Ok, I'll be 100% honest. Some family members have questioned my integrity because they're blindly loyal to other North Shore beef spots. I'm 57 and I've had HUNDREDS of North Shore beefs. If you want the best one I've ever had, THIS MONSTER IS IT! And it's NOT EVEN A SUPER BEEF! COME ON! Look at this beast! Tender beef, served warm and absolutely loaded. I don't do sauce... lettuce and extra mayo for me. GOLD! Mike's Place is officially #1 on the FDG Top 10, dethroning Nick's in Beverly, which remains ELITE at #2. The crown has changed hands. read more

Mike's Place - Large beef - Sandwiches Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

Idk if she was having a bad day or what, but the woman at the front was very rude. I simply wanted to ask a question about the menu and she rudely asked me "do I see her working" ... safe to say I did not order a damn thing from here and just walked out. I think she thought I was asking a question about a delivery or trying to pick one up, but nonetheless customer service should still be a given. Or maybe it was something else, but I Will not be back here to know whether the food is good or not. read more

Came here because we saw some recent good reviews on the north shore beef app. We both got jr beef's on extra toasted onion rolls - buns were toasted perfectly, and beef was tender. Also the customer service was great! read more

While visiting my home town of Saugus from FL, I wanted to get a great chicken Kabob salad some OG roast beef sandwiches. Mike's was the perfect choice! Everything was delicious and the service was great! Highly recommend!! read more

I am on a mission currently for the best roast beef sandwich so I can build a new item for a menu and I have a jewel that can't be beat! This has been the best super beef that I have ever sampled! Soft onion bun savory and appropriately rare beef, love the use of heavy mayo and the BBQ was spot on! I wish I had taken a pic of our sandwiches as we went three different ways; BBQ and mustard (well), BBQ and mayo (rare) and a small with mayo BBQ on the side. We also enjoyed a GIGANTIC plate of French fries, thin but not shoestring, good potato ratio!! This was a hit with a veteran roast beef lover and new comer to this game and an 11 year old (thumbs up with a full mouth)!! I recommend the drive, a local drive by or just a new adventure in this roast beef sandwich spot!! Thanks for the great service and wonderful food! read more

So if you are looking for an amazing Toast beef this is it. Forget Mike in Everett, this place gives you more bang for your buck. Same James River Bbq sauce. Worth every penny read more

We've been finding our way through hit or miss take out in Saugus, after moving from Revere recently. Last night was definitely a hit when we tried Mike's. I got a super pastrami, which was excellent. It's hard to find a good one around here anymore. My husband got the super roast beef and he wants to go back today for another. We got an order of onion rings also. They were better than anywhere I've had them in a long time. It's definitely a place we will frequent often. read more

Good food decent prices. The steak and cheese is packed and tastes good. One thing is that the sub rolls get "wet". An upgraded roll would be 5 stars. read more

Good food, the restaurant is clean, ok services Very recommend it for people likes eating wrap, subway, and salads read more

Last time I went I asked for an extra grilled roll. I get there the guys making my order and goes extra grilled meat I said no extra grilled roll. they take your order then hang up. He says we always grill the roll. I said yeah I just want it extra. They act annoyed then serve us these. beyond inedible can't believe I ate a good amount it made me feel sick. furthermore they didn't grill the roll at all which tells me it was intentional. If it was a mistake I would have gone back but it was like how do you like that guy... so this is my retaliation. I was a server for 10 years so I know how to not be a rude customer. I'm beside myself with this place. Learn how to treat customers! read more

I swear I have never had a better roast beef sandwich or service with a better atmosphere! I am devastated there is NOTHING like this place in Tampa, but while home in Lynn for the summer, Mikes is down the street! If I lived here a week would not pass without 1-2 nights being Mikes! The family and employees are exceptional! They care a great deal about there product and their customers and fast and outstanding service should be there tag line! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Just be careful backing up not to hit the wall seems to be a common thing :) read more

After 20 years in Saugus, finally made it in there, the place was crowded but I was HUNGRY. Damn. But dinner for 2 ready to go in less than 7 minutes!!! WOW. I ordered the roast beef with lettuce, tomato, mayo and light onions, VERY light onions. Took a bite and ouch, had to open up the sandwich and scrape most of the onions. Nonetheless, that sandwich was so fricken good I STILL rate Mike's Place * * * * *. Best roast beef sandwich in MANY years! The fish, chips and everything else were also * * * * *. I expected some negative digestive effects from all the fried food, but none. They must use high-quality frying oils and change them frequently. Previously I had sent a few guests there and they were also extremely pleased. read more

I drive from revere to Saugus for my roast beef. This place is the only place I'll go for a good roast beef sandwich. Parking is convenient. Prices are good. The 2 guys that work in the back are fast paced and friendly. The portions are a good size. The bathroom is very clean. My hubby comes here a lot and gets all different things. He loves it. I myself am very picky. It took me a long time to find a place that cooked the roast beef correctly. Yum. I love it. Try it, you will be back at this place in a week read more

UM YUMMMM. Found this place on yelp coming from the city and let me tell you...mike you did not disappoint. If you're looking for delicious grub right off route one check this place out!

