I'd like Kelly's to stay in business, truly, but they recently cut half the menu off, including my favorite grilled chicken sandwich. The burgers are good too, but I only came here for the chicken sandwich. They should bring it back if possible, I don't know why they would remove such a solid staple. Staff is always great for a drive-thru, way better than any other place across the street. Wishing them luck in the future. Thanks for all the extra pickles. read more

2.5 - fascinating place, you simply don't see tropical fish tanks anymore, but this Kelly's has a huge one. I might come back just for that. The beer is flat and warm so definitely skip. The fries were fresh and hot, and the roast beefs were good. Not what you'd get from a local mom and pop beef but still above passable. The service is fine but nothing special. The inside really looks like it's from another era entirely. Between the fish tank and pinstripes and old carousel pieces it's a lot to take in. The fish tank is exquisitely taken care of. Expensive for what it is read more

. My wife and I had awkward lunch at Kelly's Danvers. We didn't mind paying the burger and my modest small sandwich ( ice cream for both of us on a hot summer day) There should be a total for each customer; perhaps even for each item. All of us know the price hikes that are hurting all of us. A business with a goood name and reputation as good as Kelly's should be more transparent . Also there was mindless danger at the entrance. A fellow driving a Bronco turned right against the " DO NoT ENTER " sign. A head on collision could have occurred. There appears to be an epidemic of wrong way drivers inn the Commonwealth. I'm sure Kelly's does not want an incident like that or any publicity or liability. Also as we we eating our lunch we noticed vehicles just taking up space while the operators did not purchase anything. We we sitting next to the drive through. Those vehicles were simply loitering. Also my receipt has a female name on it. The nice guy who waited on us was mid 30's , nice looking and efficient. I wish Kelly's to improve the safety issues first; then work on a better billing option James Dennehy 8/7/26 read more

Their frozen seafood is frozen and it's not made fresh for that amount of money. I would go to a place with fresh seafood and not frozen because it taste like frozen. read more

The cost went wayyy up and the portions went wayyy down. Food was terrible and the chowder was SO gross!! I threw it away.

Not the OG, but a decent roast beef. Ambiance looked like a former Bennigan's restaurant from the mid-1990's. Service and ordering was confusing as I did not see a "order here" sign. No complaints on the sammich. read more

My first time going to Kelly's Roast Beef, and I was not disappointed! I got a small roast beef with cheese and small fry. I had enough for my lunch and dinner. Plenty of roast beef that was tender and delicious. I'll definitely go back. read more

Kelly's is a staple, but not worth the visit. The lobster meat was ok, heavily saturated, though with mayonnaise so you couldn't *really* taste it. My husband also tried the roast beef sandwich and it was probably one of the worst we've had in the area. Now this part of Boston is known for roast sandwiches I would honestly recommend going elsewhere instead of a chain restaurant, which doesn't really have that fresh meat and doesn't put a lot of time into the sauce. Kelly's was pretty quick and the people working there were super friendly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to have anything we needed however, if you have the chance to go for food, I would recommend going to smaller restaurants with better quality for seafood and roast beef sandwiches. read more

Grew up going to the Revere Kelly's as a kid, have watched over the years the portion size get smaller and smaller in my fish plate. I understand why they'd cut back on the seafood but this last time the onion rings and fries were so sparse. Also I think they change the onion ring recipe, of the 5 that were in my order the batter didn't seem as flaky. Glad at least the fish tank was booming, my kid asks for this place strictly for it. Overall not great food these days and when you see kids eat free is a 3 day event you can tell they're desperate. read more

Wonderful As Always fascinating place, you simply don't see tropical fish tanks anymore, but this Kelly's has a huge one. I might come back just for that read more

Delicious roast beef sandwich that was better than anything they do at those RB people. Kelly's has all the big chains directly across the street - McDonald's and Burger King and Wendy's and Taco Bell. The bar is high. I got a large roast beef sandwich and it's on a big sesame seed bun. It was delicious. Rare roast beef sliced super thin and piled high. Quite tasty and I enjoyed it much. The cole slaw was just the way I make it at home with light mayo and celery seeds. Delicious. The restaurant is relatively clean and quite comfortable with a huge fish tank in the middle of the dining room, light rock music and a wifi. I'd eat here again or try another Kelly's location. read more

Returned to Danvers location to try their lobster rolls again. This time they asked what we would like with them, offering fries or onion rings. We asked for and got the excellent Wachusett chips instead. They also brought back the plastic forks & napkins. So some welcome small corrections. However confirmed that the kosher pickle will no longer be included. The lobster itself was again very fresh, but there was significantly less meat (and more celery!) in each roll than last time -- very disappointing, considering they were still $36 each. By the way, their Garden Salad has always been excellent. Super fresh with crisp romaine lettuce, red and green peppers, red onion, firm cherry tomatoes. read more

I hadn't been to Kellys in a while and after this visit probably won't be going back !!!! We ordered and our scallops were soggy with 5 onion rings and some French fry pieces . 90 dollars with chowder you just expect the food to be decent atleast !!! read more

