The Island House

Overall, if you have to eat here, lower your expectations a lot! Additionally make sure you get Morgan as a server, avoid Marisa at all cost! They claim food is homemade however it’s not exceptional by any means. For an explanation continue reading. We got a table instantly with about 30 minutes left for brunch. The menu didn’t have many options for people who don’t eat pork, so we decided to wait until lunch started. It took about 45 minutes for them to actually switch over from brunch to lunch, which is kind of crazy because they were supposed to start lunch at 12pm but didn’t get our food until 12:40. I would understand if the food was spectacular but it was alright. We were greeted by one waitress(Morgan) who brought us waters and menus, and another waitress(Marisa who was supposed to be our actual server) came to take the order. And then we never saw her again, except when the food came out cold. Our order did not come out as ordered, one had no coleslaw, and the bun was stale. The other order’s fries were cold, floppy and covered with so much salt it could’ve sent me to the hospital. When Marisa asked if we needed anything, we asked for ketchup, hot sauce, and a napkin. She never reappeared with any of those things. Instead, we had to ask the other girl, Morgan, who saved the day! But by the time the food was uneatable. We were also missing the sauces that were supposed to come with our food. This place is a JOKE but this is probably the best this island can offer. Morgan was essentially our waitress and got us everything we needed. She provided us good service. Marisa was absolutely terrible. We MIGHT have enjoyed the food if it wasn’t for the terrible service we received from Marisa.

Absolutely loved the food here. Your basics with an extra twist. The burger with pickled onions was great. We tried the deviled eggs but a little pricey for one whole deviled egg or 2 halves. Tried the soup with lamb, has some curry flavor to it but was very good. My friend tried the macaroni and it is definitely homemade and worth it. Tried the peppers with crab in it and that was also very good. For being on an island the prices were expected. I would definitely recommend trying. The service was also exceptional.

Food and service were excellent! Great outdoor dining and patio, got the strawberry lemonade which used their homemade strawberry vodka and was pleasantly not sweet. Also got the French 75 which was excellent. Chicken sandwich was huge and my boyfriend got the special of the day which only 4 were being made for the night - $35 for an incredible steak with shrimp!

This is the only place on Kelley’s Island to get authentic espresso. They pull a great shot and have my favorite drink, a traditional macchiato! The service is top notch and atmosphere is just as nice. Right on the main strip of division street- you won’t want to go anywhere else for your caffeine needs, unless you want to be disappointed. I highly suggest checking this place out! Stopped back for dinner and food was great as well.

This is the best place you will eat on the island! Take my word for it! The service was above and beyond. Every server and bartender was so friendly! They even brought treats out for our dogs. The food was the best quality and best tasting food we had all weekend. It was absolutely amazing. And to top it off they had a great, large selection of draft beers! We'll be eating here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day when we come back to Kelly's Island! Check out their coffee shop too! The nitro coffee was delicious.
