    Some good sauces for the tenders, featuring their signature honey mustard in the middle.
    Gary G.

    Small over-the-counter takeout operation with about a half dozen stools and window counter. Lots of subs in the menu, as well as seafood platters, but I was here for their famous chicken fingers and honey mustard. - Chicken Fingers Dinner: $17 and change for 10 fingers, fries, and a side salad or coleslaw wasn't bad at all. Sizable fingers, but this style I call tenders, and tender they were. Crisp, but delicate, very much like fried clams, and the chicken underneath was tender and very moist. Good stuff with or without the dipping sauce. - Sauces: The honey mustard was smooth, slippery, sweet, and tangy. Very enjoyable. I also liked their Buffalo (more like straight Frank's) and Boom sauce (ranch with seasonings). - Fries: Very solid. Not sure if hand cut, but if they were frozen, they were unusually good. Lots of long pieces, and they tasted potatoey, not like industrial starch. - Coleslaw: Little to no vinegar, predominantly if not entirely mayo, but a thinned-down mayo, so not too heavy. Very crisp thin-cut cabbage, most likely in a mandolin. Enjoyable. Service: Very friendly.

    Chicken Fingers

    I discovered this place through instagram reels and that it's accessible by train from my job. I ordered the chicken finger plate dinner. The tender exterior coating was crispy and well seasoned, and the inside was savory, juicy and tender. Fries came hot and stayed good even when cooled down and reheated. Brought the leftovers home and my mother ate some of it cold unbothered. Btw if you stay long enough to deplete the honey mustard cup you can ask to refill it at the counter.

    Buffalo tender dinner plate (10 tenders)

    Buffalo tender dinner plate, comes with 10 breaded buffalo tenders, a huge amount of fries (under foil), side of mixed salad and blue cheese (honey mustard was given to taste as they are known for it) All for 20+ dollars. Amazing huge portion, cheap meal and great quality. Service was very friendly even with the phone constantly ringing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small "shack" take out place but has bar stools to eat in and like 6 people in the kitchen working to get all the orders done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great spot!

    These chicken tenders are absolutely worth the hype! They're perfectly crunchy on the outside while also incredibly juicy and tender inside. The platter is a bit pricey, but also plenty of food for two. We ordered it with half fries and half onion rings, and thought the onion rings tasted a bit better. And the famous honey mustard sauce is famous for a reason - well balanced and the perfect complement to the tenders. I'd definitely go back!

    So good! I Heard so much about this place and I'm so glad I finally got to visit. It's classic on the inside with a small amount of high top window seating if you want to dine in. The menu had way too many options and I was overwhelmed even though I already knew what I wanted. I got the infamous chicken tender sub drenched in honey mustard. It was so tasty! At first I wasn't sure how it would work but I figured it out. Heads up it is a big sub. I also ordered mozzarella sticks and wings to split with my friend but we definitely were eating with our eyes. Can't wait to come again and try other options on the menu.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is very small shop, mom and pop vibes with a few high pub chairs and a small parking lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is popular and I was in line and order my food and waited about 15 minutes. I had fish and chips and Greek salad , chicken tenders , slice of carrot cake, slice of cheese and pepperoni pizza. The lady who took my order was super nice . The fish was amazing , especially with the tartar sauce . It was finger licking good . The ranch sauce for the chicken fingers was scrumptious, best ranch I ever had. By the way I'm a meat eater and the slice of cheese pizza was tasty. The Greek salad was a tad disappointing, the side sad that comes with the fish and chips /chicken tender taste way better The carrot cake was delightful , it hit all my taste buds after the first bite I need to come back and try another item in the menu. I also like how they package everything to go and even fold the tip of the bag, nice and secure

At first we were going to be seated at a booth towards the back of…read morethe restaurant, one member of our party was on crutches so we requested to be moved to a more comfortable table in the restaurant. Our waitress was knowledgeable and gave good food and wine recommendations from the menu. Our party really enjoyed the octopus as it was a tender bite with freshness coming from the peas/mint/cilantro. We also enjoyed the juicy meatballs with tomato sauce and again a hint of freshness and nuttiness coming from the pine nut pesto. We were not crazy about the striped bass crudo. It just seemed to fall flat flavor wise for me maybe not enough salt or acid to really counter balance the other fresh clean flavors in the dish. That being said it was not bad just underwhelming. The pizzas were great value price wise and the flavor combinations were unique but also worked well with one another. I liked how they didn't shy away from using spicy peppers on the Nduja pizza. The Fennel Sausage pizza had that fattiness from the sausage mixed with acidity from the cherry peppers and some creaminess/extra layer of flavor with the green garlic cream sauce. I somewhat wish the pizza bottom was baked slightly longer for a less floppy center but that's just personal preference. They clearly put a lot of effort into this pizza recipe. The only critique we would have is the service seemed a bit rushed. We would have enjoyed a bit more time between appetizers and the mains. Even the check came pretty shortly after we finished which would be understandable on a busy weekend night but this was a Tuesday evening and there seemed to be plenty of empty tables around us. Other than that would recommend for an elevated night out!

I got the after school snack cocktail which was very refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. We split the Bucatini Verde and it was so delicious. I couldn't even pinpoint the flavors I was eating but it was amazing. Fresh pasta and just really good flavor. We saw a dish online we wanted, but the server explained they use that pasta for different dishes and change out the sauce, so I'm glad I got to try it. We then split the Pepperoni + Vodka Sauce pizza which was good. I'll be honest I was a tad disappointed in the pizza. It was flavorful but I think I was expecting the same feeling I got when I had the pasta. It was good, but just that, good. Crust was a little burnt. I did love the vibes and pasta and it's definitely known in Cambridge for a good reason. I'd recommend a reservation if you'd like a table as it does fill up fast.

She said it was fine as long as we didn't order drinks, then seated us at the bar. We were only given drink menus. When the bartender came over to take our order, I had to ask for a food menu myself. Our seating was also uncomfortable. We were placed right next to the bar/server station. My sister got splashed when drinks were being opened, and servers repeatedly bumped into her chair while passing. We ordered the Carnivore pizza. The pizza itself was quite salty. The dough was decent, but not impressive. I kept trying to convince myself it was good, but it fell short. Pizza: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Would I return? No. Overall, I was surprised by the 4.4 rating. My expectations were much higher based on the reviews.

Reservations are a must. Bar seating is fine, there is ample space, not at all crowded. The bartender doubled as our waiter. He was very knowledge about the menu and personable.
