I would use a gas station restroom before that restroom! Ugggh!

Dig Time: Service is very questionable. We ordered drinks and just never received them. Sat for about 30 minutes. The young female bartender is very rude and not someone you want to interact with on a personal or professional level. Highly don’t recommend as there are a score of other places to go in the area for drinks. Wings were also dry as well.

Jaye Aster Broder: A go-to college pub, Grendel’s has a nice half-priced food happy hour from 5-7pm when you also order a drink. Grendel’sIs normally busy and a little loud. There are stairs down to enter. While in the basement, there are some windows that let light in. There is a moderate selection of beers on tap and cans as well as some simple cocktails. I would probably discourage large groups from coming here as it can be tough to find a table.

Samantha LaForgia: Decent after work spot! Reasonable priced. Some variety to the menu. Check it out if you want something quick and low key!

Crystal Gonzalez: Their espresso martinis are amazing, as well as potato skins with Mac n cheese. Typically packed on a Friday night but its harvard Sq. The vibes and the music were great, and I did appreciate the public safety notice in the bathroom.

CJW: Bomb spot. Great divey, service industry hang. Rad folks, both those that work there as well as the people who frequent Grendel's. If Mal is on bar, get a green tea shot (Note: it contains alcohol), it is extremely tasty. Best part, it's tasty for any palette; it's not too sweet, not too sour/bitter, great complexities, and absolutely delicious flavour profile. Yummy! Nice bathrooms, good ambience, great music, and all around good energy vibes.As always, please don't forget to tip your servers and your bartenders, in addition to any and every one else that works to provide a wonderful experience for you. ©️ CJWVegetarian options: Various yummy vegetarian optionsParking: It's in Harvard Square so it's generally fairly difficult to find parking. I suggest using public transportation, or park outside of Harvard Sq. and enjoy a short walk to Grendel's. ©️CJW

Jordan Sandman: Best place in the world to work. Period.

Dan M: Pretty solid Harvard Sq Dive Bar with a scent and stickiness that always lingering. Maybe it’s because it’s in a basement. Anyhow they have a great patio set up in the summertime so I like to go then. Only thing is you need to order some food with drinks when dining out there.

Tom: Decent food, but the bartender looked/acted like he'd rather be anywhere else other than work, which I get, but c'mon guy.

Jan Haughey: we were looking for a spot to get dinner before a show at ART, and this was perfect. First time there. Our server was helpful and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised that the meal was half priced due to the time and drink order!

Ilyitch Nahiely Tabora: Solid spot, but bring your own hot sauce! They only have Tabasco and pepper flakes available, no jalapenos. The portions are generous as you can see here. We had a good meal, but they didn't make one Avocado omelette as requested. I wouldn't recommend that omelette either; rather bland. French toast was delicious. Coffee was amazing. Server was super nice and did his best despite being very busy. Glad we came back after so many years!

Craig Whitaker: Been going there for 37 years! A great place for takeout and for eating in. We have watched generations of the Mitchell family run the place. It will be sad if it ever disappears!

Canary Kin: Cheesecake Factory is a favorite across the country. Went to this location Saturday 4/15This location is in a mall and I’ve been here many times over the last 20 years or so.The ambience was nice as always.We had a large group (15+) so had to wait quite a while. I felt like they could’ve done a little better On the wait especially since there were so many empty seats.Our waiter was great. But it’s very hard for one person to handle such a large group. They could’ve probably had one or two more people give him a hand. The menu is vast and always has some thing for everyone.My food came out lukewarm and that severely compromised the dish. (I can’t stand food that doesn’t come out hot). It means it’s just sitting there. I almost sent it back but it would’ve taken forever.Had a taste of one of my family members dish and that came out very nice.Cheesecake factory is one of my favorite restaurant Chains and I’m beginning to get the feeling that this location maybe on the fence. Here are some observations that led me to the conclusion:- The bathroom had napkins strewn across the floor.- The validation parking ticket didn’t work.- Took forever to get drinks then it took forever to get straws- Took forever to get the check.- couldn’t find the lady in the front to validate the ticket. I had somebody else validate it. And it didn’t work.My suggestion is that the manager tightens the systems bit and restore it to its former glory and its true potential.Overall I still give it three stars because some of our dishes came out nice. We had a big group which increases the complexity. Will continue to come back and hoping next time it will be a five-star experience.

Yanick Pierre: The issue with this location is not the staff aside from the managers who are all white. Not sure if this is due to the Pegasus building or the fact that’s it’s Cambridge near a lot of the pharmaceutical companies. But the management diversity needs to be changed ASAP. The reason is the amount of passive comments that are placed on some of the workers is unacceptable. It’s a place of business yes but a place for those who are dinning in then fine if your are the bar then sit and enjoy the tv at the bar with respectful conversation. At this location there is a high Latino population in the floor and in the kitchen. But the location is not what it use to be say 15 years ago. It could be because the dynamic of the mall is changing and This restaurant is the only business that has the culture effect. Truly the waiters and the cooks are like family. They really provide exceptional service. As for the managers not really there won’t who transferred from Prudential and touched whose old and touched the food with her bare hands. Another manager whose nice came from Chestnut hill. Another manager transferred out and reminds me of a Swan who was very very nice but now is at the Prudential. And the general manager I could care less for he is very dry no personality. Matthew was a very nice manager who was very upbeat but transferee to Burlington. There were a few managers who would help out at some of the surrounding locations but I’m not sure how long this location is going to last if there are changes from ownership to have a management that his the interest of they staff at heart. Rather than working them to the ground and glouting. Only time will tell. But the food is great I love that you can customize your order. The Cajun dish should be removed from the menu not a fan.Parking: Good parking

sky boundless: We had a great experience at the Cheesecake Factory. The restaurant is beautiful and clean. Everyone is so pleasant and welcoming! They were very accommodating to our party of twenty. Fast and efficient service made this company gathering perfect. No one had any complaints, all our meals were delicious, flavorful and fresh! The cheesecake speaks for itself, the sandwiches are amazing! Portions are huge. I also ordered the macaroni and cheese cheeseburger which I loved, I had to have it Stuffed, my friends had the teak medal meal which looked delicious and they loved it! We will definitely go back.

cem kilicli: Awful - not clean. I needed ask for 4 times to get a cup of coffee. There are better diners, just choose one of them.

Jason Anthony: First time trying this place as I have walked by it many times and it looked good from the outside. I got the Mexican omelette with potatoes and rice and beans. Sadly, it was lacking flavor in every aspect. My friend also got an omelette and they barely ate any of it because of the lack of flavor. I would advise going to other places nearby.

Jeffrey Ohl: The food is good and the staff are very friendly. There are free newspapers to read if you dine in, as well. The portion sizes are fairly small for the price, however, and the coffee wasn’t the tastiest.

Camille Mazurek: Our server consistently forgot about us and was extremely rude. My coffee was good but both of our dishes arrived cold and without flavor. I don’t normally leave bad reviews, but this was exceptionally poor service and food.

Isaac “I-MC” Williams: Love this place, lovely local couple owns it. Foods great, they really care about the quality. Friendly service! Every place makes mistakes now and then but they always make up for it because they care about the local community and treat everyone like family.
