Miracle of Science Bar + Grill — Restaurant in Cambridge

From the outside this place looks amazing, when I came in the music was on point the staff was friendly and 3 of us were able to be seated even though place was packed. I really enjoyed the ambiance. I was the last to arrive and one of my friends told me they didn't have a paper menu and that instead their menu was on the wall in the form of a Periodic Table if elements... not gonna lie, given it's proximity to MIT and the name of the place I found this be so cool and dope and highly appropriate.

Listen, I'm going to be real with you- I enjoyed the space and the vibe... but the food, or what I had, wasn't the best Mexican food I've had. I'm leaving an honest review so that others know what to expect and hopefully the store can improve! Here goes:

I had the Fish Tacos and Quesadilla- the tacos were good but a bit bland, the cabbage slaw was bitter, however they were very generous with the amount of fish they put in it. The quesadillas were alright. My friend had the Veggie quesadilla and we both shared the same sentiment. Great late night munchy with friends.

A friend had the Kale Salad and said it was phenomenal but the turkey chili was watery but tasty.

I gave 4 stars because although the food was not top notch the staff was friendly and the grill master was type cute. I did not try the Bar side of their Bar and Grill and that's on me- I mean seriously, who goes to a Mexican inspired place and doesn't have a beer...

All in all, great space if you're looking for a drink and some light snacks, I wouldn't go here if you're looking for a full...

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. My friends and I received inhumane treatment here last night. Four of us went in to watch a sporting event. Three of us ordered beers, and the fourth didn’t bring her wallet so she did not order anything. After a few minutes, our waitress brought us our check and said we had to get out. I was very confused as I had just started eating my burger so I asked her if there was a time limit for the table. She said no, and that we had to leave because our friend who didn’t bring her wallet drank beer at the table. This is a straight up lie. When we said this wasn’t true, the waitress started screaming at us in an incredibly demeaning way. We asked to speak with a manager, and he came over and treated us just as aggressively. Once again, we didn’t do anything wrong so this treatment was absolutely ridiculous. The waitress then took away my burger that I had not yet finished and forced us to pay and leave. We obviously did not tip and left the note “why so rude?” on our check. When we walked outside a different employee who had just cleared our table came running after us asking why we didn’t tip. We explained what happened, and she informed us that our waitress had told all the other staff that we had brought our own beers into the restaurant. This is also untrue. The false accusations and maltreatment or customers here is very creepy. I hope something is...

My girlfriend and I stumbled across this place completely by accident at 11pm after a concert. It was the happiest accident in a long time. The environment is upbeat but casual, with friendly staff and a unique vibe. Their menu is a chalboard in the form of the Periodic table--and boy is there some good food. My veggie quesadilla was HUGE and jam-packed with cheese and and and finely chopped zuccini, mushrooms, peppers and onions with a hefty side of salsa. My (insanely picky) girlfriend ordered the burger, medium-rare, that came with a side of homefries. She has not been this excited about a burger in a long time and is already planning our next trip back. The burger was perfectly cooked amd served on a fresh roll. The homefries were also delicious: perfectly cooked, crispy, and flavorful. I always compare restaurant homefries to my own and these were quite close. I would HIGHLY recommend Miracle of Science to anyone looking for a quick bite of great, inexpensive food at a unique place. Will...
