Wonderful experience. Great taste. Decent vegetarian options and lovely service. A must visit place for Sydney siders. :) A perfect kitchen and grill.
This restaurant is absolutely up to standards. Food variety, service, location and atmosphere is quite amazing. Not to mention that mouth watering complimentary bread that they serve. This bread is defiantly exclusive to only Kelly's. A mix of softness and sweet, I have never had anything better. Ribs and steaks are great here, succulent and cooked well to your requests. Even though there isn't seating outside looking over the Bridge, you do have the option to walk outside and enjoy the view. In regards to booking, This is a place you will require to book in advance to avoid disappointment at the door especially if they are occurring a busy night. I have returned on many occasions and defiantly will come back especially if they still have that bread!!
Situated on the top floor of one of Westfield Bondi Junctions buildings.
Quick and friendly service, seated straight away near the windows which had a lovely view of Bondi and beyond.
Variety of menu options to choose from, along with some cocktails and a wide diversity of wines as well. Menu items weren’t surprisingly expensive as it is Bondi after all, but the prices of everything were well suited when the food came out.
Got served some bread and butter without asking (just complimentary) for a little entree before our main meals. My friend ordered the fish of the day (which was grilled barramundi fillets) and I ordered the boerewors platter (which is just bangers and mash with a serving of peas and onion rings??) and both dishes were delicious.
Would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the Bondi Junction area😌
Food recommendation: boerewors platter🍽
This restaurant is located on the top for of Bondi Junction with the Best view and plus, u get to enjoy a delicious meal too. One of the nicest steakhouses and what’s nice is you can make up your own dish if u don’t want exactly what’s printed on the menu. The best part of the meal is the brioche bread that they give u to start ❤️ if you like a good steak or even some boerewors then this place is calling u 😉

I can here to celebrate my with a friend a his new job, it’s a prime location with harbour bridge views and the city.
The staff are nice, we had the waiter take our order. One of the mains came out wrong but my friend didn’t want to case any problems. He ordered Caesar salad with chicken. It came with out he chicken.
The complimentary bread is so fresh and yummy I just want to eat it all. I only had a little bit because I wanted to save room for my pasta.
We also order the garlic bread it looked like it would have a lot of taste but was a little tasteless.
It all came out straight after one another so quickly, the spinach pasta was way over priced for the serving of it. What u see in the photo is all you get the was a single layer of pasta 8-9 pieces max...
The cocktails where strong and good.
I wouldn’t rush back here. But the experience was ok!
AMAZING FOOD! I always went there for birthdays and their steak is to DIE FOR 💦😍! Service was great, view was amazing and loved the mash potatoes 😩❤️
This bar and grill is on the top level of Bondi Junction shopping centre and near the cinema so it is perfect for grabbing dinner before a movie. It is a large restaurant so not too many dramas with it being booked out. I went with my family for dinner and service was prompt and friendly. We got some amazingly soft and sweet bread to start and a few drinks. All of the table ordered a steak of different cuts. With the exception of one, most steaks were a tad over (ie the medium rare was medium, the medium was well etc.) The ones that were cooked effectively were the rare ones. That said, it is quality meat that was very nice. We got a range of sides like sweet potato fries and stringy onion rings which were great. I like that the menu is super large, you can choose your sides, sauces and order extra additions. In the higher price range so suitable for a special dinner.
If you want great steak, then this is the place to go. Make sure you book ahead or you will be turned away. I've always enjoyed my meals here and it's always been consistently good. I haven't tried anything else on the menu so I can't comment on the quality of other menu items but the steak is definitely beautifully cooked.
Thursdays mean Adventure time with @theskinnyonsam and today saw us venture over to Bondi where we visited @kellysbarandgrill in Westfield for lunch.
