I ordered the large plate with collard greens, mac and cheese, cornbread, yellow rice and pork ribs. My wife ordered the medium plate with cornbread, collard greens, yellow rice and fried chicken. My wife said she loved everything, my food was amazing but the collard greens were a little bit salty for me. The portions were very generous. I got 3 meals from my order. I would give a higher rating but the wait time for our food was excessive (a little over an hour).

All plates come with cornbread and choice of yellow or white rice, in addition to whatever other sides you want. The restaurant was not very busy as we came right when it opened.

I stopped by Wade BBQ in Somerville for takeout recently. This outdoor BBQ food stall is located on…read morea short cul-de-sac (Sanborn Ct) off busy Washington Street with limited street parking. They serve up a variety of smoked BBQ meats, including brisket, St. Louis ribs, beef ribs, sausage, pulled pork, pork belly burnt ends, chicken, turkey, and portabella "pulled pork" a vegetarian option. They offer BBQ plates, sandwiches, wraps, chicken wings, chicken tenders, fried foods (fries, okra, pickles), and sides (mac n cheese, candied yams, garlic mashed potatoes, rice, collard greens, BBQ pit beans, potato salad, grilled vegetables, & potato salad). The pricing is moderate. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($16.99 plus hospitality fee and tax) served with choice of side and pickles. Since I parked very close to the food stall, I sat in my vehicle (with flashers) for 5 minutes and quickly retrieved my order. The pulled pork sandwich was a good size with cole slaw, tender sweet BBQ pulled pork on a thick soft egg bun. The pulled pork was mostly lean meat, a bit dry, but it tasted just fine. The potato salad was pretty good, which had firm gold potatoes, chopped red onions, celery, egg, mustard, mayo, and seasonings and dill pickle chips on the side. I enjoyed my food in the vehicle before heading back home. I will have to try some of their other meats and sides on the next visit to Wade BBQ.

I was craving some soul food in the Boston area and I found The Coast Cafe on tik tok. Let's just…read moresay I was super happy I did! This place is super cozy with delicious food in Cambridge. I got the mixed chicken plate with Mac n cheese and candied yams. The chicken was very good--fried very well with great seasoning, a crispy exterior, and juicy interior. The Mac was very gooey and cheesy. And the yams were excellent as well. I thought the texture of the yams was near perfect--not too hard but not too soft and mushy either. Also not overly sweet. I also felt like the price was very fair. A lot of times, similar entrees can cost near $30, but this was just over $20 which was super reasonable especially for the quality. The staff was very kind and friendly as well. Keep in mind that the interior is quite small, so plan ahead on whether you're going to eat inside or take it to go. But overall I'd recommend this to anyone in the area, and I'd love to go back!

I ordered from Coast Cafe expecting something special given all the awards and recognition--but…read morethis was a major letdown and honestly felt like a waste of money. Let's start with the "Jamaican" patties. These were not patties. They were empanada-style, lacking the flaky crust, seasoning, and depth you expect from a true Jamaican beef or chicken patty. At $5 each, that's not just disappointing--it feels misleading. Then the soul food. This is where it really fell apart. The chicken was dry, under-seasoned, and surprisingly small--more like an afterthought than a centerpiece. Soul food should be rich, flavorful, and comforting. This wasn't! The greens were another miss. No depth, no richness, and completely lacking the traditional pot liquor that gives them their signature flavor. It felt like a stripped-down version of what should be a staple dish.The only bright spot was the candied yams--they actually had flavor and were enjoyable. What's frustrating is the gap between reputation and experience. When a place has awards and hype, you expect authenticity, quality, and consistency. This didn't deliver on any of that. Overall, I wouldn't return. There are too many places doing this food the right way to spend money here again.

However, I came across a tik tok review that made me give them a shot. I should've followed my first instinct and stayed away. The chicken was pink. The Mac was bland and mushy. The yams were bleh. The cornbread was burnt. Nope. Go elsewhere!

We ordered two soul food plates -- 1 meat and 2 sides for $19 each. I went with the garlic and herb wings, and my wife got the hot honey wings. Both came with about six wings each, and they were so flavorful and meaty! For sides, we both chose collard greens and mac & cheese. The collard greens were seasoned perfectly, and the mac and cheese was rich and delicious -- definitely comfort food done right. Each meal also came with cornbread, which for me was the only miss of the night; it didn't have much flavor and didn't seem super fresh, but to be fair, we went around 6 PM, so it might've just been late in the day. We tried two desserts -- the pound cake and the peach cobbler. The pound cake was a bit dry, but that peach cobbler? Amazing. Sweet, warm, and full of flavor. We also got a side plate of fried catfish, and wowww... that was a showstopper! Crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned -- I'd honestly make the 30-minute drive again just for that catfish alone. All in all, this spot deserves way more attention. You can tell the food is made with love, and with a few small tweaks, it could easily be one of the best soul food restaurants around. Definitely worth checking out!
