    Our favorite meal hands-down in Boston, the attention  to detail and culinary skill shined with each dish and drink. All staff from the host to the bartender to folks on our way out were fantastic. We are the biscuits, the beet salad, the chicken sliders, and the burrata is the best we’ve ever had.  Next time we’re in the area, we will be back!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Vibe — Bred in Kendall Square Does NOT Miss If you’re looking for a spot that delivers on flavor, atmosphere, and creativity all in one, Bred in Kendall Square is exactly where you need to be. I went in with high expectations and left completely blown away. Let me start with the burgers because they deserve their own moment. The Maui Burger is hands down the best burger I have ever had. I’m not exaggerating. The flavor, the build, the way everything comes together is on another level entirely. This alone is worth the trip, but we were just getting started. The Sliders were next level, the Shrimp and Grits had that deep, soulful richness you hope for but rarely find, creamy and perfectly seasoned with shrimp in every bite. The Shrimp Rasta Pasta brought the heat and the flavor in the best way possible with tender shrimp woven throughout every single bite. The Nachos were loaded and satisfying and the Green Smoothie was the perfect refreshing touch to round everything out. Every single dish came correct. Nothing felt like filler. The food is made with intention and you can taste it in every bite. Bred in Kendall Square has earned a permanent spot on my rotation. Do yourself a favor and get there soon. Just come hungry and ready to order more than you planned.
