I'm going with a 4 here because Surfside Subs is a very reliable spot in between Good Harbor and Long Beach, they absolutely get the job done. The service was sufficient and I was certainly swooned by this excellent deal - $5 for a cheeseburger! I was gonna dive into my (insufficient) bank account and get a steak bomb for $12.99, but upon seeing the 5 dollar deal that includes a burger and chips, I pushed the idea of getting steak aside like a pride of lions to a zebra. The burger wasn't the best one I've ever had, but it was surely good, I enjoyed how the bun was toasted. This made my early summer's day feel complete! read more

My husband and I had delicious lobster rolls from this place for dinner last night. It was Monday, so each roll was $13.99 and let me tell you, that is some deal!!! It was filled with pure meat-no fillers like celery. It came with a side of potato chips and 3 slices of sweet pickle. So Yummy! The people behind the counter too taking orders are so friendly. Lots of good energy & food coming out of Surfside Subs!!! We will definitely be back! :) read more

Lobstah rolls for less than $20.... literally how is that possible in this economy? This is the perfect place to stop by on your way to a beautiful Gloucester beach. The service was super fast and the ambiance was nice and family friendly. read more

My absolute favorite pizza on the North shore! We go for a well done pepperoni at least once a week during the summer--then chomp at the bit all winter long until they reopen again the following spring. Highly recommended! read more

Outstanding the best lobster rolls ever can't beat the price and the staff is amazing. Highly recommended.

We tried the Tuesday night Lobster Roll special. Two good sized rolls on toasted hotdog buns, classic. Well worth the like $16 for both. Lots of lobster, not much filler, just like I like it. CON - NO fried food (weird!) so no onion rings as I was craving. Only chips. SO- WELL worth a visit, if you are in the area. read more

Just went here for the Tuesday lobster roll special. Grabbed it and took it back to the motel for lunch. It's a spartan takeout shack so no great ambiance. Lobster roll was very tasty. Lots of lobster and no fillers. read more

Surfside Subs - Lobster roll - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

chips w lobster roll are now smaller portions for some reason, they used to give you a huge amount, yesterday there were only a few, I get it, you're busy but the problem is the PARKING you have to wait like an HOUR for the food sometimes too long they need to move to a better space read more

The lobster rolls are delicious. It was very busy but the staff is efficient. Will go back many times

Such a hidden gem! Delicious lobster rolls (hubby said their burgers are great, too). Staff are so friendly and welcoming; they really make you feel like they're happy to see you. Also...$13.99 lobster rolls on Tuesday! What's not to love? read more

Surfside Subs - Lobster roll (of course!) - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Very convenient place to stop for take out food when we travel to that area. We've had the lobster rolls and they hold up to other places but for 1/2 the price! Very nice people as well. Pizza is ok but not my first choice of pizza places. read more

Tuesday's they have $15 lobster rolls, order ahead of time as it gets busy Great food read more

Just got a lobster roll for $15 the other day and it was delicious. I usually prefer hot but this hit the spot. Photos from after I ate half. read more

Surfside Subs - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Hard to rate. I've loved this place the last few years, but lately, my lobster rolls have had pieces of shell. The last time took out part of one of my fillings. It's too bad because they're a good size and made the way I like them--no filler besides light mayo, and a buttered, toasted roll. I'll probably (carefully) give them another try sometimes. read more

They forgot the cheese on my cheesesteak and the meat seems more like ground beef. I also asked for pickles to be added and it came with bread and butter pickles which seems like an odd choice. read more

Pizza was an XL pepperoni, and by the time it was picked up it was cold. It was okay, hopefully if there's a next time, it's a little warmer to the touch read more

Food was good, I went for half off lobster Tuesdays and will not be back. First off the ambiance is dangerously hot. I understand today is a very hot day but the establishment should have powerful enough AC especially for the staff! Service was good, everyone was friendly, not timely though. What i dont get is this is a weekly thing so how are they not better prepared? I see the lobster rolls are prepackaged, if thats all I ordered how come not just hand one to me? They are also super poorly organized as to where people have placed orders should go and people who still have to order. Took me 45 mins to get a lobster roll! read more

Surfside Subs - Lobster Roll Tuesday Special - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

