Review Redo: Harrison's Roast Beef, 80 Chickering Rd, North Andover, MA 01845

Kate and I met up with Laura and Tim (an original Beef Day 2012 contributor and a beef connoisseur in his own right)  this weekend to kick off our first review redo post. Our target Harrison's Roast Beef got great marks a while back (here) scoring an over all of 4. Let's see if they keep it up?

Bun: Once again this bun was too flat. This time it lacked the crisp edges it had going for it before. Score: 3

Beef: Beef was a little cold today, might not of been a fresh batch. Score: 3

Sauce: Sauce is still great, this time they were heavy with the mayo which prevented the spice from getting out of control  Score: 4

Overall: I think this was an off sandwich for this establishment, but not bad at all.  Score: 4

Notes: Overlooked in my first review but defiantly a nice touch, Harrison's slices all these sandwiches in half for you.



Tim's super cheese mayo extra sauce:

Bun: "Flat, no texture, but good onion and butter flavor" Score: 3

Beef: "A little overdone today. It also didn't fill the bun, all the beef was piled in the middle. Still tender but needs better presentation."  Score: 3

Sauce: "extra generous with the portion, strong but not over powering" Score: 5

Overall: "Cheese was negligible but sauce and overall flavor makes it worthwhile" Score: 4



Laura's super cheese mayo extra sauce:

Bun: "Chewy and spungey,"  Score: 3

Beef: "Tender nice flavor and the perfect amount" Score:4

Sauce: "Delightful, I really like the tang and spice"  Score: 4

Overall: "a real good one today!" Score: 4




Kate's super extra sauce:

Bun: "Didn't taste fresh, I actually ate some of the sandwich without the bun. Overall flavor was fine but not enough onions"  Score: 2

Beef: "Really tender, wish it was a little less shaved." Score: 4

Sauce: "Very Spicy!"  Score: 5

Overall: "Too bad the bun was so bad because the overall flavors were great, and the fries are awesome!"  Score: 4



Review Redo Outcome:
Harrison's is a great sandwich, just don't go looking for a killer bun or presentation. This place is all about the sauce.
