Tracy D'Alessandro: Double cheeseburger and shoestring fries to die for! Classic and delicious! A Harvard Square staple!
Simon & Schuster: Steve Seabury, author of Mosh Potatoes heavy metal cookbook, recommends the Double Mega Angus Cheese Burger and the Double Bacon Blue Cheese Burger. Oh yeah, did he mention they have beer fries? Read more.
Joe Diaz: Get a variation of the bacon double cheeseburger with the chorizo mac & cheese "bun." Top the whole thing off with guacamole for a dollar extra, and you'll be living life right.

Edward Jensen: Avoid the hamburgers and cheeseburgers.
Kevin H: Awesome beer selection (and great staff who knows all about it & can help novices like me) + great burgers. Oh, and fried pickles. Get fried pickles.
Rob Sheppard: If you're not sure what to go for, go with the 'Staff Pick'. Four 5oz beer samplers. Tasty!
Mìchæl ßowen: Excellent food, excellent prices, excellent service. 10/10! Try the BBQ steak and steak and cheese.
Nick Mudry: Great spot for just about anything. Burgers, grinders, whatever! Also super friendly staff!
Robyn Bahr: Best cajun fries in the city. The man behind the counter gave me a free sample of the cheese fries when I said how good they smelled! Great service - just won my life long loyalty.
Joseph Schwendt: Probably the best Blue Burger I've ever had...seriously!
Chadwick K: Enjoy the space, the beer, and the amazing "periodic table" of food to order from...the fried potatoes are to die for! Cooked in a cast iron skillet to perfection!
Rick Webb: This place used to actually serve all it's drinks in beakers, etc. But people kept stealing them. This is why we can't have nce things.

Dan Roberts: My favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The small plates are the best. Get the swordfish pastrami with mustard ice cream. The potato bread is addicting, we usually get upwards of three rounds ...
Eater: The single most essential Boston restaurant of the moment, in that here chef-owner Will Gilson is more thoroughly tackling a fresh perspective on New England cuisine than anywhere else in the world.