Beef burger: 250g prime grade beef, tomato, Spanish onion, pickles PLUS I added a 250g prime beef patty with a 3 pepper corn crust, crispy bacon, cheese and pink sauce 🍔
Double 250g patties makes for a big burger 💪 but the pepper crust was amazing, and the tang of the pink sauce lifted each mouthful. The snails, garlic bread and mango smoothie may also have slowed down proceedings but I have no regrets 😅👌

This big eatery is set up high in the Westfield building and is certainly in a choice spot. With high ceilings and sweeping city views, the setting is bright and airy. It’s a whole new world up in the restaurant precinct and it’s hard to believe you are actually in a shopping centre! Wow – the menu is so extensive and looks enticing. Share plates and entrees, lovely salads, seafood and of course MEAT! Do it your way here – the menu is designed to be flexible. Eat a little or a lot, share, don’t share, choose your salad and meat combinations, add some sides, choose your sauces – we love all this choice! It really is about the customers being happy here. It felt like a cocktail moment, so we ordered a pine-lime crush and a berry martini. Nice! The berry martini was a rich deep crimson colour and had a lovely fruity kick to it. The pine-lime was reminiscent of a splice - as it should be.

Kellys Bar and Grill is the ideal destination to cater to all you steak needs. They use the finest produce, and prepare your steak preference to perfection. Overall, very impressed with the service, food presentation and the quality of produce available. Definitely recommending to all my friends and family.
Kelly’s Bar and Grill has been a fixture in the Eastern Suburb food scene for some 20 years, and we were excited to give it a try one sunny afternoon. Being an airy and bright restaurant, we were seated next to the windows which gave us the beautiful vista of Sydney skyline from the Harbour Bridge to the CBD.
There are a few things that spell great night out for me and Kelly’s Bar and Grill can offer them: smoky grilled meat, ribs, fresh plump seafood and something nice and strong to wash it all down with. Chambord lychee crush $18Lychee caipiroska $18 Southern peach tea $18. Complimentary brioche challah
With a view that sets the scene, Kelly’s Bar and Grill is the perfect spot to finish up a day of intense shopping or sun-tanning on the beach. Whether for a hearty dinner or a couple of drinks watching the sun set behind the bridge, Kelly’s should be on your list!. To start the evening, complimentary bread was served. It was brioche style, sweet and moreish. We had to remind ourselves not to finish every crumb as this was just the beginning.
Kelly's is our family's default for catch ups and non significant birthdays which was the occasion today. The menu selection is varied but steak is where they shine. Whilst today two of the five steaks ordered were very over, this is unusual for Kelly's in my experience and they brought out replacements. I sometimes think I come here just for the complimentary brioche loaf. WHO DOESNT LOVE FREE BRIOCHE. We got some cocktails today too, really good.
We always go for their ribs and steak everytime we dine here but this time we choose their seafood platter instead.. I'd say the portion is just right for sharing and you simply got a chance to try lil bit of everything. Grilled king prawn was a bit dry and fishy but the deep fried calamari was so tender and crispily good. The fish was lightly battered and you can also choose which sauce to go with the mussels (neapolitan or cream sauce).
Had their eye fillet as well, asked for medium but they arrived medium well - Still fine for us as long as it's not "well-donely burnt" and the middle part was still juicy and tender
After a busy week, we were all looking forward to having dinner and drinks with a view at Kelly’s Bar and Grill in Bondi Junction! The menu at Kelly’s has some amazing steak and ribs options, but also a bunch of great vegetarian friendly dishes too! We decided to skip the entrees and grab a few main dishes to share, so that we’d have room for dessert afterwards.
Kellys Bar and Grill is a restaurant located on the top floor of Bondi Junction which specialises in steak and rib dishes. The location of the restaurant gives it a great view of Sydney Harbour and the eastern suburbs which is quite nice in the evening and the venue is generally quite busy most days of the week.
Dined at Kelly's on a Friday night and it was a pleasant experience. The staff were on the ball ensuring everything was alright. We ordered various dishes from the mussels, garlic prawns, entree platter, steaks and veal parmigiana and they were all excellent. The steak was ok good quality - what you'd expect from a stead house - and the entrees were very tasty.
A fantastic place for dinner with a gorgeous view of the city skyline ! The menu is great and i love meat so this place is like my heaven! I highly recommend the 500gm T-bone and the Pork Ribs. Customer service is very attentive and it has a great atmosphere.
