My thoughts:
So it was St. Patrick's day and my companion and I were in the mood for some good ol' green beer (why not? You're only able to get coloured beer once a year!) We headed over to Archibald's Pub around 7:30 and not surprisingly, it was jam-packed, literally! We were both hungry and didn't feel like waiting around for a table and not even get any service, so we went to Kelsey's just down the street.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they had green beer, so we ordered a drink and mulled over the menu. We finally decided on an order of wings in "Hot n' Honey" (which is not listed in their online menu for some reason) and popcorn shrimp.
The wings were not bad. Personally, I think having experienced Archibald's Pub's deliciously fatty and juicy wings the week before might have influenced my thoughts on Kelsey's. Kelsey's were definitely much leaner and the sauce was not bad. As in the name, it is actually quite spicy.
The popcorn shrimp was mediocre on it's own, as it was way too much batter and very, very little shrimp. But it came with two dips, one of which was a creamy mustardy-looking dip, and the other a sweet Thai chili. I, being a big fan of thick, creamy, fatty foods (who doesn't, right? Haha), tried the creamy dip first and I didn't feel it did anything for the shrimp. The chili dip, on the other hand, was amazing! I had the rest of the shrimp with this. I definitely recommend this, with the chili sauce!
