Heard a lot about Roxy's Grilled Cheese and finally decided to give it a try. We went in the late afternoon after the lunch rush to avoid the crowd. Ordering is a cinch pretty much, done at the counter and they giv a number for dining in, pretty straightforward. We ordered the double fried chicken sandwich, hot honey bacon grilled cheese, and truffle fries. The counter staff were fine and courteous. No issues there. The ambience has a kind of edgy, cultural revolution vibe, which is interesting but nothing too memorable. I might be going against the grain here and my fellow reviewers but I think this place is a bit overhyped. The biggest disappointment was the double fried chicken sandwich. For something labeled double fried, it lacked crispiness and crunch. It was honestly pretty plain, and nothing about it stood out. I felt like I could get a better fried chicken sandwich from Popeyes or even KFC and that's saying something. What really sealed it for me though was finding some kind of fibrous material in the bun itself. I only noticed it because I was inspecting the sandwich more closely to see what parts were actually enjoyable. I've attached a photo. It did not look like food at all, which was somewhat concerning. I ate carefully afterwards but still had some lingering fear of earlier bites i had but itd probably just go through my systemx The hot honey bacon grilled cheese was also underwhelming. It felt like the hot honey was just lightly drizzled on top and not really incorporated, so you end up dipping parts of the sandwich into it instead. The grilled cheese itself was fine, but nothing special. The bacon was decent and nicely flavored , but that was about it. Surprisingly, the truffle fries were the best thing we ordered. They came out hot and piping, with a solid truffle flavor. Probably truffle salt, but still enjoyable. Overall, pretty disappointed and not a place I'd go out of my way to return to.
This burger was literally to die for. It was so cheesy and juicy. The service was fast. The ambiance was upbeat, there were a bunch of people in there for lunch and there's an arcade directly in store!! The only con is that the seating inside gets filled up fast.
100% will be back! I got the LTO Burger with no onions and it was DELICIOUS. The key? Chipotle Mayo as the sauce - under Dippers on the menu. It's the perfect pairing for the grilled cheese, burger, and fries. We ordered this to a closeby brewery in Cambridge and it was the move. Will be back! The grilled cheese was phenomenal with the chipotle mayo too.
Love the burgers & grilled cheeses! This location also includes an arcade with drinks & games. The arcade also includes a few additional items on the menu. The chicken tenders are really good as well. They're always quick. Some of the games include: mortal kombat, skee ball, hoops, & Mario kart. Very unique & great spot overall for an evening out.
10/10 recommend. It was worth re-ordering this from door dash because someone stole my first order. I ordered the Buffalo tofu melt, & the truffle fries with a side of Roxy's sauce. The melt was delicious- it had the perfect amount of sauce, the bread was crispy, and the veggies added a nice crunch. The truffle fries were SO good and the sauce was a nice addition
Roxy's was always on our list when coming to Cambridge and we came in at just the right time for dinner, not packed but not empty either. We chatted with the staff for a bit to figure out what to get. I will say the space isn't that big but it works well for quick in and out service since you order at the counter and they then bring your food to you. Went looking at the menu their were 2 things that really stuck out to me. The Steak N Cheese, I mean I love Cheesesteak and I love Grilled Cheese. Then the Poutine Tots. Again, love poutine and love tots how do I not. The Steak N Cheese was good. Not up to par with the tender ribeye in a true cheesesteak but still got the job done. I feel like the steak was similar to steak emms if you are wondering. The Poutine was more of a let down for me. The tots were good but the curds were over cooked for sure to the point that I didn't even realize there was cheese in those fried balls. To save the tots the Truffle ones saved them. They were very good, and having some tomato soup as well is always the best. Also their is an amazing arcade right behind Roxy's so make sure to check it out.
Roxy's grilled cheese is amazing! I ordered the hot honey bacon grilled cheese and truffle tater tots. Both were tasty and crisp! They are made with good quality ingredients and prepared fresh. I love stopping here when I see the food truck or when I'm near the restaurant.
Fun place with cute decor (and apparently an arcade? It wasn't open when I stopped by for lunch, though). I ordered the classic three-cheese and it was really good! A bit smaller than I expected but very yummy through-and-through, and for such a low price, too. My friend had the green muenster which was a little mediocre - guac wasn't the freshest and bacon too salty. We also got the truffle tots which smelled so good - and thankfully also tasted great :) A bit too oily but very fragrant, and we wolfed those down quickly. I heard the burgers/chicken sandwiches are also really tasty, too, so I'm really looking forward to coming back to try those out soon!
Grilled cheese was really good and hit the spot, although I do feel like it's a bit overpriced for just a plain grilled cheese ($8). I was a bit disappointed in their vegetarian options and wish they had more fun grilled cheese options without meat. The friends I was with got the green munster sandwich which they loved and said was amazing. Service was great - everyone was super friendly! I do wish they were open a bit later - on a Friday night they closed at 11.
I got the chicken tenders and truffle fries, they were both really good! The chicken tenders was a "side" but it was big enough to be a full dinner meal. I thought they were great, I didn't expect chicken tenders to be so good, since they're known for grilled cheese. The fries were big portions too, and came out hot and fresh. I'd def come back, the prices weren't too expensive either.
I made an online pick-up order and got the poutine fries, steak & cheese grilled cheese, as well as the southern grilled cheese. Both sandwiches are buttered nicely with perfect browning. I enjoyed both sandwiches, although I am not sure if they justify the price. The sandwich is quite hefty and leaves you satisfied. They do get a bit oily but not so overwhelming to prevent you from finishing the sandwich in one go. I preferred the steak & and cheese, although it was a little messy to eat as pieces of steak kept slipping out the sandwich. The poutine fries, on the other hand, were very disappointing. The cheese curd was overly fried and dried up. The gravy was overly salty, making it quite tiring to consume. The fries themselves were okay, but the portion of this dish did not make it worth the price. I would have ordered a third grilled cheese instead. Besides the poutine, the sandwiches were okay, so I would not mind coming back if I am craving a really fancy grilled cheese.
I think grilled cheese is a hard food to really wow someone with. Like don't get me wrong, the food is enjoyable and tasty - but it's not the type of dish that leaves like "I'm really satisfied and satiated with the the money I put down". I think I would be happier if I mentally silo the restaurant as bar food. It is going to be greasier than your typical lunch or dinner so I think it's best if you forget that during a night of drinking. The truffle tater tots were nothing to be amazed with and I barely remember my experience with them. However, I really do remember their milkshakes which were incredible - highly recommend any of their flavors here. It's hard to recommend when you have other great options in Central.

