Cinnamon Fried Dough Bites
Emily C.

Went on a Saturday night for a birthday and they had no issue with a large group. They reserved 5 tables for us at the bar and we all had a great time and cheap drinks!

Love The Jug The Brown Jug is an old favorite in Chelsea Ma and it's new location is excellent! I love thin crust pizza that's crispy with plenty of cheese and sauce. It's a round pizza but because it's hand made, the circle isn't always perfect but the taste always is! Love its new location and the pizza is as great as I remember! Great bar drinks, staff is very nice. Very clean and professionally run! I highly recommend ! Thanks

How does this taste so dusty

How does one make such a thin pizza uncrunchy.... Bottom taste like paper and the rest was alright but wow things flatter than paper and somehow doughy.. overall pizza was a four letter swear word that can't be used here.

White pizza w chicken, sun dried tomatoes and basil

My husband and I went there for lunch yesterday and it was my first time. The food was really good and the service was excellent! The restaurant was very clean but very old school. I would definitely recommend the fried string beans and pizza!

Sweet chili wings
Marni M.

Ordered take out with a few friends who have come from here before. The food had sat for about 10 minutes before we started eating so it cooled down quite substantially. We ordered the fried pickles, fried cheese ravioli, sweet chili and Buffalo wings plus a gluten free margarita pizza. This was plenty only for three people. Having had limited experience with fried pickles I enjoyed them as they held their structure even being cooled down. The fried ravioli were exactly how you'd expect and not really anything special. We were originally going to get the mozzarella sticks but they ran out a month ago and haven't gotten a shipment since. The Buffalo wings were light in flavor as they were almost dry since the sauce was so light. I liked the sweet chili wings but then again those are my typical go-to. They were a moderate size and relatively moist on the inside. The margarita pizza had a lot of cheese on it with a passable gluten free crust for regular bread. Overall, standard experience and wouldn't mind ordering again or trying another local establishment.

The food is good! We got wings, pizza and had the Mac n cheese bites. I like the vibes of the restaurant they seem more family-like! Which I LOVE. The server was lovely and they even made sure to confirm our order before making it as we had a special request for half red half white sauce!

Chicken ceaser salad and suppose to be garlic parmesan fries

First time I ordered I ordered a salad a couple days ago half way esting it there's a fruit fly in it. Today I called again for a pic up order I ordered garlic French fries and I got salted fries instead. I called and complaint about the fries but to be ask to go in again to get another order is crazy order should of been right the first time. The lady did say to go in the next day to pick up a another order of fries but how I feel now won't be ordering from here again. 2 times can't let it happen the 3rd time to be wasting my money.

Went here for lunch with my husband and they had great food and large portions! Didn't feel rushed to leave and had a relaxing time! Yummy drinks too!

Traditional Old school, thin crust pizzas They do it well Nice local pub, great tv, fun sports memorabilia on the walls Keno for those that are looking for that Only downside for me on my last try, the draft beers were out of service. Mechanical issues

Yes the Brown Jug is still around. It's located behind McDonalds in the far corner of Parkway Plaza. The Atmosphere is still reminiscent of days gone by with the TVs blaring the beer is pouring off tap in the middle of pizza deep into the walls. If anyone remembers the old days and Chelsea when the jog was off the parkway this location has a little bit different feeling but still has the same booths. The beers come out cold the drinks are not water down and the pizza is thin crust never a bad one. Great place to hang out at night also a great place to bring the family for a night out for pizza it fits every situation give it a try.

Was at the airport picking something up and decided to try this place. Parking is street parking…read moreand I grabbed a spot a couple blocks away. Place was about half full on a Tuesday night around 6:30. Sat at the bar and had a beer. Bartender was nice guy, exactly what you'd expect in a neighborhood joint. He moved at his own pace so service was choppy. I got the BBQ steaktips with rice. They had a nice charcoal taste and were served with a side of BBQ sauce, not basted. The sauce tasted like it was James River BBQ sauce, the sauce used by north shore beef places and was good. Ri e was generic rice pilaf. It came with a basic salad. Overall the meal was good, just wouldn't say great. Will likely return as I want to try their pizza.

I ordered this pizza after a late night walk in East Boston. I found Kelley's was the only pizza…read moreplace opened until 1am during a weekday! The pizza was hot and fresh and smelled amazing. The sauce was not too sweet but also perfectly balanced compared to the cheese ratio. I called the order in but the person who answered the phone was very nice and provided great customer service. It's a typical pizza shop on the inside, with some seating areas. The carriage underneath was the only thing I wasn't happy about. It didn't hold up well with the toppings and flopped which caused the cheese and toppings to slide off. Next time, I will ask for it to be extra crispy!

They also have outdoor seating along the side and back for a great view of the water or to people watch folks walking by in Seaport. I could definitely see this place getting crowded for a game. We were seated outside and our waitress was kind and attentive to us. We didn't experience slow service, and it was quick ordering with her. She was on it. We got a pretty big spread of food (honey bbq tenders, nachos, lobster roll, steak and cheese wontons, and margarita pizza). All of it was very average. The flavors were very average and the quality of the food was nothing special. Wish it was more Seaport quality. It's a bummer since not a single plate was piping hot when it got to our table. Everything was either room temperate or cold. Still a great spot to hang out in the sun outside!
