Roasty's

Really enjoyed Roasty’s! Based on other questionable reviews, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but we liked it a lot. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they gave us recommendations based on what we were craving. We went with the Boston-style roast beef, and it was terrific. They offer six different styles, and I want to return to try the rest as they looked really good. The string fries were a letdown, and I honestly do not understand the point of those — it was my first time having them and definitely the last. We also ordered a side of cheese for the fries, which, in retrospect, didn’t make much sense due to how thin they are. It’s almost impossible to dip them. The atmosphere inside is okay. It’s a casual spot with limited tables. We didn’t mind eating inside, but it did feel more like a takeout spot!

Unreal sandwich — as messy as it is good. The North Shore didn’t stand a chance; I absolutely dummied it. Friendly staff, beer on tap, and a chill setup with a few tables but mostly bar seating and standing room. Never ate 8 ounces of beef so fast in my life. If you’re in Portland and craving a proper sandwich, Roasty’s is a must.

This place was so good, the cheese shoestring fries and the Chicago Italian beef, wet, yum!! I was crying from the heat but it was so good. I should’ve asked for less peppers because I have a low tolerance. Only thing we didn’t love was the slaw, but it’s bc the rest stole the show!

Roasties is hands-down the best roast beef spot in Portland. The sandwiches are insanely good — packed, flavorful, and always fresh. Today is their anniversary and they’re doing a buy one, get one free deal, which is just wild considering how high-quality their food is. Lori is amazing too — super friendly, welcoming, and makes the whole experience even better. If you’re seeing this today, seriously, go grab one (or two!). You won’t regret it.

If you like authentic north shore roast beef, this is absolutely not the place for you. The thinly sliced rare roast beef is supposed to melt in your mouth, instead they cover it with sauce to hide the fact that they’ve overcooked it. There’s no blood dripping into the paper wrappings, in fact there is no blood or paper wrappings whatsoever. If you were hoping for the traditional Greek family that works so hard, is very serious about what they do, and runs a tight ship (and you better watch your lip 😆), again this is not the place for you. The cashier just sort of wandered off as I was trying to pay him. I guess this was his way of telling me that they don’t accept cash. Honestly, I think they are partnering with amazon to get some fake reviews, and I don’t see how anyone that has enjoyed the roast beef down in Mass could find any joy in visiting this place. Haps down in Portsmouth is a much better option, and I will be sure to visit them again before I come back here. Honestly I’d go to Arby’s in Auburn before I come back here, whilst also saving money (at more than $20 just for this miserable sandwich). Lastly, I really have to say that the places on the north shore wouldn’t serve me something so terrible, not only because their reputation is on the line, but also because they take way too much pride in what they do to do this to their customers.

Wow, I will not be going to any other sandwich shop for a while. So good, so much meat packed in their sandwiches, the beast fries are on another level of flavor. It's not a cookie cutter subway or jersey Mike's..Yum

First time having a Boston Three Way, didn't know it looked like that. A bit hot to hold at first but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm a big roast beef guy, always prefer it to other cold cuts, and this didn't disappoint. Fries were too salty. Salt levels that nearly hurt. I powered through cause I'm built different but I think they should tone down the salt and just put some on the table for people to add if they'd like. Price wise, they're not posted on the wall menu so just know it is on the expensive side of things. Well worth visiting if you like roast beef though.

The service is amazing, very friendly staff. The food is very flavorful and definitely an amazing value with the portion size too. Its a very chill vibes and welcoming place to eat. The restaurant is clean and has a good amount of seating. Definitely would recommend for a date spot for valentines day / a date spot anytime. They have gluten free options including beer which makes this spot a gluten free friendly spot.