Just ordered a chicken cutlet sub toasted with provolone, lettuce, onion, light mayo. Received a chicken parm

I used to like the roast beef sandwiches but the last few times the beef was way to rare and not good! I will stick to the fried offerings which are good. The french fries are not the same as they used to be. Hint for owners cook the beef to a higher internal temp, it will taste better. read more

Well...been coming here for decades. Last week I ordered sm. pastrami sub. $8.55. Sub roll wasn't toasted and fatty pastrami was almost hard to find....mostly bread Literally 1/4 cup of meat on each side. I actually called to ask if it was different owners, she ( blonde woman) put me on hold...and never picked up line again. Unfortunately my days of driving from Lynn to this place is over. Wish I took a picture. read more

2 starts not 1 because the food was semi decent. Awful customer service! My uncle ran in to get a quick roast beef while I was in the car, on the phone with work. When he came out, he was clearly upset. Note: My uncle is partially blind. I think you can easily tell.. If you can't tell, you would think he was unable to read. he had a $5 bill and $100 bill on him. He asked if there was a roast beef on the menu for $5 and the guy snapped at him saying "no" and rudely pointed to the menu. If there was a $5 roast beef, he was simply going to order a roast beef. Since he was told no, he ordered a roast beef, fry and drink. Paid with $100, asked for a receipt and left. When he got in the car he asked me how much the sandwich was and I told him $5.50. Why could the guy simply not tell him that? Why so rude? If he had known, he would've ordered a roast beef handed him the five dollars and reached into his pocket for his change. What if he only had $5? Most decent human beings wouLd have stated the price of a roast beef along with 1 or 2 other items fOr $5 or under.....just in case money was the issue. Thankfully it wasn't....instead it was a simply the fact that he could not see the menu. No tolerance for the disabled. I hate rude people. read more

Website says they are open until 10.pm. called at 845pm to.place an order. They told me they were done for the night. Thats great customer service right there. Just close whenever they want and screw their customers. You ask them to cook the roast beef medium and you get it burnt. Just ridiculous read more

They have the best roast beefs hands down! Food is always fresh. They are fast with your order.

This place is amazing! Every time I come home from LA this is a must have! Always delicious! read more

Awesome roast beef sandwiches that hit the spot. Did a taste test of a few places and mikes won hands down

Holy sweet baby Jesus. I'm from Saugus so I might be slightly bias, but Mike's is the best. Not only is their food amazing, but the people who work here are so kind and incredibly friendly. I moved away and hadn't been around in a while but I was craving their food like crazy, so I stopped in tonight and it was as if I was VIP. I know that sounds kinda silly for a roast beef place, but it's true. Makes me miss home a little. I also overheard a guy talking about his daughter who also misses the food here because she lives in Colorado now. He mentioned that someone out there told her they heard that Kelly's RB was the best...and if you've ever had a Roast Beef from Mike's you know that's completely false. Haha read more

This place has the BEST chicken broccoli ziti, hands down!! It can easily feed two people and they give you a side of toasted bread.. also their steak and cheese (extra cheese) is delicious read more

The real deal best roast beef on the North Shore. Although I'm not sure Lynn is the North shore at all! read more

Used to skip class in high school and sneak out for a sub at Mike's. (I went to Classy right around the corner) Moved away to NY and it's still just as good whenever I come home. Chicken cutlet sub is perfectly crispy and delicious! The sub was overflowing with food, not kidding. The chicken was warm, crispy and tender- the pieces were plenty. The people who work there are 10/10 for customer service. My sub came with all the works...onion, lettuce, peppers etc. lettuce was crisp and clean. I asked for buffalo sauce on the sub with mayo on the side. It was so filling I couldn't even finish the second half of the sub. Food staple in Lynn with amazing staff and even better subs. read more

So much food!! I have been here twice and wish I could go every single day! This place has such a large menu! Everything is made fresh! The roast beef sandwich is huge!! It came with fries and a salad with housemade dressing that was delicious! The gyro also is yummy and it has homemade tzatkiki which was outstanding! If you're feeling healthy I definitely recommend the beef tip salad! It's a huge portion and the steak was deliciously seasoned! Mikes also has very fast service and the employees are very friendly!! read more

I have been coming here since 2001. Hands down the best Roast beef I have EVER had. The junior beef three way literally melts in your mouth and was literally all i ate in college. I was on the north shore today and I HADD to see if Mikes place was still as good as i remembered so I stopped in and grabbed a few junior beef three way for my family at home on the south shore to try. It was quite the hit! Thank you Mikes Place for always being there for for me. I can't wait until we meet again my friend. read more
