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

Nice wise crack. Obviously your place. The mushroom burger special said with fries. It should have said with 10 fries I guess.

No comment on the less than super size for a super beef? or the cold roast beef which is suprising since as you say you cook them daily. Did it cool off already by lunchtime?

And it's owners like you that drive a stake into the heart of your restaurant.

I hope you are better at cooking than you are at customer appreciation, but based on your 'tude I'll never find out.

Open mouth, insert foot ...

Sunday hours
 
I went to the Weirs last Sunday hoping to try one of the roast beef sandwhiches. Alas, it was closed at 6pm. The sign in the window with the hours said Sunday 11 to close. Apparently they close whenever they want on Sunday. All the other restaurants were still open and there was still a pretty good crowd there. I guess they don't need the business that badly.

Sorry...I can't stay off this one...
Tommy...I find your posts to be rude and offensive. I mean, asking someone who ordered a small fry if they need a loan? Are you serious???!!!
People come on this forum to write about their experiences at your place, myself included, and you can't accept the fact that not everyone loves it, so you fire away with sarcasm? Very childish, to be sure.
Telling someone to go back to Micky Dees? Really???
Sorry...but although you have pretty good sandwiches, they do not measure up to the standard of places like Kelley's or Harrison's.
As for someone ruining the forum...for you, I suggest a quick crash course in the use of proper grammer, and punctuation before posting again. Also, perhaps a new keyboard with a functioning CAPS button, so you can properly type "I", not "i".
For me... I have spent my last dollar at WTB. I'm sure this is the case for many others.

gtagrip 08-20-2010 11:11 AM

I've been no angel on this forum at times, but to post something like that as a business owner, yikes!

VtSteve 08-20-2010 11:22 AM

I concur. Buy an ad on the forum and leave well enough alone.

BTW, I've never thought there was so much involved in roast beef sandwiches. I don't believe I've ever had one with an onion roll.

Either way, good food is good food, and I used to eat Deli in NYC. So the personality of the chef or owner never entered my mind when ordering :laugh:

me thinks this might be a troll with an agenda.
If not he might be out of business real soon.

TiltonBB 08-20-2010 05:26 PM

Good sandwich!
 
I have eaten at Weirs the Beef several times. I usually get the super beef and the onion rolls make them even better. The food is great and the owner is a nice guy too. He is sarcastic and quick witted but I enjoy the banter.

If you are very sensitive you might take offense, but you shouldn't. He is a very well known "local" who actually did stone work on the statue that is beside the Weirs Channel. He also did the stone work on the lighthouse located in the miniature golf course beside the channel. He has been in this area for a very long time. He is a highly regarded member of the Weirs Beach community and remember, when all of the tourists are gone this is a very small community!

All of the local business owners know him well and enjoy his sense of humor. He is quite a character!

tommy mack 08-20-2010 08:03 PM

u guys r easy
 
i knew i could get yous guys going...your easy...........do u want fries with that?

Sorry but the people he is "joking" with are locals too.

pondguy 08-21-2010 07:30 AM

I always go back for the best chicken supreme in the state. Keep up the great work Tommy. Could i get half fries and half onion rings.........please:liplick:

pondguy 08-21-2010 07:37 AM

my 3 cents

He's a lot funnier than most on the restaurant threads. No more contentious forums on the site. Some of you more serious eaters should go over to the boating forum and cool off a bit :laugh:

Just reading this thread made me go out for a RB sandwich yesterday in Montpelier at the Co-Op. Beautiful, rare roast beef (which I like cold), on oat nut bread with mayo and lettuce. That's the way I like it. It was great.

I'll definitely have to visit Tommy and order a sandwich there, and yes, I'll try the silly onion roll :eek: Maybe I'll be a convert. I don't eat fires anymore, prefer chips. I'll be sure to brush my tooth before I go :laugh:

WeirsBeachBoater 08-21-2010 08:01 PM

I have to jump in on this one..
 
I have known Tom for 15+yrs. I have been a fan of his RB sandwiches for as long. His humor probably doesn't translate well on the internet forum, But to know him is to love him. You have to be around him in person, straight shooter, and everyone around him is laughing and smiling. Give Weirs the Beef a shot, you will be back for seconds!

VtSteve 08-21-2010 09:28 PM

Why is it, that I seem to understand Tommy's humor?








