    Been here for both breakfast and dinner. I like coming here for breakfast, portions are big. Inside it's old school, no frills, nothing fancy, just food and a place to enjoy company. This review I'm doing is for our most recent dinner. I got a clam chowder which I waited almost 20 minutes for (yikes) but it ended up tasting good. My crab cakes were yummy and so was the rice pilaf and coleslaw. I was full so I took them home. My mom liked her chicken. Again nothing fancy but food is good. Our waitress was nice and felt bad about the chowder. They also have a parking lot which is rare for Cambridge. Also a large menu so you can't go wrong.

    I have been to this family owned restaurant many times and I have enjoyed the meals here every time. I went here today with 10 other friends (total) because we heard this Inman Square staple is closing its doors by next month and myself and my friends are sad to see it go. We have always tried to get the server Melanie for our table when we come because she does such a wonderful job of making sure we have everything that we need. As many of the other server do too, our food came to the table ready to eat and enjoyed by all. The meals always come with other sides too so we have always left here satisfied and full. The atmosphere is comfortable and family oriented so it's a relaxing place to eat. I hoped to get some sort of souvenir shirt to wear before it closes its doors but unfortunately it does not sell any clothing apparel. I will miss not coming here as will some of my family members will who have eaten here too.

    S&S Wings

    Get the S&S wings!! The sauce is great, a little sweet not really spicy. Wings came out piping hot and super fast. Staff was friendly and made sure to provide plenty of napkins and wet naps. I look forward to coming back!

    There is good reason it's been around for 100 years Great menu, good size portions and fast friendly service. I enjoyed a steak tip salad, and a side Mac and cheese. My husband had a sandwich and the fries were fabulous! Everything was yummy, and I took home another meal.

    I used to leave 10 min walking distance from this place --loved it then ! It was 15 years ago , and i get it , things change. Well , S&S sauce wings are awesome ! Onion soup... too big and too watery, bad. Ok, it's not a french restaurant, but any jewish mom knows how to make great soup base. But knishes !!! I got beef ones , they were glued to the plate . Sticky and moist dough instead of flaky. Yet hot pastrami sandwich was great as before. What tipped me over were the dirty floor and table , and sloooow service.

    Spicy , sweet and savoury Wings  Very delicious !!

    Absolutely astounding service and there's such a wide variety of food items There is something for every taste and every flavour

    I've been coming to S&S since I was a kid, and it's one of those rare places that feels like home every time I walk through the door. Their wings--bone-in or boneless--are always a hit, especially the buffalo ones, which have just the right amount of heat and flavor. I've been obsessed with their clam chowder for as long as I can remember, and their Florentine cookies are the kind of treat that stays on your mind long after you leave. Even their deli meats and egg rolls are on point--S&S somehow nails both comfort food and deli classics. Back when I was younger, every Thursday they used to serve a broccoli chicken dish that was to die for. I still dream about it and wish they'd bring it back someday. My go-to order always includes a Shirley Temple or a piña colada--they've perfected the balance of sweet and refreshing. And beyond the food, S&S holds a special place in my heart. My mother adored this place until the day she passed, and every visit brings back memories of meals shared, laughter, and love. S&S isn't just a restaurant--it's a piece of my history, and I'll keep coming back as long as those wings are on the menu.

    My EXTREMELY over-cooked latke.

    My favorite brunch dish of all time is Eggs Oscar, which I've frequently enjoyed at the S&S. However, this time, when a friend and I went to brunch there, the potato pancakes were HORRIBLE: deep-fried, WAAAY over-cooked, hard, nearly burnt, and difficult to chew and swallow. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE teach the cooks how to make proper latkes??? Those improperly cooked latkes ruined the entire entree for me. Otherwise, our waiter was Warner, who was WONDERFUL!!!

    So impressed by this place! I've lived in the area for a few years, but not sure why I never tried it until recently. If you're choosing between S&S and Mameleh's, I'd say go with S&S! The menu is huge, so you can order brunch or a traditional deli sandwich. The portions are huge and everything is delicious! This place has been around forever and has a nice old timey charm to it. The waiters were super sweet and attentive. It seemed like the place that would get a bunch of regulars and I was happy to see people of all ages there! I would 100% come back to try some more menu items.

    My husband and I were regulars for breakfast when we lived here over 20 years ago. We came back to Boston with our kids and found it to be just as we remembered it. Everyone really enjoyed their food, and our server was super friendly. Come here for a homey, comfortable and clean atmosphere. Especially good for sandwiches and breakfast.

    An institution!! love this place and everything I get here is a flavor bomb. I was so happy to see a vegetarian Rueben on the menu - the Swiss cheese complimented the mushrooms so much and it was such a big amount of food! The service was so fast, everyone needs to visit this place

    It seemed like a pretty busy weekend morning so staff was probably a bit occupied to warmly welcome us. But fortunately after ~20 minutes of waiting, the waitress swooped in with her kindness and niceness. The flavors leaned a bit on the milder side, leaving my taste buds craving more. However the portions were impressively sizable. You could easily stretch them into two satisfying meals. The dishes does lean towards the higher end in terms of cost. But fear not, because those generous portions come to the rescue, making the price more palatable. When it comes to ambiance, they may not boast the glitz and glam of trendy hotspots, but it does exude a charming historical aura. If you appreciate the touch of nostalgia and the stories embedded in its walls, you'll find the atmosphere quite enchanting. The experience didn't sweep me off my feet, I might consider giving it another shot--perhaps opting for takeout from their delightful deli or bakery section next time. Who knows, maybe those hidden gems hold the key to a flavor-packed adventure.

    Not only the best wings in the Boston area, but this is where you will find the absolute best place to have a long island ice tea. But it has to be made by a specific woman. Ask for a long island and ask for the lady of long islands. I'm sure she'll know it's her. They have deserts, street parking, and private parking in the back. Now go forth and eat great things. Get the S&S wings.

    Wasn't very impressed :( the service was pretty slow and breakfast was just okay. I've heard pretty good things about the wings though!

    I've been to Mortadella's twice so far. Both times were near closing (I'm sorry) and I was…read morepleasantly surprised at how lively and upbeat the staff were (most aren't near closing time haha). My first time in was with a friend to grab a slice of their chocolate cake. She was raving about it all night and it lived up to the hype. The cake is firm but moist and fudgy. Second time, I stopper by on a whim for a slice of pizza. I got cheese and bacon ranch. The slices were delicious. I have been on a hunt for a perfect pizza slice, the kind that droops naturally when you lift it and has the perfect sauce to cheese to crust ratio, this was it. Also thought the pricing was reasonable + they have a great rewards program you can sign up for! I am definitely going to be a regulal here moving forward. I've heard great things of Mortadella Head's ceasar sub, excited to go back and try it!

    Came here to try the chopped Caesar sub, and for me it did not live up to the hype. First couple…read morebites seemed promising, as the dressing is pretty good, but then I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of dressing in the sandwich and found myself trying to scrape off gobs of it. They're definitely more heavy handed on the sauce, so request light dressing or have it on the side if you're not lots of dressing. I also found the cutlets to be pretty sparse and dry, and the bread was just not good in texture or flavor. Service was fine, it took 20 mins to come out which was longer than I expected, and the space is small but has some seating. I might sound old, but the music was very loud and abrasive, so I didn't finish the other half of the sandwich and left. For $15 it wasn't my kinda sandwich so I probably won't be back.
