Kelz in Middlesbrough

Kelz restaurant is now Craft Burger Smash Burgers Loaded Fries Naga Donner

We had breakfast here today (6 of us) and the food was absolutely amazing! Best iced coffees in Budapest.

went here last week. i was vibing but it was suba empty and cold

Didnt hate this place,it's now closed, the proprietors retired. Always lovely when open.

Eww this was so bad the parmo looked like a duck badbadbabdabd

Decided to order a couple of parmos from Kelz and we were not disappointed, please note the garlic dip is not included in the price, we did message and ask if they accepted card payment and they said they did, when we phoned the order through the next day they informed us that it was cash only. Apart from that a good place to try

Not as good as it use to be sorry

I'm really gutted I'm writing this post as I really like to support local business's. Kelz used to be lovely, it's been a few year since my last visit. We went for Sunday lunch. As we walked in we where greated by a really poor 90'style decor and terrible atmosphere and uncanny rock music playing. I ordered a cottage pie. It arrived. Honestly i cannot describe how it looked.. Iv had a better airplane meal.. It truly was awful. NO PRIDE WHAT SO EVER. If there is no pride in food you shouldn't serve food. My main concern the next day I have got terrible food poisoning from that microwaved heated food. Parts where cold parts, parts warm and the middle was piping hot. I would never leave a statement like this but iv been to the Dr's in agony and cannot leave the toilet. I swear I will never eat here again.

I have visited Kelz several times over the last year or so and it has never failed to deliver. However, can’t help but feel a little bit misled after last nights visit.Kelz did an offer several months ago 2 parmos for £12 (eat in)I rang Kelz to see if the offer was still on. I was told by a member of staff that it was. On arrival I double checked again with the staff only to be told that the offer was now only available for the takeaway menu. So with 2 hungry kids I had no option but to stay and pay £10 per Parmo plus drinks.I appreciate that this is the going rate for parmos but did feel slightly misled given that I had rang and asked before hand. Could be a mis communication? Food lovely as per usual. Staff friendly and helpful but wasn’t expecting to spend so much!

It has been many years since my last review at Kelz. I recently came back to visit and I can happily say that the quality of their parmos has maintained the years. Still as tasty and amazing as ever. The chips are extremely tasty and thick too. Large garlic sauce tastes very nice too.It is disappointing that they stopped their groupon offer though as that is what I would normally come in to redeem. Definitely a good option as a nice treat for yourself though. Friendly atmosphere and staff, although the decor could be updated as it is far from modern and does give you the feeling of "old".

Friendly service and excellent food and very good prices

I consider myself a competent cook, so to find a place that cooks as well as this, on my doorstep is a delight.I challenge you to find a fresher, tastier Parmo on teesside and to find a friendlier welcome. First class and now our go-to place to eat - fantastic!!

Coffee roasters who also serve coffee you can drink at benches outside.

Lovely little restaurant, very tasty food, good service, great value .

Sunday lunch was absolutely gorgeous today. Piping hot and more than enough to eat. If you haven't been get yourself there, you won't be disappointed :)

Great food, great service, always welcoming and very well looked after.

Lovely our Kelly. Foods not bad either xxx

Great food and friendly service.

Fantastic food and genuine service family birthday meal was no trouble for them loved the fact we were not rushed off either thank you Keltz

Lovely food, really surprised this place isn't busier than it is, we have tried food in and the parmo take out (2 for £12), the best parmo I have had in a long time! lovely proper chips, really great place.

We visited this restaurant in March.,to take advantage of the early (until 6pm)menu but on arrival decided on a parmo.They have a good parmo menu,about 8 different types.We had a plain and a hotshot they were both excellent.The service was good and friendly.The drinks were reasonably priced.an excellent experience.

Great food and excellent service

one of the best restaurants in town, parmos are amazing, everything is amazing! love going here and the staff are fantastic!

Visited here early evening recently as it has been quite a while since we had been. No more 'Groupon' offers now and the prices had been increased quite dramatically, the justification for this was because of competition from Olivellos and Central Park. These places are nothing like here, they don't have ripped chairs, mis matched table mats, better décor etc - this is not in the same league at all. The starters were quite nice but that's where it ended. The Cajun Chicken was so spicy and salty it was hardly edible, the Onion rings were bordering on burnt, the Parmo had way to much Béchamel Sauce on it that it had to be scraped off. All in all very disappointing and certainly not worth the increased prices.

Very nice Sunday lunch. Pleasant place, quick service.

