Liberty Bell 886 Main Street, Melrose, MA 02176

"I've been going to Liberty Bell, Melrose for many years. The food has always been excellent. The only problem I have is you changed the fries. They use to be amazing,and now they are just awful. It's my only reason for 4 stars on food. Other than that I Love LB Melrose."

"Got a cheeseburger sub with everything, pretty delicious. Onion rings are okay, probably not my favorite."

"The roast beef on my sandwich was off the hook, minus the flattened onion roll. Clam chowder was very good too, if a bit heavy on the potatoes and light on the cream. Shrimp was good, nothing special. Baklava was very tasty but stale. Overall, very good food, super friendly service. Interior was cafeteria style."

"I live in land-locked Pittsburgh. So I try to get a roast beef sammie and fried whole clams whenever I'm in Wakefield. Unfortunately, my regular place closed for vacation. So we went to Liberty Bell in Melrose. I'd heard good things, so I wasn't too worried about it. The roast beef sandwich was a solid meh... nothing specific wrong with it, just not as tasty as my regular place. The fried clams were SO disappointing... they could have been good, but they kind of steamed in their cardboard box at the bottom of the bag, with everything else we ordered piled on top. The box was smashed flat. If they had been packed in their own bag, I think they would have been much better. The coating was steamed and slipped right off... they were pretty much slimy clam bellies. The coating really only stuck to the 'strip' part. The fries would have been better if they hadn't been smashed & steamed. Now the onion rings, even though they were smashed & steamed tasted amazing! I imagine with out the steam & press, they might have been among the best onion rings I've ever had. We also got a large order of mozzarella sticks to share. It was huge! More than we could finish. They tasted fine. That giant box of cheese sticks, a huge cup of marinara and a bunch of sandwiches were piled on top of the clam plate... guaranteeing their doom. Would I go to Liberty Bell again? That's a big fat NOPE! If they don't know better than to smash a $30 fried seafood plate at the bottom of a heavy bag, my money is better spent elsewhere! And... looking at other pics on other reviews here, I see that my experience was not typical. But unfortunately my experience was the one I experienced.... and it could be yours too!"
