This place should have a nice shtick. It has the name, the Cambridge location, the "periodic table" menu... but beyond that its just an overpriced dive bar. A server griped at my friend for sitting too far down the bar (dont put a stool there then, eh?), my (veggie) burger was overpriced and mediocre and my friends non-veggie was also overpriced and mediocre, and the beer selection was just enough to get by on. A full bar could have some nice signature cocktails (to, you know, go with the name) or some specialty hard A, but no. There are plenty of dive bars in Cambridge and next time Ill go somewhere with cheaper food and better service.

Tiny bar located just outside central sq near MIT. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and was quickly about to get seated. The wait staff was friendly and took drink orders right away. I ended up spliting a few vegetarian items with some freinds all of which were good. We tired the chips and guac as well as the salsa and hummus plate. Everything tasted good and came out quickly. They have several beers on tap as well but the place is very small so it can fill up quick.

Other than the epic periodic table (on the chalkboard) for a menu (they know their customers: MIT students), you can sit by the window on a warm summer evening (which opens as a garage door). Fun Fact: Bartenders here used to serve all drinks in beakers (until all of them were stolen). When youre done, get on with your groovy self next-door on Thursday nights at Middlesex. Highlights: Ronie Burger (Spicy w/Pepperjack), Skewers.

Food is fine, but overpriced. Service is not great, but I cant really blame them, its a small space and the atmosphere attracts a unique crowd... They have a good draft beer selection and it has a fun neighborhood bar feel, which is why I go back. I can never read their menu (a periodic table in chalk on the wall), but its cute.

The three stars is for the space because its small and has a fun theme. Ive gone twice mainly because I wanted to give it a second chance but beer selection is eh. The burger has honestly no flavor, its really just a grilled burger like at a school BBQ. Service is okay, but overall I would say its hit and miss at best.

Decent bar food. We enjoyed the fish tacos especially. Theres not much of a science theme except for the name and menu on the wall; the food is burgers and American-style Mexican food. There are no printed menus, and the wall is hard to read. Unfortunately, its not the best Mexican food on the block.

If you come here, stay with the burgers. I dont think they are particularly special, but other people happen to disagree with me. If you are going to get a burger, get the spicy one (I cant remember the name now). I would also avoid this place in the winter. It gets a little chilly by the door!

Overly crowded, bad crowd management. The strange shape makes standing around particularly uncomfortable, with servers pushing past you constantly. We waited half an hour for a table only to have the servers give it to another group that had gotten there after us. Will not be returning.

first thing i noticed as soon i walked in was the disproportionate number of men vs women. lots. of. guys. the reason probably is because its feels a lot like a nerdy frat house. i only had a drink so cant make any recommendations other than ... this is not an ideal a date place.

Amazing burger ($11.50 with a heaping pile of blue cheese + home fries) and great beers on tap (Notch IPA, Mayflower Porter). The periodic table menu on the wall is a fun touch, and the staff is friendly and attentive.

I asked for a menu and I had to squint across the crowded room to look at the only one they had, written on the wall. I was gonna order a drink, but the beers on tap were written on some other wall. Burger was okay.

Place has been here forever. Sister to Audubon circle with a similar vibe and menu. Burgers are good, but not as amazing as they once were. The potatoes they serve with it are fantastic. Good drinks and tap list.

Always a fun atmosphere whether its quiet or packed. Delicious burgers and skewers, with interesting and delicious flavors (though the menu is pretty static). Try the double-skewers for their great sauces.

They serve up great burgers and manage to always have some good craft beer on draught. Breakfast is also quite good, Im partial to the breakfast burrito. The restaurant is a fun and cozy atmosphere too.

it¦s a bar for the mit set. you¦ll almost feel smarter for having a beer and a burger here. always a few good selections on their grill menu, you¦ll mostly come for a beer and the atmosphere.

My friends and I come here most weeks after playing soccer and despite being sweaty and gross always enjoy ourselves and the food. The chicken sandwich and a Notch pilsner are my go to items.

Really nice bar especially during the summer when they open their rather large windows. Despite the good atmosphere, location and food/beverage selection it is on the more expensive side.

Came because of the theme. Was disappointed that it was simply a periodic table menu on the wall. Was hoping for more unique menu items or decorations. Nothing noteworthy about the food.

Great flavor and unique menu! The home potatoes are awesome! My family very much enjoyed the burgers, steak, and brunch items. Service was fast and the staff was very attentive.

Quirky little bar for brunch and drinks. Love the period table menu inspired black board. Food is really well thought but think they can invest a bit more on the drinks one.

Their burgers are really big and juicy. The fried potatoes they have as a side are very good as well. It can get really crowded due to the small space, however.

Good food and good beer, not too expensive. The waitress were asking a bit too much if it was allright, but thats okay, at least they were friendly.

The bartender spilled a drink on a customers pizza while she was in the bathroom and they did not let the customer know. Terrible beer list.

Really great bar & restaurant. Delicious food with reasonable prices and seasonally changing beers on tap. Service is friendly and on point.

The Ronnie Burger is great if you like a little spice in your Burger. If they put bacon on it I would likely order it 3 times a day.

Great atmosphere. Good beer and good grub. Staff are phenomenal. This would be my go to place in central to grab a burger and a beer
