Kelly's is the Greatest 5/24/2009

Kelly's diner is perhaps the last great Local Establishment in Ball Square..They Closed Mitchell's Worldy Wings and countless other Great Dinning places in and around Ball square to cater to the Newcomers...If your new in town and want a little taste of Actual local Bostonian Dinning Kelly's is the place to go,I have been Going there since I was a little kid for the better part of 25 years and not much has changed...The only other two places I would recommend in Somerville that have the same feel is Leone's for pizza further down broadway and Victor's Deli (just a few steps away from Kelly's)....If your the stereotypical Newcomer (college Student or Yuppie) please stay away from Kelly's you will not have a good Experience,if you new to the boston area and want to get a feel for the city that used to exist and maybe a little feel of home Kelly's is the place for you.... Pros: Authentic Bostonian Diner more

Stick to the omelettes 7/1/2008

I have only been there twice. The service is ok. The food is greasy, yet edible. But, the last time I went my husband's steak was still really bloody even though he ordered it well done. I know it is a diner and not a steak house, but he could not even eat it, and he is ok with a some red/pink in his steak. I would suggest sticking to the omelettes. Pros: Cheap, ok food, nice servers Cons: Very greasy... more

The Diner 9/18/2007

Oh MY!! the Diner looks incredible, just like it did the first day it arrived in Delaware back in 1952. My daddy was the original and first owner. It was called ""Earl's Diner"" way back then. It is the REAL THING, if you are looking for the original diner experience, Kelly's is it.. I would like to visit the new owners. I know there have been many since my Mother sold it but now it is back in business.. I could never find out where it went until I saw Food Network last nite (9/17/07)....I cried because the memories it holds are priceless... more

THE SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY DON'T EAT HERE. WAITRESSES ARE OLDER WOMAN THAT CAN'T REMEMEBER TO BRING OVER THINGS YOU NEED EVEN THOUGH YOU ALREADY ASKED THEM ONCE, TWICE AND YOU STILL DON'T HAVE IT. PARKING IS LIMITED UNLESS YOU ARE A SOMERVILLE RESIDENT Cons: SERVICE more

Great Foog 11/14/2002

The food here is awesome. You have to get the ham with your breakfast. There is no better breakfast or value anywhere. The service is great. The only bad thing you can say is that you may have to wait for a table because it looks like the secret is out. more
