I go to Kellys on occassion.....because it's "kelly's"......the food is ok, but I wouldn't call it excellent. The bottom line is: I think you can get a better roast beef dinner for less $$ elsewhere.

I'm another long-time local, and I have to agree, Kelly's is not what it used to be. Once they franchised, the quality dropped. It's still a nice place to grab some fries to throw at the seagulls,...

I've lived in Revere for 30 Years and Kelly's has changed quite a bit. They have a lot of new stuff on the menu, some good, some not so good. I do think they are a bit over priced, but their clams...

Kelly's has been a family owned business for about 50 years and many of the workers are long term. This leads to consistant quality and good customer service.

There is NOTHING better than a Kelly's Roast Beef sandwich and fries at 2:00 a.m. in July. The original outdoor, no seating, Revere Beach location is better than the newer locations.

Kelly's voted as one of the best cheap eats? I believe hardly so!!! It is neither the best or cheap. Maybe 20 years ago. But not any longer. It has lost its original flavor in my opinion.
