Kelseys

Kelsey’s has really improved over the last few years! Good job! The last review i gave was 1 star for quality of food and value of food.

Kelseys new menu looked scrumptious. It was a great patio start but sadly that’s where the triumph ended. Polite service but slow, 15 minutes to get a drink and there were only 3 tables going on the patio at the time. My dish was the holiday burger, the best part about it was the pretzel bun. I laughed because the menu specified «yes, real stuffing» which wasn’t anything more than large croutons coated in something wet, maybe butter, rather chewy and inedible. The turkey burger was dry and loaded with sage. I love sage but this was overkill. Ah well you can’t win em all but sadly my friends dining with me also had less than good meals. I used to love Kelseys but not sure I’ll be back anytime soon. There are many restaurants in the area, I think I will try one of them instead next time.

The wife and I always enjoy coming to Kelsey’s at the centrum mall here in Kanata. To say we are regulars would be an understatement. The service is always first rate and the food is always good. This location can get busy due to it being located a km away from the Canadian Tire Center. Even with an event going on the service is fast and curtious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to any one looking to just unwind after a hard day at work. They have the best waitresses there, quick shout out to Kathleen’s.

Went for a quick lunch. The service was great. The food is horrible for what you pay. Tried the korean steak salad and the chicken sesame salad. Both were drenched in way too much sugary dressing. The steak on the salad was very small, and although the flavor of the steak itself was ‘ok’, presentation was horrible. I go back to Kelsey’s every couple of years wondering if it will be better, but am always disappointed in the food.

We got a gift card for a Cara restaurant for Christmas, so we decided to give Kelsey’s a try again for an early Valentines Day dinner. Thank god we did, what an experience!
First of all, so many changes! From staff uniform to the drink/​dessert menu! Wow!
I had the wings, my fav deep fried mars bar, and the spin dip. Faaaantastic! My boyfriend and I split a pint of Canadian, everything came in a timely manner. My faith in Kelsey’s has been restored! I can’t wait to go back!
The only issue I have with Kelsey’s is that they really change their menu. Almost constantly. Items that I love are gone. They’re replaced with delicious things, don’t get me wrong but it’s hard to get excited for something that probably won’t be there in a month. I remember when they had the «lighter selections» part to their menu. we went every weekend.
All in all, a phenomenal Valentines Day dinner! My anniversary is coming up in March and you bet your behind we’ll be going to Kelsey’s Kanata!

We decided to have a dinner at this Kelsey’s location. We were seated very quickly and our server was prompt with our drink order.
After ordering appetizers and our dinner, our appetizers promptly came out. I highly recommend the 4 cheese spinach dip to share.
Our waitress was great in checking up on us however the kitchen was very slow. The restaurant was approximately ¾ full yet we had to wait 40 minutes for our main dishes. Our waitress did update us however one thing that was never done was an apology for the wait. The wait was also blamed for a large party with 15 people. I found that absurd considering the restaurant was not busy.
For a main dish I ordered the chicken Parmesan which included 2 generous pieces of breaded chicken and a very unsatisfying amount of pasta. Although the accompanying pasta was in an Alfredo sauce, I still found it lacking in flavour. My wife ordered the steak Guiness skillet and it came out barely warm despite being told earlier that our food was just being finished. For 6.99, children can choose from a grilled cheese sandwich, a mini cheeseburger, or chicken tenders. My niece got the grilled cheese which was not crispy and appeared to be pre-​made and just microwaved. My nephew got the mini cheeseburger and lets say, mini was definitely precise in describing the size.
My overall rating was heavily waited on the inconvenience of waiting 40 minutes for our main dishes to come out. Any family with young children can attest that children grow restless quickly waiting that long. To add insult to injury, the food was nothing spectacular after finally getting it.
