Lou and Liz did their morning show from Kelly's Tavern in Neptune for St. Patrick's Day. In case you couldn't be there, here are some of great year-round Irish food dishes they have on the menu.

Kelly's Tavern -- From Ireland to the Jersey Shore. That's what it says on the front of the menu. The Kelly's have a rich Irish heritage, tracing their roots all the way back from County Monaghan and the town of Clones back on "The Old Sod."

A large, ancestral map of Ireland covers the ceiling above the oversized bar, and authentic banners and coats of arms were imported from Dublin. Kelly's is a true landmark and family tradition at the Jersey shore not just for their bar, but for their food, including their world famous Reuben, which Liz has to get every time she goes in there!

Kelly's has always been a family business which, through the years, has carried through with the employees who are endless combinations of fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, and patrons from the fifties who now bring their granchildren.

Here are some of the amazing Irish items on their menu:
