“Did 4 back to back taste tests on North Shore roast beef and the others don't come close to Alex's roast beef. Fine sliced beef, great flavor and zero, I mean zero fat in the beef. Also great roll. Dave Portnoy scored of 9.9 is legit. Tip- don't bother with Nicks or Jamie's roast beef.“

“I haven't been there for years and have been thinking about it so I finally ordered a Yankee Pot Roast. It was superb and I will definitely be back but I was disappointed they didn't include gravy for my double order of mashed. I will be specific next time. I gotta try the prime rib too, I never had a bad steak there.“

“Such a consistent experience. Both pickup and delivery.“

“We had the best experience at Carmine! Everyone and everything was amazing!“

“Great atmosphere- friendly staff- delicious food!“

“We've always had a good experience with 15 Walnut. It is popular, so be sure to get reservations, especially on Friday nights. The three of us had 3 different meals, and all were good. The waitress, Rebecca, was friendly and helpful. My pulled pork sandwich was excellent - warm, with an excellent BBQ sauce, and very tasty. The bill was moderate - less than what we've seen at similar restaurants. We'll return.“

“Best lobster around! Megan was a great waitress! Patient and attentive!“

“Just had three varieties of steak and cheese subs. Ordered large onion rings and french fries. These are extremely generous orders. We should have gotten a small order of each. All three subs very good. Fast delivery. 4 people eating 3 large subs and we have leftovers. Good taste. Good value. Can't get good steak and cheese like this in the Midwest!!“

“Not sure what the experience the other reviewers here had but we had an unbelievably amazing experience! The views were out of this world- nowhere else in Beverly can say the same. Our server Carolyn was absolutely amazing- she was so diligent with the allergies at our table and took the time to recommend things that would fit all of our needs. We will definitely be back and would always request her. Food was amazing, huge portions, flavorful, and came out so quickly! A must in the area! The only down-side was parking, but we figured it out!“

“After having visited several less then satisfactory Chinese food restaurants, my mother and I decided to try the Eighty Eight. The food was delicious. We were very pleasantly surprised. We opted to eat in, which we both enjoyed. It's a great (very clean) place to spend a quiet meal with a friend or loved one. You can stay as long as you want, and the owners/staff were very nice.“

“I would recommend going here. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was fresh and presented beautifully on our plates. We had a table on the deck outside and it’s was a great view of the boats and the river/ocean. We had a great experience and you won’t be disappointed!“

“I recently ordered from this Chinese restaurant, and I’m absolutely impressed! The food is absolutely delicious—packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The delivery service is super easy and fast, making the whole experience hassle-free. I’ll definitely be ordering from here again! Thank you“

“I really enjoyed my Roast Beef Sandwich. The meat itself was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and generously piled on. I'm not a huge fan of seeded rolls, but it was very fresh and buttery. The lettuce, tomato and horseradish were likewise very fresh.“
