I grew up and went  to school in Cambridge. This was the spot for chicken. A lot of people still love it. I think the flavor has changed since the remodel. They added a bar where you can get a real drink now. If I remember right it was only a 3.2 beer joint before.  I don't think Donna changed the recipe so maybe they added a new broaster that's not as seasoned? I have no problem meeting girlfriends at the Brass Rail for lunch.
Review Source:Great broasted chicken, hot fried potatoes, (actually broasted like the chicken) fresh coleslaw paired with ice cod beer served in a frosted mug. Â The service is fast and friendly. Â The place is a cute and cozy, complete with fireplace and warm wood work. Â And better yet, the prices, this is serious good value! Â If you're looking for seeds, sprouts and tofu don't bother. Â However if you're looking for hot delicious food from the fryer and served up at a place that makes you think you have just walked into an episode of "Cheers" well you have come to the right place.
And personally, I have no problem with plastic forks, isn't chicken meant to be eaten with your fingers?