Arcade x eatery mashup with standout American fare. It's been a long time since I've had a grilled cheese, so there wasn't really a baseline. But, the Mighty Rib one I got was super good: amazingly buttered and toasted bread, nice fillings, and plenty of melted cheese. The other people in my group also raved about the Double Fried Chicken Sandwich and Justin's Burger they got. Not to mention the addictive Chipotle Mayo sauce they have too, poured it over everything. This place would definitely be a great hangover cure haha read more
The guacamole grilled cheese was delicious, and the bite of the hot honey one I had was great too! Delicious comfort food in a place with plenty of seating and a full arcade in the back. We stayed for another hour or two after eating playing pinball and other arcade games, which was a great time. I definitely recommend this as a fun way to spend an evening! read more

We went to meet a friend near a computer store I like to visit and he recommended this place because he used to work near by and said it's really good. When I looked on the map I saw there were also lots of other places nearby so off this was packed we still had several good options so we agreed to meet there. Well he wasn't lying, this place was great with possibly one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have ever had, granted it was they honey bacon, so it wasn't just a plain one, but it was really good. So much so that i want to go back just for that, but there are also so many other items on the menu that i want to try that I see myself having a tough decision next time. And the food isn't the only reason we want to go back, but also in the backside of the restaurant they have a whole section of old arcade games I grew up with. From reviews I read that after 8pm they have a cover charge, but that won't stop me. Nostalgia is strong with this one. read more

If you have not been to this place, get there! if you're an 80s kid like me it will hit all the feels. I had the green Munster sandwich, and it did not disappoint, it has a unique and whimsical flavor that hits all the tastebuds at once. The restaurant itself is a front or a hidden arcade that opens after five. Service is fast and efficient and they get it right. The first time also loved the nostalgia of the IBC root beer in the glass bottles. The restaurant makes you feel like a kid again with coin operated machines as well as a dollar bill exchange machine just like the old days. Not like the newer chains that have a card you swipe for every game. there's just something about the sound of a quarter hitting a Steel box inside a pinball machine #cambridge #goguard #nationalguard @sfc_chambers read more

