“I stumbled upon this place which I thought was a great location, being right near the lake. I got a sausage and peppers which came on an enormous bun, with a long sausage to match. It was loaded with peppers and onions. For the price, it's truly affordable and you are getting a hefty meal. The sausage was divine and made me so happy and now I'm going to have a great rest of my day because of two hardworking guys that are out there in the freezing wind still grilling and making delicious food. Thank you so much! I will be back ?“
“This is a practically weekly go-to in our family for good quality, comfort food. Some of our must-haves are the meatballs, the salmon grilled dinners, and the Italian or Steak Bomb subs but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu...we haven't yet!“
“Everything that I’ve ever eaten there was top notch and cooked to perfection!! I’m a foodie and can tell they use top quality ingredients, while maintaining affordable prices!! You can tell that the owner & chef, Juan, has a passion for cooking. I travel from Revere Beach for his food and it’s worth the trip!!!“
“Can only rave about the Crispy Pepperoni Cup tray pizza. It has a thick and chewy crust. Not many places in Boston have the crispy edge pepperoni cups like the one here. Very cheesy and added touch of honey. I personally didn't mind the honey but I wonder if it can be put on the side. Will definitely get this pizza again“
“The upgrades made me giggle; the last time I was there, signs were handwritten, and you could see behind the glass. It hasn't changed too much because there's still mental math and a calculator and an ATM because it's CASH ONLY ??“
“I had lunch here. Wonderfully cooked sausage, peppers, and onions sub. Literally bursting with filling. Very nice mom and pop place - they’ve owned the place about the same amount of time as I’ve been alive! Lol.Great food. Lovely atmosphere. No annoying music or noises.“

“This review is for the roast beef and roast beef only. A while back, I fell down the rabbit hole of an r/Boston thread that debated where to get roast beef and Mike's ranked as one of the top places particularly for its authenticity and value (apparently, Redditors are staunch in their belief that North Shore places should be avoided, or anywhere else that requires a fork and knife to eat the sandwich). Anyway, we pulled up on our way to Costco and ... my expectations were not high. It seemed like a typical fried food joint right across the street from the Encore.* Well, this is a lesson to never judge a book by its cover because the sandwich was phenomenal. There's a reason why that sign looks super vintage, it's been around for decades. We got the super beef three way (BBQ, mayo, and cheese), and after the first bite, I wished we had each gotten our own sandwich. The onion roll was super chewy and pillowy, the beef tender, the sauces combining in perfect harmony. UGH. I'm not a beef person at all but I could've eaten the whole thing myself. If I'm in the area next time, I might take it to go - there's not much seating and you're just looking out at a parking lot and the street. PARKING: Just a warning that if you pull in from Broadway and park on the front-facing side, you may have to back out onto Broadway, which gets pretty busy. There are spots further along the other side. *I looked up later to find that Mike's was sold last year for $5.5 million to the same development group that owns the Encore. Hope it sticks around!“
