Kelly’s On Main

Made a 20 person reservation for a surprise party based off of a recommendation from a friend and could not have been more impressed! All of the staff were extremely accommodating and kind. Great live music and a relaxed vibe.
The food was great, too! I tried the short rib taco and fried pickles as well as taking bites of both the steak tips and the wild mushroom pizza… all were delicious and well cooked! The brownie sundae was tasty as well, pictured below with bacon on top.
I will definitely be returning and recommending Kelly’s on Main to others!

Great place. Love the food and drinks and the live music is the best!
Especially Kings Highway.

Just had ruben on marble rye huge & piled high with skinny fries that were the best. Right up there with zabars in NYC. Big parking lot end of main street. Locals go here. Sat at bar, watched college game, several TV’s. Partner had to help finish. The corned beef was moist & great taste. They did it right!

Food is great our group enjoyed the short rib, fig & blue Flatbread, the cure sandwich, the lamb sliders & turkey BLT plus Salmon entre special all was enjoyable. Also excellent and cheerful service.

We went to this place last year when it was the Compound Bar and Grill and found it to be fine. We returned with friends this fall and it is now Kelly’s on Main and it was terrible. Not one of us had a meal that end up being half eat, and no one enjoyed any of the food. The place presents itself like a dirty college bar. Avoid at all cost.

This place is awesome! I visited it my first day in town and fell in love with it. Ashley and Ben were great. Very attentive. Felt like I was at my local watering hole. I made my way there each night. If you are in Hyannis you have to stop in.

I was about to plunk down a 3, because of a confused and not attentive server (until she realized the boss was chatting it up with us), and a drier than saw dust seared tuna… But his hand crafted drinks (wine list is AWEFUL) and that FISH TACO ($ 5 for a fish taco that is a luscious mouthful you can’t stop at 1) and a chewy/​doughy/​charred delicious flatbread… And they open LATE — kitchen going until 1215 and open til 1 am… You all know how I feel about pubs… But Mike has it going on, with a passion for bourbon and hand crafted drinks in a town that has to fight for survival. Keno, live music… A little bit of something for everyone. Mike had us at «Im sorry for that tuna». K dude, we’ll overlook the tuna and the dull server!

No, sorry, not 5 stars. The staff was very friendly, the service was quick and the beer was cold. The food? I’m sorry Unilocalers, but it is pedestrian at best. If this place makes your mouth water, I implore you to try some of the other restaurants in the area. We had two flavors of wings and quahogs. We finished neither. The wing sauces weren’t pleasant and I’m guessing the wings were precooked and warmed in a toaster oven based on the char on my Sweet Sriracha and the Ultimate Heat was neither ultimate nor was there much heat. The quahogs were described perfectly by a neighboring diner when he said they «are different.» Maybe it was a one-​off bad experience or perhaps the two choices we made weren’t the picks of the menu but the food was simply not good.

My wife and I had an outstanding meal, great drinks and a wonderful waiter – 5 stars! I had scallops over wild rice which was delicious and my wife had the «fancy» grilled cheese with bacon and a sweet drizzle that was ridiculously good along with great onion rings. Drinks were the Huckleberry Hound and the barrel-​aged Mai Tai which were both great. Jeffrey, our waiter, was fantastic – very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. He was a very enjoyable young man who made our meal even better – he told us that many of the waitstaff were trained at higher end eateries and it shows. Honestly, we came to watch a tennis match and have some food and were a little skeptical when we first walked in because it looks like your average bar and grill. We were very pleasantly surprised at the sophistication of both the drinks and the extra nice touches on the food – highly recommend!

This place is amazing! Loved the variety of hand crafted cocktails and food was SO good. I got the Power Salad with Kale and Brussel Sprouts topped with grilled Salmon — it was really delicious and healthy! Prices are reasonable — there was no item on menu list above $ 20. Best value and the tastiest food around Hyannis. All the staff members are very nice and friendly. Live entertainment adds up more charm to this place. It was our first time and we will be back shortly! Keep it up guys!

New ownership. This is not Compound anymore at all meanings. Greatest cocktail list. We tried quahog which was a little over salted, but the ingredients tasted super delicious. My friend ordered a power salad along with Faroe Island salmon, cabbage, nuts and dried cranberries which all together made a very flavorful mixture. The other friend had specialty burger in a wrap (yes, in a wrap) perfectly done, delicious! Add live music and nice crowd — A+. Keep up good work and we will be back shortly.

We checked out Kelly’s last night, a little skeptical as we had tried the previous establishment there and were not impressed. Well I’m happy to say that we were very pleasantly surprised and will absolutely be going back again. They use the term «superior pub food» which is a bit of an understatement IMO. The clam chowder was awesome, the reuban filled with large pieces of corned beef, and very tasty. The steak frites plate was outstanding as well. Don’t let the location dissuade you, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Looking for amazing food? Great drinks? Friendly, attentive wait and bar staff ??
Run (don’t walk) to KELLY’S ON MAIN !!
No food item on thier menu is over $ 20 and the food is incredible
Ps: if your into KENO, you can get your game on here too
If you try kellys once, you’ll be a regular !

Here on vacation with my family and the restaurant is located right next to our hotel (International Inn), so naturally we found ourselves going there on our first night out. First off, I’d like to say that the prior establishment had a negative reputation and that «The Compound» shouldn’t be confused with «Kelly’s on Main» as they’re two completely different businesses.
With that out of the way, I’d like to say that my family and I love the place! The atmosphere is very relaxed, the staff is friendly, and you just feel welcome. We found ourselves going there every night for dinner and some of us staying out even later into the night. The owners Mike and Ashley are always out talking to customers (both tourists and locals alike) at a respectable level and within the customers comfort zone. Never once did I feel like I was being pushed to buy anything or made to feel uncomfortable while talking to others around me.
Next, I have to give the staff working behind the bar a great deal of credit. Both Ben and Jordan are a lot of fun and will work to ensure you feel taken care of. If there’s anything you’d like to try not located on the drink or food menu, they’re more than happy to try new things for you within reason. I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed just shooting the breeze with them while I was there… it almost had an «Always Sunny in Philadelphia» feel to it.
The food was great and if there was ever a problem they went back and fixed it with no problem or complaint. They know what they’re up against in Hyannis and take service and quality very seriously. Kelly’s also likes to make all of their drinks as natural as possible. They mix fresh fruit into the drinks right at the bar.
The bottom line is that Kelly’s is a great establishment that deserves quite some praise. I can’t wait to go back again once we return to the Cape next year!

Best late night dinner in town! Super-​friendly people who make sure you are having a great experience. We loved their tuna and perfectly done steak. Relaxed atmosphere, full bar with delicious cocktails, … Awesome!
