Garbage beef
Walter Z.

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!

My first time. Place is a hidden gem for a good roast beef. Solid all around. Great portions, flavor, and toasted bun.

Great subs. I miss the good food found all over in New England and Mike's did not disappoint. The steak bomb was quite good.

Saugus native so slightly biased, but still easily the best roast beef I've had to date. The chicken kebab is also unreal.

Had dinner here for the first time on 9/5/26. My gf and I…read moreare always looking for new places to have our "date night dinners" and Scopa turned out to be a GREAT CHOICE!! I made reservations to be seated out in the patio which was very cool as we were seating right by the window so we had a nice view and the patio had a nice cool vibe, casual but intimate, perfect for a summer night. Our server was Angelina, she was so sweet & pleasant. We both ordered a cocktail & both choice the minestrone soup as our appetizer ( it was DELICIOUS, served piping hot and a perfect starter)! I chose the Chef's Haddock , gf chose the Orecchiette pasta, both entrees were cooked perfectly, I ate all of mine, gf had to take most of hers home (which was fine with me so I could eat it the next day for lunch)! We truly enjoyed everything about Scopa and we will definitely be back soon & keep Scopa on our " Great Date Night Dinner List"!

The oysters were delicious, and the crab cake was probably my favorite of the starters. The meatball was interesting. It had pork and ground beef and was quite gamey, but it lacked the flavor I was expecting. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken broccoli Alfredo. Unfortunately, the chicken cutlet was pretty bland, and overall, the dish was just okay. I've definitely had better Italian meals. There were a few highlights, but overall, Scopa just didn't leave the impression I was hoping for on my first visit. Maybe I didn't order the right dishes, but based on this experience, I wouldn't be rushing back.

Recently I was craving seafood BIG TIME. As a native Mainer who has lived in the area now for over…read more15 years, it can be tough to find places that serve "traditional" lobster dinners. (Typically consist of steamers, lobster, a baked potato and some corn on the cob if you're lucky). My husband found Turner's while doing a search for a place that would come close to giving me what I was looking for, and they delivered! We started off with the steamers. They're to die for... so tender, no sand in the bellies, and the broth? OOH the broth. It's delectable. It adds flavor that complements the clams perfectly (doesn't overwhelm them at all). My hard shell lobster was incredibly delicious. I'm usually a soft shell gal, but I will take whatever is offered - as long as the meat isn't tough, I'm fine to do the extra work. (It's part of the fun). The tail was split, which is helpful for people who don't know their way around a lobster- for me, I'd prefer it whole, so that's the only (extremely small!) thing I'd change next time. My baked potato and carrots were tasty and the waitress was attentive, kind, and she also had a sense of humor. My husband and I had an awesome evening, and we will be back!

This is one of the most famous places in downtown Melrose. It's always packed, as it's the only…read more"white tablecloth" restaurant nearby. The food however is just OK. It's your basic Italian seafood place. There is a singular type of clientele inside, which tells you how your experience will go. We got tuna "tacos" (more like crudo) as appetizers. This was the best part of the night. The tuna was delicious. For our mains, I got the New England Bouillabaisse and my friend got a fish dish. The food was on the salty side, it's great to have this down the road instead of having to go down to north end. We ended the night with the flourless cake. Our server was very friendly! But the food was just ok. Drive a little farther and get some Mexico Lindo instead.

Loved my new Revere Beach dining experience. I've been coming to the beach since I was in a…read morestroller. Dryft was an upscale experience from the usual stands and restaurants that historically been part of the Revere Beach dining experience since mid-century and further back. Dryft is easy to get to from the beach side and the subway. We ate on the outdoor deck. The restaurant is above street level for an ocean view. What a great way to enjoy a summer afternoon. Our service was great, professional not overly friendly. I liked the atmosphere, casual but a bit upscale for Revere Beach. The food was delicious. I tried the clam chowder, and ordered the mushroom gnocchi. Which both delicious. They have a full bar and they offer high tops, regular chairs and indoor & outdoor seating. The menu has a Lunch price until 3 and a dinner price. I'll be back.

