Kelly's Craft Tavern

During these times, you just got to get out sometimes. This IS the place. They have got their act together. As soon as I walked in, I felt safe. Safe enough to sit at the bar. I got the opportunity to meet the sweetest bartender who was jumping hoops to make sure everyone was happy and content. Amanda. Pure sweetness. The food?? To die for. Comfort food, Tex Mex, appetizers galore. We got the mushrooms...plenty to share. Then we shared the Chicken fried steak dinner... Again enough to share and plenty to take home for his lunch the next day. I will be back. I will bring my family. I will hang by myself. It was awesome. Oh, btw. Jess. I'm thinking he is management...he was a joy to meet and talk to. He made us feel very special. The place was rocking and he still took the time to get to know us. Well done, Jess! Well done!!

This is one of the first places I fell in love with after moving to TX. I've been here a few times, always for dinner between 6pm-8pm. It's never completely packed so you simply seat yourself. Lately, I've been sitting at the bar a lot.

The staff is easy to talk to and attentive. I like to sample three beers before choosing one. The staff has made some spot-on recommendations based on examples of what I like which is great because I love finding new favorites! Their rotating list of craft beers is awesome and I always find something to enjoy.

For entree, I've ordered the shrimp Alfredo with garlic bread 9/10 times. You can get the shrimp grilled or blackened. The sauce is more oily than creamy, but I still like it flavor-wise. And the garlic bread is perfectly toasted.

However, I visited around 10pm recently and it seemed like the quality of the food went down even though they didn't close until 2am. My shrimps were blackened and charred to the point the whole dish tasted burnt. I don't like returning food, especially not shrimp. That's like 5-6 shrimp lives right there. My boyfriend ordered the BBQ plate and everything (sausages, pulled pork, fries) was lukewarm. Even the marshmallow dip was colder than usual. Though I'm sure they would have been happy to fix it if we had said something.

Hoping that was a one-time thing. Every experience we've had prior has been great thus far. For this reason, I would come back and continue to recommend this place.

Have seen this place a couple times driving by. Me and the wife decided to try it out.
Beer selection is AMAZING. We aren’t too knowledgeable when it comes to craft beer, luckily our server Jeff knew quite a bit and pointed us in the right direction. We split their Southwestern Burger. Absolutely LOVED it!
Food was great, service was better.
Think we’ve found our new hangout spot!

We have had a few family celebrations at Kelly’s since they opened and I cannot say enough how fabulous they are! The food and the service are excellent. What made it so awesome this last time was that my sister accidentally reserved the private room and a dinner for 35 people at the location in Allen not Frisco. So when we all showed up at Frisco they were not expecting us. The manager Parker was so kind and understanding and welcomed us.
They happily said “come on will make it work”. and proceeded to provide a lovely evening for us! The service provided by Dan and Natasha was top notch and the food, that we surprise the kitchen with, was amazing! What a professional group of people and we are very thankful for them!

My in-laws really enjoy eating at this restaurant. I think it is good but the prices at a tad high.

The burgers are really delicious! My wife and I split the Allen Burger and I have had the Southwest Burger and both are mouth watering greatness.

I tried their Garbage Punch (pictured) and it was not the greatest. Tasted like water down Gatorade. I wish I would have had something different

The chips and queso appetizers are great. The dip was really creamy and melted in your mouth. My in-laws and their friends really like the ‘Cookie Monster’ desert they offer.

My wife also likes the brisket nachos. The chips are homemade and it is good, but just not my thing

The only bad thing is they get really busy on Fridays and we do get ignored at times, especially on drink refills. Other than that a good place to grab a bite to eat.
