The Restaurant Raises the BAR

A new dining experience at an old favorite.

The BAR @ The Restaurant You’ve never seen The Restaurant quite like this before. Woburn’s favorite deli-style restaurant has kicked things up a notch.

B.Good Wants To Be Good To Your Body

New restaurant promises to serve "real food fast."

The newest eatery on Mall Road in Burlington is B.Good. This local burger joint chain serves up "real.food.fast" and is dedicated to providing their patrons with fresh food from local farmers and that's processed on site. All the meat for the burgers is ground at the location and doesn't come frozen in pre-formed patties. The sign out front tells you who grinds the meat that day and where the meat comes from. B.Good is the brainchild of friends Anthony and Jon who both wondered why there weren't more restaurants that had healthier fast food options in the area. After much planning, they opened their first location in Boston in 2003 and new locations, including the one in Burlington, have been added on since.   What can you expect at B.Good…

A Chicken Pot Pie with Seven Decades of History

Harrows in neighboring Reading, where comfort food is a family business.

If dinner time has rolled around and—despite your best intentions to have crafted a hearty, family size dinner for your whole brood—there is nary a dish prepared, head over to Harrows in Reading where ready-to-heat or ready-to-eat chicken pot pies await. Founded back in ’38 and still owned and operated by a family, Harrows cooks each and every chicken overnight and whips up their signature gravy from scratch each day. This temple to comfort food hasn’t changed location or menu in all of its seven decades of existence. Harrows cooks  ‘basic comfort food that has stood the test of time’ says owner Wally. The menu is short and sweet—the only real difference in the pies being the inclusion of veggies and the size of the pan. Harrows serves up …

Upscale Italian Food in Downtown Woburn

Visit TreMonte Restaurant for an Italian dining experience.

TreMonte, an Italian restaurant in Woburn Center, is a popular hot spot for foodies and Woburnites alike who enjoy their Italian cuisine a little more upscale. Run by chef Anthony Contarino, the restaurant has been a staple in Woburn for eight years. Chef Contarino trained as a French chef at Johnson & Wales but was inspired by his Grandma’s Italian home cooked food. TreMonte serves up Italian classics that we are all familiar with while also peppering the menu with fancier fare inspired by the regions of Florence, Naples and Tuscany. On weekend evenings the place gets really busy, so call ahead for a reservation. Keep an eye out for our own Mayor Scott Galvin who we saw dining at TreMonte!

TreMonte is one of my and my wife's favorite restaurants anywhere! I like to get a table in the middle of the dining area, where I can watch the cooks in the kitchen. The cooks work very hard - but it is organized, intense activity that is well coordinated. It's a pleasure to watch a kitchen that is working so well. My favorite entree is the pork chops with potatoes and peppers. It's a generous …   more ›
