Weirs the Beef
 
We went there on Saturday for lunch. It was just like I remembered, awesome. We all had super beefs with cheese and sauce. The grilled (lightly toased) onion roll is a perfect touch for the Super Beef. By far the best rb sandwich in the lakes region.

Weirs the beef--forever
 
We had a WONDERFUL sub there the other day. The day they opened and all was perfect. Glad to have Tommy back!!!:)

Is the old Weirs country store next to Donna Jeans?

Overlake97 05-25-2010 02:51 PM

Country Store?
 
Yes, please remind us: Where was the Old Country Store, and thus the new Weirs the Beef? I'm somewhat -> :confused:

When you stand at the famous Weirs sign and look north up the Weirs blvd with the train on the right, Weirs the beef is the building that looks like it is built in the middle of the street. (Just past the pier)

Wasn't this the bbq place? Or is this a different entity in the same place?

OH MAN, tell me about it!
One of my many jobs, was a Mechanic for Leaseway of New England, more money was welcomed, home based in Beantown where we had over a 1000 registered trucks in Boston proper, and tons more beyond that! I'd get there in the afternoon, jump into my service truck and head out with a list of service orders to correct any deficiencies that occurred. I was also on call for any breakdowns and had to go back to the shop on occasion and break out what we affectionately named "Big Birtha". An old Mack Thermodyne gas powered tractor with a Big Ben fastened to the fifth wheel. A hydraulic towing apparatus.
One day, oh and was it ever hot, one of our Columbia Gem meat products trucks broke down in the South Station Tunnel during rush hour. I can attest that the exhaust fans in that there tunnel were grossly inadequate, as I dang near died fighting traffic, hookin it up and getting it out of there.

To make a loooong story short. Besides my dispatcher being dyslectic in his interpretation for directions, for my locating in the BOSTON area, I was equipped with a mobile phone so I told the dispatcher very early on to just give me the truck driver's phone #.

Worked for me! :)
2010 and movin on

RG, That is not correct. Next Store up... Past the Footbridge over the RR Tracks. Used to be the Weirs Beach General Store.

dykg 05-27-2010 11:17 AM

Is it the old Superette Store?

Overlake97 05-27-2010 12:39 PM

And the correct answer is....

Bigstan is right, the place in Rattlesnakes Guy's picture IS still the BBQ place (Smoke Shack). WeirsBeachBoater wins the prize: Weirs the Beef is in the former Weir's Beach General Store, just past Crazy Gringo. I just drove by there; they have a Grand Opening sign out. :)

mets3007 05-27-2010 02:28 PM

I had the place right and I go there only in the summer lol.

Lucky1 05-27-2010 05:20 PM

Got me to thinking or our Weirs outing with the kids in the drizzle last summer. I remember an ice cream place sort of in the area you all are talking about so bet it will be in that area. It did seem like it was in the middle of the street.

Let's all hope for a sunny summer so Weirs will thrive! Hope we had all of our rain already with the awful spring rains. Our land is eroded by the sand wanting to get to the house! I have to smile everytime a thread starts about some who want to add sand to their beaches. It comes right to this house!

Rattlesnake Guy 05-27-2010 10:07 PM

I concede you are correct.

garysanfran 06-05-2010 03:56 PM

Great Subs! Weirs the Beef...Fantastic!
 
Been twice. If I were asked where and when I have had a better Italian sub or pastrami sub?, I could not answer the question...Best I've had anywhere! My brother thought the chicken parm sub was the best he had ever had and my mother loved the chicken salad with all white meat, freshly roasted chicken. Weirs the Beef is fantastic! You can get there by boat. I'll be visiting this place often.

Irrigation Guy 06-05-2010 05:55 PM

Hate to say it as I support the opening of a new small business, but my super beef the other day was less than super. IMHO it should have had a lot more beef and be warm to be called a super beef($6.50). The roll was large though.

The mushroom burger special ordered at the same time was enjoyed but the french fry quantity was smallish at best.

I will give it one more try and hope they do well.

This picture was taken back on May 9th. Obviously they are open now.

