First time customer. Bring cash instead of using their Apple Pay! I am a huge fan of tiny family-owned businesses, and I've had my eye on this place for a while. I had asked for a "girl-sized" roast beast with all the burger fixin's, including cheese. It arrived with more meat than I wanted, so my dog was very happy scarfing down the extras. Should I have ordered a baby size instead? The bun wasn't quite toasty, so it turned sloppy and hard to hold. My dog, of course, offered to hold it for me. I was annoyed that it was missing both the cheese i was talked into ordering and the ketchup, which I'd always thought was mandatory on burgers! Although I was annoyed, I can improvise, so I went to the Market Basket across the street for ketchup. The worse part was trying to pay. I had called ahead to ask about Apple pay, and they had given me the thumbs up. Yay! But it turns out their machine is nowhere near the customer, so how am I supposed to use fingerprint recognition? My eyebrows flew up as the cashier took my phone away and waved it upside down over the POS device and said my card was declined. Then two more employees joined the fray, gaslighting me about my Apple pay not being set up correctly. I'm like WTF, and let loose more F bombs than were appropriate. I mean, there was a poor little new born listening to my trashy mouth, but I was super pissed off, because I have used Apple pay for years. They gave me the food gratis, and encouraged me to come back. But now I'm scared they will spit in my food. I have since learned about Apple Pay photo recognition, but it's not mandatory, and I don't want to use it. In retrospect, I think the cashier was responsible for 90 percent of the problems, and I think the couple with the tiny baby were doing the best they could. The dad prepared my order super fast, which isn't easy! read more

I have lived in Wilmington for over 20 years. This place used to be so good. They haven't had a large soda in well over a year. One of the popular items on the menu was the waffle fries with cheese sauce. They changed other waffle fries that are no where near as good as the ones they had forever and the cheese sauce is inconsistent. Last time I went there for just me it was $24. Several years ago I could by for my 3 of us and it was less than that. The only thing they have going for them is a drive through. The employees are not super friendly. I don't know if it has changed hands over the years but definitely has gone down hill. It's a shame. This place used to be so awesome. It was a gold mine. I miss it. read more

People work in their are rude and ass hole and I believe he is the owner with girl in front desk taking the orders??. When I told her my last order was very bad oily and sagi start giving me attitude when I asked her to except my comments it got worse and started missing with my order that I pay for. So I asked for my money and never go back there again fk that asshole read more

Ordered from Uber Eats, Chicken Sandwich with Mayo for Coworker and a Jr Beef with Mayo and stuff for myself. Starting that evening we both became violently ill. Called to let them know, they took our info and were supposed to have someone reach out to us. Never heard from them. Sad, I have had some tasty things here before. Although they do have a hard time getting the pizza rolls and egg rolls straight. Multiple times I have gotten egg rolls when ordering pizza rolls. read more

Excellent place to get take out, expensive you wait in line in the drive through for a while but worth it. Blows Kelly's out of the water. It's always consistent never a bad meal. read more

Came to simards to grab food after a long ass day just to here this guy screaming at his workers "if anyone else comes here tell them to f*** off" mind you it's 2:30am and they close at 3:00am. If you hate your job that much you should probably get a new one. read more

Absolutely terrible food. Burger was dry and burnt. The bacon on the burger was black. The seasoned fries were clearly dropped in the fryer several times. They forgot to give me the nacho cheese sauce and the extra one i ordered and paid for. Roast beef was over cooked, tough and chewy. Simards use to be great now it's not edible. Save your money and eat else where read more

Absolute worst meal I've ever had total garbage waited 25 minutes for ice cold french fries Got two super beef that and barely any roast beef little teeny tiny pieces look like scraps I paid $26 for two sandwiches and a medium fry which was way more than the menu said but I really wouldn't of minded so much had the food been edible It went into the garbage I will never go here again after this. Also was asked if I paying cash or debit not sure if they charge extra for that. read more

This place has to be the best for late night in the Burbs for food. If it's 2 am if you're either drunk or just want to get fatter; this is the place to be. The tiny grease pit across the street from the shopping plaza on Rte 38 hosts a variety of coronary attack meals for you. Form burgers to roast beef to chili dogs to pizza rolls, Simards will definitely help you out more than Dr. Kevorkian could. : P read more

