“It's a nice mall. Very modern. There's stuff for everyone, of all ages. Most things are pretty expensive but there's some stores that aren't as bad. However, it's usually really crowded. I wanted to sit down on a couch thing, and there was no room at all. The rest of the mall isn't much better. I've had to dodge people ti avoid crashing multiple times. It gets a 4 from me because there's a lot of cool stores.”
“3rd Ave in Burlington is a great place.. It has something for everyone whether it be shopping or going out to dinner or going somewhere to play pool or bowling with friends... I find that it is unique to this area and an amazing place for everyone/anyone!”
“I love this mall, we go at least once a week. Grassfields is kinda expensive, but really good. I usually eat there once a year. But the plaza has USPS full serve Post Office, as well as FedEx, The Paper Store (always great finds) Dunkies ( my go to) as well as BK( that location treats us well), TJ Maxx (they change there products pretty regularly), a dry cleaner, dentist, and a liquor store ( I don't drink..sorry- but my inlaws like it, well enough). Oh yeah a hairdresser, my mother in law frequents, Verizon, AAA with a full service license service if you HAVE Triple A, was worth it for me!, and a small bank. Think I got them all.. lol.”
“Wayside is a good all purpose outdoor mall. They have West Elm Furniture, LL Bean, a Carter's, a salon/spa, 3 restaurants, and a Starbucks without a drive thru.”
“Received excellent customer service from Jose during a humid hot summer day. He was the only person at the register up front who was patient, kind and dealt with the long line of customers on the eve of Independence Day week.
Will definitely be back as I was able to find some great deals on items!”
“Very new and renovated. I'm not sure if the old mall layout was better or this outside walk around thing. Still lots of new restaurants and some stores here.”
“It's a great experience shopping at the market basket, this location had a few options my own local market basket did not. I was also surprised at the prices, they were great compared to other grocery stores in the area, and even in comparison to my local area (NH) .”
“Very well upkept shopping plaza we frequent to. Market Basket has great grocery prices. Old Navy store is our favorite. Bike shop has devoted staff and great choice of gear, plus repair and tune up service.”
“Anchored by a nice Whole Foods and Staples, there is a good variety of shops here. There is the Trek bike shop, which is nice and a rock climbing gym. Also TJ Max always has good deals on clothes and home goods. At the end there is a nice liquor store and the other end features a popup beer garden in the summer. And the movie theater has great seats and the latest shows on a dozen screens.”
“In this plaza there are three eating establishments: Nana 7 a hibachi / Asian cuisine, a Mooyah burgers, Chipotle. Market Basket, Lincoln Liquors, a Credit union. The Paper store which sells cards and gift items including Alex& Annie, Vera Bradley and clothing items. JoAnn Fabric/ craft, Massage Envy. A Circle health walk in clinic .

“You know, I'm at that age where I can't afford cheap furniture anymore. When my elderly parents visit I have to have comfortable stuff. I have back problems so I need a couch that I won't get stuck in. My son is more than 10 years old so I'm not as worried about grape juice or vomit ruining things. So I buy key pieces of furniture from this place when I can. The sales people are enormously friendly and attentive, more than one has offered to come to our house to measure spaces for us - and even to ensure a piece of furniture will fit through the front door. That's the kind of service I need at this time in my life. Plus, there are a lot of good looking pieces to choose from.”
“Life long visitor of this plaza...they always keep it full of good stores. Ample parking, a solid grocery store and dry cleaner and a good party store as well as a TJ Maxx.”
“Small Marketbasket has best employees.
They closed this location. I miss the smaller store. The nice employees went to the basket in South Billerica and that store is expanding to where Bob's used to be.
I miss the smaller store. The other Market basket is a nightmare. The parking lot construction took forever and is poorly designed. I hit a curb the other day there because there isn't enough room in the lanes to have two cats pass at once. The parking spots redesigned by pet supply plus list a lot of spots. Now there is ONE handicapped spot facing sideways hogging up four spots?”
