Tater Tots and Beer - What More Do You Need? – Cambridge Common is one of my go-to places among friends and family. It's a comfortable spot, and one where you can linger without feeling pressured. I often go late at night just for an order or two of tater tots and a few beers from their excellent drink list, though sometimes I stray from the tots to get what I think are some of the best boneless buffalo wings in the Boston area. One warning: If you order food at the bar, it can sometimes be a painfully long wait.
A Crash at Cambridge Common – We are frequent diners at Cambridge Common and usually love it. Our last visit was a disaster. Our server was both server and bartender and it showed. She appeared distracted and not exactly sure what to do. Items were missing from our order, drink glasses were left empty for most of the meal and no one bothered to ask how anyhing was. We waited for the missing items to come and they never did. We waited for someone to ask how the food was and they didn't. When she noticed that I only ate 1/3 of... read more
My favorite spot in Cambridge for a beer, burger or brunch – This cozy pub with a music lounge downstairs has a great selection of omelets and other brunch fare during the day, and burgers and other American classics for lunch and dinner. Their beer menu is also quite extensive. I love the burgers here, so juicy and thick! Definitely as good as any burger or pub spot in the Harvard Square area.
Avoid daytime – I went to the Cambridge Common for lunch with my mother who was in town visiting. I usually go at night so it was my first day experience (and last). We got sat next to a table of screaming babies and their bitchy mothers when the rest of the place was empty. We had to ask to be moved after 5 minutes of no service. We moved right by the window, waited abother 7 minutes for a server to come by. She placed the water on the table and said ok what would you like. We hadn't even been asked for drinks, and she wasn... read more
Amazing Beer Selection – This place is a gold mine! I moved to the Cambridge over the summer and randomly walked in, one afternoon - I was blown away with the beer selection. They have 24 on tap with a whole slew that rotate, often. The bartender was extremely friendly and shared with me their vision for supporting, mostly, craft beers from the US, which I thought was cool. The food was also very tasty. A friend and I shared Spicy Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Fried Pickles (beer battered), and Sliders (mini hamburgers) with Swee... read more
Worst Brunch EVER! – Though we were seated promptly, we should have taken it as an omen that there was nobody else in the restaurant. The food was bad, the service was bad, the bloody mary was bad, the brunch was bad. There are many other options in the Camberville area--go somewhere else!
Great if you want comfortable mediocrity – I've been to Cambridge Common reluctantly several times with friends. This place is great if you're looking for unhealthy, greasy comfort food options, a great beer selection, and unimpressive staff. If you want friendly and knowledgeable service, high quality meals and menu options that go beyond sandwiches, salads, chowders, and fries, this is not the place. The ambiance is dark, casual, and crowded. And if you want something other than beer, you're not in luck, because the drinks... read more
Harvard-area hangout serves above-average bar food in a relaxed environment. – The Scene In the shadow of Harvard Law School, this dimly lit restaurant is favored by students and young professionals. The bar offers more than two dozen draft beers, all at reasonable prices, plus a standard wine list. Many patrons come for a pre- or post-show drink, as the building also houses the Lizard Lounge music club. The Food Bar snacks and comfort foods dominate the menu, most in portions large enough for two. Among an extensive selecti... read more
Live for the Pumpkin Ale – A decent, dependable place that feeds a lot of HLS and other students. The food is pretty good, though heavy. A while back they changed the mashed potato recipe... bad idea...I loved the old one! The sweet potato fries are tasty and in the fall the pumpkin ale is just the best thing ever.