It is a good place for dinner if it is followed by a movie upstairs or a good place for lunch to start a long shopping in Westfield. You will have a good view if you have a seat by the window. The mussel and wine-taste soup are so delicious and unforgettable. I love it and strongly recommend it!
Comparing kelly with hurricane, I still prefer hurricane for their pork ribs and complimentary bread. Kelly definitely server better steak, scotch fillet would be my favourite. We also had linguini prawn and mussel with cream sauce, very average I would say. Service was great, it was a enjoyable dinner :).
Undisputed best steak house in Sydney's East. While other "brands" have lowered their standards and become more commercialised, Kelly's his maintained their high performance. Exceptional value for money, great portions and awesome service; for steaks, highly recommended.
Was skeptical going in as the steaks I've had in Sydney so far haven't been particularly good, especially because I'm comparing them to the best steaks in the world from South Africa. Kelly's, however, delivered a great piece of fillet and plate of boerewors that were cooked perfectly and tasted just like home. It seems to be modeled off a steak house in SA, and the owner is from SA so not surprised! Despite being in a mall the setting is very nice. The quality and flavor is the best I've found in Sydney yet, would recommend this as the best option in Sydney for hearty steak lovers, especially South Africans!
My friend and I came here to catch up over lunch and as we were the first diners, we sat by the window that had a view of the city. I haven't been here for ages and I was craving some meat so instead of going to the foodcourt downstairs, this was my first choice to book.
During the week, they have a lunch special menu where there is a selection of food items and a still/sparkling water or soft drink for $19.95 or beer/house wine for $23.95. I opted for their sirloin ($5 extra) which came with salad and chips and my friend tried their calamari. She enjoyed hers and my meat was good but if it was cooked medium rare as I requested, it would have been more tender and juicier compared to the medium I received.
Staff were friendly but service was a bit slow as there weren't many staff on the floor, but i didn't mind so much as we weren't in any rush today.
We were visiting from Melbourne and our daughter found this venue on Zomato. My wife was skeptical at first because it was located next to the cinemas. Everything we had was delicious - scotch fillet, snails, French onion soup, kids sausages, kids fish and chips, and kids schnitzel. The brioche bread was really good too. Our boy asked me to give this a 5 out of 5, and he's a real fussy eater.

Kelly’s Steakhouse has been an institution in Bondi Junction for many years and that’s no mean feat - especially for a restaurant - to have survived and prospered for such a long time. So full marks to them for perfecting the art of running a restaurant and for providing a consistently high standard of food and service every time. And despite the crowds – and believe me, it’s always full, even on a weeknight - Kelly’s runs like a well-oiled machine.
The menu is fairly extensive – you can check it out online – with a large selection of mainly meat dishes, but with some vegetarian, pasta and fish choices. No matter what you choose though, you can be sure the quality will be first class.
The venue at the Westfield Shopping Centre is accessible and convenient. Parking is free after 7.00pm (except for Dec) or two hours free before 7.00pm (inc Dec). Westfield have also introduced a new ticketless parking scheme for added simplicity. So there’s no fiddling around with tickets anymore and so far, although it’s a fairly recent innovation, it works like a charm. Your registration number will be scanned when you drive in, even if you’re not registered with them. When you’re ready to leave just enter your reg. number using the keypad on the payment machine. All so easy now, as your number is scanned again as you leave. But I digress from the subject at hand, which is Kelly’s.
Despite its popularity, I find Kelly’s overly expensive and I wouldn’t eat here without a voucher or some other deal. We came for a friend’s birthday, which entitled our party to a 20% discount. That kept my share of the bill, for my wife and I to $75 and for that we got two juicy and tender steaks with all the trimmings, a small dish of pepper sauce, a Roquefort salad and a bottle of Fat Yak Pale Ale. See what I mean? Without the discount that would have been $95 for two main meals, one salad and a beer (which, by the way you can pick up a six-pack of for around $12 at BWS, that’s $2 a beer that they flog for $9).