No idea how anyone would rate this place over 2 stars. We gave it two chances and we will never ever go back even for a 1am food craving when nothing else is open. The roast beef was so over cooked there was no warm pink meat in our sandwich. The "chicken" sandwich was procssed type patty. Yuck. Maybe for a 12 year old, but come on, my dog wouldn't eat that hockey puck crap. No thank you!! read more

Food is always amazing. Only problem is no matter how many times you ask for bbq sauce, even if they say to remind them at the window, and I do. I still NEVER get bbq sauce!!!! I went through tonight 3/7 @ 10:30 the girl at the window spent about 5 minutes texting on her phone before she took my $$ then another 5 min after texting again before giving me my food and I reminded her about the bbq sauce. Got home. Shocker, NO SAUCE! read more

Simard's is like an independent Arby's. Known for their roast beef, but we found the Pastrami to be superior. Go with the onion bagel, and skip the fries. It's not great, but they stay open late. read more

The beef! I am dropping five stars on this place simply because of the beef (and late hours). Their roast beef is nice and tender and comes on a crisp and delicious onion roll if you order the big one. You should go order one right now, as a matter of fact. Also, everything tends to close pretty early in Massachusetts. Except for Simard's. They will feed you into the wee hours of the morning. read more

This is the kind of roast beef that I miss by living in the Dallas area. No one offers rare shaved beef on an onion roll. I should probably start my own restaurant one of these days. Anyways, these guys are open late, they are fast, they offer good food for a bit of a higher price....but I was willing to pay it because of all the factors involved. It was almost midnight when I stopped in. Nothing else was open except a convience store and a gas station, I wanted great roast beef. Simard's provided what was needed, when it was needed. For those in the Boston area....enjoy these style restaurants! They aren't everywhere in the US. Parking can get tight if busy. read more

I give it four stars for its category...fast food! The food, while not great for you overall...is great! They'll make your roast beef the way you want it...including well done. And if you have to be bad and get fried food...they use oil with NO trans fats. They're open late, they're fast, you can drive-thru and the prices are good too. The service is okay. So if you happen to be cruising through Wilmington on your way home from the bars...this is the place for you! read more

Great food if the right people are working half the time they'll give you a roast beef with stuff you don't want but when it's good it's the best roast beef in the area. read more

Roast beef is amazing get the tacos plain with cheese and chicken os is amazing as well BLT amazing get the French fries of the waffle variety read more

I've eaten chicken in a variety of forms, but by far the most exciting has to be the Chicken O's from Simards. Delicious. Late night drive through. Nice people. TONS of options from tacos to pizza skins to burgers. And cheap. Win. Win. Win. read more

"Ahhhhh Simmmarrddsss!!!" That's what my friends and I say when one of us mentions Simard's; It just happens. I've been coming here since I was a wee teen breaking curfew on terms with the devil's lettuce, but you don't have to be such a rebel to enjoy their satisfyingly greasy, late-night (their drive-thru is open until 1:30-3:00am, depending on the night), whatever-you-want food. Um, can we get some regular beefs, tacos, fries, and a pizza roll? Thanks! This place is not for the pretentious, more for the ravenous (and definitely for the spirituous). I've actually had Simard's a few times during daylight, and it's still just as good, if just a little too greasy for my diurnal appetite. Nonetheless, I will always love Simard's and still have yet to find a place with a better roast beef sandwich. read more

This is one of the places I've really missed since I moved to NC. A friend from high school and I debated over which was better, Simards or Harrisons Roast Beef in North Andover. I love Simards and find their food delicious. I've noticed though that they're prices have gone up. But then again I've been going to simards since I was in the single digits, so inflation was assumed. My favorite thing to order at Simards: 2 Junior Beefs with heavy sauce Order of seasoned fries with cheese 1 medium root beer I visit family in that area during the holidays. I'll be hitting up Simards at 1 am no doubt. read more

