Review from Greg S.

I had to go to St. Catharine's to exchange my out-of-province license for an Ontario license. Fortunately, a couple of old friends offered to drive me up there, hung around while I did battle with the bureaucracy, and then took me out to lunch to recover afterwards. I was looking longingly at the Perkins across the street, but hey, they were paying the piper, so they got to call the tune.
Our server was good. She had a sense of humour (or at least enough sense to laugh at our silliness), and was helpful in making our choices. She also accepted it with good grace when I told her that I'm diabetic, and thus would not be buying any of their overpriced drinks, and would she please bring me a glass of water. (It was gratifyingly large, too.)
I can't complain about the food. I had the clubhouse wrap with a side Sonoma salad. The wrap was good, if not outstanding. The salad was quite inspired. I sure didn't expect such an original recipe from a chain. I'd happily eat here on someone else's nickel any time.
But I'm taking a point off for the prices. Maybe I've been spoiled by eating at the Eighties for so long, but with prices like these guys charge, I would expect to be licking the plate and sucking on the napkin for every last molecule of ambrosia. Dudes: it's just food. It's not bad, but it's totally not worth what you're charging for it. -

So out with the kids after a game and one wants wings another a burger and I wanted something I could get a Caesar salad in a clean environment without spending a bundle.
Service and seating environment were fine, it was busy on a Friday nite. However there food bottom line is terrible. Clearly pre-prepared and assembled by morons with no skills.
Salad , was a clean looking Caesar but hey forgot to add dressing. OUr $6.99 bowls of French onion soup were intially served cold, I mean cold like 15 seconds under a microwave with non melted cheese. The second time they were clearly now toasted cheese on top but we found the onions were like raw almost and broth still luck warm. Now waitress did have manager come over immediately and they did get out new soups with apologies quickly but the second round was no better.
Add to this that 3 out of 5 of our entree meals were sub par in quality and taste to what you can get at a norm road house restaurant. There wings suck, are goupy which for Niagara is unacceptable. There deluxe sandwiches are dry and oily in the wrong combination in that the meat tastes dry but there is oils added with cheese and fixings that make it oily tasting and feeling. One sandwich had an Au Jus which was brown tasteless warm water at best.
You get what you pay for however i can alot more for a dinner for 5 at $80 without alcohol for a roadhouse burger and wings no steak etc meal.
Oh by the way to tempt fate, we ordered a chocolate mouse for $2.99. I have chewed and swallowed many medicines that tasted less like chemicals then that horror.
Bottom line Kelsey's has made fast overfilled seat service a snap with pre prepared food getting you in and out in record time. Problem is they don't realize there food SUCKS in the quality and taste department and there moronic chefs being paid minimum wages cant read the directions and clearly haven't been trained!
Value for money is poor. Lots of other places more deserving of your money in this competitive category. -

Well Charleen and Shaun are spot on. But it is Kelseys so don't expect fine dining. We stayed at the Holiday Inn across the street. Along unfortunately with the entire soccer and lacrosse leagues from Whitby. And they enede up at the restaurant the same time as us. An older gent with our small group actually took off his hearing aid it was so loud. The fact that neither the management or staff didn't do anything about the noise leadse to believe they are used to it so stay away if you're looking for a romantic dinner. The food was ok but not wow. My son had a stacked pastrami sandwich with melted mozzarella. He loved it.
