About Kelly's
Kelly's is a takeout restaurant at 11 Earp Ave in Newark, built around big cobs that make a filling order to carry out. The kitchen serves both hot and cold food, with chicken and bacon rolls and a baked potato with chilli among the savoury choices. A salted caramel rice crispy square covers the sweet side. Service is walk-in, with no reservations. Payment is cash only, so customers should bring cash with them.

Customer Review Summary
Cobs draw the most praise at Kelly's, with reviewers calling it the best cob shop in Newark, a go-to spot where the cobs are not small. Close behind are the chicken and bacon rolls, a baked potato with chilli, and cheesecakes described as beautiful. One diner also mentions a salted caramel rice crispy square. Value comes up repeatedly, with several describing fair prices and getting what they ask for, and one reviewer buys lunch there most days. Staff are called friendly, lovely, and cheerful, the shop is described as super clean, and it is popular with trades and locals. The one critical review says the food is good but calls the shop a hangout for travellers who walk in and out ordering and abusing people, which makes getting served difficult, and it faults staff for allowing it. Even when the shop is busy, one reviewer says staff acknowledge every customer the moment they walk in the door.
