Charlie's Kitchen

Classic Harvard square restaurant. Grabbed a late night bite here and ate out in the street side COVID igloos. Great experience and happy with the food. The Guinness burger was a little unexciting but the chefs favorite was great as well as the mozzarella sticks. Service was great and I liked the ability to eat outside in December.

Hole in the wall in the Cambridge area serving burgers, chicken, fish and $1 oysters. They have a deal for 50cent oyster for the first dozen ordered from noon to 5pm and from 9pm onwards They also have outdoor seating. Fish and chips were $15 with fresh cod lightly battered and fried with a side of fries and coleslaw. Double cheeseburger was ordinary and ok for $10 with a side of fries. Food was good and cheap while the server was friendly and efficient.

Love it here for cheap burgers and beer. Was an off visit this time as service took 1.5 hours to wait on us. Understanding that most places are short staffed, and it seemed some waiters were being trained while there. This time we sat on the outside and wait time was much longer than visits past (I love nearby and am usually there once a season). Seemed to be the newer wait staff as kitchen had dinner out in 10 or so. Just be aware of peak nights .

Went for lunch today. Great, dive-y atmosphere, though you can tell it's more of a 'late night' spot for drinks. Had the bacon and blue cheese burger. It was a solid burger. 2 small patties, nicely grilled. Not very seasoned. It was an okay burger for an okay price (12 dollars in Cambridge for a solidly sized burger isn't bad), and the fries were okay too, though did remind me of McDonald's. Burger didn't come with sauce/mayo, and wasn't dripping with juices to really justify it not. But, once again, I'm a cheap college student. You get what you pay for, and Charlie's Kitchen is servicable for the price.