“Convenient location and has an Ocean State Job Lot as well as Shaw's so worth the visit. The Ocean State JL just expanded and it's one of the best. Not crazy about the lay out of the store but it's ok”
“They have a Market Basket, a TJ Maxx/HomeGoods and a DSW but they have added popular resturants to the site that draw people into the area from noon until 9 pm. There is a Panera, a Salad Works, Surf Restaurant, Tavern in the Square and Shake Shack. There is an apartment complex owned by Avalon on site. Some of the units may be affordable housing.”
“I visited this Walmart on a Saturday therefore, it was quite busy with everybody running errands and picking up the things that they needed. Once my husband and I were done shopping we noticed that the self checkout line was super long, it literally overpowered the lines that had cashiers helping you out. However we still needed to get in the cashiers line because we had more items than normal for self checkout. This Walmart had the hustle and bustle going on and we were definitely ready to get out. Overall it was a decent shopping experience in Walmart usually has the best prices!”
“This mall is tight and the parking in front of stores is tight. However, there is a side parking lot that's easier to access from Lexington St. Lots of restaurants and lots of traffic. Chipotle, Starbucks, Cookie Monstah, Clover, FedEx and a furniture store. Plus Elizabeth Grady spa.”
“This is a small mall in Waltham City, MA. There is a fast food restaurant, laundromat, photo studio, nail care salon and much more. Visit you’ll like it. Not mention there’s an Ocean Job Lot store and a Shaw’s store right across the street from here.”
“The coffee shop on site has out door seating. I didnt get to order there because they closed at 5pm Sunday, 20 minutes before we arrived.Very clean and new building. Looks to be an extension of the Burlington mall only a couple hundred feet from this little "village."”
“My family wanted to go thrifting at Savers after we donated some goods at the community center. Fun to browse through the store and they both found things that they liked and about a dozen items were purchased. Also got a 20% off coupon to use in the store for giving donations... nice deal.”
“The Speedway is a great assortment of small businesses in a unique historic building. Notch Brewing is the primary reason I go and love the beer garden in the courtyard of the Speedway. I enjoy the beer garden because you can’t see any cars and it’s not your typical parking lot beer garden. There are several small businesses (food, drinks & a hair salon) in the courtyard and the Speedway often hosts events that help activate the space (Brighton Bazaar, visit punch cards, local bands, the North Horde, beer fests through Notch brewing, etc). Highly recommend visiting!”
“Wayland Town Center is a beautiful shopping center located at Route 20 and Andrew Avenue. There are many shops and restaurants and even a Stop and Shop located in this large shopping area. It is laid out like a little town and many of the shops resemble townhomes. It feels quaint.”
“I am a widow of a veteran and I shop At Hanscon Air Base Both in the exchange and in the commissary, actually, I worked in the commissary for a while as a bagger groceries I wish the military would expand what they have available for Vetrans and Veterans, widows I do appreciate the cost of things like some meat and other things in the lack of having to pay state tax when you buy things thank you all military personnel for your service and protection of our country”
“A large property so be prepared for a walk, there's a lot of good stores around my only complaint is that it's difficult to get across the street to the Trader Joe's and CVS.”
“A shopping center located in an accessible location with a nice pedestrian area. It's also located next to Depot Square, the Minuteman Bike Road, and of course the Battle Green. I previously wrote about this place only having a single U-shaped bike rack, but it seems as though they've added more bike parking capacity since I last was there.”
“Bedford Marketplace is in a super convenient spot—just a short drive from home, which makes quick errands or grabbing dinner really easy. It’s got all the right places: Whole Foods, Starbucks, a few solid restaurants, and even some local gems. Parking’s usually easy, and the area feels clean and safe. It’s not huge, but it has everything I need without having to go far. Great spot for a quick stop or even a chill afternoon.”
