Black & Orange Bar and Grill in Woburn opened not that long ago and replaced a very mediocre Indian restaurant. I have been here before on a Tuesday, only to find out that Taco Tuesday has gone the way of the dodo.
They are located on Main Street with free on-street parking, and there is also the new communal lot across the street.
The inside is nice and bright with good quality furniture.
Mondays still have the half-priced burgers deal. Cheese Burgers "Half pound, hand packed served on a brioche roll with fries and coleslaw". Here is the DOUBLE CLASSIC (16). "Two, eight ounce hand-formed patties, cheese". From the five choices of cheese, I picked the jalapeno-jack. The burgers were ordered medium rare, and that's how they arrived. This is a rarity and seldom happens to me. The burgers were also a true half-pound. I swapped the tomato slice for onions. The slaw was excellent, crunchy and with just the right amount of dressing. The thin fries were also cooked perfectly. For once, I have nothing to complain about. Linen napkins and good quality cutlery. And all this for $8 plus a tip on the original amount. The suggested tip is also calculated pre-tax as it should be, The service was friendly.
I asked the waitress what cut of beef they used in their Reuben, and her response was "Corned beef". She then checked with the kitchen, and their response was "Red". Luckily the owner was at a nearby table, and his response was "Red Brisket". He then brought out a sample of their Corned Beef Hash that was excellent and seasoned and made with the brisket. The corned beef hash is available as a side for breakfast. A corned beef burger, sandwich and hot dog at lunch. I'll be back for the corned beef burger next Monday.

My understanding is that “Red” brisket is cured with nitrites, where as grey is not. Grey is more New England traditional. I guess people generally find grey meat less appealing.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for the red myself.
