My husband had the four meat platter with the sides of roasted vegetables and roasted potatoes. He had pulled pork smoked turkey, chicken and ribs. I had the Reuben and tater tots. We had enough leftovers to take home for lunch for tomorrow. The servings were large. The food was good.

We have made a last minute booking, the restaurant is very nice to accommodate us even though we are a bit late. The food at Kelsey is delicious as usual. The service is good though there is a full house. I highly recommend this place.
