Joe Sent Me: Reviews & Ratings
Man! I made the huge mistake of going to a different bar, and I'm on my way to the one and only Joe Sent Me of Cambridge. This bar is like Cheers. Everyone knows your name! Not just the bartenders, but even the regulars. I stumbled into this bar about 6 months ago and have been coming 2-3 times a week. I usually get their quesadilla, wings, or anything on the sat brunch (can't go wrong on that menu). I left for about 2 months on vacation and when I returned the Owmer, Sandy shook my hand and asked where I had been! I felt very appreciated and welcomed. Jen & Steph are great bartenders and will remember your drink after two visits or less! I don't leave bad reviews, but I will definitely not be going back to that other bar. Tell Joe, Cayes sent you! Be there soon! Oh, the fish and chips are great! Had it for the first time a couple days ago. It was so tasty I had to stop and take a picture!
Consistent, quality pub food with reasonable prices! We only go for Tuesday trivia and it's a great time. Great host and atmosphere. A broad mix of ages but primarily college through 30's. They don't take reservations so you need to get there early to get a table.
Just an all around great bar. Not a dive, not a fancy gastropub. Just a good neighborhood bar, with a solid drink menu, good classic bar food and friendly servers who you’ll get to know if you go often enough. One of my favorite spots for bar trivia in the area.
Nice atmosphere, good vegetarian options, fast service, and large portions for a very reasonable price. The coleslaw was a bit flavorless but the burger and buffalo cauliflower were very good good. They were also very accommodating when I asked for a vegetarian version of the appetizer pizza.
I just moved to the area & have eaten here twice already! It's such a laid back, chill atmosphere. The food & service is great. The Buffalo dip & Cuban are my favorites. Although this is a bar, it's a good place for kids too. They burger sliders never disappoint!
Great food and drinks! Nice interior ambience.
Drinks were great. The atmosphere was a whole vibe in itself. Going back this weekend.
It's Joe sent me, I love the food. I've popped in a few times the atmosphere is very vibey and cool given the day! I know trivia night is always a hit!