Came here to meet a friend, and wanted a table overlooking the ocean. There are about a dozen…read moretables outside, and 3 were taken but the majority were open. I came in at about 8:45 when they close at 10, and I was told they could not seat me outside because the kitchen was closing. I said if I order oysters or something that doesn't require the grill, can I be seated outside? They said they would ask the kitchen. The host came back and said sure, that would be fine. Then brought me through the dining room to a table. I asked again if I could be seated outside because I am eating, she said no, even though there were about 8 or 9 tables available outside. So I asked to be seated at the table by the window closest to the ocean, which you couldn't see out of based on the reflections of the lights. I likely would have chosen another place if I knew it would be so difficult to get a table outside even when they are available. So I ordered a dozen oysters, half blondes from Blue Hill Bay Maine, half were from Little Pilgrim, Mass.; they were delicious and fresh. I looked them up afterwards and I'm not sure they gave me the right names, but they do look close and at least they had a relative idea of where they were from. I also ordered the shrimp ceviche with plantains, it was good with a decent amount of shrimp but I felt like there could be more, and the plantain chips took up the majority of the dish to make it look bigger. It's a great idea & taste, but could be executed much better. I tried their Dragon's Kiss for a drink which I liked. I forgot our servers name, she was nice but I did feel like she had wanted me to order more for a bigger tip. Tip: give great service and you don't have to upsell to get a bigger tip. It was $120 for 2 drinks, a dozen oysters, and a shrimp ceviche appetizer. dragons kiss 8.5/10 oysters: blue hill bay blonde, me (?) 10/10 little pilgrim, ma (?) 9/10 shrimp ceviche 7/10 Overall it's a beautiful new-ish (3 years) restaurant overlooking Revere Beach, if you can convince them to give you a table outside. Food is good, not great but I'd need to try them again to give a better opinion. Service is just okay, I didn't like the bait and switch of the tables, or that I just came for a few oysters and a couple drinks and it was $120. ambiance: 4/5 food: 4/5 drinks: 4/5 service: 2.5/5 Dryft: 2.6/5 *docked a point for the table situation. there was no reason why we couldn't have a table outside, especially when I told them I would order raw options to make it easier for the kitchen. there were other people outside.

Tl;dr good service, flavor, and quality at a reasonable price…read more Came here for dinner for 3 on a Tuesday night. No wait when we got there but surprisingly pretty busy with multiple large parties. Sits in a large strip mall so there's plenty of parking and is easy to get to. Was our first time here and Sarah was very patient explaining everything to us and was great in general. We ordered the 3lb combo seafood combo which comes with two sides. Seafood orders can be ordered by 1/2 pounds which let us choose everything we wanted to try: head on shrimp, head off shrimp, calamari, scallops, and snow crab which was all super fresh. In general. we got the capt loui sauce at medium spicy. taste was great but A LOT of butter. Medium spice didn't have much of a kick. But even the two sides were great. Fries were super crispy. Try dipping both of them in the capt loui sauce! The 3lbs combo was just enough food for the three of us. Overall, had a great dinner. would definitely come back again!

If you're craving seafood, this is a great place to visit. Even if you live a little farther away,…read morethe drive is definitely worth it. We arrived around 6:30 PM and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Our waiter mentioned that wait times are typically longer during the summer months. The good news is that there are several shops nearby, so you can easily spend the time browsing while you wait. The service was excellent--our waiter was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. While the food is a bit pricey, the quality and flavor make it well worth it. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back again.

Full disclosure - My girlfriend went out for brunch with her brothers - She grabbed takeout for…read moredinner of which I was a luck recipient. First off, she said she loved the place other than it's one of those places that have the tables in pretty tight together - but food and service wise -she said everything went excellent. She had the Chicken and Waffles, her older brother had a Belgian Waffle and her younger brother had some sort of open faced sandwich with excellent home fries. For my dinner, which we reheated in the air frier, was Excellent. They had made a killer burger with some excellent shoe-string fries that reheated very well. The burger (from the dinner menu) was excellent and I didn't even know it had Swiss on it at the time, because it tasted so damn good. The real prize were those wings. I would drive to Lynn from Merrimack Valley for these wings. Nice blend of sweet and hot. Great experience without having to make the trip personally!!!

We booked this place because it was on a list of restaurants that was good for celiacs and we have…read morea celiac in our party. She even called ahead to make sure they cook gluten and non gluten separately. We show up and the server had a hard time taking our orders from the start. The server seemed new and maybe had some language barriers, as she didn't seem to be understanding any of us. My husband ordered an old fashion, she didn't seem to understand and he had to repeat himself multiple times slowly. She finally got it after a few times. I asked for a drink off the mocktail menu, but I get a drink loaded with vodka and it is not the drink I ordered. I ask the server about it, she said it was the drink she wrote down. The color wasn't even the same color of the correct drink. I told her I ordered a mocktail, she said they have 2 drinks with the same name. and I got the one with alcohol. There was only one drink with that name on the menu and it is under the zero proof section. It was not even the right flavor of the drink, with or without alcohol. We order oysters off the happy hour menu. She brings double the amount we ordered. And said it wasn't on the happy hour menu. We show her the happy hour menu and it is right there. Lastly, she was very confused about the celiac requirement. My friend has very serious issues with it and every restaurant we eat at with her has to have separate prep kitchens. She didn't seem to get that my friend could not have pita with the hummus. Maybe she didn't know what gluten-free or celiac was? But after some explanation and asking for veggies instead of pita, she offered cucumber. Then my friend ordered the chicken and asked for the celiac prep, the server just kind of dismissed it. When it came, the chicken had a crunchy crust on it, and we were just not sure if the server understood again, so my friend just didn't eat it out of caution. We were bummed as it seemed like a good place but the service just kind of ruined the meal. If this lady was new, we would recommend she shadow someone for a while so she can learn.
