Twenty-four years after first opening its doors, this family-owned establishment continues drawing massive crowds who travel specifically to experience authentic New England cuisine without leaving the Sunshine State.

Originally from the Boston area, the family started in the business thirty years ago with a successful seafood restaurant in Weymouth called Kelly’s Landing. What began as one family’s dream of recreating their Massachusetts roots has transformed into Celebration’s unofficial social headquarters, where you’ll find yourself transported straight to a cozy Boston neighborhood tavern the moment you walk through the front door.

Located across from the lake front in downtown Celebration, it is exactly what the family hoped to create — a space in which a person would be equally comfortable meeting friends for happy hour, taking the family for a night out, or spending the afternoon watching football in front of the big screen.

Whether you’re craving that perfect Maine lobster roll or seeking refuge from theme park chaos, this tavern delivers an experience that feels authentically local despite being in the heart of tourist territory.

Seafood & New England Specialties

The Famous Lobster Roll: You’ll discover why visitors plan entire Florida vacations around this single dish. Lobster meat, Hellman’s mayonnaise, celery, scallions & Old Bay seasoning, served on a New England style split top hot dog bun creates the perfect balance of creamy richness and fresh Atlantic flavors. The generous portion of sweet lobster meat practically overflows from the toasted brioche bun, making every bite a maritime celebration.

Award-Winning Clam Chowder: Award winning New England Style… Thick, creamy, and loaded with potatoes and clams defines comfort in a bowl. You’ll taste the difference immediately – this isn’t some watered-down tourist version but the real deal that would make any Bostonian proud. The rich, velvety broth clings perfectly to tender potato chunks and plump clam pieces.

Fried Seafood Combinations: The kitchen hand-batters everything to order, delivering golden perfection with every plate. The fried seafood combo is the best! Hand battered shrimp, clams, scallops and scrod! You’ll appreciate how light and crispy the coating stays while keeping the seafood inside perfectly tender and flaky.

Boston Scrod Sandwich: Kelly’s Landing’s famous fish sandwich…Boston Scrod flown in from Massachusetts, lightly breaded, and fried to a golden brown brings authentic New England flavors direct from the source. The fresh-from-Boston fish arrives with that perfect flaky texture that only comes from quality sourcing.

Turkey Stacker: This towering creation piles comfort food into one magnificent sandwich. Piled high, this thinly sliced turkey cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, and Texas Toast all topped with gravy & thinly sliced onion rings and served with cranberry sauce transforms Thanksgiving dinner into handheld form with every component working in delicious harmony.

Burgers & Land Options

Black & Blue Burger: You can upgrade to bison meat for an elevated experience that delivers bold flavors with every bite. The cajun seasoning creates the perfect crust while blue cheese adds creamy tang that cuts through the richness beautifully.
