We just went in for a cold beer and they sure delivered. Atmosphere is a cozy Irish pub. No frills. Lots of locals, food looked good. If we're back in the area we will try the food next time!

I'm a sucker for a good meal in an old building! Kelly's Gingernut Pub serves up comfort pub style food in a historic building that used to be a bank. The charm of the old brick adds tons of character. We popped in for lunch on a rainy day. We tried a little bit of everything but my favorite by far was the chicken stew which was the soup of the day. It had the perfect balance of spice and comfort! Our server was really sweet and completely doted on our ever need. Check them out if you're in the area!

This was one of our favorite places in Cape Charles, and we visited almost every day. In addition to having great Irish/English food, they had a very well appointed bar that included a lot of great draft beers. My favorite food there was the fish and chips, and I would highly recommend both that and the plate of onion rings. It's a very large place, and we were always able to find a spot at the bar, even on Saturday afternoon. The bartenders were fast and very helpful (my wife often has trouble finding the perfect drink). You should definitely stop here if you are in town.

Our meal here was not great. The shepherd's pie seems like it's made with cream or milk (in the meat layer) which was odd to me and not to my liking. I suggest they mention it on the menu since this might not be appealing to some guests. I couldn't eat it.

Large portions and great taste! The service was good. My Shepherds Pie was enough for three meals. My husbands salad was amazing and his Reuben was as well.

A nice cozy Irish pub near the beach in Cape Charles. They have a good selection of draft beer with some imports and local brews - I got the Old Speckled Hen and my wife had a Stone IPA.The crab dip appetizer was excellent. I tried the Fisherman's Chowder which was also great. I was definitely full after a bowl!

Been here before a few years ago and here we are again. Beer selection is still great and the atmosphere in the bar is super casual. Their menu was and still is excellent with friendly staff.When we went, we waited a while for a server as we sat outside and eventually the barman took over for us. He was great and the food was excellent. Smithwicks is great but also try old speckled hen as it's fantastic and is hard to find on tap. Pro tip: ask for OSH as bottom part of Black and Tan. Flavour beertown.ahoy.I have seen complaints about service which are fair as they are sometimes short on wait staff, this is common all over still. Many including my favorite Prescott Brewing Company in Arizona closed this year after many decades. It's a hard business but Kelly's keeps going and making good food. Go and enjoy their great food and beer. Maybe grab a hat to keep the sunburn off, knowing you are helping a small business .

I ordered the Reuben Sandwich after seeking for years to find the one I had in a pub, many years ago. This one came at about a good or even better. It was huge, and lots of meat which was tender and juicy. I loved it. I should have shared it with my wife because I could not eat all of it.Service was great, Sarah was very accommodating. The pub itself seems to have been. Once upon a time at bank. We walked through the vault door to our seating. Quaint small good beer, I had a Guinness Stout. Highly recommend this place.Stephanie

What a neat restaurant tucked away inside what appears to be an old bank building. We ordered the steamed shrimp and they were perfectly cooked and decent size. The service was attentive without being intrusive and i loved that they had an option to tip the kitchen staff specifically if you enjoyed your meal. Most restaurants ignore their back-of-house staff when it comes to appreciation. Love that they recognize them and allow the customers to do so if they wish.
