If you have the chance to stop here to grab something to eat, do so you won't regret it. We were passing through Kentucky and we decided to stop to eat here. Best decision I've made in a while.

A true find! I search for homemade soups and Kellie's has the best Burgoo ever. Hearty, full of flavor, meaty. A real treat. Paired with monte Cristo that was equally wonderful. I wish I could come often and try everything!! Our waitress was friendly and efficient, as well. Highly recommend!

The food, atmosphere, and our waitress was wonderful! The mexican all you can eat and the salad bar were fresh foods with bold flavors. The little shop with unique items was worth stopping to browse through.
