This place was recommended and is an excellent spot for roast beef and fried seafood. We had heard about Roast Beef being a north shore staple- so we tried it out! We got the roast beef sandwich with all 3 sauces and a Libster Roll. The roast beef was super fresh and well cooked. The lobster roll was super fresh, a little too heavy on the Mayo but the lobster meat was perfectly cooked! The place seems to be a classic staple. There is nothing fancy here, you get what you see1 but it is super clean and we saw a guy run through and clean the tables even when he noticed it was getting busy. The waitress and all the staff were really great, the only unfriendly one seemed to be the owner. He was a bit rough and gruff and was a bit dismissive of questions, but we will still be back for sure! read more

Land 'N Sea Restaurant - Roast beef Sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

I'm writing this right away because I ordered from this place for the first time and I just got done eating and I have to say their food was completely disgusting! I ordered a small side of clams, which cost me $18, it was nothing but a box of crumbs! The coleslaw was horrible, plain with no taste, I had to put mayonnaise on it. And we also ordered a roast beef sandwich which was sub par. I should have listened to my teenage son when he told me they sucked. I figured he was a teenager what does he know? Boy was I wrong! Never again! read more

Land 'N Sea Restaurant - Roast beef - Seafood Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

My go-to for roast beef! Fresh seafood too! Food is always ready when I arrive. Many employees always working.

Spent $84 on a superspecial and a clam strip plate with a side of scallops--- worst seafood of all time . L and S you should be ashamed . Nothing was fresh, fries were soggy and clams were tiny 1 inch. You should be a shamed of the the food you put out. I'll never order a thing from you. read more

I grew up going to Land n Sea in Peabody 1 to 2 times a week. It used to be one of my favorite spot. I would switch between a roast beef and a fish sandwich with onion ring. It was always good and reliable. A few year ago I ordered a fish sandwich and the piece of fish was tiny. It did not even come close to fitting the bun. It barely covered the middle. After that I stopped going. With it being Lent I decided to give it another try today. Same problem. I got home, opened it up, and could not believe it. The fish look more like a fish stick than a filet. It was small and lost in a big bun. I drove back and said something. I was told they are weighed. If that is the case then the portion is the problem. Use a bigger piece of fish and charge more or put it on a smaller roll. What is being served now is not worth it. It is disappointing to see a place I used to go to all the time put out food like this. read more

fried clams are overcooked. figured that i would give them a 2nd chance. No 3rd chance for me.

I have been going to this restaurant since I was a little girl now in my 30s it reminds me of a place of nostalgic mostly because it hasn't changed one bit. However I went the other day and I spent $50 on food. Every single part of the food was terrible. My mom's roast beef was not thinly sliced like normally is. The french fries were mixed with old fries. Mind you we went right when they first opened like 20 minutes later. I can't even believe they sell processed chicken fingers that look like that absolutely disgusting. My clams we're absolutely disgusting for the amount they cost was crazy they are literally fried through crisp and had nothing on them that even taste good. I hate their tartar sauce. read more

Best beef I've ever had. Authentic food and staff! Service is quick and within 20 minutes. Everything is super tasty. I recommend the fries junior threeway beef and a coffee shake. It would be my death row last meal. Nice and clean to eat in as well!! Very chill and kid friendly. Me and my boyfriend love it here! read more

My Mom & I dined @ Land N Sea on Thursday, where she chose to celebrate her 90th birthday. We each ordered their clam rolls & shared an onion ring. Our lunches were delicious with sweet fried clams and crispy onions rings. We found their portions to be generous and worth the prices.....UNTIL Mom ordered a haddock sandwich to take home for my Dad's dinner. My Mom called me right away & told me that when they opened the sandwich there were only 2 small round 'pieces ' of haddock...no 'filets' of haddock as is given by the place they usually go. The small portion of haddock didn't even fill out to the sides of the roll, resulting in more bread than fish. Giving them the benefit of doubt I immediately called Land N Sea & explaned the situation (I thought maybe they'd been rushed when preparing the sandwich causing an oversight of putting such a small portion of haddock in it). when I explained the great disappointment in the product we had purchased, they really didn't offer a satisfactory explanation. They took my contact information and said they would have the owner/manager call me on Friday when they arrived to the store. As of this writing I have not received a response from the owner/manager or anyone else at Land N Sea so I'm left to assume that they don't care to address their loyal customers' concerns of L&S having provided a poor quality and significantly undervalued food item. For as long as Land N Sea has been in business in Peabody, throughout which time we have been loyal customers, I expected better and not to be disregarded. read more

Must've changed hands recently, got a super beef last week and it was kind of a bad example of the quality and quantity they're known for. I've had junior beefs bigger than this super, and the youngsters working inside go about their shift as if they have no interest in being the least bit pleasant. read more

Land 'N Sea Restaurant - Super beef? Puny. - Seafood Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

