Professional and Helpful

I cannot begin to say enough good things about my experiences with Kelly’s OBX catering in Nags Head NC. My son’s wedding in Nags Head was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid, yet they went ahead and got married in an intimate ceremony in their home town. They along with his brother and wife now have small infants and we did not think having a rehearsal dinner in a restaurant would make sense. Despite my last minute planning Mary Ann from Kelly’s squeezed us in for catering our rehearsal dinner at the Inn where we were all staying in Nags Head. Mary Ann was a pleasure to work with and went out of her way to help us with logistics and planning. The staff that set up the food the night of our dinner were so kind and helpful. The portions of food were generous. Everyone at our rehearsal dinner enjoyed their food. I received so many compliments on the Broiled Seafood, Fried Chicken and side dishes that accompanied the meal. One continuous statement from guests was the “Best Fried Chicken ever! “

Definitely a 10/10!

Kelly’s was always responsive to any calls or emails I had. The food was absolutely delicious! There is not anything that wasn’t outstanding in taste. Guests at the wedding also told me how great the food was. The staff did an excellent job from setting up, to serving to cleaning up and taking down.

Excellent service, highly recommend

Kelly’s Catering went absolutely above and beyond for us. The food was truly incredible, everyone was raving about it, especially the shrimp and grits which I HIGHLY recommend. All of the staff members were excellent, they never let anyone go without a drink or food. The bartenders made the best drinks and were very hospitable. Tables stayed cleaned and clear; glasses, silverware, plating were all beautiful. Truly couldn’t be more happy with our experience especially in the midst of a tropical storm!
