Hi Dave! longtime since I've had you're delicious ribs.With extra bread. I'm online now trying to make a order.

Awesome cheeseburger. Originally planned to order takeout, but the guys at the counter were super friendly and the ambiance was great. Will be coming back again! read more

My salad was delicious! They even included some bread and onion rings, and were really accommodating for the changes I made to my order. And, the staff is so nice! Will definitely return. read more

A lovely place. Great prices, great service, huge selection of great food! Will definitely make it a plan to come back here! read more

Such a hidden gem with great quality food at a good price! We tried their burger special, cajun fries, and cheeseburger sub. The onion rings that came with the burger special had a thick, crispy batter. I'd take cajun fries over plain salted fries any day but even the salted fries were great. They had a really nice crispy texture. The burger and cheeseburger sub tasted similar-- one was the longer version of the other. The patty-to-bun ratio was great (the patty was nice and thick). The patty itself was moist but they also added some ketchup and mayo to bind everything together. I'll have to try their BBQ some time, since other Yelpers have said so many positive things. read more

Big sandwiches that taste great. Cheap prices for what you get. Great for a quick lunch on busy workdays. read more

I've lived here pretty much my whole life but overlooked this spot until now. The owner is so kind and the food is a reflection of the warmth and kindness he brings to this community. I highly recommend the steak bomb from the grill and the steak tip plate! read more

Surprisingly awesome food! Same for ambiance. I thought that this was going to be basically a cheap bad pizza place without the pizza, but actually it's really nice. read more

I stopped by the other day to grab a couple of items - I absolutely loved their BBQ chicken dinner, buffalo chicken salad, onion rings, and French fries. The salad may sound plain, but it was very impressive coming from a lowkey salad snob. You get a couple of onion rings and thin slices of garlic bread atop a big portion of veggies and lettuce. And the buffalo chicken was moist and oh so flavorful. Big portions and fresh, delicious food for low prices. Lots of options on the menu too. The owner is very welcoming and friendly - I will be back to try more read more

BEST FOOD EVER!!!!! Amazing service, staff is always so friendly and helpful. If ever in the Boston or Cambridge area looking for something to eat, I highly recommend stopping by cambridge deli & grill!!!!!! read more

Okay, my sandwich was a little soggy, and the tuna did not taste the best!! The service was attentive, a little bit pricey for what you get

Great quality food and awesome staff. Would recommend the Greek salad and onion rings. Would come back when in town.

Moved to Cambridge a few months ago. Have been looking for a good sub shop, with good portions and a value menu. This is without a doubt the best bang for your buck sub shop in the City of Cambridge. Best Steak and Cheese i've had in the area. I'll 100% be going back. This dude knows how to make food. Went with a large steak and cheese w/ small fry + a soda. Only ~$15. Unheard of prices for this area. read more

Best onion rings. We only got to go once and I regret not going one more time to try another sandwich. Place is small but cozy. Staff is attentive and friendly. read more

This is one of our favorite neighborhood takeout spots. Dave, the chef/owner, is so pleasant and friendly, and remembers our finicky family's custom orders :) The food is consistently good here. Our go-to is the BBQ chicken platter, but the other dishes we've rotated through - the tuna melt, cheeseburger, steak tips, fried fish - have also been quite satisfying. They put up a large new signboard a couple of years ago which makes this little place more visible. Covid measures are also in place - masking, plexiglassed counter, hand sanitizers at the entrance and counter, restrictions on the number of customers inside. We will keep coming back! read more

My go to deli during the early part of the pandemic. The owner is a great guy. I couldn't decide between a pastrami or corned beef sandwich. He made me both on rye bread w onion rings. Also the wings are pretty good. read more

Love this place. Dave and Rob know their customers ..or they already treat each person like they are already your buddy. Def a gem placed outside of central Square and worth trying if you never had. Tip: bbq anything is good! Also try the chicken cutlet on a bulkie roll with everything including the peppercinis!! They throw a compliment small taste of fries and onion rings on every dish even if you didn't order it!! Generous!! read more

I came here for a quick lunch pick up. I order a large pastrami to go. The large pastrami come in a sub roll rather than a small in a hamburger size bun. Lettuce, tomato and onions are added with the meat! The pastrami was tasty. I think the sandwich would be better if the sub was a little more toasted. read more

I first have to say that it's not fair to other barbecue chicken how good their barbecue chicken is! This place is amazing. The owners are so amazing. Excellent customer service always greet you with a smile. Everything I've had here is delicious. But the barbecue is out of this world. The barbecue chicken dinner is spectacular. The chicken falls right off the bone! I don't know what kind of magic they put in that barbecue sauce but it is freaking amazing huge portions! Definitely definitely my favorite barbecue chicken by far read more

Cambridge Deli & Grill - BBQ chicken dinner!!! Ridiculous!! Amazing - Delis Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

BBQ Chicken dinners are where it's at. Onion Rings and Fries are both good. The salad that comes with the dinners are simple, but surprisingly fresh and well-dressed. We've tried their subs - the eggplant parm seemed a little bland, and the steak & cheese was a'ight. The fried chicken dinner was a little dry and the pieces were tiny, but the fries and salad were good. The cajun chicken dinner - we threw it away... the whole thing, except the salad, The rice was unfortunate, separate and seemed like instant, which is understandable, given it's a deli, but we'll steer towards the bbq chicken dinners with fries & onion rings. The owner seems reasonable. It's nice to support small businesses during these covid-19 pandemic times. read more

