Supreme Roast Beef

Great subs. My husband and I had subs at lunchtime he the cheesesteak 12″ and I the Italian 12″. Both freshly made as ordered. The portion is so large it is hard to finish and you find that you are full all day. Great quality meats, delicious!

Love this place. It’s just good, hands down. My best friend and I come whenever we’re staying in Danvers. The amount of fries and onion rings you get is insane and the sandwiches are sure to fill you up. Do yourself a favor and get a «dinner» its a ton of food at a great price.

Ever since the owner switch, the quality has gone down quite severely. Also, the new staff is quite rude and confused… almost like they have no idea how to run a sub shop.
I keep going back and hope that it all changes, but it seems like it just won’t. I hate to move on from what used to be a fine establishment, but it looks like I’ll go to another roast beef shop in the future. Sorry guys… you were great before, and the change this time has probably done you in.

Delicious roast beef. Fresh onion roll and cooked pretty well. Could have been a little rarer but the taste and tenderness made up for it. Onion rings were super greasy but what do you expect? Great lunch in all and am planning on going back.

One of the greatest little hole in the wall places I’ve ever been to. Roast beef with extra sauce and the chicken kabob salad with creamy Greek dressing are the best. Oh and broccoli bites.

One year ago, my gf and I ordered a sub and roast beef from Supreme only to find that many of the toppings my gf ordered for were missing. It was literally just chicken pieces tossed into a sub roll. My roast beef was good. Because of the dissatisfaction my gf had for this place after that instance, which at the time I didn’t think was a big deal, we avoided Supreme for the good part of a year.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me…
So recently we finally came back to Supreme (after finding one Subway was closed earlier than their posted hours indicated, and another Subway having no sub rolls left). I ordered another roast beef ($ 5.80 as of 4÷18÷2015) and my now fiancée ordered a veggie sub ($ 3.25). She called Supreme in advance to find out about the vegetables. Are they grilled, fresh, etc. They confirm the vegetables were fresh and not grilled. So I go to pick up the order without knowing exactly what she ordered. The bill somehow got to $ 14.07. I inquired as to why a roast beef sub and vegetable sub would both cost that much. The lady at the register told me my fiancée ordered a chicken kabob sub. She then asked the cook to clarify the order who told her that the sub was a veggie sub. She only deducted a $ 1 from the original charge (after hearing her mummer something about there being a difference of $ 2). I still thought I was being over charged but thought perhaps the toppings or something was ordered that increased the price… always know what you’re picking up (which I tend to, but not this time).
As I get home, I looked up exactly what we ordered and well $ 5.80 + $ 3.25 + tax (6.25%) DOES NOT EQUAL $ 13.07 (it’s $ 9.62 rounded up). And there is no mention of extra toppings costing anything. It’s a difference of roughly $ 4, but the principle is that they schemed me to gain an extra few dollars (that’s called fraud for short). The lady’s immediate assumption of there being only a difference of a $ 1 was too rushed to indicate any form of care for the customer.
Moral of the story is not to go here. They didn’t care or pay attention to our order the two times we came here that were both a year apart, so their carelessness is a consistent practice.

went for lunch today and had the haddock sandwich, while my partner had the gyro. i also ordered a side of onion rings, but we didn’t get them [and weren’t charged for them]. i think there was some confusion on the part of the order taker. we did get an order of small fries and it was huge. everything was good. my fish was fresh. it could have used a bit more tartar sauce on it but otherwise, delicious!

6 months ago I said it was horrible, and that night it was horrible. But there is hope first time back since it so close and I’m starving for roast beef craving. It’s great and service was great.

I’ve eaten here a few times before and the food was always decent. I recently stopped by after work to pick up a sub and fries and got home and was disappointed. all day I was craving pickles, so I decided to get a chicken cutlet sub with American cheese, extra pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and light mayo with a side of small fries. there was only 1 other person in there and my food was ready in less than 5 minutes. I brought it home and realized they forgot my cheese, pickles, and onions. just shredded lettuce and tomatoes, and soggy chicken pieces and fries… I was so disappointed. did they pay attention at all to my order? I wish I had those items in my fridge but didn’t so my sub was really bland. also they covered it in mayo when I asked for light. I will not be coming back, even though my bf likes to go there.

3 stars, don’t get me wrong the food is good but the portion size on some of their «dinners» is meager at best. Just got the steak tip dinner and left with a giant box of fries and onion rings with 6 of the tiniest tips I’ve ever seen.

I stopped here while on a road trip and had a total unexpectedly good cheese steak: soft bread, good sliced & chopped beef, and one slice of white cheese (perfect, since usually they have too much chesse). The other road trippers I was with had seafood platters and onion rings and kept commenting on how fresh it all was. Well worth the visit.

I am actually here right now as I type this and I have to note that I am a fan.
I had to try their fries to see what all the hype was about, and everyone was right– their fries are very good. I like that they are thin and not fat like other places. HOWEVER my one thing about this place is the KETCHUP that comes with the fries is awful! Might i suggest invesing in some HEINZ? Seriously, the ketchup just does nothing for the fries and with fries this good you need the best ketchup also. I would honestly consider it because it DOES make a difference.
Also another side note for everyone, when you order a salad, make sure to ask for extra dressing on the side, just in case. I have found that they do not provide enough.

