Charlie's Kitchen

Very genuine place! Staff is so kind and funny and food especially burgers are great! To be visited! They also have gluten free beers !

Get the burger ! Went here before a concert and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. We were pressed for time and the service was good and quick. I've been thinking about the burger ever since!

Charlie's Kitchen has the best jukebox in town . It's upstairs , though incidentally, they also rock a solid patio upon which to drink and eat double-lobster-roll-for-$12 specials during the day. Read more

I love it here. It's dive-ish, has a punk rock feel. It managed to be alway full and yet relaxed. There's a lobster sandwich that makes my water. May it exist forever. Go there, so it does!

I really enjoyed the double guacamole cheeseburger with the chips and salsa .. Just mash it all together to make a massive burger ... Definitely sit I. The beer garden if the weather is nice!

The reason you want to eat here is because it’s an old-style, greasy spoon restaurant bar . The food is tasty, service is fast, and environment friendly as hell. Many good times had here.

This Harvard Square mainstay includes a sidewalk patio , an upstairs lounge boasting “the best jukebox in Cambridge,” and a year-round (weather permitting) beer garden offering 18 draught beers . Read more

Fast service , great food & music . Ultimate grilled cheese lives up to the name, a full meal without being over the top.

This place is a gem. You can't beat the atmosphere and food for their prices! They have an entire menu page dedicated to kale dishes. Phenom!

Get the upper classic if you want a fantastic burger that has bacon on it. Otherwise, their double cheeseburger is also the bomb.

Get a variation of the bacon double cheeseburger with the chorizo mac & cheese "bun ." Top the whole thing off with guacamole for a dollar extra, and you'll be living life right.

Handsome and dashing local roustabouts host award-winning karaoke here: excellent singers , no attitude, and an ever-expanding library of songs; Tuesdays at 10pm! Enjoy!

Charlies Kitchen is awesome, the lobstermelt is yummy so is the double craburger. They have great double burgers and the waffle fries are awesome too. Plus a good beer selection . A place for young adu

Now let me keep it simple. A mean burger . But to elaborate it's not close to the Dosa at the Taj in Maine.

Charlie's Kitchen is part old-fashioned diner , part old-fashioned dive bar . They've got one of the best juke boxes in town and their famous meatloaf pairs nicely with a cold, cheap beer . - IFC Staff

Fish and chips are excellent the lobster is like 15 bucks cheaper than red house next door. Wear your cool clothes , it's got that vibe.

Steve Seabury, author of Mosh Potatoes heavy metal cookbook , recommends the Double Mega Angus Cheese Burger and the Double Bacon Blue Cheese Burger . Oh yeah, did he mention they have beer fries ? Read more

Find the small staircase next to the bar , and head upstairs for a unique experience. Surprise! -- Charlie’s harkens back to Harvard Square's hardcore and punk roots. Read more

Love avocado poppers, waffle fries , mozzarella sticks !!! Wachusett a blueberry

If you’re not planning to get a burger , this is not the place for you. Patio , beer garden , downstairs, and upstairs are all dope. Really nice staff .

The food is cheap and the scope is impressive – from burgers , to chicken to seafood . But what they are best known for are their lineup of double-decker burgers , including a tasty “Hawaiian.” Read more

Double cheeseburger with American, side of beer fries ... all for under $10.

Excellent place with good beers and nice atmosphere. We didn't try the food but it looked delicious.

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Sit down, get a shot and a beer , order the famous Charlie's double cheeseburger , and shoot the shit with your buddies. Read more

Beer garden bartenders are very friendly . Great conversation and atmosphere.

Don't wear flip flops. The bathrooms get real gross at the end of the night and you can never tell if your standing in water, someone's spilled drink or a puddle of piss.

Even if you've been here before, you haven't had the complete experience until Helen is your server. She's a true gem of a human being.

Magic words: “beer fries ” 🍺 🍟 💯

A gem amongst the bro bars in this area! Diner / dive like - well priced / strong drinks and killer music . Nice staff too.

the double cheeseburger here is probably one of the best "under-five-dollars" burgers anywhere in cambridge. the meat is juicy!

If the outside bathroom line is long, head upstairs to use the facilities. You'll almost always beat the line !

Go to this retro-cool dive/diner on Monday nights for great local music . Cheap beer , mixed crowd, and in the summer, they've even got a beer garden .

Old favorite, with old-time prices, chicken kebab never varies. The upstairs restroom conditions are unspeakable though

Great sandwiches and burgers , chill beer garden , and amazeballs prices.

Awesome, Awesome spot. Loved the outdoor secret-gardeny patio and fire pits . 3.75 PBR , not terrible.

Burgers are okay. You don't get many fries w the side. But at least they are waffle fries .

Cheeseburgers are good for the price and they have some good crafts on tap .

Old school greasy spoon that really rocks at night with live bands for hipsters and harvard students alike. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts

Burgers are great and criminally underpriced. Fries aren’t too shabby either.

Always a fan of the double Guinness cheeseburger . A little pricier , but super tasty.

Probably the most eclectic mix of people you will find drinking together on a Friday night in Cambridge.

The beer fries are great & their very strong sidecars are better! Ask for extra sugar on the rim to cut the liquor .

Quoth the mayor: "Upstairs is lots of leather and T-shirts of bands that probably don't exist anymore. ... The Beer Garden is a frat house." Weirdest thing? TextMyFood, the text-message order service. Read more

Cheap . Tasty. What else do you need?

Nice outdoor area to have a beer or two in.

Hamburgers are fresh homemade which is a nice departure from the usual pub fare.

Portions are a bit smaller than expected when I've gone, but it always leaves me satisfied and not overfull like most places.

Best bus stop bar in Boston! Waiting for the 66, 72, 74, 75, 77, 78, 86? Go in and grab a brewha!

Get drunk outside and soak it up with a bacon bleu cheese burger . Worked for me.

DOUBLE LOBSTER ROLL , ALL THE WAY. Cheap too for the city .