We had a large group of us and figure we should just order some pizza to hold us over for the evening. This place was recommended by a local as having 'killa pizza'. We got a few different types with various toppings on them. The pizzas were fairly large and covered well in toppings. The pizza was good, but nothing to write home about. I will say that it did get cold very quickly. If you wanted it warm you needed to heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds to get the cheese melty again. read more

It's a roadside sandwich, pizza, ice cream stand with picnic tables. We loved it. We went because of the recommendation from a local business owner. "Where can we get a good lobster roll without spending $40 for a sandwich and where we won't need to push through a crowd." It was delicious. Grilled buttered roll topped with minimally dressed lobster. A satisfying bite. Crispy chips and couple of slices of sweet pickles were a perfect accompaniment. Spent less than $40 for two sandwiches and drinks. On Tuesdays it would have been less. We had ice cream for dessert. Portions were very generous. read more

we are regular customers for the Tuesday lobster roll special. And, we occasionally get a pizza. Food is excellent and good value. staff is great. the place gets a bit crazy on nice summer evenings, but worth the effort. read more

We were driving by and sandwiches sounded good. I told hubby to ask if they did hot buttered lobster rolls and if not to get a sub. He was going to get a steak bomb after he asked what was on it. When he came out, he already had a look of regret on his face. He said there was a big language barrier and he thought the guy understood what he was asking about the lobster roll but it was clear when he handed him a heavily mayo'd roll that he didn't. When he couldn't explain what was on the steak bomb, he said to just give him a cheese steak. I dumped my lobster and had the world's most expensive hot buttered hot dog bun and my husband said whatever they gave him was not a cheese steak. He ate it anyway because he had a two hour drive ahead of him and being hangry at rush hour isn't ideal. read more

I found four bugs in my salad there could have been more. The salads are obviously not made fresh on order like their website says. I've always loved the pizza here since I was a kid but finding that many bugs in my salad (one still alive!!) makes me a little queasy to eat anything from here. read more

Not sure why nobody has really talked about HOW AMAZING THE LOBSTER ROLLS ARE HERE! They use a high quality bun that is toasted well, it is served with cold fresh lobster that isn't dressed with all of that lobster salad non-sense certain places have that takes away from the taste of lobster. One of my go to spots for lobster rolls in the area now! Service is quick and very no frills. There is an ice cream store next door (Long Beach dairy) which has dole whip! On Tuesdays the lobster rolls are only $13.95! Unfortunately I've never been able to come on a Tuesday. But definitely a great value if you're able to try it on a Tuesday. Highly recommend anyone to check out this hidden gem if you are looking for a good lobster roll, and trust me, I've tried ALOT of lobster rolls. read more

If there was a lower rating than a one star I'd give it to them Grilled chicken on a parm sub is crazy. Also had better pizza from a box in the freezer than that balaony read more

Over past two years, we tried them all. Truly every pizza shop in Gloucester (and into Rockport). In the end, not even close. Surfside pie is thin, crisp and flavorful. St. Peter was fantastic. Note; expensive but enormous. Brought home 3 remaining slices. Flip-flop atmosphere. Fountain drinks. Ice cream out front. Only reason not 5 stars is Otto Boston still rules roost. But this was closer than we expected. read more

Surfside Subs - 18" St. Peter's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Just moved to the neighborhood got a pizza Most expensive I have ever had did not fit in the box burnt outside and raw in the middle Tried a sub Small sub $11 most expensive ever nothing special Almost double the price of other restaurants Worth the extra mile drive for something bettey read more

I wanted to provide lunch for 20 and I wasn't exactly sure how to do it. But I called them and they were SO NICE and helpful. The next day I ordered and they delivered a bunch of subs/pizza/salads. The people are nice, the food was very good, the order was correct, and they delivered when they said they would. I was very happy with the entire interaction with them. read more

Ordered two chicken bombs the other night and they were fantastic! Their sub rolls are fantastic! Wish they would cut them though. Last night we stopped by again for a pizza. They probably have the best pizza in Gloucester/Rockport area! Worth a try. read more

Delicious hot subs. Fresh sub rolls and excellent grilled chicken. Easy walk from Long Beach. Will definitely be back

