Kelly’s Cajun Grill

Who would think a place with Cajun in the title would serve bimbap? Well, pretty much no one. But, they do! Just look to the end of the restaurant. It’s a bit separated, but, it’s there. The portion is large, and the food is ok. Still, it’s nice to have the option for Vietnamese food at lunch.

Decent food, but this Kelly’s location is significantly more expensive than either the Union Station or Pentagon City locations. I’m used to paying $ 5.60-$ 6.15 for their chicken+ two sides combinations, and this location was pushing $ 8 for the same menu items. Maybe the location is to blame, but I don’t like being gouged with airport prices at a walk-​in fast-​food chain on a main road.

Out of all of the places in the food court I always go to Kelly’s. The service is great, the food is awesome, the prices are very low for the amount of food they pile on there. LOVE the bourbon chicken and red beans and rice, absolutely awesome food. I don’t know whats up with Vishnu’s review but the dude behind the counter is always pleasant as hell and very courteous.

I decided to check out the International Food Court one morning for breakfast in hopes to find an option that wasn’t so overpriced like the local chains in the area.
I ordered the Western Omelette with home fries, wheat toast and a small coffee (totalling to a little over $ 6). The portions were huge, but the omelette left a bad taste in my mouth. It was overwhelming with nearly a whole onion, red bellpepper and green bellpepper chopped in slices filling it with way too much onion and pepper taste. The ham slices inside were oddly seasoned. I couldn’t put my finger down on what it exactly tasted like… definitely not ham anymore. The home fries were okay and were on a bit of the dry, chalky side. The service was fast, but I do not appreciate being told by the owner to order a large coffee instead. Trying to pressure your customers into ordering something they said they don’t want is poor form. I definitely will not come back.

One of the worst meals I have ever had. The chicken was disgusting, and the service was rude.

Located in the downstairs food court in the 1850 K St International Square building, this place is pretty average.
They have a lunchtime special that changes daily, with two sides (either one of two different rice dishes and vegetables). I got the Tuesday special — Spicy chicken, the brown rice and steamed corn for less than $ 7, which is very reasonable.
Unfortunately, the chicken wasn’t that spicy and the sauce was a broth-​like consistency. Both the rice and corn were pretty bland, nothing to write home about.
They had a lot of other menu items, all at pretty good prices, so its worth checking out something different for lunch.