I don’t find Kelly’s a particularly relaxing venue either or conducive to quiet, thoughtful conversation. The wooden chairs and tables, concrete floors and tiles and glass everywhere make this a noisy place and you can bank on it being pretty full most nights to make matters worse.
But having said all that, we did have a hassle-free evening. Our food was of the usual high standard we have come to expect from Kelly’s. My steak was a winner: tender meat, beautifully cooked just the way I like it with no red bits, but no sacrificing on taste. The chips and onion rings were crunchy and full of flavour and the black pepper and cream sauce (add another $3 for that) made the perfect accompaniment. My health conscious wife choose vegetables with her steak; they were fresh and nutritious. The Roquefort salad with its crispy lettuce and creamy blue cheese was an inspired choice. Portion sizes were just right, at 250g for the steaks and, with all the extras, that added up to a filling and satisfying meal.
Service from our pretty, cheerful waitress was fast and professional. Orders were quickly taken and meals came out promptly and in the correct order. I guess one consolation for the high prices is the free bread they always deliver to your table before the meals. Roughly one small knotted loaf for every four people, it’s a bit sweet for my liking, but I polished it off anyway.
Toilets are generally clean and well stocked and easy to find at the back of the restaurant. The menu is clearly laid and simple to follow.
So all in all, our evening went off without a hitch and everybody left feeling full and contented. No need to raid the fridge when you get home! Once again, Kelly’s delivered the goods, but at a cost.
But I guess I’m stuck with it now as every year, like clockwork we get our birthday vouchers. And who can pass up such a generous offer? So despite my misgivings, we’ll continue to go back – year after year.
Kelly's is absolutely delicious. We dropped by late on Thursday night after a movie (9pm), so it was no problem to get a seat. I had the sirloin steak with pepper sauce and baked potato, and my partner had the lamb shanks on mash. Everything was delicious!
My steak was amazing, and the black pepper and cream sauce was to die for. Great portions, too. The complimentary brioche bread was a nice touch, and super yummy too.
Overall, delicious food and brilliant service on top of that. Will happily come by again!
I've been there quite a few times now and its been beautiful! Only a 4.5 because it is a bit expensive, especially since I'm a student, but the photo is great quality!!! would recommend to everyone!
If you are into meat, steaks and burgers, this is the place to go! Very tasty food and it is brought out in a timely manner. The staff is generally very friendly.
Time after time I've had nothing but pleasant experiences at Kelly's bar and grill. Great service however they can get extremely busy so bookings are a must on weekends! One of my favourite mains is the lamb cutlets with a side of mash and salad, yum!!

There was much to love about Kellys Grill. Sitting atop Bondi Junction Westfield, it boasts fantastic view of Sydney’s skyscrapers and Harbour Bridge. The design of the restaurant itself is very stylish and posh. The food is, of course, exceptional without the need to queue or wait. Although, It is always suggested to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
Pork ribs were good, not amazing or anything like that. It didn't reach my expectation as no meat was falling off the bone.

TrueLocal claims this is the best steakhouse in the state, so Alex Harmon had to see whether it deserved the meaty medallion. Here's what she thought: Located on top of Westfield Bondi Junction , I am blown away by the view - I've never been much of a shopping mall diner until now. Sydney Harbour dazzles me as I check out the menu, which ranges from steaks to vegetarian bakes. King Prawns ($20.99/4) are butterflied and honoured with a tinge of lemon and a crunchy head. Vegetarian Frittata ($14.95/2) are overly cheesy but still good on taste. I like it when a 'grill' isn't superficial about vegetable options, like overpriced garnishes. The coveted Sirloin ($27.95/250g) was wet aged 30 days and very tender; but somehow the Lamb Ribs ($27.95/small) stole the limelight - even outshining the view. They were toe-curlingly good, with a smoky barbeque flavour that seemed to come from within. The only fault I made was ordering Onion Rings ($6.95/small) - they come as a side and really sho
A cut above. Food arrival well timed, quality high, staff friendly, overall cannot be faltered.
