Kelly’s

For a place that branded itself on its meat, Kelly’s does surprisingly well with seafood. We found a sprightly, creamy broth, rich in potatoes; it’s a bit lighter on the clams, but fully aromatic and delicious. Locations in Allston, Danvers, Medford, Natick, Revere (where it all began), and Saugus. 781-233-5700; kellysroastbeef.com

  1. I grew up going to Kelly’s in Revere…It was a tradition in the cooler weather months to grab a big cup of Kelly’s chowder, roll up the pants and stroll down the beach…aahh, the good ‘ol days 🙂 I absolutely agree with the review.
