When folks around here say they want "good seafood," they usually mean something simple: fresh fish, fat shrimp, plump oysters, fried golden or grilled just right, with a cold drink and good company. That's exactly what you'll find on the everyday seafood menu at Kelley's Village Inn, right on Jefferson Hwy in River Ridge.
Our weekly specials get a lot of attention, and they should. But you don't need a special night to sit down to a great seafood plate at Kelley's. Here's a look at the seafood that's on our menu every day we're open.
Seafood Platters, the Way They Should Be
Our seafood platters come with fries, coleslaw and garlic toast, the way a proper Louisiana platter ought to.
Fried Fish Platter for the classic fish fry lover.
Fried Shrimp Platter piled with golden fried shrimp.
Fried Oyster Platter at market price, for anyone who likes their oysters crispy.
VIP Platter with fried fish, oysters and shrimp, plus a cup of soup. If you can't decide, this is the one.
Grilled or Fried Fish
Not everybody wants it fried, and that's fine by us. Our trout and redfish both come grilled or fried, so you can keep it light or go all the way. Redfish and trout are about as South Louisiana as it gets, and they're a great pick if you want a real fish dinner close to home.
Seafood Salads for a Lighter Plate
Looking for something a little lighter? We've got you covered there, too:
Shrimp Remoulade with grilled shrimp over lettuce, remoulade sauce, a boiled egg and garlic bread.
Fried Shrimp Salad and Grilled Shrimp Salad.
Oyster Salad for the oyster fans.
Seafood on Bread
You can't talk about seafood in Jefferson Parish without talking about bread. Our shrimp, fish and oyster po-boys come fully dressed, and every one of them can also be made on a half or whole muffuletta loaf. And if you really want to go big, try our Seafood Muffuletta, loaded with fish, oysters and shrimp. Bring a friend, because it's made for sharing.
Something for Everybody at the Table
Kelley's is a family-friendly seafood restaurant, so if someone in your crew isn't a seafood person, they won't go hungry. Our menu also has burgers, chicken sandwiches, pizza, Italian favorites, roast beef po-boys and our original muffuletta with homemade olive salad. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents and bring the whole neighborhood.
