My family has been coming to Nick's for decades. It's always a stop before a snow at the NorthShore Music Theatre and always a stop if we're anywhere near Beverly otherwise. The food is amazing, the service is quick and friendly. There's nothing more you could want from your New England roast beef shop! read more

Nick's Famous Roast Beef - A framed sign explaining why Nick's roast beef is considered better, displayed on a beige wall inside the restaurant. - Sandwiches Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

My friend and I drove over from Boston to check out this spot. I get why it's hyped up for sure. You totally feel like you're transported back in time, especially with all the memorabilia hanging on the walls. It's a very casual spot. You order at the counter and grab a table... don't expect the seats to be overly confortable. As for the roast beef, that's the star of the show. I think I prefer a bit more of a salty, juicy flavor to the meat, but it was still rare, just how I like it. The onion buns were a nice touch. Speaking of onion, don't forget the onion rings - those things were perfect. I'd recommend! read more

I absolutely recommend this restaurant! The sandwiches are so filling, the plate sizes are enough to feed two, and the food itself is delicious! Don't skip the bbq sauce for the sandwich. The service was quick, and there was plenty of room to dine in. I wish I had one of these at home. They seemed to have a number of regulars stop in while we were there. Love to see that also. I wish I had time to stop in one more time while out here. read more

Sister lives up the road and we make this place a regular stop when we're in town. Love the Super Beef 3 ways. And the sister family loves the pastrami! Skip the salad, order fries instead. Service is quick and short, just the way it should be. The feel is reminiscent of a simpler time. Go there, be happy. read more

Not what it used to be. I've been a Nick's customer since it opened in '75. It's been among the best for decades. I'd rate my last visit at 2.5-3.0 stars. Beef was not bad, but not the best anymore. Quite a few other local shops making excellent beefs. Fries, while plentiful, had an odd taste: either some strange seasoning, or just old fryer oil. I ended up throwing most of them out. Onion rings were very good. Online ordering system is horrible. I arrived 10 minutes later than the pickup time they suggested, & still had to wait an additional 15 minutes. All in all, not horrible, but It's no longer my go-to for North Shore Beef. Probably won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Love this traditional roast beef place. Get the 'Supah' - Super, a large roast beef sandwich on an onion bun with your choice of sauce - mine is horseradish and bbq. The fries are good, but the roast beef is high quality. read more

The roast beef sandwich was great! The service was friendly and fast. The ambiance was adequate for a fast food place. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Everyone was so nice and the food was delicious! My wife's favorite place to come when in Beverly

Roast beef is always awesome! Now with delivery available I can have it more often. Was delivered quickly and driver found my building which is unudual. read more

We drove 250 miles especially to Nick's roast Beef to try their roast beef sandwich. And yes, it's the best roast beef sandwich I've ever had. We had the "Super Beef" on onion roll which was loaded with warm roast beef with 3 different types of sauces. BBQ, cheese sauce,...and I forgot the other. And somehow they just worked. The cashier lady was extremely nice and informative, she can tell we're not locals. I thought only wagyu can melt in your mouth but Nick's roast beef can also do it. Leave your dentures at home because chewing isn't required. The restaurant has limited seating which is really the only down side. It's dining area seems to have this 80s diner feel with a lot of yellow colors but doesn't feel dirty at all. The seats, tables, counters are all very clean which is always a plus. As good as Nick's roast beef is...I wouldn't drive 250 miles again just for the sandwich but if I'm in the area within 50 miles, I'll be sure to stop by. read more

Still crushing it after all these years! The large beef on wheat with BBQ sauce, melts in your mouth, fries are amazing too. Always a must stop when in town. The new owner's are getting it together and a couple of familiar faces still on the line. read more

There was nothing special about the dining area but the roast beef sandwich was delicious. The service was quick and everyone working was friendly. read more

WHAT A JOKE! This is the only beef shop that charges for onion (50 cents) and horseradish (25 cents) on a Jr Beef. The size and quality is Avg at best...find another option. read more

Nick's Famous Roast Beef - Over priced, small, avg quality, and deceptively priced. - Sandwiches Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

We spend about 5 months per year on the North Shore and just got in last week. I had my first roast beef sandwich of the summer today and it was delicious. Visitors always ask us to pick up a roast beef for them on our way to pick them up at Logan and I texted them today that all is good with the new owners. I'm picking a roast beef up tomorrow for a buddy of mine who is flying in to see us. It will be two days in a row for me to have one with sauce and mayo! read more

This is one of those times when your stomach is full, but your mouth just wants more! This place isn't fancy, but serves up some amazing roast beef sandwiches. I recommend the Super, 3-way and add horseradish. The staff is friendly and ready to offer up recommendations. Highly recommend! read more

Best roast beef sandwich. We drive 60+ miles to get them. Onion rings and chicken fingers are also great.

I'm not usually a Roast Beef fan, but Nick's has converted me. This has a very "family ran" business feel and it shows in the delicious recipes they use. We got the original roast beef sandwich with everything on it. I highly recommend getting it how they wanna make it. So good! Getting into the parking lot was a little tricky since we had to cut across traffic to make the left turn, so be prepared. It was worth risking our lives for :) read more

The food has been good in the past. They can't get a takeout order correct. They just charged me $47 for a complete disaster disappointment. This is the 3rd time. Must be there new way of skimming money!!! Crossed off my list forever. read more

Always the best roast beef anywhere since I can remember! Don't go any place else ;)

Always amazing. Travel far to frequent this place... for many, many years. It's the best there is, period.

