Revolution Hall Lexington

Revolution Hall in Lexington is part of the Craft Food Hall project that currently has two locations. The third location in Chelmsford is closed at the moment. I found the concept very intriguing when I first heard about it. Having done sous-vide since Anova did crowdfunding for their first sous vide device, I really like this way of cooking. No chance of overcooking anything.


They are located as far from Lexington center as you can get, but the good thing is that there is almost no food competition in the area. Plenty of parking and they have a good amount of outside seating.


The big bar in the middle and the three food options can be seen in the back. To the left are the Vessel section (vegetarian), the Sousviderie, and hidden by the beams are the Project X Pizza. I really like the open space concept. Get a card and scan the appropriate menu section and order online.


Get your drink card, linked to your CC, and after that, it's pour your own. Need more info? Just tap the screen and more detailed info pops up.


I started with the Caribbean Pork Tacos (2 Tacos). "White Corn Tortilla/ 12 Hour Sous Vide Pulled Pork/ Avocado Lime Slaw/ Mango Salsa/ Sweet Pineapple Fire Sauce/ Cotija Cheese/ Cilantro / Lime Wedge". The thin corn tortillas were nicely torched and really fresh. This was a tasty taco! I'll be happy to try some of their other taco offerings.


I also got the Chipotle Burger 8oz. "House dust infused / torched havarti/ chipotle aioli/ lettuce/ banana pepper / sweet chipotle seasoning / potato bun". Add South West Fries for $2, they are worth it. Excellently cooked and well seasoned. The burger was cooked at 135° and was tender and juicy. La Frieda beef is a high-quality brand. The toppings were good and the potato bun was super fresh and tasty. I normally leave the bun, but not here. The "house dust" is a cinnamon chipotle rub.


This is the advantage of sous-vide cooking. Perfectly medium all the way out to the edge with a light sear put on before serving.


The Sousviderie in action. At least part of it.
