SARASOTA (SNN TV) – A popular New England seaside restaurants opens in Sarasota, and will also be opening three more Suncoast locations.
Kelly’s Roast Beef opened a location at 5407 University Boulevard at University Town Center, the former home of Sweet Tomatoes. The restaurant is known for its lobster rolls, fried clams, and roast beef sandwiches. It also serves burgers, crispy fries, and of course New England-style clam chowder.
According to the Herald-Tribune, Kelly’s has been a staple in Boston since 1951. Until recently, it was a small company with four corporate-owned stores. Now it’s expanding through franchising.
Kelly’s will also open in the former Albertsons grocery store location in Venice, Creekside Commons in Parrish, and Cocoplum Village Shoppes in North Port — all plazas owned by UTC developer Benderson.
