"Kelly’s Roast Beef is often maligned, but that’s because hating is a sport for Bostonians and their neighbors on the North Shore. The provenance of that ire seems to be that Kelly’s decided to expand — quality beef has no time for capitalism, after all. The truth is: Kelly’s hasn’t been around since 1951 because it’s slinging mediocre beef. It’s the OG, and it’s got an ocean view. The fried clams are also the best in the “roast beef and seafood” game." - Terrence Doyle
