It’s always nice to hit up downtown Nashua during the week (and even the weekends) to enjoy a great meal (or two), but sometimes, some meals are worth a longer drive. Burton’s Grill in North Andover, Mass. (with additional locations in Boston and Hingham) is one such restaurant serving drive-worthy meals. Since I work full-time in Andover, I have paid my fair share of visits to Burton’s for lunch, dinner and/or drinks, and have never left disappointed. Their signature martinis are generous and should be drank with caution. My favorite is the Canteloupe Martini, made with hammer & sickle vodka and watermelon liqueur, orange juice and lime. When it comes to the food, I usually order the heart-unfriendly Philly Spring Rolls for an appetizer, which are basically steak and cheese in a fried wonton, served with onion rings and spicy ketchup. The complimentary rolls are always hot and fresh, and I could easily eat the side of whipped garlic butter with a spoon. I’ve tried just about everything there for lunch and dinner, but their Beet Salad (chopped beets layered with goat cheese, borretane onions, micro greens and candied walnuts) and Crab Cakes are must-tries.
