Kelly's Roast Beef, a beloved establishment in Worcester, MA, is renowned for its mouthwatering roast beef sandwiches. The foundation of every sandwich is a knotted seeded roll, freshly baked daily, providing the perfect base for a culinary masterpiece.

Each sandwich, including the famous "Three-Way" with James River BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, and Land O'Lakes White American Cheese, is meticulously crafted to perfection. Kelly's uses 25-day aged beef knuckle, seasoned with just salt and pepper, then slow-roasted in a convection oven for 3-4 hours to achieve a succulent, medium-rare finish.

With a rich history dating back to 1951 as a hot dog shack near Revere Beach, Kelly's Roast Beef has perfected its roasting technique over the years. Every location follows a precise roasting schedule to ensure a continuous supply of tender, flavorful roast beef sandwiches that have become a Boston legend.

Don't waste your money. My wife and I usually use New England Roast Beef down the road with great success. However since Kelly's opened here we wanted to try it as it's such a Boston staple....
