Good, Fast and Greasy -- Skip Soundbites, Go to Kelly's!
Right on the corner in Ball Square is a classic silver diner -- it was brought in on a truck from Delaware! Kelly's is the real thing: a greasy spoon with huge portions, bottomless coffee, sassy waitstaff, and local flavor. Early is best, although even with many people waiting on a weekend the turnover is quick. Big fluffy omelets are a good bet, as is the french toast or a breakfast sandwich. At lunch, there's a daily special, including a New England boiled dinner -- corned beef, "pa-day-das" and carrots. With oldies on the radio and James Dean in the doorway (really!), why on earth anyone ever waits in that line for Soundbites down the street is a mystery. :-)    [06 Jun 2003 13:31:43]

Best Diner in the Area
Love the place. I live about 100 yards from the place and go 3-4 times per week. The waitresses are snappy and fun. Always order breakfast, and ask for extra crispy bacon. Yum!    [20 Jun 2003 06:27:12]

Kelly's ... Yuck!
Due to inclement weather and the long line outside of Soundbites, I decided to try Kelly's. My coffee was reminiscent of the day-old reheated sludge that I had to indulge while serving in the desert. The pancakes were anything but fluffy and tasted what I only can imagine a worn out old sweaty flip flop must taste like. Never again will I stray from Soundbites.    [24 Oct 2003 09:23:33]
