Reviews for Kelly's Roast Beef in Danvers, MA
Absolutely incredible roast beef sandwiches. The beef was so tender, and the au jus was a perfect companion. I?m beyond... appreciative for their gluten-free bun, it was delicious! They even ask if the bun is a preference or an allergy, which isincredibly considerate. The drink stations were something else, I don?t think I?ve ever had the pleasure of so many flavoroptions for ginger ale or cream soda before! We loved it so much that we can back twice before leaving town ???? Read more
I will not go back. The lady at the counter knew just enough to carry a conversation about the gluten free items. I was told the... roast beef and chicken are gluten free and that they have a dedicated fryer for the fries. They told me they get special GF buns(these are the kind that crumble as you eat) and that they are kept separate from other bread. They change their gloves and usea separate (but right next to) section to make the sandwiches. They use the same toppings from what I can tell.. She wasseemingly nice until the moment I said, I'm sorry but I didn't see her change her gloves, did she? (I watched her clear theentire board of all the other orders before completing mine.) She literally would have to of been a ninja to change hergloves... The cashier's response was "She's worked her for 30 years, of course she changed her gloves... What do you just wantyour money back!". It was very rude. Working some place for 30 years doesn't mean she understands how cross contamination worksor what gluten actually is. I ended up getting sick shortly after I left. So, this location is a hard pass due to the service Ireceived. They indicate allergy on the receipt. Fries were served hot and fresh, roast beef was good but not worth the risk ofgetting sick again. 15 dollars for the meal. Read more
Had the clam chowder. Clams were full of sand and the dairy was spoiled in the chowder. Had to toss it out. I also had the... onion rings. Bit into a raw onion. Revere location is tolerable, this location is inedible. Never ordering from here again.Such a disappointment. Read more
Very cool fish tank, Niki's in Georgetown gives you a super with better beef for pretty much the same price as Kelly's large.... Kelly's still has the best buns though Read more
I asked if I could switch the French fries for Cole slaw on my fish plate and they were very agreeable. What they did not yell... me is that meant they would remove my onion rings also. When I asked the manager where my onion rings were he said that itwasn't a menu option because Cole slaw was more expensive than fries. Why wasn't I told when I asked? What other restaurant doesnot substitute Cole slaw and fries?! The manager couldn't care less. The food is not worth the uncaring and poor service. Read more
Unfortunately, my first dining experience at Kelly?s wasn?t a great one. I ordered the fried scallop platter which came with... onion rings and french fries. The scallops were simply okay. Not much flavor there besides salty. They were a bit watery and thebreading kept falling off. Tartar sauce didn?t really make them any better. The onion rings were what I would consider inediblewith soggy breading, zero flavor, and the onion itself was undercooked and crunchy. The fries are typical flavorless thick cutfrozen fries. Sadly, the ketchup was the most flavorful thing on my plate. Based on my experience, the $24 (+tax) price tagisn?t exactly worth it, although there were a LOT of scallops on the plate. Overall, I?m going to give Kelly?s three starsbecause I would like to come back and give another menu item a try, rather than basing it off one meal I wasn?t a fan of. Myboyfriend, on the other hand, loved the scallops, but agrees with me on fries and onion rings. Next time, he?d just order thescallops by themselves. Read more
Overall this place is top notch. $17 for a lobster roll, roast beef, and side combo! Best bang for you buck thats for sure, and... the lobster rolls are filled with lobster not just mayo! The clams are full bellied though my only complaint is the breading isa bit lacking in flavor, but since I usually dunk them in tarter sauce its basically a non-issue. They got a bunch of locationsso its easy to get access to as well. Definitely worth a try! Read more
As always Kelly's hit the spot. Miss the Natick location where I worked as a kid but still make a drive out to get dinner here... couple times a year. I will never forget my years working with Paul, Nelly, Chach, Jim and the rest of the crew. Was a greatfamily atmosphere working there and I definitely miss all those guys. Food is still very good and never regret the drive when Ifinally do make it back out here. Read more
