Reviewed August 8, 2023

I went to Kelly O'Bryan's in Kamloops on Saturday August 5th with my sister and her boyfriend and my fiancée and I. Before going to the restaurant we searched up their menu and to look at pictures available of the food. We specifically went there...to get their extreme pachos. My fiancée and I ordered one together and another side (which we were also very disappointed by. $16 for four spring roll sized rolls is ridiculous) as we thought that would be enough of a dinner meal for us. When our extreme pachos arrived and my sisters boyfriends meal which was a burger with a side of extreme pachos, to say that I was highly disappointed and upset about the portion size was an understatement. Our pachos were the exact same size as my sisters boyfriends side on his plate. To pay $24 for 10 waffle fries and some toppings ontop was astonishing to me. I asked to speak to our server to confirm that this was indeed the "extreme pachos" he than proceeded to say, "yes" with also a look on his face insinuating that he's been asked this before. I asked if we could get a burger added onto our meal as this was not enough food for the two of us for dinner. The answer was yes but I was still very annoyed with the overall food portion. I proceeded to ask for the manager to discuss this and his costumer service behaviour was not one I would expect from a manager. I will not be going to another Kelly O'Bryan's restaurant as I understand that inflation of food has increased, however, both our appetizer and our "main meal" was insufficient and unsatisfying for the large price we paid.More

I have been going to this restaurant for thirty plus years. I have to say my last dinner there was disappointing. I had the prime rib with pachos which was great food as always but the downsized tiny cup of emerald isle sauce that came...with wasn’t enough for half the pachos. When I requested another dip they charged me $0.75. It’s not alot but have never been charged before when extra dip was needed when it came in a larger container. We also asked for salt and pepper which we got and five minutes later another waiter came and asks us if we still needed it as there are only two sets for the whole restaurant. Very disappointed there are alot of restaurants in Kamloops to choose. I won’t be back.More

Went for a nice family dinner and was disappointed. Service was great. My steak was dry and chewy with no seasoning. One person ordered the prime rib which was "okay." The only meal that was good is the Broccoli soup my daughter ordered. Won't be...going back anytime soon.More

Awful, dreadful plate of food, I ordered a steak sandwich and baked potato, the plate that came was one slice of bread with a small sad looking steak on top and a potato, the only other thing on the plate was a small raw piece...of cabbage as a garnish....where was the vegetables, or salad, or anything else with any kind of colour, I complained and was offered other items for my plate at an extra cost...come on you must be able to do better 😐More

Practically an empty restaurant with a million staff on and the wrist service we've had any where in a long time. The food was overpriced and very mediocre

We had order take out from Kelly O'Bryans. One bowl of soup and Pacho's for two. When we had arrived home from the restaurant, we were greeted with one small container for the soup and two small containers for the pachos. The order had costed...40 dollars with a 15% tip. For the money we had spent on it, we could have ordered from almost any other restaurant in town and gotten way more food than what they had served us today.More

There were 6 of us for lunch on August 7, 2021. Not one person had a wonderful or even good meal. Had to flag down a server to finally take out order. When it finally arrived, most of the meal was cold and tasted as...though it was prepared previously and then reheated in a mircowave and then sat until it was cold again and then served to us. The Caesar salad consisted of lettuce and 2 small croutons and they forgot to put most of the dressing on the salad. I could go on and on and the describe the short comings of everyone's meal, but what would be the point!! Kelly O's we expect better than this, especially at restaurant prices!!!!More

My son and I visited on St. Paddys day wanting to imbibe some green beer. Since we moved to Kamloops we have been hearing about their pachos, lattice fries instead of nacho chips. Well, save your money cuz we were so disappointed. The fries were...mushy not crispy at all but the worst part was a dearth of toppings. Green onions and very little cheeze....where was the green and red peppers, olives etc. To be honest the sauce was tasty but too little too late. Perhaps their other food is decent but we felt ripped off.More

This restaurant has been one of the best places to eat, for years. They have pacho's which are lattice style potatoes that are served with their house dipping sauce.. which is amazing in itself. They have a huge drink menu as well. The staff and...service are always goodMore

Normally we love this place but our last experience was very disappointing. Kilkenny chicken (our long time favourite) was horrible. Stringy, dry chicken and barely any sauce. It was also served borderline cold. Please sort this...we’d love to come back😊

We like to swing by Kelly O's for late night patchos.. with Emerald Isle Sauce...one of lifes happy pleasures ! When we have company from out of town, they often request a trip to Kelly O's. The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is fun...and upbeat. A little Irish pub, with great food.More

Went yesterday at about 1 pm . It was not busy at all. Daughter and her kids from Alberta visiting. Pachos for sure for my daughter, kids had basic kids meals. I had the #1 special wife had an appy. So a pretty easy order...I would think. But people on the street patio arriving after us got their meals before we did. Ours took over 30 minutes. WHY when it is mostly prepared ahead of time does it take so long to serve a basic lunch. Not going back.More
