Village Roast Beef & Seafood

"This place used to be fantastic, always busy but still fast. When Galaree and the old staff were around it was a daily visit for me, these days however, the food quality has gone way down, and prices have gone through the roof. They nickel and dimes you on everything, and are now trying to make up for their lower customers by offering more menu items like lo mein and Italian pasta. Their brand has completely been destroyed at this point, The Marbleheaders who used to love their food under the last management have simply moved on to better places... Which is why this place is usually empty these days, as they rarely get your order right anyway."

"As a local contractor who used to visit village RB&S almost every day for lunch under the past 2 owners, I have to say that it has gone completely downhill. Food quality has gone down the drain, and the price is outrageously high. What used to be my favorite sub shop in Marblehead now charges 23 dollars for an underwhelming veggie sub and tiny order of cafeteria mozzarella sticks. A 2.99 heaping bag full of fries 3 years ago is now 5+$ for a portion 1/3 the size And they upcharge for everything. Ask for extra pickles instead of another ingredient, tack on a dollar even though it is replacing another ingredient on the listed menu. I guess there is a reason why they are now offering Italian pastas, tacos, fried rice and lo mein noodles as "specials" the new management have destroyed the Village Roast beef brand by not focusing on what made this place great, and are now just trying to be a Chinese, Mexican, Italian Sub and fried food shop instead of what made them lucrative for many many years for their great roast beef, fried seafood and foods, subs and Greek specialties. Only a few years ago, when Galaree worked there, she knew your order when you walked in, and there was always a line of contractors waiting for a sub on lunch break piled high for a decent price, the new management nickel and dimes you for everything, and will soon be out of business or as empty as the liberty tree mall. And they will sadly only have themselves to blame. It is so sad to see this 5 star sub and fried food shop fall so far with its new ownerships poor business decisions."

"Used to go here all the time but away and came back here obviously new ownership and it is horrible. They don’t even know what a Greek salad is anymore or what chicken kebabs are good luck. won’t be back. In addition, the prices are insane for what they give today and the quality is a less than one store. They don’t know what they’re doing."

"The service was fast and the food was hot. I ate at a nearby park overlooking the bay. Nice. Nothing fancy but the shrimp were large and tasty."

"I came here for the first time a year ago and have since made the drive from Boston multiple times. When I have friends visit now they request this place. I don’t know what kind of magic dust they put in these — but I will always need more Village Beef sandwich in my life."
