Customer Comments

Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed my Stone Crabs and beer yesterday and my wife enjoyed her shrimp, clam chowder, and wine. We will be sure to visit whenever we are in town and highly recommend Kelly's Landing. Thanks.

I had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant this past Saturday. Some friends has recommended it, and so the four of us decided to try it. Wow! The food was great! And what friendly staff! Our server was Donna, and she asked if we had been there before, and explained everything to us. She was great! And your hostess Toni was probably the friendliest one we have EVER had in any restaurant! Both of these girls made us feel so welcome. We will surely be returning SOON! It was a great time, thanks!

My husband and I came to the restaurant last night for the first time, our hotel recommended it. I don't usually send emails when i am pleased with places, but i have to give credit where it is due. The food was good, Darlene the waitress was very good as well, but your hostess Toni was absolutely amazing! She was so personable and caring (she checked on everyone to see if they needed anything) and did it all with true compassion as well as a smile. Our next trip down there, we will definitely be back to your restaurant-and will highly recommend it to our friends and family that live in South Florida. Your clam chowder is great! Great job.

I want to say thank you for the great service from Laura. My hat goes of to the chefs. They served a wonderful meal. Couldn't ask for a better dinner and atmosphere. We will return soon. Thank you.

My name is Stewart, and I visited your wonderful establishment on St.Patrick's Day, and was fortunate enough to stop by the 8th of April, Opening Day @ Fenway! It was wonderful, and I sure hope to stop by the next time I'm able to get to Florida. Thanks for the Hospitality.

We were one of the couples that came in w/the crazy party of 14 from Coral Springs. Once again Donna was our waitress and we enjoyed the food and service so much. Thank you so much for supporting our music program (Coral Glades High School) with all your gift certificates, you were very generous!

BEST OF SOUTH FLORIDA 2010 - BEST SEAFOOD
Kelly's Landing relocated from Boston to South Florida 23 years ago and has long since established a loyal following. This little place is such a hot spot for New England seafood that the wait for a table can take up to an hour. The New England clam chowder is the perfect warmup for lobster, clam fritters, crab cakes, sea scallops, mussels, scrod, oysters, shrimp and Ipswich clams. Kelly's also makes a mean burger (spelled "burgah" on the menu) and the kind of baked beans that earned Boston its Beantown nickname.

This small, family-owned place has been in business for 24 years. Its signature seafood is flown in twice a week from New England. Owner Debbie Skinner started as a waitress at the restaurant and gradually bought out the original owners. On a busy weekend night you'll find Skinner and her family members working the dining room. Whether you're a regular or it's your first time, it's the kind of friendly service that's rare in South Florida. Come early on Saturday night or make a reservation, because the restaurant fills quickly. You could end up outside waiting unless you can nab one of the seats at the bar, where the Red Sox game is usually on the television. While you're perusing the menu, order some of the "Best Eva" onion rings to munch on -- they live up to their billing. A half order is enough for everyone at the table to taste. The little lobster icons on the menu will guide you to the specialties. A must-have: Ipswich clams, either steamed in the shells or deep fried. We shared a plate of the fried, full-bellied clams. With a light batter, they were almost as good as the ones from New England roadside clam shacks. Another winner was sea scallops. The sweet seafood was enhanced by the preparation, baked with lemon and butter and topped with fresh breadcrumbs.

We just received your Email for the special Father's day menu. I don't know if you remember us but we were at your incredible restaurant during our anniversary trip the last week of May. I've been wanting to write to tell you that your food is beyond description and your staff is incredible. The service was outstanding, friendly and attentive. We absolutely loved the dinner and the lunch we had. You were wonderful in sending us the artichoke dip to celebrate our anniversary. We frequently come to Ft. Lauderdale and will always return to Kelly's. Thank you so much for the wonderful dining experience. I only wish you would open a restaurant in New York.

I just wanted to drop a note to let you know what a great experience we had dining at your restaurant last night. It was out first time there, and we will definitely be back! The server was good, the food was great, but your hostess really stood out and made the evening most enjoyable! Not only did she keep us informed about our wait, but she was the absolute sweetest and very accommodating. She came by our table a few times to check that everything was okay and got us whatever we needed when our server was busy. Thank you for a great Friday night.

Best New England seafood in Ft lauderdale with a casual atmosphere. Don't have to be a RedSox fan to enjoy! Clam and Lobster rolls are out of this world. Within walking distance of the cruise ships. Great Location and Great Staff! Must stop if you are in the area. They will treat you right!

I have enjoyed Kelly's for over 20 years- great food, great people. In addition to the New England seafood specialties their burgers are the best. And, the stuffed Quahog...and on and on. Great place.

I grew up in Boston but was never a fan of fried clams until I went to Kelly's Landing. Their clam roll is out of this world and the chow-duh is absolutely delish!! Service is always great. Can't wait to go back!
