Kelly's Half Shell Pub

Love this place!! We come here every time we visit Hernando FL. We love their lobster fries and dry rub chicken wings. Service is always excellent! The casual ambiance is perfect for us to come in at any time of the day. We made a stop for lunch on Valentine's Day and restaurant was giving out roses to ladies. That's really sweet.

Passing by while returning from the Hurricane Milton evacuation, I stopped in for lunch. I had the fish and chips, which was very good. The fish filet was huge and breaded just right. The service was excellent and the prices were fair.Like the Terminator, I'll be back.

Average brownie 5/10, but amazing lobster bisque soup! I would come back to try different items.

Seafood at a pub?! Kelly's has to be one of the best places in town to eat. Big portions, nice waitstaff, fresh seafood - all while being in an IRISH PUB?! Very glad we stumbled in.We tried about every app we cold, and the garlic fried shrimp & the Ruben egg rolls (with fresh horseradish like our wonderful waitress suggested) were the standout.They seem to have a good happy hour but we didn't get there quite early enough. Others got the Kelly burger (very big, pretty good), the ahi tuna (good fish overall but the toppings were a bit much) and the charbroiled oysters (big and very good!).Waitress kept our drinks full which was great after a long day out on the water, we NEEDED water. Good spot!

Always love the food here. We mainly come for the Oysters. Oysters are always fresh. Disappointed to see they removed all of the oyster options from the menu leaving only raw and two others. Not the best ones either. Won't be coming back as often now. Hope they reconsider this as "oyster" is in the name after all. Off to find our new oyster stop.

Stumbled upon this restaurat and a review of Yelp decided to have lunch here. Kelly's is located in strip mall with limited seating inside. When I arrived it was "seat yourself" and the only option was a 6 person bar height wood table which was in the middle of the restaurant and you can easily smell any cigarette smoke coming from the front entrance of the restaurant - very off putting.Serive was slow and left me wondering why it took so long to order and have drinks ( a soda & waters) served. Items ordered - 1/2 dozen raw Oysters on a half shell, the Oysters were of good size with enough of the "liquor" still in the shell however upon eating my last Oyster a good size worm emerged from the Oyster. I brought this to the attention of another server since I couldnt locate my server. The Oysters were removed and when our server came by I mentioned the worm to her and she advised that she is not surprised there was a worm since the Oyster came from the ocean. I have eaten plenty of raw Oyster from all over East to West Coast and have never had a worm or any other creature come out. The Oyster's were removed from our tab. Lobster Fries with Chili Garlic Aioli sauce on the side. The Lobster Fries were served in cast iron skillet. Fries were crispy and covered in melted cheese with bits of Lobster. The Lobster Roll Maine style was also served in a cast iron skillet with fries under the roll. The Lobster Roll lacked flavor and needed more Old Bay Seasoning.Guinness Clams tasted mostley of the Guinness and overpowered the clam taste. The Clams were suppose to be served with Cuban Bread however it was not served with the clams, our server stated they were making fresh one but she forgot to bring it out and the bread was finally served after we were finished eating.Unfortunately I won't be returning

Always amazing! And they just expanded their menu. The Belfast Brownie is a MUST try!

What a wonderful Irish pub. Food is very good. Service is excellent. Restaurant is clean, which is always important. Very friendly staff as well. Just a cool place to get something to eat and a few drinks.

I don't know where to start. We were seated at the bar by request. The bartender was quick to great us and serve us drinks. The back bar was decorated well with bottles and the lights were on the dim side I always like that. The food was the star of the show. The wedge salad was so delicious. The fish and chips were also top shelf. I think we found our new go to place. We will be back.

We were always happy with the food at kellys. This trip we were served oysters that were loaded with vinegar. We should have sent them back.We will never go again. The next day we went to Crumps in homosassa and the meal was not only cheaper but fantastic.John