I went to Walmart yesterday, On the way home to Meredith, I stopped at Weirs the beef, bought a 12" steak and cheese sub with onions and mushrooms to go.
It was the best steak and cheese I have had in NH.

Judging by RG's photo that is exactly where it is......... Funny you should say Superette, I never knew it was called that but NH Chronicle did a show tonight on the history of Bike Week/Weekend/Week through the ages and it showed the building with the Superette sign on it, lol.

trfour 06-11-2010 11:06 PM

Quit Stick'in Up For RG, RG...
 
I'm quoting Rattlesnake Guy again here.

Now, forgive me for having corrective vision at my age, 20/20. And yup, I just so happen to be in Dallas/Fort Worth at this time.

R Guy, If you can see Weirs the Beef from the Weirs Sign, I for one would love to see a picture of that! Now I'm talking line of sight over here, not an aerial photo. :D


Love
Terry

Actually it was called "George's Superette" and it was the most amazing butcher ever back in the day when you could get your hamburger fresh ground!

Is the Weirs so big that so many people are lost???

jr616 07-21-2010 11:50 AM

Stopped in for lunch a few weeks ago b/c you guys said it was good - it was not what I liked.
I like my RB to be more rare and have some flavor - this sandwich did not. I asked if they had onion rolls when I ordered (b/c that just makes a RB sandwich rock) they did not do onion rolls.
The FF were good - but not enough to make me go back.
Sorry gang I give it the thumbs down - for my liking at least.

sa meredith 07-21-2010 01:54 PM

Wasn't going to say anything...but I went a few weeks back, and have to say...I agree very much with your post.
I expected something along the lines of Harrison's RB in North Andover, the old Reilly's RB in Lawrence, or Kelly's in Revere...and it missed the mark. I, too, ask for an onion roll...no go. And, although the sandwich was good, it was certainly not on par with these other fine RB shops.
It is, however, very convenient for someone rolling out of Crazy Gringos after a few margs, looking for a quick bite. For that reason alone, I'll be going back.

Weirs The Beef is the best. Have been there many times and all was excellent! If you think Mass Food is so good, just keep going South. As for "rolling" out of Gringo's, you better have a DD.:laugh:

That's odd because I've been there about 1/2 dozen times and the 3 or 4 times I ordered the super beef it came on a toasted onion roll...... :confused:

Bigstan 08-02-2010 10:30 AM

Onion roll
 
An onion roll normally is part of any super beef (though not smaller sizes), though if you ask for one it should certainly be optional........

What is "normal"

Who made that rule of onion rolls? Normal is a subjective term.:coolsm:

True, I would call it normal if one is used to seeing the same thing wherever they go. Of course there are regional preferences, but in N. MA I have had to skip Super Beefs as I can't stand onion rolls (medium beefs only for me). But everywhere (by that I mean the 5 or 6 RB places we have by us) defaults to an onion roll on Super Beefs.

Not to say it's a law, but it seems pretty universal down here. I wouldn't say to call 911 if you don't get one, but RB and onion rolls seem to go hand in hand.

Now, if horseradish isn't offered as a condiment I would certainly call shenanigans.

jr616 08-03-2010 01:25 PM

Onion roll aside the beef just had very little flavor. I will give it a second chance b/c that is what i would normally do anyway but I am not optimistic.

If it happens to be while rolling out of the Gringo I will be sure to scale my tasting experience & expectations. :coolsm:

Always got an onion roll
 
I am very surprised to hear that some people have not gotten an onion roll with their roast beef sandwich. I have been there about 3, maybe 4 times and had the roast beef sandwich every time. It always came on an onion roll even without my asking. I actually commented the first time that I was surprised that they did not ask first if I wanted an onion roll. I loved it on onion roll and will always get it that way. I only got the roast beef the first time (usually a chicken salad eater) because someone I was with had already had one and said it was the best they ever had. I don't know if onion rolls are the norm with roast beef but I loved it. The owner, a big, muscley, kind of scary looking, althought handsome guy, was a powder puff! He was very sweet and very funny. I look forward to going back just to joke with him again. Don't let his muscles and tatoos scare you. He is very sweet!