Beautiful food...great service.... Thankyou

Gorgeous Sunday dinner well worth it

Friendly and helpful staff. Food was absolutely delicious. Prices are very reasonable. Tables outside if wanted. Only problem I think is that it isn't wheelchair friendly.

Friendly and fast service. Gorgeous food and home made chips too! Delicious and very filling. And excellent prices! Highly recommended.

Lovely home cooked meals from Sunday roasts to Parmos.

Had a few meals here and it's always a pleasure. The food is nice and great value, the staff couldn't be nicer and will do all they can for you should you not be happy. Will be going again

we tried the parmos for a takeaway a couple of weeks ago and were impressed so went for tea with the kids tonight. couldn't fault anything it was absolutely delicious . 5 of us had drinks and mains and sweets and it was all under 60 quid and worth every penny. the waiter apologised for the wait for our sweet order but he didn't have to, it was a 10 minute wait( max ) which we needed to recover from the mains any way. definitely going back , excellent value and highly recommend the parmos.

Came here for Sunday lunch in a large group. The service was good and staff were nice but the place was so run down definitely needs a make over and the food was terrible. Not one thing had any taste to it even my little boy wouldn't eat it. The mash was so lumpy and the roast potatoes were obviously frozen ones, even the veg was bland and tasteless. Dessert was better but still feel disappointed spending so much. The parmos looked nice I'd maybe try them.

Nice food, plenty of choices, competitive prices and pleasant staff and surroundings.

Love this place for the food. It's a bit dated decoration wise but well priced.

Parmos are flawless here .. 2 for 12.95 I think it was and was really worth the midday visit. Would deffonatly visit again

We went here for a Sunday lunch, food lovely and unlike a lot of places they serve roasts and a few other options from there comprehensive menu available on a Sunday which made my little lad happy as he got a parmo. The staff lovely very friendly, only been with family but would say ideal for bigger groups as well, value for money would definitely recommend the parmo loads of different types.

Best Patmos in Boro! Great value! Staff are lovely! Lived in Linthorpe for about 10 years before I even tried this place now I’m there more regularly than the staff 😂

Staff very friendly and great with kids

Have been here many years ago, pleasantly surprised at how well it is still doing. Had a good range of meals at a affordable price, also offered a takeaway service. It was quiet when we were there but it was only 5.30pm

Have been here a few times Lovely food and excellent Parmo, will be trying here again. Great service and price.

Decor could do with a update. Worn & tired looking furniture. Food was ok!

excellent food and staff very friendly

I've had lots of meals here that have always been good however we ordered a takeaway. My husband had the parmo and I had the chicken Diane but It made me ill. I hadn't had anything else all day and my husband was fine so can only blame that. Hopefully just a one off but don't think I will go again unfortunately.

We had a birthday meal booked for 25 people, 8 of which were kids. The kids were each given colours and paper to keep themselves entertained. 2 of the kids didnt want to try their pizza once it arrived so they happily made more nuggets for them. Everyone enjoyed their meal and there was plenty of it. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. the prices are very reasonable. Will defo be going again. nice relaxed atmosphere

Visited tonight with family members for a 70th birthday , staff were lovely and very helpful, the food was excellent . Thank you for a lovely night .

I visited Kelz with a friend for the first time just before Christmas. We only wanted coffee and a snack, but there was a pleasant selection of food at a reasonable price.

Lovely food. Been here many times and always really tasty. Would recommend to all. Thanks for a great meal.

Absolutely beautiful parmo and chips to die for will be back.

Beautiful as always. My 10yr old boy asked to go for his birthday family dinner all five of us really enjoyed our meals.

Went here tonight 2 adults and a child staff were great very friendly relaxed atmosphere. Food was tasty came out nice and hot presented well good portion sizes... only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that my first choice of scampi (surf and turf) they had ran out of. Will go again

Nice place, lovely food and great service

I recently visited kelz on Friday with my family to celebrate a birthday. The food here is excellent proper home cooked food. Great value for money too. This place couple do with a update decor wise but don't let this put you off it's well worth the visit.

Kelts is a very friendly restaurant, with the best Parmesans in middlesbrough we highly recommend it

I've been going to Kelz for years and can say 100% that I have never had a bad meal there whether I've been for lunch, dinner or Sunday dinner.

Absolutely love this place. Nice atmosphere, Great pleasant service, really good value and the food is always spot on too !! Visited a few times and never been disappointed yet

Go here and get a really good meal. Lots of choice and good pricing. The food is well cooked well presented and the staff are great friendly polite staff . When i come up home we go in there knowing your getting a great meal. Well recommended go you will not be disappointed

Great place to visit day or night. Bit difficult to find which makes you feel like your in an exclusive club.

