raised chicken, local honey from Fesside's apiary and homemade desserts. The wine menu is curated, seasonal cocktails are available and there are 14 beers on tap.

O'Connor said she expects all of her diner locations to remain open.

Kelly O’s original location opened in Ross in 2003 and proved to be so successful that a second location was added in the Strip District. The diner has been featured on the Food Network’s “Diner, Drive In and Dives” program.”
