I really hate to give such a bad review, but this is the first time I have visited this establishment in many years. I did not order the roast beef (which was probably my error), but I recall them having very good tuna sandwiches. We used to order quite often from them before I started bringing a bagged lunch to work. I ordered 3 tuna sandwiches (served on a hamburger roll), 1 small fry, 1 large fry, 2 waters and a medium soda. The total cost was $40!!! Ok - I know businesses are struggling, that is fine...HOWEVER...I took one bite of the sandwich and nearly dropped. It was as if someone accidentally spilled an entire jar of salt into the batch of tuna fish. It was utterly disgusting. They were completely inedible! My daughter and I threw them right in the trash and didn't even attempt to give my granddaughter a chance to take a bite. I will never go here again, but in speaking with some of my co-workers that live in Wilmington, they indicated that the quality of food has gone way down and that the cleanliness is questionable. I do apologize to whoever is trying to keep this business alive, but you have dropped the ball. And one last thing, that I found odd, you will be asked at the order window if you are paying cash or charge, so I assume charging will cost you a fee...hence the $40 bill! read more

So we came there tonight and not only did they overcharge us on the food, but they didn't give us the receipt. We got 3 #4 specials which is $4.25 and an order of fries for roughly $3 I asked for a small cup of ice and if they charged us for that, that's ridiculous. The total was $24.25 does that even make sense???? The burgers were totally mediocre. I felt like I was eating something from McDonalds. Look at the burger, the paper is covered in grease and the paper was melted to the cheese. Not to mention who the hell puts the burger patty on top of all the ingredients? The only thing that was remotely good was the fries. The fruit punch tasted watered down. I've had Simards before and they are usually ok, but this is just absolutely unacceptable. The fact that they robbed us and tried to hide the evidence is why they're getting 1 star. I wish I could give them no stars and have that employee reported to their managers. I'll remember the girls face who was behind this. She had black hair and was working the midnight shift on 4/24/14 into 4/25/14 the manager should be notified ASAP I want my money back and one less employee with a job. read more

Simard's Super Roast Beef - Quality control? Don't think so - Salad Near Me - Wilmington, Massachusetts

See all

I second Gina R.'s comment -- I grew up in REVERE, the home of Kelly's, and I'll tell you what -- Simard's is running circles around them in terms of Roast Beef. I don't get out to Wilmington that much anymore, but when I do, man... my mouth is watering for that beef, even if the restaurant looks like it will fall over if a strong gust of wind were to blow ^o^ read more

This gets four stars because it is the only place open late in Wilmington besides the 24 hour Dunkin Donuts. I don't always want a bagel late at night. So, fortunately, I can go here and get a nice greasy box of something. They lose a star because they really charge too much. read more

I can't agree that Simards is better than Harrison's, because that simply is not true but I agree that it is a close second. :) Simards is delicious and convenient. The great thing about Simards is they are open LATE (2 or 3am) and they have a drive thru that accepts major credit cards or debit cards. They have a wide variety of foods, from roast beef and mozzarella sticks, to seasoned fries, fish tacos and hot dogs. Anything you could be craving they will most likely have. The only downfall is the drive thru gets crowded, quickly. You can wait upwards of 20+ minutes in that line, but if you're hungry enough the wait is well worth it. read more

Gold mine! This place is so delicious especially after a long night of drinking. You will sit in a long line of 10 cars anytime after 11pm but it is so worth the wait. Mozzarella sticks, waffle fries, chicken sandwich, roast beef EVERYTHING is wonderful. Service is great too read more

Okay, seriously Simards, what the heck? You've been hit-or-miss for years, but I got a roast beef sandwich on 9/14/11, and it was just AWFUL. The bread was stale, the beef was cold and lousy, and to top it all, there wasn't even any sauce on it. NONE. I've had lousy sandwiches from you one too many times. I'm all done with you Simards... from now on, I'll either get my roast beef from Greg's on 62 in Wilmington, or Royal House in Methuen. read more

Hands down best Chicken Kabob Salad I have ever had, its my go to place. The chicken is always cooked to order, so it's hot and fresh. It is also moist and has a tasty seasoning. A lot of other places I've experienced serve dry and charred. The greek dressing has just the right amount of creaminess and tang. The feta is so creamy, with just the right amount of salt. It's one of my favorite parts of the salad. I've tried a few places in and around the area, but none of the salads can compare to Simard's. I gave it a 4, only because I haven't tried anything else on the menu. read more

Open late. Burgers cold. Fries were so soggy more like mashed potato. Onion rings were good. I only go here because they are open late. Window employee not friendly but still has a tip jar out. No tip for you till you smile and not slam the window in my face after taking my cash. Two stars because onion rings are good and open late. Otherwise its a one star place read more

Quick drive through and good pricing. Kings beef are great as well as fries. Highly recommend!

