I love that the bacon is thick so it was cooked through and well, and you had something to chew (not bacon flavored air chips. if you know, you know). I LOVED the crispy brussels sprouts with bacon, the flavors were so interesting and balanced, and the brussels were good very well. My partner had the black bean and pulled chicken and omelet. He says the flavors were good, but he would have preferred them separately, it didn't go together as well as he thought. The servers were lovely and fast, and the decor was modern with a comfortable feel. It was a nice day and the sun came through just enough from the windows that it lit up the restaurant in a good way. If you're thinking about it, I say go!

Creamy hummus, pickled yet crispy carrots and cabbage, fritters that are crunchy on the outside yet almost melt in your mouth on the inside. The lentils are super filling. I used to order a platter for lunch every day when I worked nearby. My only complaint is the cost, but at this point, what restaurant doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

I totally get that, but especially when traveling, I want to be able to get food at places that the group I'm with stops at. I ended up getting the Sonoma chickpea salad since he thought it was safe, but the lack of clarity was frustrating. Still a nice spot overall. Very cute inside with lots of seating, unique tables and decor and tile art on the walls.

I ordered the fried chicken wings, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes, and everything was delicious. The food was full of flavor and definitely hit the spot! The only thing I didn't care for was the cake and my little piece of cornbread. Unfortunately, it was dry and didn't have much flavor. Other than that, I really enjoyed everything I ordered. I will definitely be going back -- I'll just stick to ordering the food and skip the cornbread and the cake! Overall, The Coast Cafe is definitely worth trying if you're looking for flavorful, satisfying soul food in Cambridge.

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!

Prices are high for what you get and they keep on climbing far faster than inflation. Food is not hot enough when served so it needs to be microwaved after buying. Which does nothing for the fries; already terrible to begin with. The by-the-ounce specials are ricidulously overpriced. The sandwich station has so many arbitrary rules about what you can and cannot have on your sandwich, that I have given up on it. The grill station tries to push their pre-made soggy burgers and fries, and it seems to annoy them when I order a fresh burger or fries. Dessert section is extremely limited and always runs out well before lunch hour is over. Mediocre cookies that always seem stale, gelatinous pecan pie with hardly any pecans, cake slices smothered with kool-whip, etc. Coffee is absolutely undrinkable. I recommend you stay away and bring your own lunch. That's what I do in all but the most desparate situations.

The Hourly Oyster House at Harvard Square is a great place to gather with friends. Located in the…read morebuilding that once housed another Harvard institution, Herrel's Ice Cream, Hourly is named after the coaches that ran from that site to Boston, departing on the hour. Hourly's interior is high ceilinged and airy and features the eclectic decor that characterizes eateries on the Square. The menu features a range of seafoods for which it is known - from raw bar staples to lobster. We started with a Paul Buisse Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley and a Hendrick's Extra Dry Gibson up (Finally! A Gibson!) The wine was crisp and dry and a perfect accompaniment to the oysters we ordered. Hourly usually has up to 10 oysters on offer from New England and the Chesapeake. We ordered 2 each of the Paine's Creek, East Beach Blonde, Island Creek, Buttercup, and four of the Mookie Blues. Our favorites were the Buttercups and Mookie Blues. Both are from Maine and are larger with a textured brine and crisp finish. The main course was the Roasted Monkfish Almondine served with a cauliflower puree, raisins, caulilini, brown butter, and capers. The filet was meaty, flavorful and roasted to perfection. We also had the Striped Bass which was served on the bone with snow peas, zucchini, squash, and fava beans. Our server was prompt, attentive, and informative and we could not have been more pleased with the service. One of the genuine joys of dining at Harvard Square is you meet other wonderful, interesting people. The table on one side had two astronomers from MIT while the other had four high school principals from Houston. The conversation was engaging and delightful. Hourly has some strong choices for dessert but it sits next door to Mike's Pastry, a Harvard Square tradition, so we opted to indulge our sweet tooth there. Hourly is a great place to recharge and refresh at Harvard Square.
