphere is calming, it's very comfortable and the space in the booths is good for a party of four people, in comparison to other restaurants. Our server, Victoria, was a wonderful server, and absolute sweetheart. They took our drink orders and in less than a few minutes we received them. When ordering our meals, they answered all our questions regarding the sides and substitutions, and overall was very friendly and understanding. Our meals were delicious and only took 15 minutes to arrive, they were hot and full of flavour. I rarely ever scrape my plate clean, but with this meal, it's quality in terms of price was very good. I had ordered the Lemon Pepper salmon with rice and broccoli, the sauce that is added beside the salmon (I believe it was a basil sauce) was a wonderful combination with the lemon zest. It wasn't just my meal that was pleasant, as the other members at my table each ate their meals with content. When we asked for boxes for our remaining food, Victoria had done something I never see server do, when giving us the boxes, they had given us the small plastic lids for the quesadilla sauces, so they wouldn't spill, which was highly appreciated. :) Overall if you're in a small party or with family, I'd highly recommend this establishment to relax and enjoy a filling meal. read more

Scarborough location: Food has always been good but there is no effort to ask guests that are being too loud to be considerate of other guests and bring down the volume. The recent dine-in experience at this location will be the last time, the womens washroom was trashed, lots of toilet paper on the floor of the stall, toilet paper not easily accessible, toilet seat from the toilet in the next stall on the floor, and not able to get paper towel from either of the 2 dispensers. read more

I enjoy dining at this venue before the COVID-19 in-dining opportunities were put on pause. Still, one of the best memories of coming here over the years was when Kelseys had Fajitas for Two on the menu; steak was my fav! Now, years later the menu continues to be revamped but the service I received has always been excellent, the restaurant atmosphere terrific and tasty menu options. I will continue to order takeout for a little while longer but longing for the in-house Large Wings dining experience and the Roadhouse Caesar once again! read more

We arrived around 230 pm and it was not busy at all. There might have been 10 people total there. We ordered drinks and mine came around 10 minutes later. We were not impressed. The server was friendly but did not really offer any suggestions or let us know of the lunch specials. Two of us, a party of 4 as it was my birthday, ordered steak and the only offer was sirloin which I am not really a fan of. My 5 oz bacon wrapped was 24.99 but they charged extra for the loaded baked potato and the only vegetable was steamed broccoli which was overcooked. The loaded potato was sub-standard with no sign of cheese and the toppings were sparse. One of our party ordered steak fajitas so I used some of his cheese that came with his order. He had no complaints about his order but he did comment that the lettuce did not taste right so he avoided it. None of our sirloin steaks were tender but mine came perfectly medium rare. By the way our meals came 30 minutes later despite the restaurant having very few patrons. I mentioned several times to the server that it was my birthday and only when I pointed out that my dessert was free did she agree never letting me know of that special. There was no offer of ice water until we asked and there was no refill of my friend's ice tea. My friend has a 100.00 gift card and with my alcoholic beverage the final charge was close to 180.00 with no apps and I was the only patron who had dessert. We regretted not choosing East Side Mario's where we could get free bread and salad with our entree. There was no offer of bread or even a dinner roll along with our steaks! We will never return to Kelsey's again. Incidentally, I was a chef but I am now retired. read more

I went there to order foods for takeout. I was glad I went there instead of calling them. When I went there, the staff was on the phone and it was taking long because probably people were ordering things more complicated. The staff was working hard to take correct orders. I was there to order, so it was much easy for her. I was waiting for foods outside and it took 15 min. It was not bad. She gave us gravy for fries even though I did not order. It was nice of her because their gravy was good. I had chicken thigh fried and it costs $12 without any vegetable or side order. It was a kind expensive, but chickens were very good. Bacon bbq burger was very big and tasty and fries were excellent. They have good foods. read more

I know Kelsey's is a corporate chain, but it's one that I like b/c the staff is friendly, they have a great regular menu, changing specials and the food is always great. Consistency is key. Their spinach dip is undeniably delicious. I also like how you can earn Scene points and a CAA discount. The prices are decent, as are the portion sizes. Service is always attentive and reasonably timed. read more

We've always enjoyed this restaurant for dine in, but be very careful if you get takeout. They have messed up our order more times than I can count. We no longer ever leave the parking lot without opening every single box and container to make sure they haven't forgotten yet another meal. In fact, I'm waiting for missing chicken fingers right now... read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Came with a co-worker after work for drinks and food on a Thursday. Half priced wings that tasted like crap. Let me tell you, our waitress was really forgetful and had a bit of an attitude....borderline rude. Second time here. It'll be the last. read more