Very good lunchtime value; quick service and tasty food.

Parmasan's from here are lovely with homemade chips and salad highly recommend you get 2 for £12 on collection only

Visitamos aquí bastante temprano en la noche y el lugar era bastante tranquilo. Pero. . . . . La comida era increíble y a un precio razonable y el personal era fantástico, volveremos. Ya he recomendado a algunas personas

Tienen unas cuantas veces servicio visied Kelz brilliamt. Personal muy atento y amable. Encantador y bien presentado comida bien preparada y a un muy buen precio. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Tienes un montón en su plato todo comida buena y fresca. ¿Qué más se puede pedir? ? ? No tengo ninguna queja. Y yo viajamos 55 millas para esta comida cuando visitaba parientes

Had a 3 course Sunday lunch hear a couple of times and have had tea 4/5 times, food has always been nice staff are friendly and are happy to help.

Service was awful the lady kept looking over with a fowl look she was very moody and stroppy. The young lad who worked there was very attentove and polite and gave a good service but felt like he was put under loads of pressure from the older stroppy lady who kept looking over at him fouly and customers. The parmos we ordered where disgusting and the chips where over cooked the cutlry we ate from looked dirty. The place is very outdated and could do with a few improvements as it looks like ot hasnt been done since the 80s.

Great food and pleasant and friendly staff. We regularly go when visiting family and the parmo's never disappoint and don't forget the garlic mayo!

Always loved this hidden gem in Middlesbrough. Never a let down and great Staff. Couldn't ask for more in a place.

The best chicken Parmo I would say in the area . Perfect and tasty . Accompanied by a nice bowl of home made chips. Drinks slightly expensive all drinks mainly from bottles. Nothing on draught .Would recommend a parmo from here . Most definitely

great chicken parmesans! large portion with chips and salad. served nice and hot. service good and friendly. will definitely go back

If you like parmos, you got to go here. Place could maybe do with a makeover but the food was probably the best i have had when it comes to parmos and the chips were really nice and the salad as it shoud be. Cant wait to go back 10/10

I guess you go to eat out because of the food, surroundings just make the experience more enjoyable. this restauarant also has a 5 rating for cleanliness. The onbly person serving did a really good job, but was struggling a bit to keep up with cleaning the tables as well as all the orders. We had a parmo and chips. The parmo was great. all served piping hot: - tasty chicken, crispy bread crumbs, well cooked bechamel and just enough cheese. chips were a bit naff, I don't like black bits and eyes in the food, but it was delicious. You are told in advance there is a charge if you want garlic mayo, rather than being surprised at extra costs on the bill. the restaurant is drab and looks overdue a makeover and there is a ventilation problem as there is a greasy smell throughout. It is a busy spot, even mid week and they have clearly found a niche in the market as most of the customers had come for a parmo, some ordering takeaways too. I will definitely go again as they offer a great value loyalty scheme for their famous dish

The food is always well presented ,plenty of it and it always tastes good.The staff are polite and friendly and nothing is a problem to them .It always has a pleasant feeling whilst eating there.They do a good variety of food you won't be leaving hungry,the prices won't empty your wallet.

Amazing food. Very tasty. Brilliant prices. The best parmo in Teesside without a doubt

Kelz is a lovely place to eat out with great prices and friendly staff. The Parmos are perfect every time and one of the best I've had. Defiantly give kelz a try if you are a Parmo lover you won't be disappointed.

I purchased a deal through Groupon to visit Kelz Restaurant and for me and my friend to eat their Award Winning 5* Parmo (Reviewed by The Parmo Hunters). I've wanted to taste a 5* parmo for quite some time as I had recently found out that the regular place where I purchase my parmos was only rated 2*.Original atmosphere and ambiance was nice and cosy. It's a pretty down to earth place. Me and my friend decided to go at 3pm as we wanted a time that would be quiet so we could enjoy our meal. When we were served, the member of staff was very friendly. I ordered a hotshot parmo without some ingredients and I received the perfect order. Nothing wrong whatsoever. About 8 minutes after my order was placed, my meal was already ready (it was not busy at this period). The food was delicious. Nothing less than that. The parmo's peppers were rich in flavour whilst maintaining a good level of "crunch". The parmo was a perfect colour, golden brown on the bottom, good cheese amount of Bechemel and cheese too. The red onions on the parmo was a definite positive. Adds a nice bit of flavour and crunch to the meal. The wedges were perfect. Exactly how I like them, crunchy and crispy. Can't fault them. The salad was nice. Good portion of salad with this meal.The photo on the Groupon advert definitely needs updating. No way does it do justice with what you get in reality. The woman that served us the food was extremely nice and she ended up getting in a picture with my friend. Very pleasant staff, perfect food, good ambiance. + Pleasant staff+ Very hygienic+ Best parmo I've ate so far in my life+ Good speed of delivery from placing the order to receiving the order. + Garlic sauce was delicious. Good in consistency. + Good ambiance- 80's style music. Not my type but I'm just trying to pick out any faults at all that I can, but honestly I'm struggling to as the overall experience was perfect. Overall rating:5/5I would definitely recommend.