Simard's is fast food, through and through. If you're in the mood for it, they've got whatever fast food staple you're looking for - chicken sandwhiches, tacos, burgers, fries, all that. Nothing here is particularly amazing, but it's satisfying, and there's definitely nights when I've been working late and just want some grub. Their roast beef is solid. It's a little plain, but it's filling and you can have them add barbeque sauce to give it some flavor. I'd probably say their tacos are my favorite item - just greasy and crunchy and delicious. People here are super nice and super accomidating. Probably the main reason I think of this place is that I know it'll be a good fast food experience. read more

What can I say about this place? 1) If you live within a 20-30 minute drive of Wilmington, you know about this place and have been here and know it's the go to late night spot 2) If you've been here you don't really remember because of course you were drunk 3) If you've been here it was never during the light of day. 4) they are delicious (in that I need greasy food and lots of it b/c I've been drinking kind of way) 5) They are open until 2 AM! woo! The line of cars for this place reaches around and out to the road the closer to 2 AM it gets 6) If you go to Sonic instead of this place then you are crazy. And I kind of dislike you for it. read more

I went in very hungry. Simard's is highly recommended in the area. I decided to try their Pastrami. It was small. It was made on a hamburger bun. They only had yellow mustard. An onion bun would have cost a dollar more. The supermarket across the street would have been a better deal. read more

Everybody and their brother offers "the best Roast Beef around" not only in Wilmington, but in many New England towns. Simard's might not be exactly that, but it is a pretty great little fast-food shack that's got a huge menu, quick service, cheap prices, and good cuts of meat. I usually get the Regular Pastrami (the "super" doesn't give you more meat, it just gets put on an Onion Roll) and Onion Rings. It's a more-than-solid choice when you're looking for lunch around the North Reading / Wilmington area. And hey, they're even open till 2am some nights, so it might even be worth a late night, post-drinking trek (don't forget to bring a DD, of course). read more

Yumminess! I recently moved away from Simards and now live next door to Harrison's Roast Beef in North Andover. Simard's is definitely better than Harrison's. Their menu is more diverse and they actually take credit cards which is more convenient than having to carry cash. I also loved that when I got stuck at the office and was driving home at 11pm I could still stop at Simards and get actual food instead of having to go to Dunkin Donuts or stop to grab something at a convenience store. read more

I haven't been here in over 10 years but just moved back to the area. We used the drive-thru and while the cashier had a mask on, we saw the cook had his nose outside of his mask and another worker was standing in the kitchen and not wearing a mask at all. When asked about it, the cashier pretended she didn't hear our question and when she finally did, she gave some ridiculous excuse saying it's because they were "talking"...LOL Um you can TALK with your mask on. We had already paid for our food but it freaked us out so much. We ended up microwaving and putting the food in the oven when we got home just to be safe. The food was great but we will not be returning because Covid-19 cases are at an all time high and my mother is elderly and I am high-risk. I already barely survived Covid and I was a young, healthy person but I have long-term health complications from it now. This is a serious health issue and their health code violation is extremely disturbing and disappointing. WEAR A MASK! It's not that hard read more

I love the food at Simard's, their hours are what make them so popular, usually the only place open so late. I don't know if they got new management or what but years ago they used to load up their roast beef sandwiches, now it's basically a junior beef portion on any sandwich you get. For the prices they charge now they should do a much better job making the sandwiches. Attached a pic of a super beef I recently got, it took up a quarter of the bread lol. Again the food is great, portions are not.. especially with what they charge now read more

Simard's Super Roast Beef - They skimp on their roast beefs now.. - Salad Near Me - Wilmington, Massachusetts

See all

If you are out late this is the place to hit up the drive through is open late until I think 3am, which is great! This place is not the place to go if you are looking for healthy low cal foods. It is the place to go for some of the best roast beef around! My personal favorite is the supreme beef on a regular roll, which they will do for you. More beef plus you don't have to have that onion roll which is a PLUS. Things that are good here are the roast beef, chicken fingers, fries & pizza rolls. I will admit it kinda looks like a dive but the food is really tasty. read more

