YES!
Stringfellow H.

A legend. Is it better than Bill's beef at C&S? By 5 votes in 2026 Battle of the Beef. Yes, it's good. Wicked good. This is a neck and neck beef when it compared to C&S, my personal favorite. Beef was super red, no gray. Bun was perfectly toasted. Service was excellent and I was able to talk with the owner, who takes great pride in his beef. This was awesome. No question. Small, tight seating area. Classic Massachusetts. Eat here and GFY.

HUGE calzone for a small! And the roast beef sandwich with fresh hot fries.

My husband likes to try different roast beef places on occasion, and asked if I'd join him in his trip to Pete's. I'm not a roast beef fan, but they have a lot of other choices on the menu, so of course I was in. I ordered a meatball calzone - I got the SMALL. Let me tell you, this thing was gargantuan. I only ate half of it! And it was so delicious... they added cheese on the top that added a nice crisp. The crust was perfect, too. My husband said the roast beef was excellent. Service and prices were reasonable too.

Junior Beef Sandwich 3 way and onion rings
Charles W.

Wow Pete's is out of this world good. Great roast beef, super rare, awesome tangy bbq sauce, perfect crispy bun. Reason why it's the 2024 beef champion. Onion rings sliced thin so super crunchy and a perfect amount of batter to onion ring. I'm impressed! Great service. Food came out quickly. Only knock on the place is lack of seating, there is 4 or 5 tables. Place is tiny, so I'm sure takeout is how they do business. Loved it! I will be back!!!

Super Beef 3-Way  Sandwich
Patrick G.

So far this is my favorite place to get New England style beef's. The bun is made really well & holds up to all the moisture, it didn't fall apart. The meat is super thin sliced, juicy, served rare as it should be. The cheese & sauce worked perfectly together and it was delicious. Small clean place with great service with a smile. Can't wait to go back.

i only get so many minutes, don't wanna spend 'em all on the clock  Big Beef Five Way from #PetesRoastBeef

I've had roast beef sandwiches before. I've had it from delis, sub shops, and even the hard to find beef on wecks. However, I have to say this was one of my favorites as far as delivering on the meat. Not only was it thick stack of it on the sandwich, but it was perfectly cooked to a medium rare that most places can't match. I had the five way, which has the onion rings and horseradish sauce. I think next time I'll try the four way with the raw onions. I would eat this sandwich daily if it was nearby me. I would recommend it to everyone who like roast beef, sandwiches, and just good fast casual food in general.

Had my first 4way. Bbq sauce, mayo, cheese and onion rings. Service was straightforward, walk up to the counter and order. Seating is limited here. The sandwich was really good. Piled high rare roast beef that was tender. Good amount of sauce to flavor the beef. It's a messy goodness.

In Woburn for the night and wanted Roast Beef. Pete's had the best Yelp reviews so that was my choice. Small mostly takeout place with about 4 tables inside and a few more outside. Steady stream of takeout customers at 8pm on a Monday. Walked right up to the counter and with a little help from the gentleman behind it I ordered the Big Beef Dinner Plate (Three-Way) that comes with a very large sandwich, onion rings, and fries. I also ordered a 20 oz soda. The food came out fairly quickly and the onion rings and fries were piping hot and straight from the fryer. Upon opening the box the smell made me start salivating and after taking my couple obligatory photos I attacked the Big Beef sandwich. 8-10oz of perfectly cooked roast beef on an onion roll with (Three-Way) cheese, mayo & bbq sauce. I destroyed that sandwich in the blink of an eye. By then the onion rings and fries had cooled. I polished off the onion rings and about 3/4 the fries before I realized what a glutton I was and finally ceased the carnage. A pack of rabid wolves probably couldn't have eaten that as quickly as I did. Great service, large portions, and super flavorful. With tax total was $23.94 I'd eat here again!

3 Way Wrap
David R.

It's been almost 2 weeks since I stopped at Pete's and I cannot get the 3 way wrap out of my mind. The super 3 way Sammy on an onion roll was excellent but that wrap stole my heart.

Super Beef - add $2.00 for the 5 way ( American cheese, mayo horseradish onion rings and James  River BBQ sauce)
Barry L.

