“not in providence proper” is a massive understatement when referring to the north shore lmao. It’s not considered to be in boston proper! A cool hour and a half from here.

Right. That’s where I grew up. Now that I live here, the closest thing of similar quality that I’ve found is The Beef Barn in North Smithfield. https://www.thebeefbarn.com/

I mean, it depends on what you mean by “a roast beef sandwich”. It’s not a beef on weck, or a chicago hot beef, but if you’re just looking for a pile of rare-ish roast beef with some horseradish and cheese, Miller’s is more than solid.

Shores supermarket actually makes some good sandwiches and the roast beef is really good.

I tried millers and it was ok, tender but really lacking in flavor imo.

It was under seasoned imo when i tried them, but very tender.

I haven't seen this commented yet, the roast beef sandwich from Pawtucket house of pizza is easily the best roast beef sandwich I've ever had. They also stuff it with like a whole pound of roast beef lmfao

Ricottis Roast Beef special. I always go to the Bristol location, but for me they make best roast beef sub. Also saw Millers in E.P. mentioned. Good stuff as well. And fwiw where did you get the disappointing sandwich? Have had some awful stuff from Walt's in Pawtucket. Edit: also Quality Fruitland deli in Seekonk. Had a killer roast beef last time I went. Made me smile it was that good.

All those options sound intriguing — but the sandwich I'm looking for is peak flavor & peak simplicity: (med) rare road beef, kaiser roll, mayo, tomato, maybe shredded lettuce, maybe swiss cheese. It almost sounds boring, I know, but there’s roast beef — and then there’s Roast Beef. I'm looking for the sandwich that becomes your new standard.

Millers is one of the ones I’ve tried, and it was a little underwhelming.

Agreed. I grew up in EP so I’d always have either Miller’s or Waltz. I just moved to NP and was recently introduced to Beef Barn and I can’t believe what I was missing out on. Miller’s and Waltz are both great but Beef Barn is next level and also like half the price
