Okay so for whatever reason I've been craving a roast beef with cheese and sauce for the past week and I just got theirs with a pizza roll and oh my gosh, it was absolutely amazing!! The roast beef was so so good. The cheese and sauce combo with their thin slices of roast beef was chef's kiss. It was also the perfect portion size for me. They do have a larger size on an onion roll if you want that as well. The pizza roll was oh so perfect. Not too chewy, yet filled with melted cheese and it's cooked to the perfect crisp. Cant wait to come back for more! read more

Billy's Famous Roast Beef & Seafood - Roast beef with cheese and sauce - Sandwiches Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

As a visitor to this area I saw Roast Beef all over the place. My friend took me here for a sandwich to eat at the airport. I got a large from the choice of sizes. And it same with lots of roast beef. After I read about this local culinary treat I realized I should have been brave and gotten the barbeque sauce, mayonaise and cheese. Without it was delicious, but would have been better. They do a brisque business. read more

Which place is just all right. Over the past year or so they are literally pricing themselves out of the Common Market. For instance today ( August 29th 2025 ) I ordered simply a french fry and an onion ring that's it. Those two sides cost me $14 and change. Absolutely ridiculous to charge $14 for soggy french fries and mediocre onion rings. read more

Everything I have ever got from Billy's from the Jr 3 way to the Fried Seafood Platter has been Absolutely delicious . Prices are fair service is great read more

Paid almost $9 for broccoli bits... the portion size was microscopic. Three tiny 'bits' about the size of a quarter. About 75 cents worth of food. read more

I go here often. Food is usually fresh and delicious menu is very big. It has something for everybody the piggy eater and the adventure eater a little on the price your side but not too bad. Staff is usually friendly. Enough restaurant is super cute inside giving old-fashioned diner vibes in the best way. read more

A great family owned restaurant with the best roast beef sandwiches in New England! Service is great and personable. I've been a repeat customer for years. read more

Went today and got combo .. clams and scallops. Half of the scallops looked like they sat around for a while after being cooked then they added a few more and cooked em all. So the double cooked ones were brown inside .. 4 ppl and got four little packs of ketchup. Asked the woman at the counter for ketchup and she handed me 4 more tiny packs ... and said rudely,"there are some on your tray!" Do the math 2 little packs a person. Pleaaassssee!! Post Covid and no more pour your own into white cups. Ridiculous !! Covid is over!! Or is it cheaper to hand ppl two packs each like McDonalds!! Got a a roast beef sandwich and when I unwrapped it the roll was so squished it look like someone sat on it. Literally!! read more

Good sandwiches but i have to question the sanitation. The employees who prepare the food don't use gloves. Disgusting!!

Sadly I've never gotten the taste for roast beef. So all I can say is my husband loves that this place is so close to where we live now and he really likes their roast beef sandwiches. Generous portions. They have skinny fries and onion rings and each sandwich or meal I've tried comes with heaps and heaps of each or a mix of both, depending on what you order. I've had their cheeseburger plate, tuna sandwich plate and hot dog plates; they've all been pretty decent, filling. They can get busy but it's easy to mitigate by calling your order in ahead before you arrive. read more

If there's one thing I know about New England, is that some of the best places to eat are some of the most unassuming. Billy's reviews made them stand out and I was drawn to them like a mosquito to the blue zapper light. My first meal in Boston, I was looking for fried clams. Billy's delivered. Got a clam "set" which is effectively a meal or combo (Read: comes with fries) and a cup of chowder. This is the kind of meal where afterwards you want to nap it out. It was exactly what I wanted. Salty, chewy, clammy, hearty, fried, yum. I slept well that night. read more

Billy's Famous Roast Beef & Seafood - Fried clam strip roll. DELICIOUS. - Sandwiches Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Among the best Narrth Shore Roast Beef joints, the sauce is great and the onion roll is to die for. The fried clams and scallops are fine, but nothing to go nuts over, hence the 4. But seriously get the roast beef and fries! read more

This restaurant calls out to the kitchen the orders and was certainly busy on a Bruins Saturday night. I didn't wait too long for my food - did take out. I think the jr beef was fair, nothing different than Kelly's or Mikes. Charged for pickles. The lady who took my order looked at me and spoke to me like I was an idiot for ordering something off what I saw on their online menu that apparently they don't have anymore. I'd recommend they update that. Prices were higher than expected. I would like to comeback and try a seafood plate for dine in They have a parking lot read more

As good as Woodman's of Essex! We had the combo platter, shrimp platter and Clam Chowder. Everything was delicious! We used to live locally and would come here frequently. Now we live in Wyoming but come to New England every so often. Every New England trip we must come to Billy's!! If you love fried seafood, you won't be disappointed!!! Enjoy!!! read more

Consistently good food. Clam chowder is always good. The shoestring fries are my favorite. Beef always good.

