Kelly's Outer Banks Catering: Premier Seafood and New American Dining in Kill Devil Hills

We hired Kelly’s for the Friday night dinner before our son’s wedding in Kitty Hawk, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation. It was a gathering for our out-of-town guests and the bride’s family, and Kelly’s made it feel like a true celebration from start to finish. The food was phenomenal — perfectly fried chicken, tender pulled pork, creamy mac and cheese, delicious crab puffs, and fresh grilled veggies. The shrimp were a huge hit, and everyone was raving about the key lime pie (honestly one of the best we’ve ever had!) and the rich, fudgy brownies. The Kelly’s team was professional, friendly, and wonderfully accommodating. They made everything seamless so we could simply relax and enjoy time with family and friends. The setup was beautiful, the service was smooth, and the food—simply unforgettable. We can’t thank Kelly’s Catering enough for helping kick off our wedding weekend with such warmth and flavor. Five stars all the way!

Just had my sons' wedding catered by Kelly's. What an excellent decision that was. From the planning, the menu choices, the setting up, to the actual delicious food, it was first class all the way. Can't say enough good things about them. And, OMG, the food was so delicious.

Just got back from our week long trip to OBX and we are so happy we went with Kelly’s to cater 5 nights worth of dinners for 8 adults. The food was delicious and the deliveries were always on time! The food came hot and ready to go, serving utensils were also provided! Not having to worry about what was for dinner each night and who is doing the cooking/cleanup, was amazing and made our vacation even that more enjoyable. Thank you Kelly’s for everything! We will be sure to use you again on our next visit to the Outer Banks!

Planning a weeklong large family reunion can be stressful, but Kelly's OBX Catering made our nightly dinners easy and super yummy! They have a robust menu that included multiple vegetarian options to make it easy to plan diverse menus for a whole week's vacation. The food was amazing and kept our entire 40-person family happy and well-fed. Every meal was delivered on time and hot, thanks to the hot box use and our amazingly charming and sweet delivery guy, Mike. Our favorites were the lasagna, fried chicken, hushpuppies, taco bar, and fried & sauteed shrimp. The sweet potato biscuit add-on is a must!! I would highly recommend Kelly's to anyone that is ready to hit the easy button while on vacation.

We hired Kelly's Outer Banks Catering for our company retreat that we held at a rental house in Nags Head. The food and service were absolutely amazing. They delivered the food in large hot boxes so the seafood and other items would be warm when they arrived. They went above and beyond, leaving us the box for the night so we could take out the food as needed. All of the seafood tasted fresh, but the standout for me was the lobster mac and cheese. Also, they brought hush puppies and containers with butter and their personal blend of seasoning. Our leadership team raved about the experience and our company was grateful that we found Kelly's!

We used Kelly's Catering for a "Families Night Before the Wedding Gathering" Labor Day weekend. Mary Ann at Kelly's was easy and helpful to work with as we crafted the heavy appetizer menu. All menu items were delivered right on time via 2 outstanding staff. The food was attractively presented on disposable trays and platters. All items were delicious, and received a multitude of compliments by our guests. Kelly's was the most responsive when we shopped caterers, most other OBX Caterers were not. Highly recommend Kelly's for your catered event. BTW, Kelly's Restaurant was our go to dining out meal each summer in the OBX from the early 90's to about 2008.

I recently booked Kelly's for my wedding reception, and the food was outstanding! Not to mention, the customer service is top tier, the employees who delivered the food were so kind and helpful. Two of my favorite menu items were the spinach puff pastry and the crab cakes - seriously, the crab cakes are to die for, especially with the remoulade. I was planning a wedding from out of state, so it was very stressful, but Kelly's was so helpful in easing any concerns I felt. If you need to have an event catered, choose Kelly's!

If you're looking for a delicious and easy way to feed a large group, check out Kelly's! MaryAnn and the entire team were wonderful. Ordering was easy (with her offering great advice), the food was hot and ready on time, the team at the location pick up were so hospitable, and everyone loved the meal (esp. the fried chicken!). Kelly's is the perfect way to feed a large group with zero stress. I highly recommend them!
