I got the smothered turkey chops with yams and potato salad. The sides was banging and on point but the turkey chops were a little salty for me. My wife got the fried chicken, green beans, mac & cheese. She said the chicken was ok and the mac was good but not gooey enough for her. Overall we will be back when we come to A/C again!!

Kelsey & Kim's; From the moment we walked in, the vibe was super warm and welcoming. Our waitress, Maria, was a total sweetheart, and the other lady behind the counter (who I think was the owner) was just as nice and welcoming. Now the food... seriously incredible πŸ˜‹ The cornbread alone is worth the trip. Everything we ordered looked amazing and tasted even better. This was our first time trying East Coast soul food, and Maria gave us awesome recommendations from start to finish. She was super attentive, checked on us often, and really made the experience special. We came from Texas and Oklahoma celebrating a 50th birthday, and this restaurant ended up being one of the best parts of our foodie adventures. You can totally feel the care, flavor, and heart in everything here. If I lived closer, we'd probably be regulars... πŸ‘πŸΎ

Came to this restaurant about 6 weeks ago for dine in and was very pleased with my food. Returned for take out this past weekend and was very disappointed. Food was not worth the money or 20 minute wait. The chicken wings were noticeably smaller, some were broken and tasted different as if another breading was used which was very thick. Once the first two wings i tried had broken bones, i threw them all out. I definitely regretted my decision this go round. Also, the young lady at the counter was nice until I asked how much longer on my food. She became defensive and pretty rude. Stated there were people in front of me which I was aware of and had no issue with. Then told me i just got there like I had nerve to question the time when in fact I arrived at 1255 and the time was 115 when I asked. I had to explain why I asked for her to bring it down a notch. Not sure i will patron this place again as I am sad i paid $22 for this plus $10 for a slice of cake. Had I not been an hour and a half away when I finally looked at the plate, I would have taken it back.

I came to Kelsey & Kim’s based on a friend’s recommendation, and I truly enjoyed every part of the experience. The staff was welcoming, and Marie was an incredible server. Great service is just as important as the food, and out of all the places I visited during my birthday weekend in Atlantic City, nothing topped the experience my girlfriend and I had with her. The food was also excellent. The chicken was well-seasoned, the cornbreadβ€”wowβ€”and the waffle was delicious. Everything came out exactly as requested, which made the experience even better. I’m genuinely grateful for the experience, and I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in Atlantic City again. Also… those tea mugs are awesome lolβ€”you guys should sell them πŸ˜‰ 5 stars all the way! Professional staff, great food, and an amazing vibe.

Amazing from start to finish! The clean and embracing atmosphere starts from the moment you hit the sidewalk. You’re greeted by smiling faces and warming words! Chef Rodney did his thing in the kitchen. The best grits I ever tasted and the fish was seasoned so perfectly no condiments were needed. Marie our server was so sweet and attentive. This truly was the cherry on top of our anniversary trip. We are headed home now full and satisfied until next time!!!! Make sure you stop by and see them.
