Kelly’s Landing

Awful. I would have enjoyed fast food more and spent a lot less money. It’s a tourist trap bc of being right on the water. We had the fried shrimp, that had to come right out of a frozen bag. They were very bland. We also had the ribs. They smelled and tasted like liquid smoke. They were so dried out that I needed a steak knife to cut between them. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Better places out there.

Ok, so I have heard a lot of good things about this place from my parents and a couple of their friends, so I decided to make the trip to Greenville and give them a try. I have to be honest and say that I was very disappointed! For food I had the salad bar (best part of the meal) and a spinach artichoke pasta dish with grilled chicken. The salad bar was great but the meal went downhill from there.
Maybe it was just an off night for the waitress, but everything was extremely slow, even though the restaurant was half empty. It took almost an hour for us to get our food, and when we did my plate was lukewarm and the sauce was kind of crusty on the edges like it had been sitting out on the bar for a while before it was brought over. I was super disappointed because it looked great on the menu! Waitress did not clear menus and dirty salad dishes off the table at all and we didn’t get any refills on drinks (I only had water).
The worst part was when the Waitress brought a couple over to the table beside us and sat them down while the table was filled with dirty dishes from the party that had just left! The couple asked of they could move to another table and the Waitress told them that they should really sit there because it was a better view of the lake (it was). The Waitress then disappeared for a full 5 –10 minutes while they were just sitting there looking awkwardly at the dirty dishes and trying to keep their hands in their laps. To be honest, I was kind of grossed out and I really don’t think that I will be returning to this establishment again.

Dinner at Kelly’s was okay. I had the crabcakes with salad bar. The salad bar was very fresh and had great toppings and dressings. The crabcakes were my first ever so I am not sure how to rate them. They were okay. Not too oily and had a couple of real chunks of lobster. There was a line for getting seated. at 8pm at night! I think the crowd was due to the limited number of options in Greenville for dinner. this is early October (we are on a Fall Colors vacation) and the summer crowds are gone.

Another great experience at Kelly’s landing. Good service efficient and courteous. Food always good and daily specials but I never waiver from my lobster roll as always fresh and heaping with lobster. Daily specials vary from seafood to good old down home cooking which everyone loves. Average salad bar but always replenished and very fresh. Seating is good as tables not too close allowing good movement throughout restaurant.
Very rustic and on the water so access by car or boat. Always a stop for us when up in Moosehead Lake area as you can count on a good meal with no frills but good service and always at a good price.

Food is only OK, we had salmon, soup of the day, salad and cheese cake. Staff was friendly and but so slow… Still would go there again because of the view and the atmosphere on the deck.

The food is just ok and the service is terrible. It is clean and the view is outstanding. sit on the deck and when the Kate passes, if you have little kids at your tabke, the wait staff brings a dinner bell to the kids to greet the Kate. that is special.

Good food, with an amazing view! Especially beautiful in the early morning!

Don’t get the lobster crab cakes if you’re expecting lobster or crab. Small with lots of filler — to be the ‘specialty’…

For the area this was my favorite place easily. Went to Moosehead Lake for a Snowmobiling trip and hit Kelly’s. The food was really good, I had the Prime Rib Friday night and it was delicious with real mashed potatoes with butternut squash. My girl had the Salmon and she liked it alot. Finished with home-​made Cheesecake with Blueberry Sauce. We Liked it so much I went back Saturday morning on the snowmobile right back to Kelly’s for breakfast and it was perfect! Prices were very good as well! Thank you to all the Canadian guys who couldn’t stop staring at my wife. I guess you guy’s have never seen a pretty asian girl in real life before … Lol

We accidentally happened upon this gem when driving to ‘look for moose’. My husband and I ordered the seafood chowder to start. It was INCREDIBLE! One of my favorite meals of our entire vacation. I also had a reuben and french fries, both exceptional. You’d think reubens and french fries would just be ‘normal’, but they weren’t, they were great! But, the chowder and the meal don’t compare to their FANTASTIC desserts!!! My husband ordered their triple chocolate cake with raspberry drizzle, and I ordered their peanut butter pie with chocolate drizzle. They were amazing, amazing, amazing. I wish I could order their pie and ship it to Pennsylvania! It would be worth it! On top of the food, the service was also wonderful. This was our favorite restaurant by far.

Kelly’s Landing is a little off the beaten path which gives it its charm. The breath taking lake views and amazing breakfast selection keeps this place busy for every meal they serve.
The restaurant is literally only a few feet from the lake so every table has an amazing view. If you lean too far over the railing, you’re going for a swim!
We came very early in the morning just in time to see the fog lift from the water and the sun cresting over the trees. It was a relaxing and a beautiful way to start the day. The ducks were waiting for us in the parking lot hoping for scraps, even chasing a few children for their toast!
We ordered a bit of everything on the menu. I had breakfast potatoes with scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon strips on top and my friend got the breakfast sandwich special with a waffle. The portions were out of control! Everything was stacked high and almost falling off the plate. We had plenty of left overs even for the next day.
Service is slow but that doesn’t matter with the lake views and tall stories from the locals about the bear and deer they’ve hunted! Great, fun crowd!

Having used to work here washing dishes as a kid, and coming back to vacation a lot. This place is more or less a local joint. The food is pretty awesome, but usually the included sides are older or lackluster in some way.
If I had one recommendation, it would be to get the baked stuffed haddock, spritz some lemon on it, and give yourself a foodgasm. Seriously. I only order this when I come here and it’s been almost the exact same every time. Delicious. Pair it with a long trail on draft for the ultimate experience.
Update: last time we went this Sept, the haddock was maybe 85% as good as its been, so I guess my favorite dish isn’t as consistent. Sigh. But they have chipmunks running around on the porch trying to get nuts left for them which was awfully cute, and you get to see the khatadin honk as it goes by depending when you go.

This is the best in the area

During our two day stay in Moosehead we ate here twice because it was convenient, tasty and has a beautiful view! I had the prime rib with mushrooms which was pretty good! The service isn’t as slow as I expected from reading some of these reviews. Is the salad bar worth it? I think so. They’ve also got some good beer on tap. I’ve never eaten on the edge of a lake like that, so the view really impressed me too.

Daily special of lemon pepper grilled haddock was AWESOME! Baked lasagna was good, but could use more kick. The view is good, great if you sit outside. Salad bar is minimal (by city standards) and pricey, but will suffice if you must have bunny food.
Service was fast and friendly. Dessert was good.

Food matches the price. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with canadian bacon and swiss cheese. The fries were a little too Mickie-D’s for me, and like the other reviewer, the Artichoke dip in a bread bowl was a crowd pleaser.

My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch one day. Great view on the water. Pros: Friendly service. Artichoke dip with bread bowl. Got the lobster roll which was good but not that big. Meat loaf special with mashed potato someone cafeteria-​ish. Good beer selection and some good specials.
