Kelly's Jamaican Foods - Jamaican restaurant in Athens - 1583 S Lumpkin St, USA

Rating: 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5. This place has good food for a reasonable price. The spicy chicken is extremely spicy 🌶️ 🥵 I enjoyed that. They do have options that’s are less spicy or aren’t spicy.

This was my first time visiting here. Sandy was my attendant and she was so very kind and welcoming. She allowed me to taste test and view all the food before making my choice. Sandy was very patient and informative. I chose the jerk chicken beans n rice corn bread and green beans. I downed it all with a sweet tea. This is a great meal. The next time I wanna get the jerk pork mac n cheese with collard greens and corn bread. Thank you Sandy for giving me a great experience.

Jerk Chicken is great. Spicy cabbage is spicy with a lot of flavor, and the collard greens were perfect. Atmosphere is simple and functional. Bob Marley on the stereo. Will be back.

My boyfriend and I tried Kelly’s for the first time today and WOW! We were so impressed. We are quite the foodies and love to try new things and this place definitely falls into my top 10. We shared a large plate of jerk wings which were perfectly spicy and juicy and fell right off the bone. The rice was spiced and delicious and covered in jerk chicken gravy. The Mac n cheese was also amazing. The corn bread was so moist and sweet it was almost like cake! I’ll definitely be back and encourage everyone to try this place out.

Listen, the food is oh-so-good, and the restaurant was well-kept. However, the customer service is subpar. Think this each time you go, “people will go back to a restaurant for great customer service WITH subpar food.” For me, experience is everything, and I can’t fathom going back for the latter. The five stars are for the food. Try ATHENS Kelly’s Jamaican cafe for fantastic customer service and finger-licking good Jamaican food!

We tried Kellys for the first time today and I immediately wanted to punch myself for not eating here sooner. Everything we ate here was incredible and very unique to other food available in Athens. The prices are pretty reasonable for the sheer amount of food they give you, they don't know how to skimp on the sides. If you come here, you have to do yourself a favor and try some of the drinks they have available, they're as good as the food!!

I’ve been sampling the fare at Kelly’s for years now. Let me just tell you ~~ one of the best and authentic Jamaican cuisine I’ve ever had. I’ve never had a bad meal. Their pattys are phenomenal. My personal favorite is jerked pork. And, to boot, their portion sizes are excellent. Oh, and the owners are SUPER good people.

My first time trying Kelly's. I must say that food were good but a little spicy for me. I had a veggies plate of rice and beans, cabbage and plantain. The cabbage was sweet and spicy too me but good. Might I say the customers service were on point.
