Russell Gens: These guys do it like nobody else in Cambridge. The meat is exquisite, the sides simply slap, and the sauces are fantastic. Definitely going back

Jeremy Silver: This place is the best! When I had a snafu trying to bring food home to some friends and dropped the food, Tony, the owner, was SO kind and stayed open a few minutes after they closed to cook me up some more food for free. He and the whole staff were incredibly kind about it - and the food was DELICIOUS! Everyone needs to try this place.

Quentin Brandèl: Ordered a fish combination plate. Despite the small portion and the expensive price, I wanted to support the business. Once I tasted the fish and it was devoid of seasoning, I went back to the restaurant to ask if they could prepare the fish again with some seasoning. The immediate response I got from the female employee was “you can’t tell us that we didn’t use seasoning”. Her entire demeanor was disrespectful, and once I returned the same energy she attempted to gaslight me. I then asked for a refund. They then begin to say that they don’t offer refunds.I work hard for my money and I’m intentional about where I spend it. I support small businesses, and I’m completely disappointed. Why would I give my money to doesn’t respect me?!If you don’t know how to speak to customers you’re in the wrong business especially when your food is subpar…Bad food, bad service. Save your money. This is not authentic southern cuisine.PS: they aslo made some weird comment about the words cis and sis, not knowing that my pronouns are they/them.This experience was horrible. All I wanted was for the fish to be seasoned. I didn’t want my money back until I was approached with disrespect.

Khari Brown: Please open earlier waiting til 3 for lunch while at work is far too late.

Subin Lee: We spent $83 on our meal (Uber eats) and I would say we were fairly dissatisfied. I had high hopes for this restaurant given all of the wonderful reviews they had.I was expecting juicy, crispy, lightly battered fried chicken only to get hard, dry, stale chicken. Perhaps they were having an off day but it was just such a let down.The ribs were good but they were tough to eat.We both got the fried chicken and ribs platter with 2 sides and the beef and cheese patty (which was very good!)The only reason I might try again is because their flavor/seasoning is great.

Fay Chan: The jerk wings were cold. I repeat COLD, like they came out of a fridge and they were hard as if old (you can tell by how shriveled the chicken is even in the pic). Mac n cheese was bland. Rice & beans ok. Catfish ok. Only the collard greens were good. Chicken very dry idk how so many people like it. My husband and I both weren’t pleased with the portions either. Overall just not very good.

James Brice: The food was bland I ordered 2/24/23 Uber Eats order number #CDFE6 the Fried chicken thighs I ordered you could tell it was Fried in fish grease that was a Turn off

Shaba C: The best ribs I ever had matter fact the whole meal was was amazing!!

Tim: Best southern food around! But please bring back the chicken and waffles.

Jan: Very tasty cake! We had the sweet potato pie and a vanilla and almond cake.Can really recommend to taste them!

Austin Stawiarz: Awesome people and great food! By far the best fried chicken in Boston!

Jessica Winford: Delicious. We live far too close to this restaurant to have taken over a year to finally order. I ordered the fried wing combo with collard greens and Mac n cheese. The Mac was out of this world, very cheesy. And the wings, so much flavor. My husband had the smoked BBQ pork ribs and loved it too. They were so incredibly nice here as well, you can tell they treat everyone like family. Cannot wait to try more on the menu!

Kristen Kelly: Did not disappoint! I am thoroughly impressed that they even allowed walkins the day before Thanksgiving within hours of them closing that in itself is amazing. The staff was really sweet. The food was amazing and tasted like home. This definitely will not be my last time here they found themselves a regular. I can’t wait to try what else they have.

Laura Maxi: The Glass House was a nice local spot in the Cambridge area. My thoughts.... the overall service was ok. There wasn't anything special about it they did their job. The clam chowder, which was award winning, was good. The meatballs I felt were overcooked. The fish tacos could've used some flavor instead of so much filler. The arancini, I had better but definitely better than Eataly. The highlight of my dinner was the shrimp cocktail, steak frites, mixed berry tart, and the lechmere martini! The steak was cooked well and flavorful, and the fries had the right amount of rosemary. I left satisfied, so that's all that matters, and if I return, I know the exact meal to get 😊

Linette Davis: Gorgeous space. Great service. Great food. They overcooked my friend's steak, so I recommend ordering 1 or 2 levels more rare than you like.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Nia DeYounge: Very good food, drinks, and appetizers. I went two nights in a row and the service was great. A lot of older professionals dining in the back, and some younger professionals by the bar. I don't know if that's intentional, but just what i noted!Parking: Parking in Kendall Square at 6/6:30pm is a nightmare. If you can, take the T instead, and walk from Kendall (it's under 5 minutes), or get an Uber.

Rambler Elk: I recently visited Nubar and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food, despite the limited options on the menu.My companion and I ordered the salmon and shrimp linguini, and both dishes were truly amazing. The flavors were well-balanced and the ingredients were fresh and delicious.In addition to the entrees, the popovers and flat bread were also noteworthy. However, the atmosphere at Nubar left something to be desired. The lack of music created a somewhat lackluster vibe, and the cocktails were not up to par with the quality of the food. While they were drinkable, they were not particularly memorable.Overall, I would definitely recommend Nubar for the food alone. The salmon and shrimp linguini are must-tries, and the popovers and flat bread are a nice bonus. Just be prepared for a less-than-exciting atmosphere and average cocktails.

Seth Gertz-Billingsley: Typical hotel restaurant. They had gluten free burgers that were phenomenal the first time we visited and only average the second two times. Clam chowder is alright, but would not order again.

cheryl gersh: Went for Thanksgiving buffet. Very average food. Turkey and mashed potatoes were on the dry side. Pastries did not taste homemade. Food displays for desserts were messy.Servers did not clear off dirty dishes from dessert at alll.

Sharon: Great spot! I went to Nubar after an event and this place is very pretty. Bar was cool- had the Bruins game on which is always a Plus in my book haha! Got the Classic Burger w shoestring fries and it was yummy!Parking: There's an attended lot adjacent to the restaurant/hotel.

Hubert Murray: Food fair to mediocre. Water waiter excellent. Head waiter rude and apparently in a hurry as if we were on a production line. 3 stars a little on the generous side.

C Fujima: Clam chowder was ok, but could be a little warmer. Steak was overcooked and dry and the same for the sprouts; impression is that it was sitting on the grill waiting for a customer

Rudy Donalson: Absolutely amazing

Benjamin Kirkup: A lively, cheery, active hotel restaurant and bar, with well regarded flatbread/pizza, a range of necessary food, good bartenders. A little off the square but not in the residential neighborhoods.

Catherine Dorian: Creative cocktails and delicious, authentic middle eastern fare. They were more than accommodating of our party of eight and of my vegan diet.Mezza plate is divine; some of the best hummus I've had in the Boston area.

Jeri Thys: We had a party for our wedding weekend here with about 50 plus guests. We worked in advance to set a menu and the manager was superb. We were able to section off an area and it was all excellent. They worked with our budget, made suggestions and almost everything was passed except for 2 stations. We love it here!!

Ayesha Trips: Good food waiters are very kind recommended