You MUST get the double fried chicken sandwich!!!! The chicken is dark meat and so so juicy. Everything is topped with honey which contrasts with the chicken so well. Could not recommend more!! I also ordered the truffle tater tots which smelled delicious but could have used a stronger truffle flavor in my opinion. It was still very hot and crispy and was a good complement with the chicken sandwich. Only problem is that they are quite expensive for tater tots without much truffle flavor. Overall would definitely recommend this cute place. Food comes quickly and it's perfect when you need a late night meal. read more

Golden-brown grilled cheese was the ideal comfort food for a rainy evening. The melding of three gooey cheeses and slightly crunchy bread was superb. The classic three-cheese won the highest praise; The Central, grilled cheese with sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and pesto, was delicious; and the bacon cheeseburgers had soft buns, juicy burgers, crunchy bacon, and cheese. The fries were fresh and hot. Service was friendly and efficient. Luckily, it was not busy when we arrived since the Cambridge location doesn't have much seating. The retro arcade games were the biggest hit with the kids. read more
Roxy's is the perfect spot for a quick and easy grilled cheese. They have some fun options, including a grilled cheese with fig jam. The Mass Ave location has a cool arcade below, but we just ordered delivery this time. read more

Really good spot and I love all the options, especially the hot honey bacon. Service is super quick. I've used them for some catering opportunities and they always crush it. There's something for everyone on the menu. The inside in allston is a chill, pick up vibe. The Cambridge location makes for a fun date night read more
Disclaimer: I don't eat grilled cheese! I unfortunately don't eat grilled cheese so my review will only be focused on the service, ambiance, and truffle tots I ordered. The service was average and they were quick to make the food. You could taste/smell the truffle oil in the truffle tots for sure - it felt like eating expensive or fancy tater tots - and it was good! Place was clean and average on decor, had a modern theme with the decor and layout. read more
I didn't think that I would ever be impressed by a vegan grilled cheese sandwich but Roxy's got me beat! I had the Vegan Allston sandwich and I swear that the first bite I took brought me to flavor town. I am also surprised that the prices were on the lower side. Most places that have Vegan options for anything in the area tend to jack the prices up but this place is definitely affordable. read more

It's a grilled cheese place with a great vegetarian grilled cheese menu but I eat meat. Luckily Roxy's serves meat and does it well. My fav is the mushroom Swiss burger. Cooked well, mushroom and swiss melt togther to make hamburger heaven. And truffle tater tots to die for! Prices are average for a mid-tier burger joint. Service nice and very efficient. If you're looking for some meat amongst all the vegan/vegetarian options near MIT try Roxy's. read more

Outstanding. I hired the food truck for a company lunch. Every step of the way was fast and friendly, from the request for quote, to my last minute add ons, to showing up slightly early to set up. The guys served over 90 people fast and everyone was thrilled with their meal. The price was very reasonable and they even gave me a tray of leftovers which were gobbled up by those who came fast. We are definitely going to hire them again in the near near future. read more
Excellent place to hang out, it's the perfect nostalgic hang out spot with all the all video games, they have basketball, skee-ball, guitar hero, all the great oldies and if you ask nicely they'll put the PlayStation or Xbox on for you to play video games for free on the big tv. Food is pretty good, mostly burgers and hot dogs, had some putine that was great. These huge drinks were kinda good but mostly ice and kinda mostly show (like look at me I got this huge drink with lights in it). The smaller version is better it's literally the same cup inside. The service here was the worst part, hey sir could I add this in my drink - No. ok we'll can we change the channel to watch the game - No. ummm ok well can I please take this out I hate that - no! Sir yes sir, I turned to the bartender and said wow you guys are really accommodating here you are like amazing, he turns to me and says I know. I wouldn't ever give a terrible review but 2 out of the 3 bartenders could care less for my business it seemed (make and female) the last male was great! read more

My friends and I decided to have a fun girls day in Boston. We found Roxy's and thought it would be perfect when we saw all the yummy looking pictures, since we all love grilled cheese. Sadly, we were all very disappointed in this grilled cheese, and the fries. The grilled cheese was tasteless and bismal. And lowkey a little burnt. The fries were even worse as they resembled the taste of acrylic nail powder. Staff was a little cute tho. All in all do not recommend, the taco place next door looks good tho. read more
