Billerica, MA: A Few Food Spots Worth Trying
Fresh-pressed juice, a seasonal tasting menu, a four-room craft beverage hall, and a few other stops from a run of meals in and around Billerica.
Billerica's been growing fast, more restaurants, more companies moving in. Here's what's actually worth stopping for, most of it a short drive over toward the Burlington Mall corridor.
Pressed Cafe
- Order: fresh-pressed guava juice with vegetables mixed in
- Also get: the egg, bagel, and cheese, the bagels are genuinely fresh
- Good for: breakfast or lunch with coworkers
- Note: technically just over the Billerica line in Chelmsford, close enough that it counts
Seasons 52
- Order: black bean Bolognese, vegetarian
- Also good: garlic pesto chicken · the Oreo mini dessert
- Good for: a nicer dinner, book ahead or go early, it fills up fast
- Note: the menu changes every season, so don't expect the same dish twice
Common Craft
- What it is: four themed rooms under one roof, beer, sour beer, speakeasy cocktails, and wine, joined by a shared great hall
- Good for: hanging out and drinking, not a meal (we didn't eat here)
- Note: dog-friendly patio with cornhole
Fiorella's Cucina
- Order: mushroom pasta with fresh mozzarella, vegetarian
- Also get: the eggplant appetizer · sparkling passion fruit raspberry, non-alcoholic · chocolate cake with vanilla gelato
- Good for: a date night, the interior alone makes it worth the trip
Yard House
- Order: garlic noodles, swapped in shrimp, no issue
- Also get: the non-alcoholic sparkling cucumber-lime
- Good for: a quick dinner right next to the mall
Seasons 52, Common Craft, Fiorella's Cucina, and Yard House are all within a few minutes of each other at Burlington Mall, that's what the map above is centered on. Pressed Cafe is the outlier, over in Chelmsford, so treat it as its own short drive rather than a walk from the rest. Will keep adding as we find more spots closer to Billerica itself.
