Cambridge Common is one of my go-to places among friends and family. It's a comfortable spot, and one where you can linger without feeling pressured. I often go late at night just for an order or two of tater tots and a few beers from their excellent drink list, though sometimes I stray from the tots to get what I think are some of the best boneless buffalo wings in the Boston area. One warning: If you order food at the bar, it can sometimes be a painfully long wait.
Pros: Friendly, comfortable spot, decent food
Cons: slow service at times
