Many of you may remember our grandparents, Larry and Maizie ("Ma") Kelly and their fourteen children operating the refreshment stand, servicing both visitors and residents of South Boston. During the depression, when most people could not afford any extras or pleasures in life, "Kelly's Landing" provided young suitors with the opportunity to treat and date to a "a French Fry" or "one of each" while walking along the South Boston Strandway. On the way back, an ice cream cone topped off the evening perfectly.

Upon the deaths of Larry (1939) and Ma (1952,) our parents continued the "Kelly's Landing" tradition. Kelly's specialty was deep fried seafood, particularly clams. Kelly's was also known as a meeting place for South Boston residents to have a bite in the open air with their neighbors. In 1954, the original Public Landing structure was destroyed by a combination of hurricane Carol and a fire. The rebuilt Landing stood until the summer of 1997. The Kelly family had continued operating business until 1974.

Now enjoy the same great taste of our famous fried clams and fresh fish again, as part of our exciting menu that will suit every taste. Brought to you by the third generation of Kelly family, Dick Kelly.
