Have known about Frescos for years & Years and never stopped in. The hubby wanted seafood and it was a crappy rainy night and we didnt feel like driving too far north, so we stopped in. Portions are big (you know as always a ton of fries) but a good amount of seafood, Food was fresh. Will definitely come back to try more things! read more

Placed an order with uber eats on a Saturday around 3:30 and it was delivered within the half hour. This fried platter was about $40 and worth it. Deliciously fresh and great portions. The salad it came with was huge, it also came with a side pita. Definitely recommend for some fried seafood that's done well and doesn't taste too fishy or overly battered. read more

Consistently excellent roast beef and fries. Been going for years, they never miss! read more

It's definitely gone down in quality but up in prices unfortunately. The food is decent but they did not put enough sauce on any of our sandwiches and food was bland and the fries needed so much salt! The staff was friendly and the restaurants clean. read more

Not what it use to be do yourself a favor and go somewhere else it's not worth the price for what you are getting and by the grilled chicken sub it was the worst one I have ever had I ordered the super beef with extra beef they gave me a junior beef very disappointing like I don't know what happened to this place but go somewhere else read more

So expensive. Bought a sandwich, fries and mozzarella sticks and it came to 30 bucks. Seriously roast beef with fries cost 20 bucks?? First and last time going there. read more

This place is my standby for quality sandwich, subs and salads. The staff is always so nice, it's so fast and the food is so fresh. The chicken is honestly always cooked to perfection. I don't know how they do it. Chicken kabob salad and subs are my favorite. I want to venture to try some of their pasta and plates. read more

I received a steak bomb from frescos it was horrible they need to teach their help how to make their sandwiches it was a steak and cheese with lettuce tomatoes and pickles on it. It was picked up on April 10th about 339. It was bad. Usually Frescos is the best. They just didn't train there worker. read more

We order all the time! Delivery is quick, they read/follow any changes to meals, food tastes great (never had a bad meal from them), and the portions are more than enough. read more

I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap through DoorDash with extra dressing along with two orders of fried Oreos. The order came and I realized that my chicken Caesar wrap had absolutely no Caesar dressing even though I asked for extra there was absolutely none on top of that after going to give dessert out to little ones that were expecting two things of fried Oreos there was only one and not enough to go around. I tried to reach out to DoorDash. They said there's nothing they can do. so buyer Beware when you're doing DoorDash for Francesco's roast beef and seafood you will not get the right stuff. And DoorDash does not help with this due to restaurant policies, so don't waste the money. read more

Solid meatball and buffalo chicken wings, location is great if you find yourself at a freezing Malden Catholic Football game

Fresco's never disappoints. The portions are large, the food is cooked just right and is very flavorful. Tonight we had the whole belly clam dinner and the fried sea scallop dinner. We picked it up and ate at home. A great start to a NYE celebration. read more

Fried seafood was great. Decent portions. Ordered as take out so a little limp but can't avoid that. Would definitely order from them again

This place is good only if you can't make it out of the city for a good beef. They were better when they first opened.

**DRIEST BEEF IN THE NORTH SHORE** This is sad to say but this place has a good roast beef BUT they only put a tablespoon of bbq sauce on it. Like cmon you charge $14+ for a roast beef can you put an accurate amount of bbq sauce on it? Do you not have thumbs to squeeze the bottle ? It's pitiful. read more

Edit 6/19/2024 When I just open my scallop plate I could've cried. $33 and some change for a few scallops, cold fries and limp greasy onion rings. Never ordering from there again. Usually it's good but last night was a hot mess. The fish n my fish n chip was mush. N the salad that I been wanting all week - the veg on the top was starting to rot If you're going to order get the fisherman's platter. Every time I've ordered that it's always been great. Definitely won't vouch for anything else though. read more

Just to get an order in is almost impossible with the Young lady on her private phone. Its almost as if you have to beg to for them to take your order . Maybe if I call the order in in advance ... But you still need to pick it up and deal with the private conversations at the front desk . read more

The menu, wow wow wow. Where do I start?! They offered everything under the sun. My favorite is their steak tip Caesar salad with their signature creamy Greek dressing made in house. It's the perfect dressing, light, creamy and tangy. I also love their steak and cheese sub. Quality steak. read more

I absolutely love the service here as well as the food, the woman on the phone answered fast and was so nice, as well as the man at the counter taking orders. The chicken ziti broccoli is super good, and on top of that, I didn't even realize that pasta is half off on Mondays! I'm not sure how long this applies but it was a nice surprise on Labor Day. read more

Great food. Great service. Nothing more you could ask for. Roast beef sandwich was the highlight of my meal. Would still recommend the calamari, fried clams, lobster roll, and meatball sub. read more

moldy bun for our super beef. absolutely gross and so disappointing after a long day of traveling. We were surprised when the manager of this establishment called to apologize for our food. She was extremely apologetic and made it right for us. It does not fixed the issue but to us it was the right thing to do. We respect management's response to the situation. read more

Bright and cheerful takeout spot, with comfortable dining area . The fish and chips came with flavorful coleslaw (just the right amount of tang and creamy) and onion rings and was crispy, flaky, and fresh. Kids enjoyed their Mac and cheese bites and pasta with marinara sauce. read more

My first trip to Frescos of Malden was NOT disappointing! I cannot say enough great things about the service, food quality and quantity..all beyond expectations. We had the chowder and a fisherman's platter...chowder was creamy and loaded with fresh clam meat and potatoes. The seafood was so fresh and done to perfection. Best fries and onion rings in the area too! If you haven't been to this restaurant, you're missing out! I rate it one of the very best around and I didnt have to go to the coast to enjoy the food! ​ read more