Hi,we decided to purchase two parmos chips and scampi and chips the food was lovely and fresh and tasted fantastic my daughter commented it was the best parmo shed had in a long while and I would have to agree.the service was spot on.will definitely be back.

I felt like we were rushed out of the door, also was left unattended for a long time food was OK but drinks were too expensive.The service was also very much like the waitress was in a mood and did not enjoy her job and did not clearly explain the offers and deals and there was not much choice for children's meals either..I would not recommend this as the service is poor and food is mediocre defiantly wont be going back again.

We went in for Sunday lunch and as usual the food was gorgeous and plentiful and the staff were friendly and helpful. We've visited before and will be doing so again.

very old but food OK cheap quality, had mouldy lettuce on parmo salad that came with it. defiantly hasn't been updated , toilets really bad, towels for people to dry hands on? very 1980s

We ordered, to take away, the lady behind the bar, who apparently used to run it, had no interest in serving us, it was like a chore to her. And the way she spoke to the other staff was terrible. The other staff were nice.We paid and left, after she almost threw the food in our direction.

I hadn't been for at least 5 years and my fiancé had never been, as it was a meal for our anniversary we were apprehensive about our choice as we wanted it to be nice. Kelz surpassed all of our expectations, swift professional service and beautiful food! Also joined in with our conversation were warranted which was nice. My partner said it was the nicest patmore he's had in a long time. I've recently became a vegetarian so I'm always worried there won't be anything for me but I needed have worried. I got a broccoli and mushroom lasagne and it was so tasty!We said straight away we'd be back again :)

Had a lovely meal once again at kelz, always great service & food. Would recommend to anyone! Parmos are big & tasty, fresh home cooked chips & lush salad. Great value for money

Well, 2 of us walked in on a Saturday night at around 8pm ish and the place was empty. We asked for a table for 2 and the woman who greeted us stood and took a good look around the restaurant before deciding on a table we can sit at, we thought some of the tables were pre booked, but no other people came in all night. The lady took our drinks order promptly, we both wanted a glass of wine and were abit disappointed that they only had 1 bottle of red wine to offer, it was quite nice though. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and chicken goujons for start, both really good value for money and tasted really nice. We ordered rump steak and lamb shank for mains. Again both nice, but it would have been nice to have been offered mash potato with the lamb. It was also a bit odd that there was a tomato with the lamb, soaked in mint gravy. The customer service got better throughout the meal. No courtesy check throughout the starters, but was while we were eating our mains. We asked to split the bill at the end and pay half each, a simple request. But the woman said "one of you can pay this and the other can pay this". The food was nice and would like to try their parmos so may order for take out, but doubt we will visit again for a meal.

best parmo ever and tried many believe you me ! great fast service great value will be back thumbs up!!

We had Sunday dinner using a Groupon voucher. we paid for starters and drinks very reasonably priced. The roast beef dinner I had was a very large meal and the beef was very good. The wife enjoyed her chicken dinner. The service was of the highest standard.

We decided to do a groupon here after the good reviews I read. The place resembles a cheap cafe which is ok providing the food is good enough. I had the roast dinner and my partner the scampi and chips. The scampi was average and the roast beef was also average. It was the mash that really let it down, watered down too much and no flavour whatsoever. The veg was well cooked but no taste and the gravy was average and barely covered the meat. The whole quality of the food was very disappointing and belonged in a greasy spoon cafe. The best thing about this place was the staff who was very polite but looked seriously overworked. I think it must have been the owner or manager who collected my money without a smile which put the icing on the cake.Not recommended and will never return, despite being given a card for 2 for1 offers.

In fairness the service was lovely , but it really needs updating and cleaning correctly . Toilets are minging .Food was pretty bad . Food and premises are seriously dated which reflected in the clientel in there .Had a groupon voucher but was charged £14 for 2 child cordials. 2 soups 2.95 . And a desert 3.95 . couldn't be bothered arguing over quid or so .. but that along with everything else of course put me right off ever going again !!

