Despite the name, I've never had roast beef at Kelly's before. The food ranges from your typical landlubber fare to seafood, and they do a great job on the Fish & Chips. This place serves great food,...

Wow, I do not understand why people love this place. I definitely agree with Marcin P -- overrated, prices too high and the food is just okay. Also, I hate thick sliced roast beef. I drive by here...

There was nothing really spectacular about Kelly's Roast Beef (aside from the carnival decor which while it reminded me of Coney island, also kinda creeped me out). The portion sizes were very large,...

When comparing this place to other restaurants, I'm only comparing it to places that hare on the same general level, not Arby's, not The Red Onion. I'd say go to Mike's Roast Beef or Lendy's instead....

And for local's this is often the only place they'll go. Handcarved roast beef sandwiches, clam platters and alot of Yankee attitude. They were even mentioned in the movie Good Will Hunting!

Yummy clam-ful clam chowder but liquidy. Roast beef sandwich is great. Onion rings are unexciting. Had for take-out. Fairly quick on a Saturday night.
