As others have posted, I am sad to post this review. This place has really gone down hill. I paid $35 for the smallest lobster roll I have ever seen. It used to be a decent size just last year… now, I actually laughed when I saw it. It was also room temperature and tasted funny. Their shakes are still good so I gave two stars. But I won’t be back… the place used to be packed all the time. Not it’s always empty… for good reason. Too bad, I used to love this place. Won’t be back.

Awesome is the word that explains averting about that place. Luckily it wasn’t packed. We got right in line and helped immediately. The gentleman that helped us had a huge smile. Helped us determine what was good. Which was everything honestly. I got the surf and turf. Excellent choice. Lobster was huge with tons of meats. The roast beef was tender and packed with meat and cheese. My wife’s sandwich was just as pull. We also got two cookies that were nice and fresh and gooey. If you haven’t been there or it’s been awhile get your self back. You’re missing out. You

Roast beef has fat bits sometimes burgers are the most consistent

One of my favorite places to eat near Wakefield. The roast beef is delicious. I try to go by there every trip to that area.

Just wasn't what I expected. Wasn't as good as the first time I went a few years back. Lobster was served cold on a toasted hot dog roll. Roast beef was good sauce tasted weird.

Not every iconic restaurant can pull off multiple locations, but Kelly’s is always amazing and filled with nostalgia along with consistently great food! It doesn’t happen by accident, their love of their staff and reliance on them to keep the history alive shines through!
My boyfriend and I wanted to stop for some Kelly’s on our way home from New Hampshire, it wasn’t busy at all inside. When we went to go order, we got interrupted and someone told the lady taking our order to stop selling any beef… as they were currently out? How do you “run out” of beef when your whole place is based around beef?!? They told us we could wait about an hour if we wanted beef… not waiting that long when we just wanted a quick eat on our drive home. Kelly’s gone down hill recent years.. most likely won’t be coming back

I am very sad to post this review, but it must be made. I had heard many rumors that Kelly’s went downhill. I moved away in 2020 and used to frequent Kelly’s often before that time. I flew back to Boston last week and ordered a large beef with sauce and an order of chicken fingers. The beef was overcooked, and there was next to no sauce put on the bun. The chicken tenders are definitely different from years past. They’re using a much cheaper option and it shows because they weren’t great like they used to be. There was ketchup and condiments all over the counter and no employees cleaned it up. The bathrooms were also disgusting. I don’t know what happened, but Kelly’s is no longer a viable option for north shore beef style sandwiches or chicken tenders. I can’t speak for their fish sandwiches / burgers, but I don’t think I’ll ever return. It sucks because this was the spot I’d been going to for 20+ years with family and friends. I guess they don’t care anymore since they’ve become more commercialized 🙁