Online order for pickup! Fish sandwich - easy order, easy parking, told them my name they found it quick, in and out. Time for the experience: The place: my drivers seat The time: Dark Unwrapping: looks like a commercial First bite... it's fresh! My jaw clicked at how big I opened my mouth to get everything. Next time I'll ask for extra tartare on the side and extra fish if that can be done. There's 2 big pieces, but I like an absurd abundance of fish. read more

Fresco's Roast Beef & Seafood - Haddock Sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

one of my favorite lunch spots in Malden, the food is better than most when you think of quick service. Their fried clams are excellent as well as their pasta dishes. I've eaten plenty of their salads as well, big fresh and delicious my favorite is the Chicken Kabob on the Greek salad. The owner is lovely woman, working there most days and ensuring they are putting out a consistently good product. I'm a big fan thank you Voula and to your staff. read more

Loved my Greek salad and you know what was special ? They use RED PEPPERS! Game changer! I don't know why stores only give green peppers when red tastes so much better. Anyway check this place out everything looks fresh! read more

This place looks like a local favorite, I got a 6oz roast beef sandwich the guy at counter said that they offer three sizes, the 6oz is a medium sandwich, you can customize your sandwich with a variety of toppings, it just got mine pretty much plain with some bar b q sauce, grabbed a bag of chips and a ice tea. The sandwich was great the roast beef was tender and flavorful, after I was done with my sandwich I wish I had gone with a large. I guess I'll have to wait until next time. read more

My father from out of town loved it. As well as my bf. The portions were huge !! I'm still dreaming of the curly fries and fried mushrooms .

FIRST TIME LAST TIME The Fried Clam plate was disgusting. Big fat mushy clams that weren't cooked thoroughly. Thick onion rings that weren't cooked long enough. All this for $24 read more

Today I discovered a roast beef and seafood joint in Malden. I am new to the area so I have been trying to find some good spots to get a bite to eat. The place has really good fries and onion rings nice and crispy, good size subs! Got a small and it was enough to feed a small whale. Unfortunately, we wanted to try out the clams and they were out. We ordered a roast beef dinner, xsauce xmayo... there was barley any sauce or Mayo on there.. :( the beef was okay but nothing special.. very disappointed. From the looks of the restaurant I honestly expected more. Make sure you emphasize on the EXTRA if your ordering any type of condiments lol read more

This review is for takeout! FOOD: I ordered the Fisherman's Combo, Boneless Buffalo Tenders w/ a side of blue cheese sauce and a steak and cheese sub. The Fisherman's Combo was crispy, delicious and fulfilled my seafood dreams! The portions are HUGE (not complaining here) and the pieces of haddock, whole belly clams, scallops and shrimp were hefty and thiccc (they deserve the three c's). The homemade tarter sauce and coleslaw pulled the entire plate together. The Boneless Buffalo Tenders had generous amounts of Buffalo sauce and a huge side of blue cheese. The chicken were huge pieces as well! The steak and cheese tasted good! The amount of meat given in the sub roll was generously packed. Cant really go wrong here since it's just steak with some American cheese. TAKEOUT: Fresco's is very clean! They have placed floor markings to social distance while waiting in line, and the staff were working hard but efficiently. Overall, I would come here over Kelly's! read more

Service was excellent, polite and courteous. Place is clean. Roast beef was well done and dried out. Fried clams were rubbery and soggy. French fries were good. This place used to be decent. It's too bad, this used to comparable to Billy's. read more

I've been going to Fresco's my entire life. They have a huge menu, and although that might deter you from ordering (thinking they may not be good at all of it), I am always very satisfied with the food I order here. Their fries and tartar sauce combo is to die for. I love their fried seafood options. They're consistently great and I'm always happy to order. They will also listen to your special instructions if you have some. Didn't want their onion rings today and wanted it subbed fries, and they delivered on the substitution. Thank you Fresco's read more

No Flavor :( I tried the clam strips & lobster roll from here and for 35$ it had NO FLAVOR. I tried Kellys and it was wayyy better ... the lobster roll actually had some flavor. There was a cop in there also DINING In , with no mask and COUGHING . Like wtf dude . If you are visiting and want a good one... I recommend Kellys ... there is a reason why there is a line there read more

The bestttt lobster roll in New England. Must try!!!!! Their roast beef is also delicious! read more

We had the steak tips and a Haddock sandwich with a small bowl of Clam Chowder. Fantastic!!!! read more

This place is SO good it is frightening! The only other restaurant in the Northshore that I am as enthusiastic about is Petrillo's in Peabody! I have tried the following: steak tip platter; haddock sandwich, Mediterranean calamari; scallops, chicken Caesar salad; steak and cheese sub; roast beef; fried mushroom appetizer; lemon chicken orzo soup; and chicken fingers platter. EVERYTHING, let me repeat, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! This is place is everything you want your neighborhood pizza/sandwich/ all-in-one shop to be!!!! Staff is super kind and polite, and the food is DELICIOUS!!! Cooked to perfection, very flavorful, and fairly priced. The steak tips here ARE BETTER AND CHEAPER THAN NEWBRIDGE! Don't believe the hype about that tourist trap. Fresco's is where it's at! AMAZING, AMAZING food here! read more

The fried seafood is unparalleled. It's always so fresh and delicious and the chicken tenders are really good too. Also their Greek salad is completely loaded with delicious toppings. read more

Friendly folks, good food. The portions here are huge, so know that ahead of your order. I got a fried fish meal that was very filling and tasted good. My partner got the roast beef and enjoyed it. Nothing inventive here, just solid reliable dishes that will please. read more
