Great spot in Kendall square. Had a party of 10 and couldn’t find a place that would take us even 48 hours out. They did and when the T broke down they extended our reservation without issue. Great food. Great beer. Great service. The Schnitzel was perfect!

Overall experience was mediocre but this was mainly due to the food. The pork schnitzel was just ok, and the bacon sandwich was a definite pass. On top of that on Saturday night, they had run out of the dessert special by 8pm.

This was our first visit to CBC on a Tuesday evening. Good convenient location and we were able to get a reservation on short notice. We were seated quickly. Our server was overloaded, but she did a great job. Food was excellent. Not sure if Tuesdays are normally this busy, management could provide another server or two. If we return to Cambridge in the future, we would definitely return to CBC.
