    Try their rotating craft ciders

    I would definitely recommend Daddy Jones! Came here for a work dinner and they were extremely accommodating to our group of 10. The service was friendly and fast. And the food was delicious. I had their chicken gyro and my friend gave me one of her falafels to try. I wolfed down the entire gyro! The one thing I wish they had was cider on draft! I tried one in a can - see the pic- it was OK but not my fave! Regardless, I'm planning on bringing my hubby back. :)

    Came here for date night and my husband asked how we haven't found this hidden gem sooner! Our waiter was so great, service was excellent, food and drinks were delicious. The ambience was nice and loved their choice of music. We ordered the spanakopita, triple dip and rice/falafel large plate. All delicious! Can't wait to visit again.

    Menu (January 2023)

    I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth of the menu at Daddy Jones, which was unique, interesting, and all sounded incredibly delicious! My group of three had the Gyro Souvlaki Platter, Keftedes Sliders (includes 3), Falafel Fritters (also 3), DJ Threeway, and Lemon Potatoes. The souvlaki was definitely the star, and the keftedes and falafel were also good. Ultimately everything was satisfying and the waitstaff was AMAZING. But we felt the dishes all fell a bit short -- they seemed undersauced (I would have loved more than just a hint of the fig honey on the fritters!), and while I love me some carrot dippers, we were underwhelmed by the $16 veggie plate. (I would at least hope for a LARGE portion of hummus when ordered!) The lemon potatoes also seemed a bit over-fried. My friends had been to Daddy Jones before and fondly remembered it, particularly a mac and cheese on the menu (I'm mentioning in the hopes they'll bring it back!). They also did not remember the three TVs on the walls, which don't seem to match the classy, chic vibe. I'm listing a lot of negatives, but overall I did enjoy my visit and I would absolutely return to give it another chance and try other menu items. They also have bingo on Tuesdays at 8PM and trivia on Thursdays at 8PM! Not crossed off my list just yet.

    Greek Salad w/Shrimp

    Nothing particularly special, but a solid greek salad. Not entirely sure the vibe they're going for--pretty classy interior, but three TV screens, two of which had sports and one with anime. Will definitely be back to check out the other offerings.

    Mr Jones and me tell each other fairy tales. We stare at the beautiful women. Pass me a bottle, Mr Jones! Everyone calls you daddy Jones for a reason. Entering Mr. Daddy Jones' establishment you are taken back by the groovy vibe that encompasses the atmosphere. In the back there is a large mural of a cock, i mean Worcester, i mean rooster. Honestly, i don't know how to pronounce that name. Regardless, a beauty mural on the wall and adjacent, a vibrant TV playing Bob Ross showing how to paint your own mural. The restrooms are non binary, so you feel the freedom of not having to be oppressed by social expectations and norms. Daddy Jones is above it all. Whatever your pronoun, we are all welcome here. The bar: well kept and fully stocked. No matter your get down; gin, whiskey, vodka, tequila... A spirit for any spirit. No shanking a vato here. Selection is amazing and the pours are generous. Staff is genuine. They love being there and made me feel at home. Had a great conversation with John, bartender. Well versed and eloquent, never shyed away from any topic. Arlett is another amazing bartender, knows her drinks! Asked for a suffering bastard and made this bastard feel like there was no reason to suffer. Hallelujah i been cured! Food: hands down like a dashboard confessional, made me feel vindicated. Loved every morsel of everything we ordered. Honestly we ordered all the appetizers and each were great, but what stood out from the items were ordered; Chris' Burger. The burger was juicy and made to order. Medium well. Nice and color was perfect. The spicy aioli was the perfect contrast between the caramelized onions. The bacon gave it the right amount of crunch. I had to get the name of the cook who prepared this meal, Milton! I asked Milton to come out so that I could shake his hand and parade him with a great gesture! I had to give him a hug because the burger made me cry and i promised myself i wouldn't. Bravo Milton! Mr daddy jones and me starin at the video, when i look at the television i wanna see me starin right back at me. When you come to daddy Jones' you will feel like a movie star. And you will somehow hit with nostalgia without even breaking a sweat.

    DJ is that friend who is cool, but also knows he's cool, so he doesn't try all that hard. But you still love him. Cuz he's cool. We walk in on a Monday evening, ask for a table for 4, and the host points at a few inside. We say, "Are there any on the patio?" "Go back there and look for yourself." Alright then. We go out the back & up some stairs to the patio, and it's pretty packed for a Monday. We find a table and steal some high chairs from others. After sitting for a few minutes, we realize there are no waiters to be found. So we head to the outdoor bar where you can order drinks and food. This guy was awesome! He gave us samples of drinks so we could make our decisions (which all ended up being Springdale's Pearly Wit which was on tap) and was also super patient despite our indecisive food decisions. After ordering, we received a painted wine bottle with a number to stick on our table and indicate where our food should end up. Then we waited. For what seemed like a really long time. However, the wait was made much better by the beers, nice outdoor atmosphere, and the random 80's flick they started playing on the large inflatable screen (today it was the 1987 movie Mannequin, which we didn't even know existed, but thoroughly enjoyed laughing at). Finally, our food arrived in two waves. Bacon-wrapped dates (hot & tasty! great mix of sweet & salty), spanikopita (flaky & spinachy in the best ways, accompanied by a yummy yogurt sauce), grilled lamb (literally just a plate with grilled lamb pieces, would not consider an actual appetizer), Mac Daddy (mac & cheese with bacon, nothing too special), moussaka (Mmmmm. Those spices tho!), and the sweet potato fries with feta & honey (SIMPLY HEAVEN). We hung out with DJ longer than we were expecting, but the time went by quickly, and overall we really enjoyed it. He's def one of the coolest guys I know.

    So excited for this Athena Burger sided with Sweet Potato Fries, Feta and Honey

    I ame here because this place caught my eye before quarantine and I'm happy to know they reopened. They're ordering set up is pretty unique and is mainly outdoors. You'll be getting up to place your order at the window. Most booths seat 2 which have cool wallpaper backgrounds for a fun time taking photos while you wait. Although packed with an appealing Greek menu I was please to find that they have Dominican dishes which brings me back home to NYC. I'll be coming for that another day. I liked the idea of the Athena Burger, a Lamb burger dressed with LTO, red pepper and feta dip (I skipped the bacon). Accompanied by sweet potatoes fries -- dressed on feta cheese and then they recommended drizzled honey and it couldn't have been better planned. The food was delicious, the beer was good and I'll be back for some Spanish food. Thanks guys my girlfriend and I had a great time!

This is the best tiki bar in Boston/Cambridge area. Probably in the state if I think about it. Legit cocktails. Very, very good food. Veg options. Creative and affordable mugs. An adjacent parking structure (the only one in Harvard Square). The place is unicorn material. I've been here maybe four times over several years. Shame on me for finishing this cumulative review now. The good news is every visit was solid. I've been here as a small and also large party. Sat at both the bar and table. Had reservations and also walked in. Visited in the summer and also winter. Weekends are tough to get in without a resy. It's tiny. And its Cambridge. Weekdays you'll be fine but reserve anyway. It's free. From bar to tables to booths, you're covered with seating. Can they serve a table for ten? Maybe but I wouldn't be that person. Check ahead of time. Drinks are strong. Sometimes sweet but mostly balanced. Food is yummy. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options clearly marked on the menu. Serving dishes and bowls are fun too: skulls/shells/etc. Enjoy this hidden secret. And don't steal the mugs. Buy them--they're so reasonable.
