    Onion rings
    Samantha A.

    My family recently took a visit to this location. I've been to most of their other locations before. This time, I downloaded their app for rewards ahead of time. The drive thru was smooth and the staff members were so friendly! I ordered two sandwiches, fries, onion rings, chicken fingers and the fried shrimp. We loved the food! My husband likes the meat well done and it was the first time we tried it like this here. Everyone was happy! The only thing that we didn't love was the quality of the onion rings. They were overcooked and didn't taste that great. It was a fluke since everything else was fried so well.

    Plenty of handicap parking (5 I think)

    It has been quite a long time since I sunk my teeth into a Kelly's roast beef sandwich. Glad I have this spot as an option when I'm in the area. There was a short line to order when we arrived. This gave us time to read through the menu. I am surprised by all the additional menu items. Kelly's original location at Revere Beach was roast beef sandwiches, fries, onion rings, fried seafood and soft drinks. That was it, and it was the bomb. Those seagulls love them some Kelly's fries. The line did not move very quickly so be patient. After paying we were given a table number and cup. To use the freestyle machine tap the screen for the drink menu - there are many options- tap your preferred beverage and a new menu appears offering the option to add flavored syrups to your soft drink (vanilla, cherry, lime, etc) The food arrived quickly. These large roast beef sandwiches are quite large. We always eat them plain w/just a little salt. The roast beef is tasty and very lean. The sesame bun is toasted. Our side of onion rings could have stayed in the fryer a little longer, but they were good. Arriving unsalted in a paper bag we added a few salt packets and gave the bag a shake. Salt, pepper, ketchup, additional napkins and straws are located near the soda machines. Our table needed to be cleaned when we arrived, and we cleaned it again and thew away our trash when we left. Once the rush was over a team member came around and washed down the tables. Restrooms are near the cashier, both clean. Ladies has two stalls and a baby changing station. Plenty of parking and they have a drive thru. The parking lot is not attached to the Market Basket lot next door, but there is a pedestrian bridge between the two if you find yourself in the wrong lot.

    sorry not the great picture but... OMG!! Kelly's Roast Beef never disappoint! I did the slider combo with onion rings and I just couldn't resist. The onion rings were perfect and the slider was so full of roast beef.

    Terrible clam plate. I'm not a fan. The clams were old, the bellies had no flavor and no texture. The rest was rubbery, greasy and flavorless. The batter was no better than wonder bread. The fries were also terrible. They had no potato taste, were overly salty, stale and greasy. The onion rings were 50/50. The ones that were not burned were good. No cole slaw available. They should change their cooking oil way more frequently. I threw half the plate away rather than eat it and get sick.

    Kelly's Roast Beef opened in the former Burger King site, across the road from Panera Bread. This North Shore staple serves up their roast beef sandwiches, burgers, fried seafood, chicken fingers, fries, onion rings, salads, shakes, and Coke Freestyle fountain drinks. From my previous review of a former location in MA, I thought it was pricey 15 years ago, but the prices here actually seem pretty fair and comparable to other places in the area. The place is order at the counter, eat in, takeout, or drive thru. If eating in, you take seat in the dining room and they bring your order to you when ready, given a number for your table. There is also outside patio seating in front of the building. I stopped in at the Kelly's Roast Beef in Salem NH for dinner. I ordered the Fish & Chips ($13.95 plus tax) and a Large 3-Way Roast Beef Sandwich ($11.40 plus tax), the staple sandwich of the North Shore. I took a seat at a booth and my food was brought out to me in 5 minutes. The large 3-Way roast beef sandwich had thin sliced medium rare roast beef, mild spicy BBQ sauce, mayo, and American cheese slice on a thick toast sesame bun. The amount of meat was pretty decent, not overloaded and messy like at other roast beef sandwich places I've been to. The Fish & Chips plate was a good amount of fried food goodness including 2 pieces, deep fried golden & breaded crisp outside, standard golden fries, and homemade crispy onion rings, tartar sauce on the side. I enjoyed half of my food in the restaurant and packed the rest to go. Overall, I am glad there's a new option in my area for North Shore Roast Beef as I usually go to Nick's and Londi's for roast beef sandwiches

    Kelly's extra large, jumbo shrimp. $15 they were 41/50s at best.

    We have been here several times and was great. Today my roast beef sandwich was cold. That's why I am eating 3 stars.

    Fantastic! The reviews are accurate. Small place with a small town vibe. I came late (6:30) on a…read moreMonday evening to avoid any potential local crowd. There was only one other couple in the place. Several orders were picked up for takeout in my time there. I naturally tried the clam chowder. Very good. Nice and thick. A very generous portion of fish and chips was served along with coleslaw. The fish was in bite sized nuggets which make them easy to eat. The fish was fresh and tasty with a great complement of tartar sauce and malt vinegar. Coleslaw was on point. Steak fries were decent. This was night 3 of my 12 night stay for work. I will definitely come back to try the lobster roll.

    Man, what a hole in the wall! I wanted some good old-fashioned New England clam chowder while I was…read morehere, and I searched and found this place. It wasn't much to look at, and the air conditioning was spotty on this exceptionally hot day, but I wanted a pint of New England clam chowder and by gosh. That's what I got! Not to mention a small shrimp cocktail - my only demerit was the shrimp cocktail was sitting in a bucket of ice. The bottom half was in the ice, which was good, but the top half was roasting away in the extraordinarily hot interior of the restaurant! I decided to take a chance and ordered that too. You know, it wasn't something special to look at. But? The taste? The clam chowder was epic! The shrimp cocktail wasn't too bad, but the shrimp were a little limp - the cocktail sauce was pretty good though. So was I impressed? Well, after having grown up in Seattle with great clam chowder? I think this clam chowder stood up very well to what I had as a child. But was it so special that I would come back? Maybe not - but damn it hit the right spot!

We sat and were greeted by our server, she was nice and attentive despite being busy. I ordered a glass of the May Rosé special, and my mom got a nonalcoholic rosé. We both liked ours. Then we split the crab cake appetizer which we liked, although small...one piece for almost $20. We also were brought bread which was tasty paired with an olive oil mix. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli. There were only 6 of them but a good size, I opted out of a protein since they were a little pricey. I loved my meal, the sauce was creamy and paired nicely with the filling of the raviolis. My mom ordered the scallops that came with a lobster risotto. She liked hers as well and the scallops were a pretty good size. I will say the food was good and the overall experience was enjoyable despite having a high top even when I expressed to the host and manager it would be uncomfortable for my mother. We did see other moms receive a rose but my mom did not, I think only for the reserved tables and not any paying customer. Pricey but lovely inside and food quality was good just a little on the smaller side for portions. It's in a great location at the village so you can grab a bite to eat and walk around before or after. It made for a good Mother's Day meal.