Good roast beef when you want something fast. Always so slow at the drive thru, very long lines especially at night. The workers are rude and often mess up your order. I once ordered a junior beef with mayo and somehow ended up with sweet and sour sauce? Not sure how you can confuse the two of those. Other than order mess ups the place is my go to when I need something fast but don't want a greasy fast food burger. read more

So apparently I'm the only person on the planet who has been here during the day, but that's because I don't live in the area. Went here for lunch and will definitely be back. The fries are GREAT and the sandwich wasn't bad, either. I definitely recommend getting the nacho cheese (ask for extra) instead of American. read more

Super convenient and quick.. Jr. Beef with mayo is the go to, along with their mozzarella sticks and onion rings. They never have Syrian bread for their salads which is annoying and I wish they still had ice cream shakes on their menu! Try the seasoned waffle fries! read more

I used to love the roast beef from here but lately it has not been as good, hopefully they will overhaul the menu and add quality ingredients soon. At least better buns. read more

Second time in two weeks I stopped for a salad and was disappointed because they didn't have any pita bread. They charge $6 for the salad without the pita! It was on a Monday and a Tuesday. Too early in the week to run out of the pita bread! read more

I was a big fan but recently the quality had dropped. The super beef is not so super. I went to another place and wow the super beef was huge and near quality was awsome this is my new place for a sub shop. Until simard's get back to what they did right. Mikes in billerica is my new spot read more

Won't be back after walking in to use the bathroom and then order food. Guy behind the counter in the cook station with full arm tattoos and eating in the back with his back towards the customers. There is no way that should be how you are representing your business. Cover your tattoos and don't eat in customer view, and make an effort to wash your hands after stuffing your mouth. Plus he wasn't wearing a hat which goes against code in Wilmington. They are usually pretty good hear but there is no way I was going to let someone with such poor sanitation skills make my sandwich, not to mention he was wearing a T-shirt and looked like he just rolled out of bed. One customer lost means many more. The owner I hope starts taking staff presentation seriously, as well as guest perception so he can increase his previous year sales rather than lower them. These are the basics man and with your hands off approach well, these are the things that will continue to happen. read more

Forget Kelly's! This place knows BeeF! Greek owned. They have the huge King Beef, the best Chicken Kabobs, Steak Tip Salads,hard shell tacos, chicken O's and Season Fries with hot melted nacho cheese! mmmmmm. All fried foods are cooked in trans fat free oil...chicken and beef are always fresh! Plus they pump the drive thru late night! Thank God, they're open Sunday -Wed till 1:30AM Thurs till 2AM and Fri & Sat till 3AM. I aint gonna lie, growing up in the Northshore we all have seen our fair share of Roast Beef Places and alot of them are really old and not that clean. Simards is newly renovated inside and out. Its the cleanest Beef place ever. The prices are fair and the serving sizes are huge. Its just soo damn good! read more

Simards is one of the few places that stays open past 11pm at night in the city of Wilmington so it comes in very handy. Their roast beef is always very juicy with a nice tangy sauce but the real surprise at Simards for me was their steak tip salad. Wonderfully prepared and plentiful steak tips upon a pretty decent salad. They have always been able to prepare food very quickly for me and their drive through can be a blessing on those bitter cold nights. Simards has become a defacto late night place when I am in need of quick good food read more

Good food, open late! Its not super fancy but for roast beef sandwhiches and fries, this place hits the spot!

