Burlington Mall

Great mall close to my work. This mall does need more parking or they need to build a parking garage. The mall is clean. There’s a lot of security. It’s right off 128 which is great!!!

Lots of designer stores to shop at here. Big name department stores. Easy to follow maps. Parking was a challenge on the wknd but we found spots near the Sears dept. store. Easy access from I-​95. There is a huge food court area.

Big, clean mall, relatively safe from the riff-​raff, and a decent dining selection. Parking sucks, doesn’t matter what day you go. If you can get your shopping done in early to mid afternoon you’re better off. The selection of stores has been watered down some over the last decade. How many women’s shoe stores do we need at the mall? It’s nice that they have a Tourneau, Pen Shop, Newbury Comics, and Rain Forest Café, but that is about all that makes this mall different from any other. The food court is ok, but three of the restaurants all serve the same food… the Chinese, Thai and Cajun joints all share the same menu options. They have a Cheesecake Factory, but if you go during peak dinner hours you will have at least a two hour wait for a table and the little buzzers they give you that vibrate and light up when your table is ready only work within the vicinity of the restaurant so you can’t go browsing the mall while waiting.

170 stores and restaurants were part of the clean, modern and bright Burlington mall:
— from «Bobby Flay’s Burger Palace» and «Regina» to «Legal sea foods».
The restaurant «Clover» was also a short drive from the upscale, safe and pristine indoor Burlington mall. The great food options made this safe mall my favorite one in the west suburb of Boston.
— Nordstrom, Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Burberry, Sears, J. Crew, Victoria’s secret, etc. A vast array of store choices at different price points.
A lot of comfortable seating areas were available to charge your electronics for free throughout the mall.
Complementary wifi, easy to park on the shopping center parking lot, etc.

Three stars because this mall used to be one of the best. I realize that in order to get more business you have to constantly «update» and get rid of the «outdated»…but if some of you remember how the Burlington Mall used to look, you remember there were iconic attractions which made the Burlington Mall, unique. I understand that since the market crashed, Lord and Taylor, Bakers, PacSun, among thousands of other stores are no more… but the blue/​turquoise columns and overall display have been replaced with hospital crap brown as the dominant color. The roofs and turquoise «awnings» so to speak outside of Macy’s are what’s left.
Now, a lot of the stores there have rude ass employees who jump down your throat and give you the judgmental remarks if you don’t meet their ridiculous standards… assume you’re an idiot who never shops or can’t afford something. It’s almost like all the stores will bite you if you even go in to browse. Don’t even get me started on the Apple Store and Windows Store. The selection is crap and unmarked in clothing most stores. People are rude, and some of the good places there were, were booted. Funny thing is the Mall started to suck more since «Mall Cop»…
Look, I know things have to be updated, but it’s so loud, obnoxious and headache inducing to the point where I leave the mall without having purchased anything.
I mean do we really have to have a flatscreen within sight every two yards from each other?
Johnny Rockets is still the best, Cheesecake Factory is a joke, and Legal Seafoods is a parasite heaven.

Grew up in this area so i’ve been going to the burlington mall my whole life. it’s changed a lot over the years but it’s still good, though some stores are very upscale and pricey. as i’ve gotten older one store i’ve started going to is macy’s. i have a horrible experience at macy’s today. i went in to find a gift for my sister in law, and i saw a lady in the jewelry section and asked her a question of a price, she said she was helping someone else, and asked a co worker who was passing by where a certain person was, they said, i don’t know… .and kept walking. then the lady who i asked walked away. there was no «hang on a sec, i’ll come back and help you when i finish with the other customer» or «let me find someone to help you» nothing. everyone just walked away. wtf. let’s just say they lost a major sale — i was looking to guy an anne klein watch/​bracelet set. in general macy’s customer service is horrible, but this just topped it. nobody is ever around to help you, all the registers are empty. you don’t need 500 people folding towels.
other than macy’s the mall the pretty decent.

Security needs to update the protocols to keep up with technology.
Kid riding hoverboard, with no adult in sight, almost wiped out several people.
All it takes is one store manager or security guard to tell the kid «no»! Liability for the mall is huge if that kid hurts someone, or himself!
This kid was not associated in any way with the hoverboard shop in the mall. Just somehow got the idea a mall was a good place to play with toys!

Mall is huge .
No garage parking
Mall is less packed than south shore
Food court area is huge.

Received the worst customer service from Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister. Makes me miss the now closed Gilly Hicks in Natick Mall. Maybe Abercrombie’s and Hollister’s workers have lower standards now than they did years ago. All the workers do is talk amongst themselves when they ring you up. They don’t bother greeting you. Of course, you don’t need the workers to check the back to see what they have in stock, but I’m still unsatisfied with the way I was treated. Please raise your standards for your workers and not just hire assholes.

This is a decent mall in the Greater Boston area. The mall is close to my workplace in Woburn, and is easily assessable from I-​95. In terms of the shops, there are a number that I like (e.g. Banana Republic, Lululemon) but their men’s selection is not as good as the same stores at other area malls. This mall is interesting in that it has a range of stores at various price points, ranging from luxury brands (like Burberry) to more every-​day ones (like Limited). The mall is anchored by Sears, Nordstrom, Macy’s and Lord and Taylor. The food court has a wide variety of cuisines, with the Indian place being one of my favorites. There are also a number of sit down places like Legal Seafood.
Parking is tough so my recommendation is to go towards the back of the mall (where Macy’s and Lord and Taylor are) to park in the overflow lots if you do not want to deal with looking for a «close» space.

