Every neighborhood has that one restaurant. It's the place you take visiting family, the place you meet friends after a long week, and the place where somebody across the dining room always waves hello. In River Ridge, that place is Kelley's Village Inn, right on Jefferson Highway. For years, Kelley's has been feeding this community the Louisiana favorites that never go out of style, and we're proud to keep the tradition going.
A Neighborhood Gathering Place
Kelley's has always been about more than what comes out of the kitchen. It's about seeing someone you know when you walk in. It's having a favorite order before you even sit down. It's families sharing a meal, friends meeting at the bar, and generations of River Ridge and Harahan locals making memories around the same tables.
We believe the best neighborhood restaurants don't need to be complicated. Serve good food, treat people well, and keep the doors open for the folks who keep showing up. That's the Village Inn way.
Fresh Seafood, Close to Home
We're a family-friendly seafood restaurant at heart, and you don't have to drive into the city for a good seafood plate. Our seafood platters come with fries, coleslaw and garlic toast, and the menu covers the classics:
Fried fish, fried shrimp and fried oyster platters, plus the VIP Platter with fish, oysters, shrimp and a cup of soup.
Grilled or fried trout and grilled or fried redfish for anyone who likes their fish their way.
Shrimp remoulade and an oyster salad when you want something a little lighter.
The Seafood Muffuletta, stacked with fish, oysters and shrimp.
A Little Bit of Everything We Love
Our menu is a little bit of everything we love about eating in South Louisiana. Alongside the seafood you'll find po-boys (they come fully dressed), our Original Muffuletta with homemade olive salad, Black Angus burgers, pizza, pasta and Italian favorites. It's the kind of menu where one person orders fried shrimp, another gets a burger, the kids want pizza, and everybody leaves happy.
A Week of Specials
Each night we're open has its own reason to come by:
Wednesday is Pork Chop Night, with a chargrilled pork chop, mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans, plus a $9 dozen raw oysters all day.
Thursday is Steak Night, with an 18-22 oz ribeye or an 8 oz filet and one side for $24.95.
Friday is Crab Night, with fresh boiled crabs at market price, all-crab pasta, or soft shell crab over cream pasta.
Saturday is Snow Crab day, with snow crabs at market price, $2 long necks and $5 frozen margaritas all day, and another $9 dozen raw oysters.
Our specials are dine-in only, so pull up a chair and stay a while.
