Kelli's offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, live music, a distinctive selection of upscale American cuisine, and a comprehensive drink menu. Kelli welcomed us as we entered the restaurant, and it was clear that we were in good hands. It's refreshing to support a small business, especially since they are becoming increasingly rare these days. If you’re searching for an excellent spot to enjoy food and drinks, this is the place to go!

We ordered takeout from here for the first time recently, and we were pleased with our selections. We'll definitely be returning! read more We ordered takeout from here for the first time recently, and we were pleased with our selections. We'll definitely be returning!

Now usually, I do not recommend restaurants in gas stations, but with all good rules this is the exception to that rule. Kelli's 331 Forever was well decorated, smelt nice, had a friendly wait staff, and clean bathrooms.The food was a step up for most restaurants found in Raymore or Belton. I loved that the owner personally came by to talk to us and made sure our experience was wonderful. The waitress was prompt and checked on our drinks often with a friendly word for us and my son. The crostini's left me wanting two more. I loved their use of Maple syrup in the Savory dish and it helped highlight the apples and cheese. The Ravioli was good sized and delightfully full of crab and cheese. The bite of mac and cheese i managed to talk my son into letting me have was delicious and my son made sure to announce that it was the best mac and cheese he had ever had. He also convinced me to buy another portion for him to have for school lunch the next day.The only issue we had at this restaurant was that one of the fish fillets was a little undercooked.The chef did a great job of communicating his unique love of fresh ingredients on the plate and the owner and waitress made us feel so welcome. Overall, this meal was a success and has left me wanting to come again with my husband to further discover what else this little diamond in the rough has to offer. Next time I'm trying the Stroganoff or the Parmesan Crusted Pork Milanese in a balsamic reduction sauce *drool*.Dietary restrictions: We have some serious food allergy issues in the family and I am so excited to take my husband who is allergic to wheat and dairy to this restaurant. They can make last minute substitutions to keep him safe because everything is made to order! No frozen and reheated food!Parking: it had a small parking lot on the side of the building with handicap accessible parking spots, plus all of the parking spots in front of the gas station.Kid-friendliness: They were real sweet to my five year old son and kept up friendly chatter with him throughout the meal.