Horrible horrible changes!! Shame on that company for ruining such a staple! They took a great business and drove it downhill within three months. The Roast Beef is so grizzly it's like chewing rubber. They no longer carry their chicken wings and the onion rings and the fries. They give enough to feed a bird when you order the meal. Unfortunately, it's no longer my go to place for a quick meal when I don't wanna cook during the week. I called and complained about the Roast Beef and there was nothing the manager could do about it. It is what it is. Cheap cuts of meat at high prices. You can get a better roast beef sandwich at Londis, or Bill and Bob's! Oh, I forgot to mention I believe they change their signature sauce on the Roast Beef because it did not taste the same. Don't waste your money go elsewhere you'll thank me later. read more

06/28/2025 Saturday 4:55pm Stopping by at Kelly's with wife ordered two Roadt Beef In Danvers,Mass. The establishment had very loud psychedelic music blaring. Polited ask the server to tone the loud music down. This wasn't a entertainment bar. Roast beef was good. Respectfully; 40 year patron read more

Kelly's has sure gone down hill. The fries use to be massive now it is just about enough for a small bird. Beyond this they removed the ketchup where you could fill your cups and give you one small packet. Time to find a new place to get my roast beef and fries. read more

The food is good. The service....not so much. Getting your food can take a very loooong time

Had the roast beef sandwich (all ways). Very good, friendly service, food came fast. Very clean restaurant, love the giant aquarium.

I've always came to order here before and somehow there's always something missing in my order and I never said anything until today. I came in today to pick up two caesar salads and asked for the dressing on the side. When I went to grab my order, after paying, the cashier told me they ran out of caesar dressing but could give me Italian instead -- which made it sound like the salads didn't have any dressing on them at all. When I checked the bag, I saw the salads already had caesar dressing mixed in, and I also noticed I got charged extra for it. I mentioned it to the employee, but he didn't seem to care at all and called over his manager. The manager came over with a nasty attitude and said, "What's the deal? Why does it matter if the dressing is on it or not?" I told him I had asked for it on the side, and he just said, "I don't care." I was honestly shocked. At that point I asked for a full refund and returned the food, and he repeated again, "I don't care." To be honest, it wasn't even about the dressing or the money, it was about the way they both handled it and not just today with the lack of service. The way he spoke to me was completely uncalled for. I was calm and polite the whole time, but the way I was treated was just rude and unprofessional. I'm sorry but if you're miserable at your job and don't wanna be there, why are you still working there? Stop taking it out on customers. After today, this was the final straw. I'm never coming back here ever again. read more

First time at Kelly's. My wife and I got the large roast beef sandwiches with onion rings and a drink. We weren't disappointed. Roast beef was tender, onion rings were outstanding. Service was excellent. Will be coming back when I'm in the area. read more

I use to love Kelly's. I just stopped to get a lobster roll. Lamest lobster roll ever you are known for generous portions for a premium price. Tell the new owners portion control might work for profits, but not for bringing customers back again and again.. Kelly says survived over 50 years for a. read more

It's been maybe 7-8 years since I've been here cause I knew how bad the food was...unfortunately I had no other options last night and was actually surprised by how much worse it's gotten. I don't know what it is about this restaurant but even 7 years later they still managed to mess up my order, but that's not my point...the issue is the food. I only went because I figured they're a chain and would have lower prices than family owned roast beef shops but they were actually MORE expensive for WORSE quality. I had paid $17 for a large roast beef and a drink...just to have the beef weirdly compressed into a burger type patty with a cold bun. I was maybe 2 bites in before I hit a hard chunk I quite literally almost chipped my tooth on. I figured it was a tendon or something and kept eating. This happened another TWO times and I had no other choice than to throw it away. This wasn't a case of me being a picky eater...it was just me being reminded how BAD this food is. DO NOT EAT HERE, you'll get cheaper, MUCH better quality food 5 minutes down the road at one of the family owned shops. read more

kelly, where do i begin... your burgers are like no other. you butter your buns to perfection, cook your patty beautifully... you're perfect. also good calamari and onion rings. kelly's is pretty great. even greater if you like cheeseburgers and anything that's not lobster. that stuff is too expensive read more

There is something comforting when you eat a Kelly's roast beef sandwich. Maybe it is the consistency of always getting the exact same tasting sandwich every single time or maybe it is the nostalgia of going to the Revere location oh so many decades ago. In any case, I happened to be in the Danvers area and decided to get a large roast beef sandwich ($10.75) and medium onion rings ($6.25) for a total of $17 plus tax. The sandwich was served on a toasted sesame seed bun which is different than most places I've been to where they serve their large sandwich on a toasted onion roll. The roast beef wasn't rare but It was still quite tasty and the best thing about Kelly's is that they don't "over-sauce" their sandwiches where you end up with a big mess on your hands. What can I say about their onion rings? Although not a fan of their batter, it is still quite tasty and they were fired nice and crispy without being too too greasy. I can't believe I am saying this but there was so much I probably could have gotten the small size and been satisfied. As I sit in the Danvers Kelly's Roast Beef parking lot eating my lunch with the AC on and yacht rock radio cooling down the 95 degree temperature outside I had only one thought looking at all the happy people going in and out - the one thing that would have topped this would have been ordering this at the Revere location and watching all the people like me on the beach attempting to take one last grasp of summer before it comes to an end. Roast Beef ... beautiful summer day in the 90's ... it doesn't get any better than this! read more