Had lunch here today. We both ordered roast beef and 2 lagers. Our meals arrived but not the drinks. I mentioned that I had a headache and wanted to take some tablets. The waiter immediately asked if I would like some water to take the tablets. He promptly brought a glass of water with ice and lemon for me. Very much appreciated.There was lots of beef on the plate and a 'sunken' Yorkshire pudding and roasties. We were given a dish of mashed potato and one of mixed vegetables.A reasonable meal bought with a Groupon voucher. We were told they were no longer going to have Groupon vouchers and we were given a card which stated Sunday lunches - 2 for £10 for our future use.

Sunday lunch is lovely and they cater for gluten free which is a bonus

So happy with our visit to kelz Middlesbrough, food was absolutely beautiful, our waiter Matthew Binns couldn't have been more than helpful he's a treasure to the team that work here, he sorted food out for our milk, egg and nut free child straight away and the meals that came out were absolutely gorgeous and our sons meal was amazing he loved it .. will definitely return

I've been to Kelz a few times and ate something different everytime. Everything i've eaten has been really nice! A special mention for the chips - they are devine! Friendly and helpful service each time also. I recommend Kelz to anyone!

This was by far the best parmo I've had for a long time. Excellent value, really tasty, good quality food. The sides were great too. The staff are helpful and friendly, it was a pleasure to eat there. I'd definitely recommend the place.

Family of 5 all had different meals and all were excellent our son said it's the best parma he's ever had! The food was delicious all the meals were of excellent quality and tasted great service was fab, the staff were helpful and friendly. Great value for money and will definitely be going again and be recommending to friends and family. Excellent

Went back to my favorite restaurant for Sunday lunch and it was fantastic, fresh veg delicious roast beef and a massive Yorkshire pud, 3 courses for £12 on a Sunday is great value and will be back :).

Picked up our meal tonight,what can i say,excellent all round ,parmos, chips (,think they were double cooked ),salad and a thick creamy garlic sauce absolutely delicious .Will definitely recommend to family and friends .

Went for Sunday lunch with my family (6 of us) and it was delicious. A couple of us had the tomato soup starter and for mains we all ordered different meals, from roast chicken, beef, pork and my son had the scampi. Everyone's meal was served at the same time and we we given so much veg we couldn't eat it all. The servings of meat are more than enough and the gravy is sooooo tasty. For desert it was jam roly poly. All I can say is its a delicious tasty filling Sunday lunch at a great price and we will be going back for more.

Had a 3 course Sunday Lunch today. It was bad from start to finish. I had pork pate for starter that was meant to come with red onion chutney. It was served with orange marmalade! It was straight from a jar, full of orange peel and not an onion in sight. When the main come out, the vegetables are served between two people in a bowl, there was literally a teaspoon's worth of cabbage so both of us didn't get to try it, there was also 2 tiny bits of cauliflower, broccoli and a few carrots, none of it had any flavour. The mash was in a bowl of its own and was the worst tasting mash that I have ever experienced. It was watery and lumpy and full of black and grey lumps, totally disgusting (have taken a picture of the mash)The pork was dry and fatty and the Yorkshire pudding was more like a pancake. Nothing had any flavour, even the gravy was bland. The roast potatoes were not roasted they were deep fried. The only thing with flavour was the mint sauce. It was honestly the worst Sunday dinner we have ever had and we wouldn't recommend it to anyone :(

Kelz certain do a good parmo as well as excellent chips. Presentation is also pretty high quality. Criticism however was the parmo came somewhat luke warm which was disappointing, I couldn't help but notice a couple who had came in after us got there parmo first which may have had something to do with this. Also the chicken itself is a little on the thin side when compared to its competitors.The atmosphere of the 'resturant' was actually the biggest issue, it has a very dingy, dark feel and some renovation is seriously needed. It is in such a nice location it's a shame it's not better presented.

Visited on the off chance after work.Staff very friendly - can't do enough for you.Parmesans - fabulous, tasty, well cooked and the best home made chips ever !A absolute hidden gem will definitely go back.Ps - did I mention it was fab value too !! Definitely worth a visit you will not be disappointed

Have not been for a while , however I have been missing the best hidden little gem in the town. If your after home made , freshly prepared, piping hot tasty food ... Then try this place. The chicken Parmesan are the best in Middlesbrough, don't expect some flattened cardboard thin bland smothered chicken bits ,,,,, Kelz offer a tasty home made dish with home made chips ... Honestly they are a treat . The staff are friendly and ever so helpful. Well done Kelz ( will be in for Sunday lunch )

Booked a table for 8 on groupon for Sunday lunch and it was excellent lots of meat, veg and roasties and mash. The service was excellent with very pleasant staff. We will return
