Took my sons from NJ to Kelly's for lunch. They wanted to go to another fast food place, I convinced them to try Kelly's. I had roast beef and my sons had Lobster Rolls. They claimed the lobster was the best thing they ever ate. Shout out to Tacoma, the lovely Kelly's ambassador who took care of us.

Beef was dry, the website says it comes with bbq sauce, there was none on both sandwiches I ordered. Bun was on upside down. There's no way to add toppings to sandwiches anymore? Cheese fries isn't real cheese like the picture, it's cheese sauce that made the fries soggy
Sorry, i don't normally write bad reviews. After trying to impress my family i was really disappointed.

$35 for two small roast beef sandwiches, one with cheese, a small order of fries and two drinks. Really? I guess if it was the best roast beef sandwich I’ve ever eaten it would have been worth it but it was just okay. Very tender but needed more seasoning and a sauce.

Definitely the best roast beef place in Florida. My wife is from the north shore area of Boston and is very familiar with the style of roast beef here. I’m from NY but appreciate a quality roast beef sandwich. The roast beef is sliced so perfectly thin and they have the best buns. They offer other items which look great but when in the Sarasota area we make sure to stop here for a sandwich and fries. We have even made a one day special drive over two and a half hours from the other coast of Florida where we live just to get our roast beef fix. Maybe one day they will open near us but until then we will go as often as we are able .

Our first time here. We wanted the roast beef sandwich, however their oven wasn't working and we had to choose another sandwich. A Reuban and 2 hamburgers were our substitutes. These sandwiches were delicious and served with great fries. We will try again for the roast beef sandwiches. They also have a children's menu with Mac and cheese, hot dog or chicken stripe. Give it a try. There is also outdoor dining if you would like.

Went for lunch today, waited for 5 minutes + and nobody taking orders. Two tables of guests, 4 waiting to place an order. I walked out, things were not going well I could see.
First visit to Kelly's, might be my last.

I was so excited to see that Kelly’s roast beef was coming to Sarasota as I’ve been to the original restaurant in Revere Ma. Several times over the years as well as the one on Rte.1 in Saugus. I went to your restaurant very much looking forward to a plate of whole belly Ipswich fried clams. I was so disappointed to get fried canned baby clams that were absolutely disgusting. I’ve lived in New England almost all of my life and I was extremely disappointed. I haven’t had real fried whole belly clams in over 5 years and was so happy when you opened a Kelly’s roast beef restaurant here. You should take these off of your menu as you have no idea what they are. I truly have never been so disappointed in any restaurant in my life. By the way, I’ve been a chef for over 50 years and I know what I’m talking about!

Excellent roast beef sandwich and fries! The meat was juicy and covered with the right amount of sauce, which had excellent flavor. The toasted bun held up throughout the entire meal without getting soggy or falling apart. The fries were crisp and the salt and pepper went well with the leftover sauce that dripped off the sandwich. I will definitely be back but I might have a hard time trying anything else because the #2 was that good!

We're here in Parrish Florida at Kelly's. We just had a delicious Ruben that was just stacked full of meat. It was wonderful.

Roast beef sandwich with au jus is delicious. They grill the rolls, which gives a nice crunch. The onion rings are fresh and hand breaded. The best I’ve had in a long time! Friendly service too.