It is a nice and clean environment. Things for children include tables and chairs at the good court, and a play area.

Easy to navigate compared with, say, the Natick Mall or the Braintree Mall, or even the Prudential Mall. It’s just one hallway with a couple of off-​shoots. And get this, I remember when it was only ONE FLOOR.
So why only two three stars? All of my favorite stores from childhood are gone:
Eric Fuch Hobbies
Lauriat Books
Herman’s World of Sporting Goods
Friendly’s

Lovely, clean mall with an immense parking lot. Limited store options. Handful of restaurants.

I’d don’t quite frequent this mall as I don’t live in the North Shore area but for what it is, the Burlington Mall is a pretty solid shopping centre. The one thing I immediately notice upon shopping is its similarity to the South Shore Plaza in terms of the mall layout and atmosphere. There are differences however; generally the finds I see at Burlington are more exclusive and higher end. Not bad at all. The food court is a bit lacking though but the Rain Forest Café more than makes up for it! Concerning parking, it is a pain to look for and unlike the South Shore Plaza, where there is a garage and hundreds of spaces encircling the mall proper, this one gets filled up quickly and due to no roof, rainy and snowy days become a hassle to travel in when visiting the mall.
The one other thing I will add is that who ever is responsible for mall signage should add signs on I-​95 for the mall’s direct exit as more often than once, I missed the Rte 3 exit and took the next one as the signing for it does not clarify that it takes you to the mall (just where the highway is heading to). Exit 32 technically contains 2 exits and with one false misstep, you could miss the ramp that takes you to the mall road and instead be on Rte. 3. Be advised for this when heading there, for those who are not familiar with the area.

I grew up in the area, so I’ve been coming to the Burlington Mall for a very… Very… Long time. a lot of things have changed, but then, a lot of things have stayed the same. The Rainforest Café seems to have been around forever. My overall impression of the mall is that it strikes the right balance between hi end and accessible. Whereas most normal people might feel uncomfortable at a mall like the mall at Chestnut Hill or Copley, the Burlington Mall seems, to me anyway, to be more of an every man’s mall. The food court has some good options, including the only chick-​fil-​a in the area. Which is a great treat, if you like chicken sandwiches.
Holiday time at the Burlington Mall is a whole other ball game. Parking is basically impossible to find, it can turn what would have been a quick shopping trip into a very drawn out and frustrating task. The rest of the year however, it’s relatively easy to park and there are lots of retail options. Definitely recommended.

Reasonable selection of stores but there is not enough parking since they extended the mall (Nordstrom and Cheesecake Factory side) out onto the parking lot, reducing the amount of spaces significantly. On weekends and holidays, you can easily spend more time looking for a space then actually shopping. Also, why a mall of this size doesn’t offer garage or underground parking is beyond me.
I live much closer to Burlington, but prefer Natick Mall because it has more stores and you don’t have to walk for miles only to have to dig out and heat up your car.

Decent mall all the way around. The prices are steep but probably not compared to other malls. Good selection of stores, the food court is getting better. The parking is ok depending on the season — Christmas is crazy. The restaurant options are pretty good.

Convenient mall with all the key stores and some good food choices.
This was also where the first Mall Cop movie was filmed (even though they pretend it is in New Jersey in the movie). They took over the mall every night during filming. The big fight scene really was in the Victoria Secret store.
Besito, Legal Seafoods, and the Indian place in the food court are excellent.

Solid mall. Good stores.
Some tips:
Park near Sears if you get here later than noon. (it’s easy to find close parking in this section).
One of the best food courts (in terms of variety and quality) outside of Boston – Spikes and Pizzeria Reginas
Spend some time at a directory – there are not many in this mall.

Let’s start of this review by stating that this mall is famous… It was the mall that I watched every Friday night eh filming of Mall Cop starring Kevin James. It was cool to see the Christmas Holiday decorations out in the middle of the summer… :-)
The mall was a typical mall until Simon started to complete a major renovation with the announcement that Nordstrom was going to be added to the mall.
The Burlington Mall is a large, two story, upscale indoor shopping mall with approximately 170 shops and restaurants, including a large food court (capable of seating 775). The mall was built in 1968, it was expanded in the 1970s and 80s.
Burlington Mall is currently anchored by Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Sears, and Macy’s. Also with outside access are Cheesecake Factory (Macy’s Wing) and Legal Seafood on the backside between Sears and Lord and Taylor.
From 2006 to 2008, the mall underwent an expansion project that added a new wing (with approximately 20 new stores) on the site of the old Filene’s building with a new Nordstrom department store anchoring the wing. The new wing was partially opened in late 2007. Tenants in the new wing were generally upscale stores such as Michael Kors, BCBG, Juicy Couture, Burberry, Lacoste, Ruehl No.925, Martin + Osa and Zara. Since that time the mall has shuffled stores around to make it a more upscale venue. Gymboree in this mall is considered a higher end store and they get special collections that other Gymborees do not get so it makes going to this store more exclusive in some ways.
The arrival of Nordstrom made the other anchor stores start renovations of their own. Since that time, Macy’s and Lord and Taylor have redone their stores from the top to the bottom.
Parking around the holidays can be tough but this is a fantastic mall and the security guards do a decent job of keeping the high schools out of the hair of legitimate shoppers on Friday nights.