Kelseys Original Roadhouse - Wings not good at all - Comfort Food Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

1 server for the whole section and there were about 10 tables booked. The one girl was very over worked but she did her best to keep up. Took quite long to get service, food...anything for that matter. Food was ok. But definitely not worth the price. My dad ordered a chicken sandwich which comes as a half and literally...we counted...6 onion rings. I got a chicken burger and fries...mediocre fries. Burger was good. It's getting really pathetic that shrinkflation is a thing. Charge people more, give less quantity and less quality. Eating out is becoming expensive and not worth it. More and more I'm seeing this at all restaurants and fast food chains. And I am truly cancelling eating out. It's a shame! read more

Service was great. Attentive,polite and friendly Great family joint but also good for a reasonably priced meal with good portion sizes if you're looking for some casual bar food. Obviously expectation vs reality, don't come here expecting a Michelin star experience, but you'll get a great meal for a great price. Also daily drink specials? Amazing Came here for nachos, wings and beer. Nacho plate is MASSIVE and for $21 is definitely a must order. Wings were decent, not overly breaded and sauce was quite good. Hot was yummy (not overly spicey and I do love my spice) and the other half we ordered was apple honey (I think) which was delicious! Highly recommend the apple one. Keep in mind that Thursday is half price wing night with drink purchase! Will definitely be back! read more

This is a regular once a month stop for my wife and I. Avoiding the cold rainy Halloween night we came in to have some appys. 8 pm was the perfect time, as we got a discount on the spinach dip for "Happy Hour" Fish tacos and 1/2 order of nachos with beef chili. Fantastic. The fish tacos came with buffalo chips reminiscent of the famous Mr. Greenjeans. Probably our favourite thing tonight! And we LOVE their spinach dip with FRIED(of course) pitas. Baked is ...ok. fried rules. Great service from M. Always recommend this particular store. read more

Its been awhile since I last came to this restaurant. I'm glad I did. Place is very busy and packed. Thursdays are half off on wings. We started off with flat pan nachos and boy its huge. Shared these among 10 people. Then had 4 different flavors for wings, Apple butter Bbq, Sea salt & black pepper, honey garlic and Sweet & spicy thai chili. I enjoyed the apple butter bbq most which has a sweet, tangy and smoky taste. Cheap and good food. Will come back to try other interesting items in the menu next time. read more

I'm a massive fan of burgers. The craving hit one day and we decided to have dinner here and - surprise! - i got a burger. Or I guess what they were passing off as a burger. The patties were burnt, thin and almost half the size of the bun. I dont know what the cook was thinking letting that thing out of the kitchen. The 2 stars are for the delicious caesar salad and the friendly staff who attempted to amend the situation. I was honestly too worried to order anything else so they just didnt charge me for the burger. read more

I got the steak stack, and the steak tasted like it was leftover. had lack of flavour and lack of integrity. i asked for sour cream on the side and it had more flavour than the meal itself. the fries were decent but kind of cold. (the water also had more taste than the meal... somehow) read more

Kelseys Original Roadhouse - I still ate it tho - Comfort Food Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Kelsey's is a place that you crave until you go and remember why you vowed, the last time, never to return. The menu changes often offering dishes that are unusual but crave worthy. Some of the menu staples are always reliable. Such as, my favourite, the four-cheese spinach dip with baked pita chips. Last night, for a main entree, I had their gluten-free tomato basil penne. Slightly heavy on the sauce but made with fresh goat cheese and spinach. Good enough to eat but not overeat. For dessert, their featured deep-fried Twinkie was disappointing. Not only was it tasteless but I missed that crunch that comes with breaking the fried batter outer shell. My pal had their PB&J brownie sundae (which is big enough for 2-3 people to share) and was underwhelmed by the combination of flavours. Their drink menu is varied and has crave-worthy choices but the drinks, themselves are unreliable. My pal ordered the same drink twice and received two very different products. It's a good place for groups and based purely on the crave-worthy menu I will probably return. However, yesterday's visit was underwhelming. read more

Best place I have been which has choices from burgers, pasta and more!! I was looking for a sports bar + place where by 1-5 year ild have options to eat from. Never disappointed yet by the service they give. Weekends might have a longer waiting but worth it read more

The Hubster and I found ourselves here for an impromptu date yesterday. We had originally planned to dine at the much classier Imperial Buffet, but the lineup was a little too crazy. Service was fine, though a bit slow. We were seated at the bar and I got the feeling that the dining room was busier than anticipated. The bartender would run in, make some drinks for the rest of the place, then run out to deliver food, then back in. I got the rib and wing combo, and the Hubster got some chicken wrap. He really really enjoyed his chicken wrap and I was pretty happy with my meal. The ribs were fall off the bone, and pretty tasty, and the wings were actually spicy, but a little soggy. The cajun kettle chips were pretty good. The bar area was a good spot to watch a couple of football games during dinner. Altogether, it was your regular Kelsey's experience. Decent service, decent food at an OK price. read more

