then, we've grown to become a local's favorite across Hampton

outdoor dining and excellent casual fare, we are proud to
have won a variety of community awards:
Best Burger in Hampton Roads for 13 consecutive years
Best Casual Dining
Best Local's Place
Best Hot Wings
Best Hot Dog
Best Outdoor Dining
Best Crab Soup
and Best Restaurant for Lunch
The entire Kelly's organization embraces our corporate principles:
A Commitment to the Highest Quality, Freshest Ingredients
We have been in this business for a long time, and we are committed to serving you with the freshest food possible. Your meal is made to order EVERY time . Want proof? You will never find “half-cooked” burgers waiting to be warmed up in our kitchens. Just look how tiny our freezers are!
A Continual Attention to Detail
We are proud of our meticulousness in food selection, preparation and presentation. We are constantly re-evaluating our menu choices. Our chefs and staff are professionally trained. All because -- we know that is what it will take to bring you back – time and time again.
While we insist on excellence, we constantly strive to improve all aspects of our service. If you have any questions or comments, contact us.
A Leadership in Community Stewardship
We are born and bred LOCALS. We love Hampton Roads and we take our Commitment to the Community very seriously. Kelly's is proud to support local youth organizations, animal adoption agencies, local food banks and the arts.
"While opening the mail recently, I noticed an envelope from Kelly's Tavern. I excitedly opened it up to reveal a generous check... and then there was another, and yet another, and yet another -- one from each of the Kelly's locations. I began to cry, because Hope for Life Rescue had been in serious financial trouble up until then. In today's environment, it is difficult enough to raise money for human needs let along for "abandoned and abused animals," but Kelly's came through for us and helped us to continue our mission in the community. We will always be grateful for their interest in our mission and their generosity towards us."

Director, Hope for Life Rescue
