Peter's Super Beef
1485 N Shore Rd
Revere, MA 02151
(781) 286-5610

Kelly's Roast Beef may be the pride of Revere, but ask any resident where the best roast beef is and they'll point you to Peter's Super Beef. This little shop has a great roast beef for around $8. Try a roast beef sub or sandwich or go all out with the gigantic "Super Beef." Parking can be a little spotty so don't be afraid to call in your order before showing up. It is also a very short walk away from Revere Beach and Revere Beach station on the Blue Line. Be sure to bring cash though, as this family run business doesn't take credit or debit.

For just a classic roast beef sandwich you can get the "Aged Black Angus Roast Beef" for $10.95, or if you're feeling a little more daring you can grab a "Roast Beef Blues" sub for $11.95. This delicious sandwich comes on an Italian Sesame Roll with horseradish, caramelized onions and crumbled blue cheese dressing.

Royal Roast Beef & Seafood is another great option for a roast beef sub or sandwich. This spot on Bennington St. offers a lot of parking as it has its own private lot for customers.