I've eaten here several times in the last 6 months, and always order the Tuscan Salad which was amazing..the 1st time! The 2nd time onward there has been something wrong / missing from the salad each time I order it. Burnt chicken, missing ingredients, no dressing (comes pre-dressed), wrong dressing. The last and final visit was a girls-night, our server was awkward and kept leaning into our faces to talk. Leaning into the table edge, pressing the front of his dirty jeans against the salt/pepper shakers, put his hand on the rim of our glasses, was slow and forgetful. At the end of the meal while trying to enjoy coffee's, a baby cockroach made his way up the WALL from the bankette seating in the main dining area... Right behind my daughters head!! How many were festering under our seat? Tried to advise a server / hostess / bartender as we left....no one was even on the floor. Needless to say, that was my/our last time there. read more

My friend had her bachelorette party dinner here; understandable as it's close to her home and there's something for everyone on the menu. We were a group of ten and I found our server to be extremely attentive/personable. The food was pretty good and quite reasonable; I ordered the shrimp tacos (three in an order) that were nice on a hot summer night. As dessert, we had the Reese's dessert; for $10, the portion was quite large so four of us shared it. Kelsey's is found in a large plaza with a lot of free parking on site, which was appreciated as I drove to the restaurant. This area isn't my usual hang out location so I'm not sure when I'll be back nor will I go out of my way to return; however, it was great for what it was. Good for: lunch, dinner, groups read more

Met up with some friends for wing night. Made reservations for 6 people only but kids decided to join us. When we got there we had asked if we can have a table for 10. The first girl said she could not help us rudely. We were even willing to sit in separate tables. I get it the place was busy. The next girl that came to talk to us was so nice and got us a table. Anyway, that was the only down side to our night. The service was great. We ordered big pan nachos and wings in 4 flavours and everything was yummy! Will go back for sure. read more

I came to Kelsey's with my colleagues as a work outing. They only had 1 server to cater the entire left side of the restaurant, we had to ask several times to get our water, and obviously no refills were provided for our soft drinks. I ordered the Chicken fettuccine, and the creamy sauce wasn't what I expected. It was mixed with a bit of green in the sauce, and the fettuccine wasn't that great either. There was minimal chicken in the pasta, I had to dig for it. The appetizers were average. Overall the experience here wasn't the best that night, probably due to understaffing issues, but I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Was excited to try this out. We went on a weekday. Ordered spinach dip for appetizer which came fairly quickly. Then the server forgot to take our orders for our main dishes and that increased our wait time for our food as well to about more than 15 mins. I ordered the Amaze-balls burger with the mac and cheese filling which i didn't think had as much flavour. My sister ordered butter chicken and that was pretty good. The butter chicken was fried too which is not authentically made but it adds a unique taste to it. read more

8 of our Family decided to drop in for a Sunday lunch without a reservation. I was a bit worried but they made us up a table real fast and even let us use another table for more room. Myself and wife ordered the grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches with sweet potato fries and onion rings. Both were tasty and the grilled cheese with Chipotle ketchup was awesome. It was a nice touch to have mushrooms in it, gave it a nice flavor. Our kids got the ultimate cheese burger with fries and we'll! !!! Quite big, in fact huge and also flavorful.. the gravy wasn't all that great but the kids both loved the burger. Would definitely go back again, maybe for a dinner next time read more

The Big What burger dissappeared, which made me sad. However, the grilled cheese sandwich was tasty mostly due to the bread they use (ACE bakery); the messy fish sandwich was a yummy break from meat. For $15 each, these two dishes were good. I suspect the portion control for their food is tightening and looks smaller but at least you can tackle hem without taking some home. read more

Meh at best. Came in tonight, sat at the bar. There were 4 other tables and one server, who was also the bartender. The waitress/bartender was nice. But.. The service was slow...We ordered nachos with chilli, they ran out of chilli. And then our mains were lackluster at best. Both dishes were luke warm. Our bill came to almost $70. Definitely not worth that price tag. read more

I usually come here for Thursday half price wings. You have to order a drink to get the half price wings. I ordered their Raspberry Sangria with Light Ice. They usually put a ton of ice which is why I would always request less ice. They have 3 sizes of chicken wings and I usually order the largest size since it's half price. Their Sangrias are ginormous. And I had trouble finishing it at the end of the night. read more
