WuBurger Woburn

WuBurger in Woburn took over the space where Mr. Charlie resided for a short time. It's owned by Deepak Diwan and Kal Gullapalli who also owns Lisa's Pizzeria up the street. That explains the flyer I saw at Lisa's last time I was there. The owners are already planning an expansion to Inman Square in Cambridge.

There is free parking outside and at lunch today there was ample parking available.

The interior is funky and reminiscent of a 50's diner. There is a big ugly soda fountain in the middle. The place was clean and the heat was on, but it wasn't too busy.

You order up front and the pick up the food in the window when your name is called.

The WuBurger ($5) is a 3.1 oz patty that comes with American, Lettuce, Tomato and WuSauce. No option on how the burger is cooked but mine was not overcooked and come out with a hint of pink in the middle. Two option of buns, Martin's Potato or Sesame roll, and I went for the Sesame. It was nice and fresh as was the tomato and lettuce. The WuSauce is basically mayo and onions. The Fries ($3) was nice but could have had a bit more color on them. The burger was small but for another $2, I could have had a double and that's probably the way to go. There is a big selection of complimentary toppings available and they also have regular toppings ($0.50) and premium toppings ($1). The premium includes toppings like bacon and fried egg. I was actually planning on having the onion rings as my side, but they have been dropped from the menu.

Their mission statement and I think it's nice that they use locally sourced items when available including Richardson Ice cream. This was not a media event but paid for by me.