I can believe I actually paid the under $10 for a filling lunch with a drink! Land and Sea never lets me down in its taste and quality. Roast beef and their burgers are my go to. read more

This restaurant is disgusting. The employees don't wear gloves while handling ready-to-eat food. The food is soaked in grease and has no taste. The haddock still had the skin on it. You get a tiny piece of fish with a mound of fries was $20. So many better places to go. I want my money back! read more

Land 'N Sea Restaurant - Haddock "Dinner" - Seafood Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

I had my old standby roast beef with light sauce. The beef was super tender, rare and extremely flavorful on a fresh grilled bun. The way I remember it 40 years ago. My friend had a hot dog which was amazing on a grilled roll. He also had a super pastrami which was on the small side and should have had roast beef. Super clean and friendly service. read more

You KNOW the foods going to be good when the whole restaurant inside and out is still stuck in the 90's ! Im so happy I finally got to try this place , YUM ! We got a pastrami sandwich , fries and a clam chowdah. Everything was what I was expecting and more. Hot. Fresh. Delicious. But wait ...our favorite part was the damn pizza rolls. Yup getting more of those next time. read more

Visiting from L.A., this was the perfect spot for the real Mass food I grew up with. Warm thin-sliced roast beef on a soft deli roll with their own sauce, hand-cut and dipped onion rings that come out thin and crispy, tasty fried clams that aren't greasy. Friendly fast service by a crew headed by a gentleman who's been there since the '70s. Great stuff. read more

My brother in law suggested this place for me and my wife. We ordered 2 roast beef sandwiches, fried scallops dinner and fisherman's plate. I'm a seafood lover. The sandwiches were good. My sister liked her scallops. I shared the plater with my my brother in law. The platter was ok. But I had much better somewhere else that had more food with much better sides. Their coleslaw was just shredded cabbage with the lemon juice on top. read more

I have stopped in here a few times on my way back from Lynn to NH. Place used to be good but not anymore. I alway get the same.....RB, sauce and cheese. They skimpd on the sauce so bad it was actually on the dry side. Anyone who eats a North Shore roast beef knows it needs tons of sauce, that's what makes them good. Fries tasted like old oil and hardly had any salt on them. Good thing I grabbed some napkins cuz none were put in any of my 2 bags. The chicken wrap was messy and soggy by the time my friend finished half of it. Bad experience today, sad because it used to be an awesome roast beef place. Not as good as Kelly's or John's in Lynn though. read more

Did this restaurant change hands. The quality of the seafood was suspect. I had a piece of flounder that was thinner than tissue paper... The batter used to be so light but that is not the case now. I think the seafood that was on the plate was overcooked. This was our go to place for seafood but we will definitely not return. read more

I've been coming here since I was a child. I am 69 now. There has to be a new owner. The burgers are TINY. I use to only eat a half of one a year or so ago. I wouldn't care if they raised the price a bit but it's like a kid's size. So disappointing. And to pay $30 for a clam plate when I can pay the same at a really nice restaurant, why bother? I hope that the new owner takes note of some of these recent reviews. read more

Not the worst seafood I've ever had. My order: clam strips dinner. My side was onion rings. Came with slaw Pros: - not the worst seafood I've ever had. - The coleslaw was actually quite nice, but lettuce based. - my friend enjoyed her haddock sandwich Cons: -relatively incompetent staff in my experience. Not too friendly or attentive or proactive (except the blonde lady- she was nice and attentive) (ie they didn't give me my cup of tap water until my meal came. Would have wanted that first without asking). -food was greasy as all hell. Much greasier than the average fried food dinner. - ambiance needed a massive face lift. This place has potential to thrive under a massive change of staff and ambiance and menu. - 80% of customers were 80 years old or older. Things potentially affecting my experience: - ate lunch 2pm on Sunday. - there was a VERY grouchy customer who was rude to the staff. Just before me. So it's likely (?) that they had had it with people for the day. read more

Awesome full clam strip roll as well as fried clams. The breading was light and they were not greasy read more

My husband and I got a Super special and a Haddock sandwich. The food tasted good, but was definitely on the greasier side. The thing we Couldn't Eat At All was the "Onion sauce" it's suppose to be "Tartar sauce" but they use WAY TO MANY ONIONS!!!! In fact I had to make tartar sauce at home because there's is disgusting! Usually my husband can eat it, but this time he said the onions tasted awful! We threw it away! Why can't they have 2 different kinds?? Tartar sauce is so simple to make, I feel, if people had options they would love a milder more dill and sweet relish flavor, not onion with a splash of dill! ‍ To pay that much for food and have to turn around and make my own tartar sauce is SO WRONG! read more

I have been comming here for years and the quality has gone down and the prices have gone up. To get a Roast Beef Combo was very disapphere is fries and Cole slaw. To get a Jr beef combo and paying for a small drink came to $16. The coke slW was water and the fries were soft. Not heading back anytime soon read more

