    burger
    Catalina G.

    This burger was literally to die for. It was so cheesy and juicy. The service was fast. The ambiance was upbeat, there were a bunch of people in there for lunch and there's an arcade directly in store!! The only con is that the seating inside gets filled up fast.

    100% will be back! I got the LTO Burger with no onions and it was DELICIOUS. The key? Chipotle Mayo as the sauce - under Dippers on the menu. It's the perfect pairing for the grilled cheese, burger, and fries. We ordered this to a closeby brewery in Cambridge and it was the move. Will be back! The grilled cheese was phenomenal with the chipotle mayo too.

    Buffalo tofu melt, truffle fries, Roxy's sauce
    Meg B.

    10/10 recommend. It was worth re-ordering this from door dash because someone stole my first order. I ordered the Buffalo tofu melt, & the truffle fries with a side of Roxy's sauce. The melt was delicious- it had the perfect amount of sauce, the bread was crispy, and the veggies added a nice crunch. The truffle fries were SO good and the sauce was a nice addition

    Love the burgers & grilled cheeses! This location also includes an arcade with drinks & games. The arcade also includes a few additional items on the menu. The chicken tenders are really good as well. They're always quick. Some of the games include: mortal kombat, skee ball, hoops, & Mario kart. Very unique & great spot overall for an evening out.

    Truffle Tots and Tomato Soup
    Mike S.

    Roxy's was always on our list when coming to Cambridge and we came in at just the right time for dinner, not packed but not empty either. We chatted with the staff for a bit to figure out what to get. I will say the space isn't that big but it works well for quick in and out service since you order at the counter and they then bring your food to you. Went looking at the menu their were 2 things that really stuck out to me. The Steak N Cheese, I mean I love Cheesesteak and I love Grilled Cheese. Then the Poutine Tots. Again, love poutine and love tots how do I not. The Steak N Cheese was good. Not up to par with the tender ribeye in a true cheesesteak but still got the job done. I feel like the steak was similar to steak emms if you are wondering. The Poutine was more of a let down for me. The tots were good but the curds were over cooked for sure to the point that I didn't even realize there was cheese in those fried balls. To save the tots the Truffle ones saved them. They were very good, and having some tomato soup as well is always the best. Also their is an amazing arcade right behind Roxy's so make sure to check it out.

    Hot honey bacon grilled cheese and truffle tater tots
    Christina G.

    Roxy's grilled cheese is amazing! I ordered the hot honey bacon grilled cheese and truffle tater tots. Both were tasty and crisp! They are made with good quality ingredients and prepared fresh. I love stopping here when I see the food truck or when I'm near the restaurant.

    Green muenster
    Matthew H.

    Fun place with cute decor (and apparently an arcade? It wasn't open when I stopped by for lunch, though). I ordered the classic three-cheese and it was really good! A bit smaller than I expected but very yummy through-and-through, and for such a low price, too. My friend had the green muenster which was a little mediocre - guac wasn't the freshest and bacon too salty. We also got the truffle tots which smelled so good - and thankfully also tasted great :) A bit too oily but very fragrant, and we wolfed those down quickly. I heard the burgers/chicken sandwiches are also really tasty, too, so I'm really looking forward to coming back to try those out soon!

    Plain grilled cheese
    Carlie C.

    Grilled cheese was really good and hit the spot, although I do feel like it's a bit overpriced for just a plain grilled cheese ($8). I was a bit disappointed in their vegetarian options and wish they had more fun grilled cheese options without meat. The friends I was with got the green munster sandwich which they loved and said was amazing. Service was great - everyone was super friendly! I do wish they were open a bit later - on a Friday night they closed at 11.

    Victoria T.

    I got the chicken tenders and truffle fries, they were both really good! The chicken tenders was a "side" but it was big enough to be a full dinner meal. I thought they were great, I didn't expect chicken tenders to be so good, since they're known for grilled cheese. The fries were big portions too, and came out hot and fresh. I'd def come back, the prices weren't too expensive either.

    Southern Grilled Cheese
    Lina L.

    I made an online pick-up order and got the poutine fries, steak & cheese grilled cheese, as well as the southern grilled cheese. Both sandwiches are buttered nicely with perfect browning. I enjoyed both sandwiches, although I am not sure if they justify the price. The sandwich is quite hefty and leaves you satisfied. They do get a bit oily but not so overwhelming to prevent you from finishing the sandwich in one go. I preferred the steak & and cheese, although it was a little messy to eat as pieces of steak kept slipping out the sandwich. The poutine fries, on the other hand, were very disappointing. The cheese curd was overly fried and dried up. The gravy was overly salty, making it quite tiring to consume. The fries themselves were okay, but the portion of this dish did not make it worth the price. I would have ordered a third grilled cheese instead. Besides the poutine, the sandwiches were okay, so I would not mind coming back if I am craving a really fancy grilled cheese.

    Jack L.

    I think grilled cheese is a hard food to really wow someone with. Like don't get me wrong, the food is enjoyable and tasty - but it's not the type of dish that leaves like "I'm really satisfied and satiated with the the money I put down". I think I would be happier if I mentally silo the restaurant as bar food. It is going to be greasier than your typical lunch or dinner so I think it's best if you forget that during a night of drinking. The truffle tater tots were nothing to be amazed with and I barely remember my experience with them. However, I really do remember their milkshakes which were incredible - highly recommend any of their flavors here. It's hard to recommend when you have other great options in Central.

