Burlington Mall - Burlington, MA

Burlington Mall - 7.6



This might be the finest mall in the Boston metro area. There is really one reason for this:

Chik-Fil-A

Don't bother going on a Sunday - They're closed! You'll still be able to walk around the mall and eat from the other restaurants in the food court, but let's face it, it wouldn't be the same. If you eat fast food, and it's safe to assume that if you read this blog you do, Chik-Fil-A is an experience that you need to.....experience? Yeah something like that. The Burlington Mall is located at 75 Middlesex Turnpike in Burlington, MA about 20 minutes out of Boston where I-95 meets up with Route 3.


Location: When you're in a mall and in need of the facilities, head to the food court. Pretty logical! This should be pretty easy to find, located on the upper level.
Grade: 8 out of 10

Accessibility: Since you're in a mall, everything is accessible!
Grade: 10 out of 10

Number of Stalls: They have ten stalls (two handicapped) and a bunch of urinals. Even on a busy Saturday you should have no problem finding a seat.
Grade: 10 out of 10


Stall Quality: The stalls themselves were pretty decent. A bit more than you'd expect from the mall restroom. I'm guessing that they're new within the last 10 years or so.
Grade: 6 out of 10



Toiler Paper: Two rolls of two ply industrial. Locked up nice and tight. Just the way we like it!
Grade: 8 out of 10

Cleanliness: While the bathroom wasn't spotless, there were two mall employees there mopping and generally taking care of business. I'd bet more often than not it's pretty decent in here.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Scent: Over the time that this humble site has existed
Grade: 7 out of 10

Flush: The flush here was nothing to write home about. I think that as long as you don't make it work too hard, you should be all set.
Grade: 6 out of 10

Aesthetics: Again, for a mall bathroom, it didn't seem all that bad since it was reasonable new. What would you expect? Beer posters? No. This isn't a bar!
Grade: 6 out of 10

The Bottom Line: Mall bathrooms seem like a decent option. Chances are you'll find an open stall and hopefully one that isn't too messy. Access is certainly easy and you can hope there might be a Chik-Fil-A nearby. Just not on Sunday. Jesus!
