If you've never been to North Reading, Massachusetts, basically it's divided into two parts: Route 28 and Route 62. Route 28 is comparable to most other parts of Massachusetts on a smaller scale: an urbanized/suburbanized line of strip malls. But Route 62 is another story entirely, it's a rural little town and there's only one real place to get any food that I saw: the Hornet's Nest almost directly across from the library.
Named after the nickname for sports teams at North Reading School, which is only a few thousand feet away, the Hornet's Nest has long been a local pizza/sandwich joint for students and townies alike apparently, and has seen a bit of a renovation since it burnt down a few years ago.
I came here and ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, and I was definitely pleased with what I received; the meat was tender and fresh, the Buffalo coating was both crispy and spicy, but not overpowering in its zest.
Add some shredded lettuce and blue cheese, and that's it. Nothing fancy, but nothing more is needed. This sandwich hit the spot, and I'd be happy to go there again if I was somewhere in the area.