...so I have been back here several times since. Hoping for the sky to open up and for the food gods to come down and serve me something decent that a non-dead person would like... I have grey hair now and more wrinkles than I can count and I'm still waiting for good fried seafood. It's like the walking dead in there... Surrounded by people with no personality... And the customers aren't any better. I go in and say hi how are you and I get grumbles for a response with people just rolling their eyes. Mainly the older ones. The younger ones say hi but still roll their eyes. Hahaha The last time I went I was because I was encouraged to order the roast beef three ways. It was actually party good. But then again how can you mess that up? Roast beef, onion roll, cheese and the sauce they use. I'll order it again at some point. If your tongue is dead our left you a long time ago due to the lack of exposure of good food or opportunities to try better food, go here. Cornmeal isn't seasoning. I still don't recommend this place. I guess I'm a hopeless eater always expecting good food. read more

I'm a huge fan of roastbeef , haven't been to the land n sea in years . Was so excited for a nice fat Roast beef sub and what I got was a slap in the face . I think I was first customer of the day , and was hoping for fresh warm beef . But instead beef was not only dry but brown and cold. Not to mention for what you pay for a roast beef you expect it to be loaded , this was just not it . I'll let the photo speak for itself . One of the worst roastbeefs I've had . read more

I loved their fish sandwich. Not a frozen patty. It was fresh and flaky and tasted like cooked from fresh. Breaded or fried, but not greasy. Will return when in area. read more

I have been coming her for 10 years, the food is amazing, I always have 2 meals out what I get. The staff are friendly, I always tell people this is the best place in the north shore!! Better than Bill and Bobs and Kelly's by far!! For everyone that is complaining about price, everything has gone up! I have not found a place with great food and nice staff for cheap money!! Its called inflation. read more

Land 'N Sea Restaurant - Super beef - Seafood Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

i have been a loyal customer for the Land and Sea resteraunt for decades ! The food is very good but it is the quantity that has me upset ! Every time I have been there in the last two years the quantity of seafood is less and less with more French fries ! I went there last night got a clam plate and a combination plate and a small Cole slaw $ 68 dollars and some change ! I open it up at my home and was totally upset with the amount of French fries that was on the plate and how little sea food ! if I wanted a huge plate of French fries I would have gone to McDonalds ! I called and complained to the manager and his reply was that seafood is very expensive ! My family and I are done with Land and Sea ! Brian read more

Parents took me here when I was a kid, used to be amazing. place was clean, cheap costing food that was awesome, now? The people behind the counter are miserable, foods over priced for not enough, dirty, just overall not worth it anymore. read more

Have been coming here since 1985. Their Fried whole belly clams are simply the best I've ever had as is everything they serve. The tartar sauce is incomparable. Their food has been the most consistent in quality that you can imagine. If a unique taste sensation is what you crave then look no further. THIS IS IT!! read more

Land 'N Sea Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

Fried everything, basically a McDonald's and not a good one at that. Maybe my expectations were a bit high but I really felt that McDonald's or Burger King would have been just as good at a fraction of the price. Don't get your hopes up if you decide to go there. read more

Was extremely disappointed with land and sea tonight. Went there as I have for many years for the half chicken dinner wich was always cooked to order battered and fried.this is no longer the case now they serve frozen chicken. I thought most places would try to improve there menus. Going from fresh to frozen is far from a improvement. Won't be back . read more

This restaurant is not respecting COVID-19 guidelines in fact making fun of them. I was there when a employee was asked by a man that with his young teenage daughter to pull up his mask while cooking food, the employee then laughed in his face and pulled the mask down more. I understand the pandemic is near over but we are not completely done yet. Employees still have to be responsible and respectful about this. Me and my husband were completely shocked by this behavior and left. This is unacceptable. I'm reporting on behalf of that man and his young daughter that looked petrified. I feel terrible for them both. Again this is unacceptable behavior and I hope this review will change some sort of behavior that was presented here today. read more

Today I was at Land 'N Sea restaurant in Peabody, Massachusetts. There are no complaints about the food as it is always good. One thing I would like to touch on is the cleanliness of the place. From where I was sitting I noticed one of your employees just cleaning tables but failed to look under the tables to see if there were food crumbs on the floor. Sure enough I saw two tables that had crumbs underneath the table that was not swept away. This could lead to bugs. You should speak to your employees about cleanliness. It is not enough just to clean tables but to also clean the floors. read more

Wow, I have to say I have been coming here for years and i know the seafood is usually good. We went in 2 Sundays ago. We got a super beef 3way. usually superbeef has probably 6-8 oz of meat in it, not this one. This super that i spent 12 dollars on, was one of the cheapest RB I've ever got. What happened? Hopefully it was just a bad day. Will try one again. read more