Five star late night food.. Get an order of potato skins.. Cheese and bacon!!! A nice treat

After moving almost 100 miles away . i miss this place. i grew up in Wilmington and we would have them deliver all the time. good prices amazing food my fav supper beef extra cheez extra suace. spicy fries and a coke. THIS PLACE I MISS ... read more

This is the best place for roast beef sandwiches! Their bbq sauce is like none other. All of the food here is great.. roast beef, tacos, pizza rolls, fries (try dipping them in the bbq sauce), seasoned fries with cheese, chicken fingers etc. It's all good! read more

Nothing special. Gone downhill the past few years, maybe resting on laurels, local fame. -1 star for highest prices of nearby pizza/subshops. -1 star for frozen hamburgers (somehow ending up warmer than the Jr beefs) and soggy fries which is price paid for visiting off hours (when the sun is shining before they hire a police detail ... speaking of which, +1 for police presence). +1 star for decent big size potato skins app, they have changed my life ... For the worse. -1 star for cholesterol content. -1 for congealed nacho dip at extra cost. -1 star for having dine-in area; they are not winning new customers with those giant windows exposing '70s style trash-camouflaging floors/furniture. i feel like a homeless person when I eat inside, and I feel like that's saying a lot considering the 5-figure amt of calories sitting in front of my face. -1 star for not severing alcohol to cope w/ loss of self respect. +1 for pity and entertainment value of late nite drive thru line. Just go next door to Brothers' Roast Beef. Or the new place, Rizzo's RB&pizza: good beef, bad pizza. In fact the best pizza in the area is across the street from simards at market basket called digiornos. But I digress. Thanks for reading. .... Don't drink and drive.. read more

These crooks charged me 20 cents for lettuce on my sandwich. Since when is lettuce an add on for a sandwich. You are not an ala carte steak house. I live .5 miles from your location. You got my 20 cents today but lost me forever as a customer because you are greedy and assume I wouldn't see the sneaky little charge. I hope you think it was worth it. Used to go once a week. Nice work management !!! read more

Simard's rating is relative to what you're looking for, and at what time. As a regular place to get lunch or snack, then the food is average and likely not worth the trip unless you are in the general area. However, if it's 1am and you're leaving a party/game at someone's house then this is where you direct your DD to go. The drive-thru lane gets very crowded at times, and if the cars in front of you are full, then you can be there 20+ minutes. However the food is quick, tastes pretty good, and I've never had an order be wrong. read more

Was hooked on this place the first night moving to Wilmington. It was late and figured nothing would be open in this quiet town, but drive by and saw this place and thought roast beef sandwiches sound really good about now. The rolls, beef, pickles, and everything they put on it are so good. I wish I still lived there and could get it anytime I wanted. read more

Simards is the best place for a late night snack! Simards is our go to place for a late night 2am snack! I would suggest the chicken sandwich combo, the waffle fries with nacho cheese (ask for extra nacho cheese), the PIZZA ROLLS, and surprisingly the tuna sandwich is delicious! read more

Best steak tip dinner for a drive through fast food restaurant. It's really good.

Best chicken kabob salad around. Generous portion and excellent salad dressing. Roast beef is also very good

best roast beef place in mass by far. service is amazing, prices are amazing and food is superb!! oh did a mention a drive thru roast beef place??!!! unheard of. except at simard's!!! read more

This place has a drive-thru that is open ridiculously late so once in a while after drinking I come here to satisfy my greasy fast-food cravings. ONLY after drinking because I cant tolerate the amount of grease & the huge portions of food 100% sober. Anything that you are craving, they probably have on the menu. The people at the window always seem really happy to be doing their jobs. They have a high tolerance for drunk people which is always a good thing. It does get pretty crowded late at night but if you want some bomb waffle fries with a side of nacho cheese, the wait is so worth it. read more

Its sort of hit or miss, here- but it is never bad. Its your typical late night -drive-thru roast beef place. I cant drive by my home town favorite without stopping in for a super beef with mayo and cheese. I'm sad they don't make chocolate shakes anymore. I think its been that way for years now, but that was always a winning combo when I was a kid. Their fries are always perfect. Always. read more

Great roast beef, only thing is the food here is way too expensive for what you get

Took 20 mins to get my food and didnt end up getting alll of it or a recepit..wasnt greeted either. 1 star only for the waffle fries

Very good for a fast-food type place. I seriously doubt the quality of the food, but it tastes good, is pretty cheap and open very late at night. A good place for night owls. read more

Been going here since i could drive. A late night staple. Food is always good cant get much better than the King Beef sauce and cheese.

2 small season fries, 2 undercooked steak & cheese rolls and a mountain dew that was mostly syrup for over $20.....ridiculous. The place looks filthy and the staff make you feel like you're an inconvenience more often than not. I've had the roast beef... it's ok but not good enough to make me go back. read more
