Kelsey's Atlantic city

"There’s almost always ‘90s R&B music playing in Kelsey’s, and that’s only one of the reasons to come to this laid-back comfort food restaurant. The soul food options you’ll find at weekend brunch, like shrimp and grits or chicken and waffles, will revive you after a long night of partying—plus fuel you up to persevere through whatever else Atlantic City throws your way. Kelsey’s is also the type of place that’s filled with energy on a Sunday morning, but low-key enough to bring a date for dinner. Just make sure to reserve ahead of time, as tables can be tough to come by. " - anne cruz

"Whether your evening ended with late-night discussions of how the TikTok algorithm knows you better than your significant other or a sensible 11pm nightcap and face mask, you’ll want to make your way to Kelsey’s for the soul food brunch buffet in the morning. Tap into the party spirit once more and vibe to ‘90s R&B or whatever the DJ is spinning with a mimosa in hand. While some people will be dancing at their tables or in the aisles, you’ll see others feasting on shrimp and grits with the gusto of a kid let loose in a candy shop—we support both journeys. Grab some chicken and waffles and prepare yourself for whatever else Atlantic City throws your way, whether you plan to drive home or stay another night to catch an Earth, Wind & Fire concert. " - anne cruz
