Suggestions for American food near Cambridge

Andre G. • November 17, 2014awesome new american cuisine!

The Feast • June 13, 2011Quirky locavore new American cuisine with a menu that changes daily—and best sampled in the oft-changing $38 prix-fixe.

Kevin K. • July 11, 2023Everything I’ve had here has been delicious. Some standouts include the scallop ceviche, rice and duck, and polenta with sirloin. Street parking can be a pain sometimes. Make a reservation

Gretchen M. • November 28, 2021Check out the heated 2-person greenhouses for a COVID-friendly date night. Great service and well-prepared dishes.

Yu-Mei • June 21, 2019Beef heart anticuchos, homemade burrata and whatever the specials are. Table seating is better than the cramped place settings at the bar at the open kitchen. Or head to the cozy bar alcove behind.

Jesse T. • October 1, 2016The smoked whitefish pizza is a delicious affront to traditional Italian food. With fried capers, mascarpone, dill, and an everything-bagel crust, it's easy to forget that you're eating a pizza.

Ali • June 3, 2023greatest chicken and waffles in the city

Nathan • November 24, 2021The charred chicken market bowl with mac & cheese is where it’s at.

Dee S. • September 16, 2017Amazing service. Huge portions. A really comfortable place to relax and enjoy your meal.

Debra S. • August 24, 2023One of our favorites! Great food and service.

Jill S. • October 28, 2014Most authentic and delicious Brazilian restaurant in the area! I don't love fish, but I love the muqueca. Delicious fried plantains, caipirinhas (cachaça, sugar and limes), fried yucca. Great service!

Matt O. • April 9, 2017The Grapefruit cocktail is the nectar of gods. Little Gem Salad, Manti and Cookie Dough great. Must return to try Raw bar / ceviche next time. This place is amazing.

Terrence B. • April 15, 2015Great spot for late night food and drinks. The menu changes often so don't get too attached to anything.

Boston.com • August 4, 2014Try the beautifully roasted cod in a refined chowder, seared scallops with pickled pumpkin, tender and flavorful tournedos of beef topped with taleggio ravioli.

Matthew S. • July 9, 2017Best bistro style plates, lobster surf and turf, banhi mi french dip, oysters and raw bar. Much needed quality in Kendall.

Jordi L. • October 6, 2016Good eggs benedict and very good pancakes. Typical American restaurant. Good place for a brunch.

Boston.com • December 13, 2012An extraordinarily experimental local brew pub. Short rib poutine and a pizza topped with local foraged mushrooms are different from the usual pub fare, and an outdoor patio offers coveted seats.

Taryn L. • February 19, 2018I have Celiac disease.This place had plenty of gluten free options for me! I had their cheese board with Glutino gluten free crackers. Then I had the Nubar burger on gluten free bun! So yummy!

Gilt City • January 24, 2011Nothing like its wild Dublin namesake, this Cambridge eatery succeeds in casual sophistication, baller cocktails, and inspired modern cuisine.

Nick G. • January 11, 2010Great milkshakes, probably best jukebox in Boston upstairs. Trivia Sundays, can't go wrong.

Heather S. • January 1, 2020Pimento cheese and pickled veggies are the perfect start!

Kevin H. • July 17, 2011Awesome beer selection (and great staff who knows all about it & can help novices like me) + great burgers. Oh, and fried pickles. Get fried pickles.

Brandon G. • June 8, 2013Mac and cheese + chorizo. That's all you need.

Josh W. • April 22, 2016The best fried cheese curds outside of Wisconsin. Spectacular burger, too.

Alexa S. • August 12, 2017This is my FAVORITE restaurant in harvard square. Everything is amazing. If you get there early you have a shot at snagging one of the burgers (not overrated). I like to get a bunch of plates to share

Dan R. • July 5, 2016Solid lunch spot near MIT. Call in your order so you don't have to wait on line. Roast beef sandwich is an excellent pick. The TCHO chocolate chip cookie is the best cookie in Cambridge.

Rob T. • May 31, 2011Order iced coffee, youll get iced espresso. Add cream and its a lot better and cheaper than a starbucks iced latte

Bill W. • January 28, 2012DREAM DATE: One of the few Boston / Cambridge bar / restaurants with a REAL fireplace, 50 cent oyster happy hour, cozy, Shaker feel. Bartender Dominic rec Old Chub, Scotch Imperial Ale dark but sweet

Dan R. • July 4, 2016Best beer bar in Cambridge. Amazing selection and all that, but really the reason to come here is that the food is excellent. Perfect truffle fries and also get the chicken lollipops.
