    **Dubai Chocolate Shake Review** At first glance... "Oh dear god what have I done?" Quickly turned into "Oh my goodness it's so beautiful!!" Then to "Holy hell it's delicious." The shake features real pistachio frozen custard blend with toasted kataifi shredded phyllo, coated in a crackable dark chocolate shell, topped with chopped pistachios & crunchy kataifi. One sip in, I looked at the Shake Shack employee and with a face of disbelief I simply asked... "How??!!" After a few sips, the hell with the straw and just dug in either a spoon to fetch out the little chunks of the magic shell chocolate with my pistachio custard & kataifi. Damn it I deserved this... it's what I will tell myself every time I visit Shake Shack solely just to indulge in one of these glorious shakes. If I were to critique, I would say add in a bit of actual melted chocolate other than the chocolate shell as well as more of a pistachio dense custard to get that famous green pistachio color And personally I love a good crunch so I'd go for more toasted kataifi.

    Whenever traveling, after checking into our accommodations, we gravitate towards food places that can be relied upon. Shake Shack is one of those places for us throughout the nation. Shake Shack at Assembly Row offers an enjoyable dining experience with its signature juicy burgers, crinkle-cut fries, creamy milkshakes, and frozen custard. The ambiance is casual and vibrant, ideal for both quick bites and leisurely meals. We appreciate the clean, outdoor patio dining space that is comfortable and dog friendly. The staff are friendly and service is efficient. Overall, it's a reliable choice for satisfying fast-casual fare in a trendy setting.

    Good food on a rainy day. The store looked pretty busy, but the food came quick. They also seemed to clean the tables after people dine and left.

    Haven't ever really been to a Shack Shack before that I can remember, but went here with nephews and family after going to LEGOLAND. We ate in and it was fast and efficient. I had the new Korean BBQ Burger and I'd get again. No complaints here. We liked fries too.

    Smoke shack burger with fries

    I am shocked at the hate in these reviews for Shake Shack. I stand firm that I love Shake Shack for fast food burgers. I love their burgers, simple and delicious. I live close by to this location so ordered pick up recently. I don't usually review huge chains like this but the pick up order today was particularly good. Everything tasted super fresh, it was fast. What really stood out for me was the fries today. I will admit I don't usually love fries at shake shack but these were really good! Crispy and still soft inside. I'm local around Somerville so I obviously love this location, right in the middle of a mall. Frankly, Assembly needed something like shake shack to come in for its convenience for a quick meal!

    Brand new shake shack. Super clean. They have it set up where there is no cashier. You make you own orders through a tablet. You can see all options and full customizations. Which to be honest I prefer. I want to see all options I can make, without bothering a cashier/associate. Burgers were crispy and meaty. vegetables were fresh, buns were soft. What else can I ask for? Fries were a bit expensive but they were hot and crispy. Lightly salted, delish. I will visit more often shake shack!

    The service here is great. Very accommodating on my request for a Korean burger with the mushroom burger in one. They made it a shack stack with the Korean burger fixings. Very tasty. I enjoyed it very much.

Our favorites were the Mussels in Red Curry Rice Wine, Red Curry Bolognese, Massaman Beef Burger, and Mango Sticky Rice. Each packed with flavor and executed beautifully. The Thai Iced Tea was also excellent, while the Thai Ice Espresso Martini just wasn't for me. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean, cozy, and inviting. The only downsides were that they had run out of their sourdough brioche buns, which I was excited to try, and reservations were tough to get as we had to book about a month in advance. Even so, it's easy to see why this place is so popular. I'll definitely be back and hopefully try some of the burgers with those sourdough buns next time.

    I have to admit, given all the hype, I was expecting a bit more from Black Ruby. My friends and I…read morecame on a Thursday night with a reservation, and the restaurant was packed. Now, I suspect this might due in part because of the hype + location + thai/american fusion flavor, but even with a reservation we still ended up waiting about 30 minutes to be seated. Unfortunately, the service throughout dinner wasn't much better. Between the three of us, we ordered the scallion fries (which, for anyone wondering, aren't actually fries tossed in scallion oil or dressing), the fried calamari, the red curry Bolognese, the green curry pasta with steak, and, of course, the much-hyped Massaman burger. The fried calamari was probably the weakest dish. It had a fishier taste than I expected, and the breading was fairly greasy and tended to fall off. The scallion fries were good, though not especially memorable. Of the entrées, we preferred the green curry pasta over the red curry Bolognese, though both became a little heavy after a while. The Massaman burger was solid, but not quite the standout I was hoping for. Across the dishes, our biggest takeaway was that the curry sauces all leaned fairly rich and salty without much contrast. A little acidity or citrus would have gone a long way in brightening the flavors. Overall, Black Ruby was good, just not quite as memorable as I expected. Nothing we ordered really wowed us, but it's still a perfectly solid spot if you're in the area. I'd be open to coming back, though I'd probably try some different items if we were ever around Harvard Square.

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.

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.

    Wow talk about a hidden gem!…read more I hadn't heard much about this place so I wasn't sure what to expect-- located in Inman square with nearby limited street parking (there's a metered lot on Springfield street nearby!), Oak Bistro is a medium sized restaurant with a simple but chic decor and true focus on hospitality. 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.