Have eaten here several times prior to reviewing and has retained the same
level of efficiency and quality each time. Great to be served meals of a
superior nature, not something you would cook at home.
Fabulous Steak!. This restaurant provides excellent steak, with brilliant service and a wonderful view of the harbour bridge, as well as the surroundings. Prices are not too steep either. I highly recommend to all.
All staff where attentive and helpful
Slight waiting period for the food
Everything was cooked perfectly
Have been to kellys many time they never fail to impress
The male Maitre d' is so lovely, his communication skills are unlike that of other restaurants. We come here often and whether it is extremely busy on a weekend or calmer during the week, the service is second to none and the food is always exceptional quality. We continue to come here time after time and are yet to be disappointed.
The pork ribs: not as tasty as Hurricane's but they give you baby pork which is WAY softer than what they give you at Hurricane's. It's subjective but my parents like dining here better, better ambience and service was quicker. You've gotta try the fried onions they put next to your pork ribs. It's a win.
Best steaks in Sydney. Never been disappointed. Always choose Kelly's when the opportunity to go out arises.
Amazing steak. I like it blue and the cook it - or don't cook it - to perfection!
Ribs!. Kellys has survived the shopping centre experience and shows what a good restraunter can do in this style of environment. It remains as good today as the day it opened.
The Ribs are soft, tender, melt in the mouth - just what you want when they are piled up on your plate. I don't think there is a cut on the menu that doesnt live up to its reputation. The sides are generous and flavoursome.
Finish it off with a Don Pedro - a Sth African liquor thick-shake.
Excellent service - waitresses knew what portion of salad was right for us even though she could have easily made us order a large one. Steaks were cooked just right for medium rare. The meat tasted very good - top grade. All in all very satisfactory. Highly recommended.
Happy South Africans!. Steakhouse serving Westfield shoppers and movie goers. Captive audience. So do they try? Staff are friendly. Servings are large enough. Challah or brioche style warm loaves to fill one's tum tum ahead of the meal is a nice touch. Atlantic Salmon very nice. Friend's steak meal looked fantastic. Happy South African patrons to boot who return. Safe choice for an evening out. Try Bondi Pizza across the aisle in case this one is full. GregFresser
James Squires Golden Ale and a rack of lamb ribs. Great BBQ joint and perfect pre movie meal. Fast service, helpful staff
One of the best cooked and tastiest steaks going round
Fairly pricey but good service and food
The best steak I've had in a long time. Beautiful food and awesome service. Sure to come back here many times again.
Love the ribs. If I want ribs - this is where I go. Pork and lamb - shared - is recommended. It is often booked out during peak dining times - so book ahead or eat early or late. The views can be impressive - overlooking the eastern suburbs through to the harbour - depending on your seat. I prefer the meat here to Hurricane in Bondi.
Fantastic burgers, great location and the kids love it.

Great bar n grill in the Junction. Boerwoers are a must and also creamed spinach! Careful with the complimentary brioche, it's massive!Awesome views of the east and city from almost every seat.
Kelly's at Bondi is my family's favourite for a great feed. We've been coming here for years! Our go to spot for occasions and special visits.
Tonight's service was exceptionally great but overall consistent quality of food over the years is second to none.
We always order lamb ribs, garlic prawns and Caesar salad. Tonight's eye fillet couldn't be more mouth watering. Barramundi was the special fish and cooked very well and taste very fresh.
Keep up the great service and delicious food!
Ps. My photos are terrible!
The food is great especially the steak however the service is average. Staff is a bit cold and not attentive. Good location near the cinema. Will be a good choice before or after movie.
Thumbs up for customer service! They accidentally made a mistake with our group booking but fixed it up later on. We had the set menu E - serving size was very generous. I was full from their entrees. Their foods were very high quality and tasty!
The steaks are reasonably good, even though they are slightly expensive compared to the same quality you get elsewhere.
The before-meal breads are surprisingly soft and tasty.
Staff service is good.
Look forward to dine properly here next time.