It's a old school sandwich shop but the flavors are amazing. Plus the man behind the counter is so awesome to talk too. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Cambridge Deli & Grill - Chicken cutlet sandwich with onion rings - Delis Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Best sandwiches in Cambridge at an affordable price. Run by its owners and you can tell. The owners are extremely friendly and serve great food. Great for takeout if you work in Central Square. You must try the cheesesteak sandwich. read more

Amazing sandwiches and BBQ. Enter my new favorite casual lunch spot in Cambridge. Can a Tuna Club Sandwich have the 'wow' factor? Yes, but not by trying to be fancy or different. All it has be be is good. Good salad, fresh veggies, perfectly toasted bread, perfectly crispy bacon, good assembly, made to order. As Michael Fassbender would say: Perfection. This amazing sandwich comes with a quarter pickle spear, a pickle slice, fries, onion rings, and wait for it... less than $10. I don't know if the fries were completely homemade, but they were perfect. Super fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned. Quite simply perfect french fries. The onion rings were really tasty too. For just $15 or so, you can get yourself a pretty legitimate plate of BBQ. The chicken was juicy and the ribs tender. The plate came with a choice of side, salad, toast, two legs, one thigh, and 3 large ribs. Not too shabby either... Service is extremely friendly and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in their food (as they should.) The one downside is that good things made to order sometimes take a little bit of time, so if you are in a rush call ahead to have your order ready for takeout. Simple. Good. Food. read more

Would give 6 stars if there was an option. Dave has many regulars here (which he usually knows by name) and for good reason. During peak hours you'll often see the mail-delivery lady, person who works down the street, etc. etc... and you know what they say of restaurants that has many loyal, repeat customers. If you don't know what to try you can ask him. He'll nicely guide you towards what's popular. Excellent service. Food doesn't disappoint. I always get the burger here. If you're in Central Square it's not a bad idea to take a 3 minute walk down River St to try this place out. Be cognizant of their hours though; they close quite early in the evening and aren't open on the weekends. Thanks Dave! read more

Randomly picked this place for a quick bite to eat. While there is no ambiance to this place, it doesn't matter. I got the Reuben and my wife got the buffalo chicken sub. Both were outstanding. We both agreed it was one of the best sandwiches we have ever had. read more

I love this place!! so clean so simple with great food. The owner/chef is very friendly and the ambience is casual and welcoming. The food is simple and awesome ..I love it all around! read more

Cambridge Deli & Grill - my dinner - Delis Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

It's not a very big space, but they have a really good variety of menu items, great sandwiches, friendly staff, what more could you want? It's not fancy, but it's clean, and I've been very happy with everything I've gotten there. I'll keep going back to try more and more of their choices! read more

A true hidden gem! Simple and delicious food, and great friendly service. Anything with the BBQ sauce is delicious, but my favorite is the BBQ Steak sandwich! read more

I wanted onion rings and they gave me onion rings! They were hot and delicious, service was quick and pleasant (all takeout). The small order of onion rings is plenty substantial for one person indulging! read more

always cooks my food exactly how i requested even gained the nickname super crispy wing girl. The turkey clubbed comes stuffed and i love it

Perfect local sandwich spot, good food and really friendly management. Had a simple and tasty roast beef sandwich and it was exactly what I needed. Welcoming and comforting, places like these are more than just a place to grab a sandwich (though it's great for that, too)--I'd argue that for some, they can fill an existential void. Sometimes some bread, some meat, a side of chips, and a neighborly smile are just enough. If more of humankind lived near delis like this, I'm convinced we'd all live in peace. The world needs places like these, and people like the ones who work here. read more

YO! For all my fellow Philly Cheesesteak-lovers, this is the PLACE! I sheepishly ordered a "Steak and Cheese" (even though it's correctly called a "Cheese steak" ) and of course asked for the onions and mushrooms too. Every cheese steak eater lives in fear of anemic amounts steak with (aka: dried out ends of the roll that you have to tear off and leave in the ketchup-schmered paper). Yes, Cambridge Deli delivers an authentic Philly Cheese Steak. -- from an authentic Philly Snob read more

What a lovely place! Great food, friendly service. Cheeseburger sub is a game changer. Rueben is the tits too. Great jams too... who doesn't love Bob Seger. read more

Cambridge Deli & Grill - Cheeseburger sub - Delis Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Steak tip and grilled chicken salad, just amazing, definitely gonna revisit this place.

I love this restaurant! It's not very expensive, and the food is delicious! We're vegetarians, and my boyfriend says they have one of the best eggplant parm subs he's ever had. The burger special (veggie or beef or turkey or salmon burger, with salad AND fries AND onion rings for $9.99) is a great deal, and I love that they include bonus onion rings even when I only order a salad. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by here for lunch. It's about a 7 min walk from central square off the beaten path. Good traditional deli spot. Friendly staff and quick service. Will be back again! read more

Excellent turkey club and well worth the wait. Was visiting from out of town and was looking for a place for lunch. Nothing fancy here, but the sandwich and fries were delicious. Will definitely frequent the next time I'm in town. read more

Great food and the owner is awesome! Very kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Gluten-free options as well--will definitely be back!

I can't say enough good things about Cambridge Deli & Grill! The food is awesome--for sure my favorite BBQ chicken in Cambridge, and the subs are great too. Don't forget to get a Cajun mix if you want the best side of fries and onion rings you can find! In addition to the delicious food, Dave is a reason to keep coming back. He's so kind, always remembers people, and always takes a minute to chat. He's been so nice to me over the years of ordering there. Can't recommend this place enough! read more
