The Story of Kelsey's Steak House

The story of Kelsey's begins in 1987.  We opened the doors of the first Kelsey's Steak House in October of that year in Portage, Indiana.  It was located across the street from Portage High School.  In 1995, during the construction of our current Portage Kelsey's, the original burned down.  Our new restaurant is roomier, yet cozy.  It has been completely remodeled over the last year and now features outdoor dining and a convenient To-Go Room.  You can find Portage Kelsey's on the corner of Swanson Road and Route 6.

The second Kelsey's was opened a year later in Valparaiso, Indiana on the northwest corner of Sturdy Road and LaPorte Avenue.  We quickly outgrew that location and in 1991 moved to our second location on Sturdy Road and US 30.  The building was originally home to Barboul's Steak and Chicken.  To get to Barboul's, one had to travel down a dirt road named US Highway 30.  A steak and chicken dinner could be purchased for 55 cents.  After Barboul's, the building housed a Greyhound Bus Station.  A few of you may remember the next tenant, Marie's Restaurant.  Many more of you will remember the last tenant before Kelsey's, the Orange Bowl.  Finally, in November of 2005 we moved Howie and all to our current location, which was formally Dennys Restaurant.  We still have our drive up window for your take-out convenience.  Valparaiso Kelsey's is located at 2300 Morthland Drive.

Having been in the restaurant business for most of our lives, we knew what we wanted to give our customers; great food, good prices, excellent service, and a clean restaurant.  Our great food begins with USDA choice steaks.  They are hand-cut and NEVER marinated, tenderized, or frozen.  We cook them to your liking on an open flame charcoal grill.  Why don't you watch our cooks in action from the lobbies of either of our restaurants?  Our great food continues with the daily preparation of all of our soups, special dressings, sauces, potatoes, and seasonings...homemade is a key word on our menu.  Feel free to ask our staff any questions you have about our menu or our restaurants.  They have been well trained to serve you.

The combination of all these things has made Kelsey's Steak House the BEST STEAKHOUSE in Northwest Indiana.  We have often been imitated, but never duplicated.

Our success is based on you, the customer.  If you ever feel you have not received the above, we want to know.  Feel free to introduce yourself to one of the managers who visit the tables nightly.  Here at Kelsey's we want to know you, our loyal customer, and we want you to be comfortable with us as well.

We thank you for choosing Kelsey's Steak House and we look forward to serving you in the future.
