First time visit to Kelly’s… Well, since 1977 in Revere, that is! Same great roast beef sandwich and a huge portion of Ipswich clams, which I have greatly missed having! They were perfect and I am stuffed! The clam platter was $35 and no more expensive than back home. Hand breaded onion rings were great as well. They fly in their seafood twice a week, have a very clean restaurant and friendly staff. Cannot wait until they build in Parrish right next to my work!! We will certainly go again, thanks for a great meal!

Nice quick to eat Seafood and Roast Beef place. We only ordered the seafood with a lobster roll and fried shrimp. Both were great! Place is very clean and staff was friendly with first time ordering helpful tips. Notice the lobster roll is cold the the warmed kind.

I am from Boston and I lived on Revere Beach for a couple years, we ate at Kelly’s often. When I found out about the one in Sarasota we had to go. It was amazing just like old times. The fried class and roast beef were amazing. And the onion rings are out of this world. It was so worth the money. Happy birthday to me.

I grew up going to Kelly’s on Revere Beach where the original Kelly’s was. I was excited to see that Kelly’s expanded to Sarasota! I visit Florida quite frequently and my first visit to this location delivered! They have stayed true to the service and consistency of the menu. I am a huge fried clam fan and was intending to get a roast beef sandwich, but when the person at the register told me that they fly the clams in from Ipswich Ma, I got the clams. And they have THE BEST tarter (pronounced Tartah) sauce! Definitely worth the visit!! Everything on the menu here is a win!

Being born & raised in Boston I couldn’t believe it when I was on vacation to Sarasota and saw the sign.

This was my first time coming to Kelly’s and I was truly happy with everything and everyone. The Roast Beef sandwich was absolutely the best I’ve had in years! Cooked & seasoned perfectly. The staff were very nice and the place was immaculate. Definitely will be returning and telling friends.

This was our first time visiting Kelly’s, and we will be back. My husband had the original three-way meal, and I had the fish sandwich. Absolutely delicious. If you are looking for something different, it is definitely worth a try. Short on time during the week, they also have a drive-through.

I don’t like to give bad reviews, but I was very disappointed with this restaurant. I will comment on the positive first. The crew was very friendly upon greeting as well as the person cleaning tables, and those who bring food to the table. The dining area as well as the food preparation area was very clean, impressed.

This is the 3rd time we’ve visited this new location and so far we are batting around 300. This, by far, was the worst of the 3 visits. Our roast beef sandwiches came out well done and almost steamed. As long time Kelly’s fans we are really disappointed with what we have received from this new location. The only things edible were the fries and onion rings. I should have paid attention when I saw other sandwiches looking really well done before I ordered. This is way too costly to get Arby’s quality sandwiches. We both only ate 1/4 off our large roast beef’s.

I don’t know where these bad reviews are coming from, clearly not people from New England!! We moved to Florida a year and a half ago and I have been on the search for some good “fish and chips”, we tried Kelly’s today and OMG!!! BEST. FISH HANDS DOWN!! If I could give them 10 stars I would! Don’t listen to these negatives because if your like me and love some good New England cod/Haddock THIS is the place!! Staff were super friendly also! Two very happy and satisfied s