:D

I have always been curious about those signs that some places post. Open Sunday 11 to close. Really? You are open until you close? ;)

A bit of advice for the restaurant (and other places) owners out there. Pick your hours, and go with it. People like consistency. If you say you will be open until 8PM, stay open until that time. Saying that you are staying open until you close is like me saying that I am going to stay awake until I fall asleep.

MaidenCove07 08-22-2010 02:01 PM

It's not just Roast Beef either
 
The Steak and Cheese is AWESOME too.
Dunno what they season the meat with, but WOW, the flavor is something special. I've had it as is and one with peppers, onions and mushrooms and can't choose a favorite. Now when I go, I flip a coin for RB or S&C, then again for with or w/o veggies.
The Sunday random closing time is my only gripe cuz by the time we get off the water and get cleaned up, we've been too late to catch them open.

(Always had my RB on an onion roll, by the way. Maybe they were sold out of them when the others went?)

Weirs the Beef....
 
:liplick:Because of all the controversy surrounding Weirs the Beef, the wife and I decided to give it a try. We both got RB sandwiches and had no complaints whatsoever. We even got to meet the aformentioned tuff guy Tommy Mack. He's really not that tuff, he couldn't twist the cap off Nancy's Pepsi. All joking aside, the food, cleanliness and crew were right on. They will be our Bill & Bob fix while here for the summer.

dragonfly03246 09-18-2010 06:27 PM

Closed on a Saturday night. Supposedly they closed at 3PM and both the phone numbers they have on the internet are disconnected. :confused:

karen47 09-19-2010 11:33 AM

weirs the beef
 
my wife and I were just down at weirs the beef and got our rb sandwiches, as always very good. there phones must have not been working because of the fire. they are very much open

tommy mack 09-21-2010 01:49 PM

WEIRS THE BEEF is open daily 11 to 3.....phone is 366-2227 thru the end of oct........then the beef man will do his masonry business til his beef freezes then off to Fla for the winter......reopen april.....

Joe Kerr 09-22-2010 09:55 PM

Weirs the Beef. Not bad but not the best either.
 
I tried Weirs the Beef a few times this summer. I found it to be okay but not up in the top 5 of the best roast beef sandwiches I've ever had.

There is no comparison to Kelley's of Revere Beach fame in my opinion.

I went back for more so I liked it but I wish it was better.

Kelley's has a nice toasted bun for it's RB with no added sauce, it is moist without oozing juices down my hand or getting the bun all soggy like the Weirs the Beef RB. I couldn't tell if WTB bun was even toasted it was so soggy.

The steak and cheese subs were also just OK. Mine included onions but some of the fried onion pieces were onion peel and not edible. I tried some of their horseradish sauce on one of my sandwiches and it was not very good IMO.

I also noted in August that they sometimes closed earlier than their posted hours. Not just a few minutes early but a few hours early and not just one time.

I'm being critical as this is a review. I will go back again but not as often as I would if it were Kelley's.

weim2 09-26-2010 06:27 AM

Tommy's the BEST
 
If you Mass people think the food there is so great well just stay there. There is no comparison. Weirs Beach is absolutly beautiful, clean and safe and there is no place where you can get better service or RB:liplick: than with Tommy. We love him here and are so very happy Weirs The Beef is back.

Where about in Dallas/Fort Worth? I am going to visit my brother in Arlington in 3 weeks to see my new Grand Niece.

The Weirs Blvd. is so familiar and the buildings do not change, sometimes the names change. Maybe this will help, as you are driving down the blvd, when you have to jog a little to the left, I believe that is where they are saying this is.

I read his post and actually laughed, I saw the humor in it. He was not being mean but funny. I guess laughter has lost its place at times.

My wife and I were up over the weekend. We won't be back until early November. We had our "fix" of Weirs the Beef rb sandwiches before heading home. Wonderful as usual. I do hope they return next year.

I'm always amused when I see someone write that Weirs the Beef isn't as good as Kelley's in Revere. I love Kelley's. They have a delicious rb sandwich. But guess what? Their not in Weirs Beach. Weirs the Beef puts out a really delicious rb sandwich. That's what I use to measure whether I go back to an establishment or not.

So, Tommy, enjoy your winter in Florida. I look forward to seeing you next year!

weim2 09-27-2010 11:45 AM
