    BLACKENED CHICKEN CAESAR WRAP

    I paid $20 for a chicken wrap with a side of chips & salsa. I received whatever the poor excuse for a wrap is with fries instead. Also I paid almost $14 for an order of pretzel bites that I just straight up did not receive. Apparently the kitchen staff and those bagging can't be bothered to check even the simplest of orders. Will not be ordering from here again. Total rip-off, do not bother.

    The food is okay. Much like a certain factory of cheese curds (albeit with a more manageable menu), you won't be wowed, but probably not overly disappointed if you get what it is familiar: the flatbread Margherita pizza is pretty good, though. Servers are pleasant and attentive. The seating is spacious, with ample room between tables and a very high ceiling, which makes the ample TVs feel less intrusive. Both tables and booths are high. Free-standing tables have essentially comfortable bar stools with backs. Thus, if you are or will be accompanied by someone who had mobility challenges, this might be a tough spot. But otherwise, it was fine.

    BREAKFAST TACOS with grits
    Sara B.

    I've been here once for dinner and once for brunch, so this is a review for both. It's a big space and my friend and I didn't have any issues being seated either time. Family friendly vibe at dinner. Our waitresses both times were attentive and friendly so five stars for the service. My main issue unfortunately was the food. Dinner was overall pretty good with a large amount of food. I got shrimp tacos and they were pretty yummy. Fries were fine. Brunch was an enormous disappointment. I got the egg tacos and everything was so basic and under seasoned. I'm a huge brunch girl and I can easily make a meal like this at home a hundred times better. My friend didn't enjoy her breakfast food any more than I did. I might go back here for dinner, but definitely not for brunch.

    Nashville Hot Chicken Nachos
    Rajandeep D.

    This was my second time dining at City Works, and both visits have been fantastic. On my recent trip to the Watertown location, my friends and I tried a variety of dishes. The pesto margarita flatbread was spot on -- thin, crispy, and perfectly saucy (although I would've preferred a bit more pesto drizzle). The Nashville hot chicken nachos were my personal favorite, with a unique twist: they use white beans instead of black beans, which really made the dish stand out. We also tried the chicken tinga tacos -- a nice surprise with the guac inside the taco rather than on the side. Lastly, the rigatoni was a hit -- I'm not sure what was in the sauce, but it was absolutely delicious. Despite the restaurant being packed, everything moved smoothly. Our waiter went above and beyond, helping us modify dishes since one of us is vegetarian, ensuring we could enjoy everything with the meat and chicken on the side. Overall, great food, amazing service, and a lively atmosphere

    Great place to catch any sporting event. We appreciated the very open dining area. We shared and enjoyed the fried pickles. I had a good flatbread pizza and my dining partner had fish tacos that she enjoyed. Service was attentive and friendly. Many menu options. Great to have free garage parking nearby.

    Bloody Mary
    Sara G.

    Our server was awesome on Sunday 8/4, I wish I'd remembered his name. He was very friendly and happily checked with the kitchen about an ingredient for me. Great menu knowledge. My fiancé had a beautiful Bloody Mary with lots of toppings. The linguini has chicken and sausage, but I removed those and it was awesome. There was just the right amount of sauce and the veggies were cooked perfectly. Enjoyed cheese curds as an app. We miss Boston already :)

    Soup and salad

    Great outdoor patio, good selection of craft beers. The food menu offers good choices, but the beer selection and the big screen TVs are the real draw. Parking is out front or around the corner in a free public garage. We now stop in for happy hour and can either stay and eat there or eat in the larger mall area.

    Cajun Chicken Pasta
    Lori R.

    Six of us got lucky at prime time on a Friday night to get a high top. Chairs are padded and have backs and are very comfortable. Everything else was just okay. Service started off okay but after we got our food, no one was offered another drink, dishes not removed. They were super busy which I'm sure is the reason. Food-wise, those of us that had chicken in our dishes all agreed that the chicken just wasn't good. Guessing it came as frozen pre-cooked chunks. The texture was weird and no seasoning at all on them. I did like the other flavors on my cajun chicken pasta though. The best dish on the table was the Vegan Kung Pao Cauliflower but it was super oily. Also didn't care for the fact that the only wines offered were on tap and ridiculously expensive. Brews good though.

It is ok the smaller side, so I would arrive slightly early if you would like good viewing of a specific game; however, there is TVs throughout the small-ish space. I ordered the cheese curds to munch on, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that they were some of the best cheese curds I've had. The breading wasn't thick like most, just an ultra thin layer. Added fresh jalapeños. And for dipping it was a ranch-styled sauce. So SO good ! I had a local, canned beer to drink. Service was good and it gave off a local/community vibe since the bartenders seemed to know who the regulars are. I will definitely be back! I typically don't drink cocktails at this sort of establishment, but the White Russian 2.0 has perked my interest. If the food is that great and it's only $13 for a cocktail... I'll be back to give it a try.

    Hanging out in Boston on business and it's #WingWednesday! So I did some research which lead me to…read morethe Shine Square Pub in Cambridge, MA which is a little east-northeast of Boston. Here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: It's a bit of a dive bar and there's nothing wrong with that at all. There's lots of seemingly random swag that covered the dark wooden/brick walls of the open floorplan style restaurant. There are lots of TVs and this place just gives off nice sports bar vibes! Service: Ron the bartender/owner himself was taking care of the entire restaurant so he was killing it! He still was quick, efficient, did things with a smile and still made time to chat! Food: I'm here for the wings and I was able to try out 4 flavors! There are 14 sauces to choose from, but I only had enough room for 4. Lol. First up were the Cinnamon Chipotle Dry Rub. They were a decent size, super juicy, crispy, cooked perfectly. The seasoning was a bit on the salty side and I didn't get a whole lot of cinnamon, but it was there to cut the sauce and give it a extra layer of flavor. Next up was the Honey Honey which had great sauce coverage. They gave me a bit of a grilled/caramelized feel. These had a good kick to them and the honey was blended in nicely. Next up were the Roasted Garlic & Aji! These had a more traditional flavor profile that reminded me of your favorite straight-up roasted chicken. Very class and very good. Lastly, was the hottest sauce on the menu, Chernobyl. These were a BRIGHT RED like a poison dart frog warning you not to eat it. Lol. It didn't smell too intimidating, but Ron did say it was a ghost pepper based wing. Upon tasting them, there was an immediate sensation of heat. Good, pepper-rich sweetness up front. These were very good, but not as spicy as I had predicted, which is totally okay! Value: You get 6 wings for $11.00. A little on the pricey side, but it's Boston, sort-of downtown, but it's okay! It's not bad at all and the food was totally worth it. I loved this place and I'm so happy I finally found a good wing spot here in the Cambridge area. I'll surely try some more flavors and other things from their menu!