My family has been a regular patron for many years. We got regular order, one fish sandwich with extra tater sauce, two large roast beef sandwich and medium fry. Got home no tartar sauce and medium french fries was so small I was very surprised. Normally a bigger size. We called store to complain. Manager told us that corporate changed the size. He didn't offer anything for the trouble at all. Very poor customer service and management. Will never go there again. read more

7/23/24 waited in the drive-through for 20 minutes with one vehicle in front of me. Finally someone came to the first window and asked what I ordered. I said what is going on. They had no answer. They said they just can't get the food ready. I drove off without my order. This place is an utter.sh&t hole as far as service goes. The last time I went through the drive-through they gave me fries instead of onion rings. Had a circle back and wait for the onion rings. I will never go back to Kelly's at this location every Saugus and Revere have better service Went straight down route 114 to PRIME where they have awesome beefs. DON'T GIVE KELLY'S AT THIS LOCATION YOUR BUSINESS ANYMORE. read more

I'm home visiting and of course had to hit Kelly's, this time for a roast beef sandwich. We arrived around 7:30pm to find the restaurant pretty empty and quite a few workers chatting behind the counter. After placing our order, we attempted to find a clean booth to sit in, but found that all of the empty booths along the front of the restaurant were filthy. None of the multitude of employees behind the counter attempted to clean any of the booths so I was left wiping down a dirty table and seats with a napkin. We asked to have one of the sandwiches cut in half, but when our server dropped off our food, the sandwich was not cut. His response was, "well, I told them to cut it" and stood there. Instead of offering to take it back and get it sliced, we had to ask him for a knife to cut it ourselves. While I'm still a big fan of the food, I'm extremely disappointed by the management of this location, who is obviously not holding their employees accountable for maintaining the upkeep of the restaurant. read more

Roast Beef has become absolute garbage. subshops have better cuts. Bit into the nastiest roast beef I've ever had. Fatty, thick, not even heated up. Couldn't even chew it. asked for a refund. Manager seemed like this wasn't first complaint. They used to be good, but post sale it is terrible overpriced garbage. There have been too many bad meals from this place and I won't be returning. read more

I ordered Kelly's today online. Went to picked up there was no order ready for pick up . Had to wait 20 minutes so they can try to find the order. The food was missing 3 items. Called the place and spoke to the manager who said there is nothing he can do about the incidence, refuses to give his name when I asked him then he cuts off the line. If the Manager like that I wonder, why his employees not doing their jobs right when preparing the orders. read more

I visited Kelly's today with my companion. My error was not ordering my usual cheeseburger; I tried the new steak and cheese. Perhaps that selection of meat was taken from between the horns and tenderized with something ? The usual fare is always delicious. Drive through lane was very busy at 2 pm. Kelly's is popular and serves the best around. I guess 4/29 was not my day . My suggestion is that selection might be best deleted . By 5 pm my disrupted innards compelled me to write the review.

Mac n chees was freezing cold line takes like 30 minutes to get food never going again dont buy!!!

I had no idea how extensive their seafood menu was. From what I remembered I thought they only serve roast beef sandwiches. Okay so I also realized on this trip they are probably the most expensive drive-thru. $19 for a lobster roll, which is phenom by the way. Couldn't taste any fresher. I recently tried the $13 cod fish sandwich. Absolutely the best fish sandwich I've ever had. Ordered it with cheese and tartar sauce. The food was more than satisfying and I will certainly return here again for the fish sandwich before I head back to Cali. Wish we had Kelly's in the North Bay. I will be on the hunt for a fish sandwich as bomb as this back at home! read more

Very unfortunate that I have to give Kelley a two star review this is the second time I have been to this Kelley's recent weeks I purchased a large roast beef meal with just a slice of cheese I asked for the sandwich to be extra rare both times the sandwich had one slice of what appeared to be a nice rare roast beef sandwich on top followed bye well dad roast beef A large roast beef meal which comes with french fries and onion rings and a soda is over $14 at that price you can eat lunch anywhere the quality control has gone downhill at Kelly's Roast Beef to the point where I will need some serious thought about returning read more

Food was ok. The 2 of us went here cause another place we wanted to eat had a wait. One of us got the Large roast beef with cheese and sauce....was not very big and a small French fries. I'm gluten free and they had nothing noted anywhere on the menu that I could see that they accommodate GF persons. I wasn't hungry so I asked about the chili and someone from the back had to tell me it was GF but never acknowledged anything else I could get that was also GF. When we got our order at the seat, she then asked me if I was planning to eat the fries and I said no bc they were probably not GF. Then she said she could have made them GF. lol. No one mentioned that when we placed the order.... It was very difficult to find a clean table on this Saturday afternoon. The dining room was very dirty...kind of icky. I watch one person actually get some napkins and clean a table before they sat down and then another party walked around looking for a clean table like we did. No one was cleaning tables....yucky! It's flu season! Used to be a great place...sad... read more
