Stopped for lunch with family and a couple young kids. There was space in the back for the youngins to have some space. Service was great. Good was wonderful. We were there in winter and the view of the river was beautiful! I imagine the summer views are wonderful as well. We will be back!

Kelly's is a fun, lively place for some decent eats with a view. You can sit inside / near bar area or go outside to catch some rays. Menu was straightforward and prices were reasonably cheap. Staff were attentive and helpful especially with a little one. Ordered: - Walleye Sandwich (2.5/5). A bit too burnt and salty to what I'm used to. Bread was soggy too. - Onion Rings (2/5). Smaller pieces would have been tastier. Bit oily. Overall - this is a great place for the views. I'll probably stick with a burger next time.

First time visitors for a midweek midday lunch. Sat outside right on the water on a gorgeous summer day. Waitress was hard working and attentive. Plenty of satisfying ice water provided which we enjoyed with craft beer and cocktails. Our food was tasty. We had BLT, Ruben sandwich and a chicken bacon ranch wrap. Sides of potato salad, coleslaw and french fries were all good. Would definitely come again when in the area.

For starters, the outdoor seating is spectacular! The entertainment was a very good folk singer singing Fogelburg, Bob Seager, and the like. His name is Tony Cuchetti. On this pleasant summer evening could it get better? Well, he had the ribs and I ordered the Asian salad. The food was fresh and portions are generous. We give it a 4 and we'd come back again!

We've had great experiences at Kelly's in Red Wing, so we stopped off here when we were in Lake City. On a Sunday at 4pm, the place was pretty crowded inside; seats were offered offered on the patio, but as the temperature was in the 50s, I'm not sure if many were taking the offer. The TVs over the bar were showing the Packers game and bowling, which seemed quite regionally appropriate.Service was consistently slow throughout our visit. We had a tiny high top and it became increasingly crowded with dirty dishes and platters that weren't picked up as more things came out. My husband had a stack of signed receipts from previous customers that were sitting on the room divide inches away from him, and they weren't picked up until near the end of our visit.The food, however, was delicious. We started off with cheese curds. My husband ordered a beer and I had a cider. For our main dishes, I had the margherita flatbread while my husband had the Barge, what they call their all-meat pizza. Everything was excellent. My husband had a lot leftover, and when he asked for a take-out container, he was given a standard Styrofoam box. Not the best conveyance for pizza, as pieces had to be stacked, making the bottom layer steam and go soggy.I think we'd come here again based on the food and the nice vibe, but I hope the service issues are fixed soon.

Nice deck to enjoy outside seating and the beautiful view on the water. The restaurant was busy while we were here, and they appeared to be short staffed. Took a while for the food to come out. The anchor pretzel was great. Brisket sandwich had good flavor but was kind of dry snd wasn't very warm when it came out. Fries were great- crispy!

Such great staff! So welcoming and they the bartenders really know what they are doing! I had a dirty martini and an old fashioned both were the best I've had. We had such a good time Saturday night that we went back on the morning to watch the game. The bartender opened early so people could be there at the start of the 8;30 game. Thank you for the great service and masterfully crafted cocktails! The view from the bar of the lake is an added bonus.

Picture this: slight breeze in the air, perfectly partly cloudy as the sun is setting on another beautiful summer day. Your view is picturesque Lake Pepin, surrounded by rolling hills on either side of the Mississippi, whether its the Wisconsin side or the Minnesota side.But of course, the views are the most delicious part of Kelly's on the Lake. My friends and I stopped in here after an afternoon exploring Lake City, hoping to get a table lakeside to enjoy our dinner. At 6, we were told it was about an hour wait. Determined to sit outside, we agreed, put our name down to be called, and walked along the lake until 6:45p, expecting that we'd have to wait 15 more minutes at most.To our surprise, we were seated - either by serendipity that we arrived at the same time that a table was ready or the hostess forgot to call us if a table was available before our expected hour wait was finished. Once we got seated, we could tell just how busy it was - we had seen the staff pretty much running around like chicken with their heads cut off on a busy Saturday evening during dinner rush and a beautiful day, but just how busy? Most of the tables around us were without food or drink and clearly had been sitting there for a while.They are clearly understaffed for how many patrons visit, especially on nice days, and while we were patient and waited (can't say the same for some unempathetic pricks next to us) management may want to consider making service more manageable for both the staff and the patrons.I ordered a walleye sandwich, and while I want to say it was worth the wait, tastewise, it...really wasn't. It was huge, about the size of my face, but aside from having a nice light batter texture, there wasn't much seasoning at all. This is slightly remediated by adding tartar sauce, but my dish came out without it by mistake, and I had to wait until the server came by again to get some. In addition, the fillet wasn't well deboned, and I had a few small bones pop up as I took bites.The onion rings had a great taste though, and were perfectly fried with a light beer batter that didn't taste too greasy or heavy. I could've (and should have) eaten many more as that was the highlight of the food.All in all - come here for the views. At best, this place is a 2 star, but the pleasure of eating outside with Lake Pepin as your view makes it worth it.

Great food and drinks! Nice view of the marina and river. If in the area definitely worth the stop.