Got a pizza last night and it just doesn't taste the same anymore. They use less cheese and the sauce tastes different. I got over the service (which is horrendous btw) AND I got over the fact that they lazily close for half a year. But, now the pizza isn't that great anymore. Wtf guys! Don't you know that changing the recipe is a recipe for disaster? Honestly, it pains me to post a negative review but I'm so ticked off I can't count on Surfside for a good slice anymore. It feels like I have to inform others who would wish to consume this below mediocre slab of bleh. read more

We've had pizza all over the area - for years! Heard about this place from a friend and tried it last Fall. Fabulous pizza! We had a St Peter's. And cheers and pepperoni. All great! They make a great pie! Excellent lobster rolls and they have them in a discount on one day per week. read more

Very disappointed in the service I was given tonight. Called and ordered a pizza,was given attitude by young girl on phone, and was told 30 minutes, went in a few minutes early so was already expecting to wait a little bit. They were busy at time so I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. 20 minutes had gone by So i asked the girl how much longer, she proceeded to scoff at me telling me she didn't know right this second. She then turn around and my pizza had been sitting there for 10 minutes. She gave no apology whatsoever. I have worked at a pizza shop before and understand that when it gets busy, it gets frustrating but that is not an excuse to treat paying customers in that manner. Thankfully the pizza was good but the girls at the front counter need have more positive attitudes given they represent the business. read more

Not sure what happened or changed from this summer to last but after two attempts the pizza is just not even close to the same enjoyable pizza we had at this place. I get over the rude service for good pizza. But wow this isn't the same pizza at all! No cheese! Barely any sauce. All Very bland. We ordered the margarita and it's not a margarita. No fresh basil, no fresh mozzarella just a bunch of dried Italian seasoning. Won't be coming back and not even sure how a place could change this drastically read more

There's no comparison. The pizza is amazing. I wish you delivered to NY!! subs are always good, great food! If your lucky, lobster roll Tuesday! Can't beat it! read more

Re: Pizza-good luck getting what you order. We ordered 3 larges. 1 basic cheese, 1 cheese and pepperoni, the third (we have a lactose intolerant person in our party) we asked for just sauce, grated Parmesan, meatballs, green pepper and pepperoni. We got sauce, Parmesan, ONIONS and meatballs-NO PEPPERONI & NO GREEN PEPPER. We didn't even order the onions. WTH? We are 2 strikes on the pizza front on Cape Ann. Do not order pizza here! We do that one night of our vaycay as a cost savings and also to bring to the picturesque Headlands for dinner with a view. Been a tradition of ours for several years, until now going forward! Re: Long Beach Dairy Maid YUM! Huge sizes and excellent service. My daughter works in an ice cream shop at home for the summer and she loves it here. She tends to be quite judgy on her experience being in that field herself in a touristy area. read more

Lobster roll was not very good, $25. .... NOT fresh lobster meat, heavy mayo, barely filled the roll, which was excellent but I didn't go there for the bun. Served with sliced sweet pickels, really?? We try to stay local to support our local restaurants, but they need to step it up read more

If you are driving by on a Tuesday, this is a place that you must visit. The lobster roll is delicious. All meat, no filler. Just a light amount of mayonnaise. Even at full price this would be a good deal because it's a good roll. But on Tuesdays it's an outstanding deal! read more

There was no problem with the food or any of the drink there was one inconvenience . I was told that it would take a hour to arrive but it arrived in 30 min. This was inconvenient because I was balls deep in my wife but overall great experience. read more

Food is decent but service was insulting. I ordered two pizzas (keep in mind these are $25 pizzas) and 1 salad on a Saturday night. The online order said it was going to be 20-40 mins for pickup. We arrived at 45 min mark and they said it would be another 30 minutes. Sent my husband back 30 mins later since we had a carful of kids waiting, and they didn't include the $12 salad. I tried calling repeatedly and got busy signal and got hung up on several times. I called again the next day - same thing, busy signal. Finally got through to them days later and they said there was nothing they could do and I should've called the day it happened. Infuriating. Will never give them business again. Wouldn't be as mad if their prices weren't so inflated. read more

Pizza was ok. Best to do take out or eat in car. Steak sub was rated 4 out of 10. very dirty and in terrible condition outside on left sitting area. Needs TLC and a gardener. Pet friendly, but not clean place to bring dog. read more