I was a huge fan of this place about a year ago, but recently, the quality of the staff has gone way down. There is one woman who works the counter, she is rude, and very slow. I often wait over 15 – 20 minutes just to be waited on, even when I call in an order. I will not be going there any longer with her working behind the counter.

Just try the fries… then youre going to try everything else. Thats how great this place is… all the food here is amazing. We drove back 30 miles (we moved) just to eat here. They’re also open late

While this place does make a good roast beef, it is not Nick’s.
I eat here on occasion and for the most part I get a quality beef, with a good amount of fries or rings or whatever you order for a side. Its open late, which is perfect when you’ve got a hankerin’ for a late night beef.
However, I have run into the occasion where there is some gristle in my sandwich that needed to be spit out. Not cool. It’s an extremely rare occasion, to be sure, but I’ve never ever run into that at Nick’s.
For condiments they use your standard James River BBQ sauce, and perfectly reasonably duck sauce for your chicken fingers. I must say though, that they nickel and dime on the quality of their ketchup packets. It’s some brand I have never heard of and while they will give you more than enough for your fries, it really is lacking in taste. Pony up for some Heinz, Supreme’s, your customers will appreciate it.
Lastly, they have been taking credit cards for some time now. Not sure when they switched, but it is absolutely a payment option as that is how I pay.

Take my review rather lightly as i have only lived here for 6 months now, but Supremes absolutley rocks! I was recommended to their restaraunt by a friend whose family has lived in Danvers for at least 100 years. Her recommendation was spot on! Delicious, filling, great value, ability to customize, and a fun atmosphere. I have eaten here at least five times in six months and it has been nothing short of excellent each time.

This is the only place I have found that rivals Nick’s in Beverly. I am no roast beef expert, but Supreme makes a damn good sandwich. Just writing this makes me hungry for another… Mail order? I wish…
Seriously, you can’t go wrong with this place. But just be aware, it is cash only!

Used to be so much better. About ten years ago, I literally ate here every single day for almost 2 years. Most of the employees were part of the family and they literally knew what 500 of their most frequent customers were going to get.
On a great day, this place still absolutely rocks. On a bad day its just OK. For every 2 OK days, you get a great day. I still say take the gamble!
Just don’t get a hamburger or sub here. Go elsewhere for that. This place is good for roast beef and a few of their appetizers only.
If you want a guaranteed great roast beef, also try Nick’s RB in Beverly (my favorite despite growing up around the corner from Supremes)

Oh Supreme’s, how you have failed me.
Danvers is my hometown and growing up there meant you and your friends go to Supreme’s for a beef basket at least a couple times a week. Its right down town (rather Danvers’ poor excuse for a down town) and pretty much was where kids went to hang out. The North Shore is big on roast beef, and Supreme’s USED to be the place to go.
The beef was phenomenal. I mean it used to just be outstanding. So thinly cut, and moist. The service used to be phenomenal as well. Paul used to be the guy who stood behind the counter and took care of the fries and mozzarella sticks, and though he was definitely a huge creep, everybody loved him because he knew EVERYONE of our orders. Literally walk in, Paul tells the beef guy to throw on a large beef cheese sauce for me. Then it all changed…
Now, Supremes is an embarassment to my Danvers Roast Beef pride. Its just terrible. The beef is dry, poorly cut, and usually cold in the middle. The fries have gone to shit, and they fired Paul (probably because he was so creepy, but still!).
The service is horrendous now, and everything feels different. I gave supreme’s two stars just because I remember a better time there, and to the new patron it might seem better.
Supremes… you broke my heart.

I wasn’t a Roast Beef fan until I meet you SRB…
Growing up, the closet contact I had with Roast Beef was Arby’s. Yes, pretty pathetic but those were the cards I was dealt with in the Midwest. So when I moved to Boston over a year ago I noticed a slew of RB places. Since I wasn’t a fan it never registered on my radar. Well that all changed forever with my discovery of true RB heaven with SRB.
I was passing thru the area one afternoon to get my haircut and I noticed a huge line of people outside waiting to order here. I discovered that once a year they roll back prices to what they were in the early 70s. Now price might lure you in but kick arse food will have you running back for more. I figured it was all gimmick. I was so wrong. Weeks passed so I decided it was time to loose my RB cherry and checked out the Unilocal in the North Shore. SRB came highly recommended so I finally took the plunge.
You will notice the retro dining area and signage. It harks back to the 60/70’s but it is very clean and well care for. The staff and cooks are Greeks and one thing I know about Greeks is they can make some awesome food. It can be a bit of a barrier with the broken English trying to order but not a big deal. I decided to go with the Supreme Roast Beef Basket with BBQ Sauce, Fries and a Coke. The price was around $ 8.50 with tax. The RB is the most tender and delicious I have ever tasted. It melts in your mouth and the BBQ is sloppy and tangy. The shoe string fries are on par with McDonalds if your are a fan. The Coke is good but fountain refills are extra… just like the 70s.
I hope SRB has spoiled it for everyone else because I will use them to judge RB from here on out…