    If you have not been to this place, get there! if you're an 80s kid like me it will hit all the feels. I had the green Munster sandwich, and it did not disappoint, it has a unique and whimsical flavor that hits all the tastebuds at once. The restaurant itself is a front or a hidden arcade that opens after five. Service is fast and efficient and they get it right. The first time also loved the nostalgia of the IBC root beer in the glass bottles. The restaurant makes you feel like a kid again with coin operated machines as well as a dollar bill exchange machine just like the old days. Not like the newer chains that have a card you swipe for every game. there's just something about the sound of a quarter hitting a Steel box inside a pinball machine #cambridge #goguard #nationalguard @sfc_chambers

    This was sooooo good !

It's only open for brunch on Sundays, which combined with always being seated immediately makes it feel like a hidden gem. The back patio is quiet, shaded, and sheltered from wind. The food shines. Of course the egg scramble and the Benedict's were fantastic, but every piece of every plate feels deliberate and done with intention--nothing is an afterthought. - Their home fries are my all-time favorite--thick, well-seasoned, soft on the inside with some crisp on the outside. - - The English muffin toast has a crunchy golden surface and soft inside. - The whipped cream on the French toast feels luxurious. - Oyster shooters are a fun treat, as a lover of both fried clams and bloody Mary's. - They were kind enough to accommodate us with a half order of their (outstanding) French toast for dessert I'd note there's no espresso drinks on the menu, although I did enjoy the black coffee. I like trying new spots, but if the question is Sunday brunch then Avenue is always my answer.

In particular, there was an orange mezcal cocktail I loved. For brunch, it was good but not great. The pancakes were good, but the eggs Benedict wasn't as good as I hoped. It was trying to be too many things. I think it would be better if the veg was on the side and not on the egg, and the Benedict sauce could benefit from having more flavor, maybe a little more spice. The coffee and cappuccino was also mediocre. The service was friendly and the location convenient, right next to the Cambria hotel with an indoor entrance between the two.

I got a martini with the blue cheese olives, the smoked blue cheese in the olive was so unique and CREAMY and salty I'd be happy to back just for the olives alone. Shrimp cocktail came with half a lemon with OLD BAY seasoning!! Genius! Big shrimp, two sauces were great too, horse radish cream sauce and a classic cocktail sauce which was a tad sweet for me but I'll get over it because I'm all about the lemon and old bay. Cesar salad! Big salad! Wish we shared one. Big garlic croutons with a bit of rosemary and you could taste good olive oil on those. Dressing was very lemony and there was a hefty amount of cheese. I'd say even if you're someone who prefers a creamy Cesar you'd probably still like this because there's a lot of cheese which added great texture. Came with a big grilled lemon which is an A++ move in my book. Husband added grilled chicken to his and said it was great. Next time we'll share a Cesar and I can't wait to go back and try the fried artichokes.

When we came in we were greeted and our coats were taken and put away. They have rotating specials that our server walked us through. We ordered all three of the mock tails on the menu -- Odin's Oracle was a sparkling elderflower and passion fruit drink, the Northern Rose was fruity with a slight thick cream of coconut base (and the tables favorite!) and the last drink was a warm ginger drink. They all came out looking beautiful. For food, we started with the Halloumi Cheese which was delicious and perfect for sharing (comes with four pieces), then tried the Blueberry Ricotta Cornbread (really well made and yummy but needed a little more butter spread) and the fried burrata (huge serving of burrata with balsamic, fig jam, warm bread, just as good as it sounds). We tried the Braised Short Rib Croquettes which were stuffed with short rib and topped with sooo much yummy cheese. We also had the Pappardelle braised shore rib Ragu which was truly delicious-- would highly recommend. For dessert we tried a special menu bread pudding which was a perfect end to the night. Our leftovers came perfectly packaged in little baggies with dish names and dates written on them which is so cute and thoughtful! Overall I would order everything we got again and was so pleasantly surprised by the caliber of food at Oak Bistro-- get in and try it before it gets too popular!

We walked into a room where the walls are covered in memorabilia and every table is labeled with the name of a famous person who has sat there, giving the space a personality that no amount of designed ambiance can replicate. It feels like a place with genuine history rather than a place performing one. The burgers are the reason to come and they hold up after more than six decades without apology. The patties are thick and cooked to order, with medium being the right call for maximum juiciness. The creative topping combinations across the named burgers give you a range of directions to go depending on your mood. The Masshole is a natural starting point for a first visit, and the build your own option is worth knowing about if you want to go a more specific route. The portions are large enough that leaving satisfied is essentially guaranteed. The onion rings are a great choice of side for good reason, crispy and well seasoned in a way that holds up alongside the burger rather than competing with it, and the sweet potato fries are a strong alternative if you want something slightly less heavy. The frappes and shakes are worth ordering if you want something to wash it all down, and the raspberry lime Rickey is a summer ready drink with a refreshing taste. Service is straightforward and efficient, fitting the no-nonsense energy of a busy burger joint that has been handling crowds for decades. The staff moves quickly and knows the menu inside out, helping first timers navigate the extensive list of named burgers without hesitation. For a classic burger experience in Harvard Square that delivers on history, flavor, and personality, Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage remains a landmark worth every bit of its reputation.