Billy's Famous Roast beef lived up to it's name. As soon as you walk in, you can tell by the crowd and the smell of good roast beef that you are in the right place. I had the lobster roll. I kicked myself fir not getting the roast beef. The lobster roll had lots of huge chucks of real lobster including the tail split lengthwise, it had just enough mayo without overpowering the meat. I just couldnt stop staring at the huge roast beef sandwiches that were coming out hot and fresh. We also had the haddock which was fresh and lightly battered but needed salt. I will definitly be back. I think you know what I will order. We had good service from the staff and overs an excellent time. read more

The food here was Great! Serving sizes were large we could not finish everything. We stumbled across this place and thought why not. It did not disappoint read more

As someone who lived in Beverly for several years, I think I am a good judge of North Shore style roast beef. While I still have yet to find a place that matches Nick's Famous Roast Beef (in Beverly), Billy's is without a doubt the best roast beef restaurant south of I-95. The onion rings are also very good. read more

Great roast beef and fried clams. Would definitely recommend. Looking forward to returning.

UMMMM YUM Thank you Billy's for giving me a lobster roll done right. FRESH chunks of lobster with just the right amount of mayo. This was my first time here and it lived up to the hype. My boyfriend grew up eating here and raves about the roast beef sandwich 3 way. Bravo! read more

Went in for a quick bite, have been coming back here for quite a few years now and have never been disappointed, tonight wife and I both got clam rolls, delicious and just enough, would definitely recommend. read more

Good roast beef. They have a GF bun and it's one of the better ones I've had. Regular fries are a little above average and curly fries are very good. Never eaten in, only gotten takeout. read more

The North Shore is famous for roast beef - every single place around (Billy's included) reminds you of this in its nomenclature. Most of the roast beef restaurants around are decent but IMO Billy's is the top dog. Typically I get the Superbeef with everything on it but the seafood is also pretty good (including the lobster rolls when in season). My daughter typically eats the chicken fingers here which are pretty good and we split the Mac n cheese balls that are an addictive snack for our car ride home when we get takeout. Highly recommended for your next roast beef craving or if you are a RB virgin. read more

Best roast beef sandwich in 50 states!!!! No trip to Massachusetts without this stop.

Billys roast beef is amazing They been there for years When you ask them for rare they go out of their way to give you rare unlike many roast beef places Quick service Always clean Plenty of parking read more

I'm sorry but I used to love Billy's. The most recent beef I had was flat out bad. I got a super and it was the size of a junior at other places I've been to. The beef itself was overcooked and thick. And the onion roll was much lower quality than it used to be. Disappointing. read more

Best roast beef sandwich in the area! Try them, you will not be disappointed! Fried clam strips were also good.

Stopped here after a night at the park... Have known about this place for years just never stopped in, but was with a GF who is here all the time. Food was good, got a Roast Beef Sandwich, kids got Ice Cream & other stuff... Fries were great, Broccoli Poppers were DELISH... Prices were cheap, sat outside & had a decent time. Would def stop back in when in the area. read more

Lobster roll was good, $36, the roast beef sandwich was fully loaded with meat, but was nothing extraordinary otherwise. I'll stick with the lobster roll. read more

Best roast beef sub in the area! The price is right, the roll is toasted perfectly, and you can get 2 meals out of it! You can tell they put a lot of care into preparing their food, and they take pride in their establishment! It's a win win! read more

Billy's Famous Roast Beef & Seafood - Lobster with fries is good! - Sandwiches Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

The roast beef was gray and dark well done. You get charged for adding toppings such as lettuce , tomato ... etc. each side is $0.65 which adds up quickly, you would think a super beef would come with all of these. Over all the roast beef didn't live up to the expectations. read more

Great food! I like their fish fillet sandwiches. Mm their roast beef sandwiches are delicious!

The most amazing thing about Billy's is that there's absolutely nothing amazing about it. Perhaps the rating I'm giving is unfairly due to all the hype, ranting, and raving people have given it. The fries, rings, and chicken are standard food service. The beef is fairly fresh and well stacked on the absolutely unoriginal grilled buns. I can think of half a dozen places that have literally the same taste and feel. If you're in the area and want a "not terrible" meal. This is as good a place as any to stop. read more

Billy's Famous Roast Beef & Seafood - Where the magic happens. - Sandwiches Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Well I've been coming here for about twenty years so it's time I wrote a review. I now live out of state and only visit the area once a year, and make it a point to drive the 40-miles round trip because no other roast beef sandwich compares. I'd drive for this sandwich it if it were 80 miles. The roast beef is just the best ever...I don't know what else to say. Cooked perfectly medium rare and you get plenty of beef. My dad recently had the haddock fish plate and it was a really good amount of fish for the price. They have a large parking lot and I've never had a problem with parking. The booths inside were remodeled over the last few years. It's always clean and the service is efficient. Seriously I cant recommend this place enough. I'm so sad I have to wait until my next yearly visit to eat here again! read more
