Kelly's Roast Beef, established in 1951, is renowned for its legendary roast beef sandwiches, crafted from 25-day aged beef knuckles that are seasoned with salt and pepper and slow-roasted to perfection. Each sandwich is made to order, featuring a fresh, knotted seeded roll and customizable toppings, with the signature Three Way sandwich including James River BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, and Land O' Lakes White American cheese.

With a commitment to quality, Kelly's operates with a finely tuned roasting schedule that ensures every sandwich is served with perfectly rested, melt-in-your-mouth beef. The company has grown from its humble beginnings as a hot dog shack on Revere Beach to a beloved franchise, now offering nationwide shipping through Goldbelly.

One of the best roast beef sandwiches ever let alone at a drive through window. I will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu. The chowder is also excellent, quick service too.
