What People Are Saying About Cambridge Brewing Co

In Short – A logical after-work watering hole for Kendall Square techies, the cavernous bar also hosts clean-scrubbed MIT grad students and couples coming straight from the nearby Landmark Theatres. Live music is hosted on occasion, and there's a shaded outdoor patio. Beer lovers select from a varied in-house selection of four microbrews and a rotation of more than 50 specialty and seasonal brews. Noshers enjoy upscale bar fare like brick-oven pizzas and Asian chicken salads.

Horrible Service!
by chendric126 at Citysearch
My boyfriend was reluctant to go to CBC as he said the service is usually terribly slow. However, since it was 2:30 in the afternoon and likely not busy, we decided to check it out anyway.
I should have listened to my boyfriend. The service was horrendous despite the fact that it wasn't very busy. We were just about to get up to leave after waiting more than 45 minutes when our waiter came with our drinks and took our food order. Our food was cold when we got it, which made for a less than enjoyable meal, but there was no way we were sending it back at that point! We asked for the check when our food arrived so that we would have to wait an extra half hour for that, but he still managed to mess that up too. Yikes!
On a positive note (the one positive note), the pale ale was good. Lesson learned: stick to the bar.
- Pros: beer
- Cons: terrible, slow service; cold, mediocre food

Busy, but worth it! May want to take Pepto before you go!

My husband and I were visiting Boston and Cambridge and went here for dinner on a Friday night. It was packed but we some found out why! We had the nachos which had nice homemade chips, fresh salsa, beans, corn and cheese - very good way to start out dinner. For my entree I had the asian chicken salad. It was pretty good; a little dry at first, so I asked for more dressing, which the waiter happily gave me. My husband got one of the pizzas with pepperoni, sausage and red pepper flakes, along with one of their in house brews. Everything tasted delicious; the crowd was pretty friendly and the service was prompt/helpful without being overboard. Unfortunately my husband got sick that night...maybe it was the combination of the brew with nachos and pizza? Not sure. I was fine, however. I think it was a fluke but you may want to take a precautionary dose of pepto before eating any of the pizzas!
- Pros: Service, decent prices
- Cons: Busy