I decided to try them again now that their under new ownership, but I'm still disappointed in the quality of their food. The Buns are stale tasting, the roast beef is tasteless, and the onion rings are underdone with half the coating missing on them. Nothing has changed. This is not the Nick's Famous Roast Beef that opened in the late 70's. This is so so fast food roast beef. Try Mikey's Famous Roast Beef and Pizza instead if your looking for quality and quantity. read more

Can't say enough good things about Nick's. Learned about Nick's back around 2007 when my brother who attended college in the area brought us here. Fast forward almost 10 years later and, when vacationing in the area, I knew I had to go back. I remembered it being small, but it was even smaller than I remembered (or maybe I'm just bigger), but just as good -- and maybe even better. Not being from New England or growing up eating roast beef like this, I wasn't sure how to order. The staff was so kind and patient and gave their recommended order which I went with and it did not disappoint! A roast beef with mayo, bbq sauce and cheese is now my go-to for my next visit. Everything is cooked perfectly and tastes AMAZING. We also tried their zucchini sticks, which were delicious. To put it simply, you have to come here and try it out, even if you're an outsider and don't understand what all the fuss is about hot roast beef sandwiches. It will show you the light and you'll never regret it. read more

Nick's had always been a staple in my life starting when I was a teenager going there after being out at the clubs. The food was always consistent delicious hot and the staff was always pleasant. Yesterday we were in town for my husband's 40-year high school reunion and couldn't wait to get back to Nick's. Well let me just tell you, it is not the same restaurant. The service was slow, they needed two people working the front . My fries were cold and the onion rings let me just tell you they are not the same recipe. Come to find out next has been bought out by another family. The assured me that the recipes are the same but the fries and the onion rings are not . The beef was okay but it still did not taste the same as I remember I am devastated this place is always been my go-to place every time I come back home from Virginia . Please bring back the former owners! read more

Hate to say it, but Nick's has gone downhill since pandemic. Funny but my friends don't go there either. Could be everyone having less meat, not sure. We don't crave their Sammies after our last couple of trips. The folks inside are still wonderful, welcoming. This is the local divey place that is affordable and gives a good value. BUT now it's not quite got that edge of draw that it used to have. Sorry guys. read more

friendly and great tasting food, couldn't ask for any better than Nicks. We make the drive from NH to come get our roast beef and won't go anywhere else for it. read more

Was my go to place. Unfortunately no longer. What was once a fantastic roast beef sub 3 way, is no more. The amount of beef they give you now is skimpy, the price hike and the quality of the roast beef has taken a turn for the worst. To be clear. These comments are from my multiple experiences I had there recently and I am commenting only about their roast beef. Staff is friendly and efficient. read more

I am NOT a fan of roast beef. That said, when in Rome, I had to try the north shore beef; and if you're going to try something, why not get the best. For me the 3-way is a tad much. Google it. After spying a couple of locals...the JR. is the way to go. I surmise that this is so the sandwich does not get soggy and is manageable. 1 is enough (with onion rings) but uh...(I ate 2). Horseradish sauce and onions were my add-ons. *The sauce is light IMO. **May want to ask for a side of horseradish sauce should you have an option to add more. BBQ sauce may also be a legit choice but I witnessed all sorts of combinations. There is a sign above the counter that lists the options- many combinations of add-ons available. Onion rings- as a connoisseur, A+...light batter, fresh and perfect. Great food, great service. Definitely will be back. read more

Everything! What can I say about Nick's? If you are ever in or near Beverly, Massachusetts, this MUST be on your list of places to visit for lunch (or dinner). I guarantee you will not be disappointed. The service is fast and always accurate. However, be prepared to wait in line to order, as Nick's is small, very popular, and is usually quite busy, no matter the time of day or night. I now live in Florida, but whenever I return to Massachusetts I make it a point to visit Nick's. I only wish they had a location (or 5 locations) in Florida. read more

Nick's roast beef is the best. Regardless of your hunger level, there's a sandwich for you. The horseradish sauce gives it a little zip too. The fries are simple, but hot and perfectly cooked. No bits and pieces either. We'll worth a try. read more

The food was unbelievable I got a 3 way roast beef and I can honestly say it was one of the best roast beef's in the Northshore. Service was good it was quick and the workers were nice. The only thing was it was expensive and they didn't give me as much beef as I would of liked. read more

I walked in and was greeted by the friendly staff, I already knew by my instincts that this was gonna be good..... I was right! the roast-beef was so nice, the cheese was so creamy and melted and was absolutely divine.... The sub roll was so soft and fresh, I couldn't wrap my head around how fresh it was...I loved it. fries were so good..... I would absolutely highly recommend Nick's to anyone that wants one of the best subs in the north sore. great food, great staff. I will go back again when I can. read more

The only place I must return to in memory of living here. Still the best roastbeef sandwich!

After a long day of travel to Boston my partner and I were craving the famous Nicks Roast Beef. It was our first time at this restaurant and we were beyond excited. As you walk in you are greeted by a team of smiling faces who are all happy to help you. The menu is on the wall and you walk up to the counter to order your delicious choices. After much deliberation we settled on two super Beef sandwiches that were all the way: BBQ sauce, mayonnaise and cheese, onion rings and a large fry. Damn. IT WAS JUST AS AMAZING AS I ANTICIPATED! The roast beef was juicy and delicious and perfectly complicated with all the sauces and cheese. The fries and onion rings were perfectly crisp. I will forever dream of returning to this place! Definitely make sure to check it out!! read more