When near the Northshore I'm up for a roast beef sandwich that I can't find where I live First visit to Pete's Roast Beef My guest ordered the Big Beef with Mayo - looks good piled high I ordered the super beef - 5 way add $2.00 (consists of - American cheese, mayo, horseradish, onion rings and James River BBQ sauce. Of course this sandwich is expected to be messy - the roast beef was unseasoned- a little salt and pepper and less sauce would have been a better choice for me . Other places there is no charge to add sauce to a sandwich Cheese is always additional we split a small french fry $5.99 - they were tasteless bland 2 20oz bottles of soda Total was $38.00 On the way out we each grabbed a slice of hot pizza- 2 slices $5.68 Pizza was ok, rather undercooked doughy - maybe because this was a slice pie that sits until sold by the slice I think I'll keep trying the Beefs in the Northshore to find my favorite

Plenty of fries and rings with some ketchup

This is a new shop in a very busy plaza but they have already become one of my favorites. The first…read morething I noticed was the Brazilian section the menu. For starters, the Cheese Everything I sandwich is a beast. It has everything you can think of, burger, chicken, ham, bacon, egg, cheese, corn, peas and potato sticks. It is easily two meals in one. I took a pic of the cross section because I can't put it into words. You have to try it to understand. The Calabreza Sausage pizza combines, smokey, sweet, cheesy and crispy. The flavors are very exotic and allow you to experience a known comfort food (pizza) in a new way. I would recommend it to all Pizza lovers. I've had the chicken wings plain, Teriyaki and buffalo. They are crunchy outside and tender inside. The teriyaki is my favorite. Also when you bite into the wing, there is a clean meaty taste not a weird freezer burn like you get at some pizza shops. The prices are on average with other area pizza shops but the quality is way above average. Finally the most important part. Their customer service is outstanding. You walk in and they greet you with a smile, pleasant conversation and a feeling of a well run business. The shop is clean and orderly. Plus, if you have any questions about the Brazilian menu, they are glad to answer.

Had some nice food here the other week. This is a cute place in Woburn Center, and you do feel like…read moreyou've stepped into Italy. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, so it's a great place for date night. The Fantastic: 1. Service -- our waiter was amazing, he took great care of us. We wanted for nothing! 2. Tortellini Alla Norcina -- this was delish. It was creamy, a little funky, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. 3. Cacio e Pepe -- also delish. 4. Mussels -- perfectly cooked, big and plump, and the bread to sop up the broth was also yummy. The plates are beautiful, but I think that plating and presentation takes priority over the food sometimes: 1. Bruschetta -- this was supposed to come with a balsamic drizzle, but it was served on a wooden plate and the drizzle was tiny and thin, so there wasn't really any balsamic. The dish could have used it to help cut through the cheese. 2. Bombolone -- dry, there was not a lot of custard in the pastry, and the surrounding sauces were more decorative than helpful. We did not enjoy the mixed drinks, they were all on the sour side and watery. So I would stick with wine or beer, the wine we had was excellent. Overall, we had a really nice time and would return.

My wife and I made a reservation for a Saturday night and upon arrival were seated immediately. To…read morestart, we ordered a perfectly cooked octopus antipasti, followed by tortellini alla norcina, and for a secondi the vitello alla petroniana (we were debating between this pasta/secondi combination and the pasta bolognese/swordfish special - will have to come back to get these next time!). I don't typically eat veal, and this cutlet was perfectly balanced - rich, savory, crispy, with a pleasant (but not overwhelming) salty kick from the prosciutto and parmigiano reggiano. We also ordered the spicy broccolini, which I highly recommend for the garlic lovers out there. For dessert we had the dark cherry (amarena?) gelato, which was delicious and creamy, with the perfect amount of sweetness. We shared each dish, and it was certainly plenty of food for the two of us. Prices felt reasonable for the amount and quality of what we ordered (all of the above + 2 drinks from the bar totaled approx. $160 pre-tip). The restaurant space itself is relatively small but has enough space to move around comfortably, which made it cozy without ever getting too loud (it was a pretty full house when we went), with a balanced dim lighting. Additionally, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the server patiently walked us through the menu and shared suggestions at our request. On a personal note I am especially appreciative of the staff, as I accidentally left without my hat, and the restaurant responded almost immediately to the message I sent through the restaurant website that same evening. Tl;dr - great menu, rich & hearty but balanced ingredients/recipes, and comfortable vibe. One really gets the impression that the husband/wife owners had a specific vision that they successfully brought into reality.

Andrea's Pizza in Winchester is the kind of place that gets it right without trying to impress you…read morewith anything unnecessary. It's a small spot with an authentic, no-frills atmosphere--the kind of place that's clearly been around for a while, in the best possible way. You can feel the history in the walls, but it's clean, well-kept, and inviting. The staff is helpful and genuinely accommodating. Service feels personal, like they actually care whether or not you enjoy your meal (which, frankly, you will). The pizza hits all the right notes--crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and cheese that's properly melty without being overdone. It's straightforward, high-quality pizza, and exactly what you hope for when you walk in. The steak bomb sandwich is loaded with perfectly cooked, tender meat--no shortcuts here. It's filling, flavorful, and made like someone in the back really knows what they're doing. The spicy fries are golden, crisp, and seasoned just enough to be interesting without going overboard. The only reason it's not a full five stars is the pricing--it's on the higher end for a local pizza place. Not outrageous, but definitely noticeable. That said, the quality makes a strong case for itself. In short: Andrea's is a neighborhood staple with great food, an honest atmosphere, and people who clearly take pride in what they do. Worth the visit, and then some.
