Birthday brunch at Kelly’s Little Nipper! We’ve been meaning to check this place out for a while, and I finally made it one of my birthday wishes—and I’m glad we did. We grabbed seats at the bar (because of course we did), and were lucky to be served by the owner’s daughter, who was also training a new hire. Even after a late night, she didn’t miss a beat—friendly, efficient, and totally on top of things. Absolute rock star. The vibe here is eclectic and full of character—definitely a bit old and quirky, but clean and packed with personality. You can tell this place has seen its share of good times. Heads up: the floors are decidedly not level, so tread carefully! We kicked things off with some solid Bloody Marys—simple but done right. (Yes, I added a beer back. No regrets.) Kim ordered the Kelly’s Steak Sandwich ($16)—loaded, fresh, and delicious. I went for the brisket tacos ($15) with a side of onion rings (+$2). The tacos had great flavor thanks to the tender brisket, but they were a little heavy on the sauce for my taste. Still a solid pick. Being Sunday, we were treated to a free order of Kelly’s Corn ($6 value), with explicit instructions not to eat it too early and to try it with the house bread. We followed directions—and yes, it was delicious. The cook was super friendly, working hard in a very tiny kitchen, and even popped out to check on us a couple times. You don’t always see that level of attention. By the time we left, the place had really filled up—clearly a neighborhood favorite. We’ll absolutely be back. Pro tip: Check their website or social pages for live music nights. The outdoor venue looks awesome, and we were kicking ourselves a little for not planning around that. One small note to the owner: There were quite a few flies around the dining area—not terrible, but noticeable. They mostly kept to themselves, but still a bit off-putting indoors.

No frills, but a good time. We sat outside for lunch and enjoyed the Saturday bloody special ($3.50!!!). Split the chicken strips and a half order of onion rings, and both were solid. The rings definitely seemed like they were made in house and the patio underneath the shade of the giant tree made a really pleasant afternoon. Staff were super friendly and attentive, and I’d love to come back some time for their weekday happy hour. Also, bonus brownie bites for dessert? Yes please!

Stopped at Kelly's Little Nipper for St. Patty day. Atmosphere was festive with an Irish band. Beautiful day so we ate on the patio. Bacon wrapped tater tots,cheese balls,onion rings, burgers, shrimp with a salad and a BLT. Also had to try the custom mini beers!! Good food and great time as always.
