I've been coming here every 2-3 months since the early 2000s and it hasn't changed. Still better than average pub grub (the salmon burger I had today was good, although the basic salad instead of fries was really boring with almost non-existent dressing). As the oldest brewpub in the Boston area, they've continued to up their brewing game and make an excellent and constantly changing variety of beers. This past weekend was their Sour Fest, and since I missed that, I ordered a flight of 3 small pours ($12.75) of the sours they still had remaining (photo). They were all good, but I particularly liked the "Time Curve Prelude #1" Biere de Coupage with berries and black currants, which was the most sour.

Good food, great service. Don't recommend the poke bowl, but the Korean fried Chicken burger was very good.

A Standard BearerI’ve been a patron for the better part of six years since moving to MA and working in Cambridge. A great haven to sample their brewing creativity, as well as satiate the appetite with an under-the-radar menu.CBC has sustained itself as a landing pad with unique brews, mouth-watering eats, and welcoming staff.First timers quickly become long timers. A Standard in Kendall Square.

Cambridge Brewing Company is our go-to restaurant for all family celebrations - birthdays, graduations, etc. The beer is outstanding and the food delicious. We've been going there for decades now. It can get incredibly noisy when full, so we tend to go early on a weekday before it fills up.

They would great to accommodate our large group on a Thursday night. Our server was outstanding and made separate checks for each person. Such a fun night with great food and beverages. We will definitely come back!

Don't come here if you're trying to kill time and just want a single 4 ounce pour. They'll force you to order a pint or a flight. What a waste of my money.
Kicked out after 1 hour saying they had a reservation. Place was half empty. Guess we didn't order enough drinks.

Great cubano and poutine and awesome beer selection. Wish had more to go options in cans as some great stuff! Def will be back!

We went to their Fall Feast event for the food/beer pairing menu and it was excellent! Great food/beer for the price and pretty big portions. We especially loved the first pairing of the corn ribs and the Heather ale, it was a light and tasty way to start off the meal. And the BBQ chicken from the smoker tasted incredible - crispy on the outside and very tender. We did get our food way before we got our beers, but it was really busy and our server was hustling. She was really nice and super helpful. We'd definitely eat there again and hope they do another tasting menu!

Just had a great experience sitting at the bar with Carolyn the bartender! Beers were really terrific, burger was on point. Definitely on my nice list!

The calamari starter was good: the sauce is sour and creamy. I didn’t like the artichoke. ?Waiter was taking too long in every step.
Great brews
