Nestled at 17 Canal St in Salem, MA, Sammy's Roast Beef & Seafood has carved a niche for itself as a go-to spot for satisfying beef and seafood cravings. The reviews echo a consistent theme: exceptional flavors and hearty portions. Alex Rodriguez touts the 3-way super roast beef as the reigning champion, while the quirky Sindi's Roast Beef, topped with onion rings and bacon, has patrons raving about its deliciousness. Adding a kick with a side of James River sauce seems to elevate the experience further.

The take-out option is popular, as noted by C Bella, who highlights the meticulous attention to orders, particularly when it comes to customizing sauces.

They sling a delicious and savory beef. The 3-way super roast beef is king, as it should be, but the "Sindi's Roast Beef"(comes with onion rings and bacon) on the menu, I mean, are you kidding me? Outrageously good. And if you get it with a little side of extra James River? Come on, now. If you're into north shore beefs, don't let me catch you not trying out Sammy's, you hear me? There's no excuse!

Stumbled across this restaurant leaving the Salem Halloween night festivities. It was pretty crowded, and service was delayed. Restrooms for customers. Prices were reasonable and large portions. Pepperoni Calzone - very cheesy/thick with pepperoni (yummy and shareable) Roast Beef Sandwich - very good! Cesar Salad - to be expected They also wrapped our utensils in a tortilla (not sure if this was a Halloween prank, haha). We found it unusual and funny. Would recommend for a quick, casual bite.

Absolutely awesome food and service!! Huge portions and delicious! Right off of the main "tourist" district. The lady working is a rockstar...cooking and running the counter. She seemed to know a lot of the regulars. We knew we were at a great place when we saw how much the locals loved it. Thanks!

I took an order to go, but the staff there are always friendly. The food is always delicious and exact to my order (I like my roast beef with extra BBQ sauce. They put extra on the actual sandwich but included a small container of it on the side, just in case). The picture is of a small. One day, I will order a large to see how big that is.

Great food! This place has very little seating (maybe 5 booths). It looks like most of the business is take-out. We walked there from the Hampton so chose to eat there. Like someone else said, look past the outside and you will find amazing food! They had four full menu boards of items to choose from making it hard to decide. We ended up with fish and chips (comes with onion rings and coleslaw as well) and a calzone. I had the David's calzone (grilled chicken, spinach, feta cheese, onion and house dressing). It was huge, cut into four pieces. I could only eat one so took the rest to go. I do recommend this place!

Came here on a whim, biggest and best turkey club! I loved the pasta, big portions and very affordable. The plates can easily be shared. They take cash and card. Very nice, will be coming back!

Stumbled across this place by chance. The pizza was delicious, as was the super seafood special. The staff was very friendly and the food didn't take very long to prepare. Definitely recommend!
