Kelly's Restaurant - Tweed

Was taking a Saturday drive, with no particular destination in mind, and around suppertime found us near Tweed, Ontario. I remembered a fabulous restaurant I used to frequent 30 odd years ago when travelling from Toronto to Ottawa on business. Much to my delight, it was still in business; and even better, the food was/is still amazing. Everything was delicious; portions substantial. Highly recommend if in the area.

We stopped in for especially for their desserts. Last time there we had the lunch specials, which were very good, but left no room for dessert. This time we had their soup of the day and dessert. The Service was quick and cordial. The soup was hot and good. Our desserts were great. We are making this a regular stop.

Kelly's has been a favourite stop over the years whenever I'm in Tweed around lunch time. This stop was a break in a day long business meeting, so we dashed out for some dinner. The food is always good at Kelly's, and its a nice cosy restaurant in a lovely setting on Hwy 37. I selected a pan fried filet of sole, and my companions opted for Kelly's Burger and the two piece fish and chips respectively. The french fries, without question, were delish. My companion's two piece haddock was generous and he dug into it with gusto, enjoying the nice crunch of the side coleslaw. My other companion's burger was short of being massive. I wasn't sure she could finish it but, she did and enjoyed the experience. My filet of sole was properly cooked, and a nice side of mixed veg with a touch of yellow curry seasoning rounded out my meal. The food was good, the service pleasant as always, and we lingered over our coffee, unfortunately without room for one of their wonderful desserts. Both of my companions agreed it was the perfect alternative to subs or pizza, and a great setting for a decent meal.

I highly recommend the fish and chips or the chicken fajita wrap! You also can't go wrong with a side salad. Delicious food, worth the drive from Ottawa.

This place definitely has some character. When you walk in there are all sorts of interesting memorabilia on the walls. It isn't a very big place so I would advise at going just before the dinner rush to ensure that you get table. The food was good as most people have stated. It's your typical American menu and a few pasta dishes.