Great roastbeast, best around! Generous portions of beast, very yummy, rare. Other options are good to, chicken kabob is delish, waffle fries are amazingly good. Drive through is a little slow, but it's worth it. Staff is great, very friendly. read more

Simard's in my mind was never designed for daily eating...it was designed for the late night, heading back home from the festive beverage serving establishment snack break. They have a variety of reasonably (cheaply) priced options ranging from pizza rolls to french fries to Roast Beef sammies. This is not the place you go to get dinner...it's where you go when what you need is the greasy goodness. I highly recommend it for late night dining. You may regret it in the morning, but at 1:00am you will be thanking the nice drive thru man for his patience and his speedy and accurate order taking! read more

Simards has been my go to Beef joint for going on 20 years now. Nuthin Fancy just a good Roast Beef sandwich ... And the seasoned fries are exceptional!!! I love you Simards, I hope you stay in business for a bazillion years! read more

If it's Saturday night after midnight and you are looking for a quick bite, McDonald's is not the place to waste your time. Calories are best spent at Simard's. I usually opt for a medium (or large) beef and top it with lettuce, tomato, onions, horseradish sauce, and barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce has a small amount of kick to it. You simply cannot go wrong. Also, general manager Alex is an extremely nice guy. read more

Very disappointed. I ordered a soda and a cheeseburger. The soda was flat so I asked for another. When I got my order and started off I turned around and went back. The burger was RAW and the soda was warm. I gave them back to them and said they could keep them, the money and I would never come back. I am only sorry that I pre-tipped, they did not earn it. read more

Great for late night cravings. I think they have the best Roast Beef in town. I do think the prices are a little high, but usually worth it. read more

Hello. I pulled up wanting some tacos at 140am. TWICE! And both times, before 2am(the closing time), there lights were out and you were closed. The first time, some woman came out and said "its 2020 do you have a gps". Felt upset but decided to go to McDonalds becsuse they were open. read more

If you think you are getting fast food .DON'T COME HERE!!!. Sandwich was just mediocre

I have been a regular at simards for a few years even tho the service is bad and slow. But I learned when good people were working so try and go when I see those people when I drive by. I usually go towards the end of the week during the day because the tall brunette girl at the window is on point she's quick,polite,wears a mask/gloves, and has never screwed up my order, she always tells me what is in the bag and lets me check the bags before I pull away. So if you see a brunette with a mask on you will get good service! I also have learned the cook with the red beard always cooks my food perfect and is extremely fast. I obviously go for the food but I'm a bartender at night so I appreciate good service too. But I rolled the dice today with this new blonde girl who was beyond awful!!! I ordered 2 sandwiches 1 drink at the speaker, I pull up to the window 14 minutes later and she asks me what my order was and then repeats it to the cook n slams the window. She opens it so I can pay and I usually tip after I get my food, she realizes I didn't tip her and became super rude!!! To top it off my food took 18 minutes to come out, to top it off old blondie did not have a mask or gloves on, kept staring at her hair which was down with no hair net and fixing her makeup in the reflection of the window. I did not end up tipping. I drive away with the wrong food and blonde hair in my drink/food!! Everything went straight in the trash. I tried to call the girl puts me on hold then hangs up on me. Will be calling the board of health!!!Service was an unsanitary joke! read more

I have know clue when were or why they started using orange garbage cheese on there roast beef. Just got a super beef bit into and was disgusted garbage disposal ate well. All done with this place......... read more

Had a perfect roast beef here today. Thinking about it makes me want to go back for dinner. Bonus: they have a drive through which is cool. I hear the tips are excellent but with a roast beef that good i may never eat anything else. read more

I stopped in to grab a salad in the drive thru. Waited for a few minutes and nobody greeted me so I guessed the speaker was broken. I drove up to the window and a girl came over and I told her I'd like a salad. She told me I'd have to drive back around and order from the speaker... I looked in my rear view and there was nobody behind me. I explained to her that I had just waited at the speaker for a few minutes and nobody had asked me what I'd like. She said yeah I was busy... Are you kidding me? There are way too many other places around to get such lousy service! Needless to say I didn't drive around I just drove off read more
