Breakfast all day long too, which you don't find at a lot of restaurants. You won't be disappointed.

The best pastrami Reuben I've ever had! The atmosphere is incredibly comfortable; it has a warm and inviting feel that goes beyond just the temperature. read more The best pastrami Reuben I've ever had!

S&S is the kind of place I 'm glad exists, and I have been happy to support them over the years. I 've seen other reviews describe it as a diner. It 's more the sort of sit down restaurant that there aren 't enough of anymore. It 's a real restaurant that isn 't fancy. Many of the waitstaff are older, and in my experience all are professional (if a bit gruff). The menu is that classic kind of American that has a little bit of everything, some of which you 'll like, some you probably won 't (but someone else will), and one or two will be a favorite. I always get the same thing, the the herb roasted chicken. I love it. It 's changed over the years but it 's been consistently good. So if I have so many positive things to say, why such a negative review? I made an attempt to go recently. There were 3 of us, and coordinating took some effort. S&S closes early. 7 pm has been the last seating for a while. We left work at as soon as possible, but that 's 5:30 pm. We rushed home, got in the car (we live in East Boston), and drove over, arriving at 6:45 pm, in time for the last seating. Except we were greeted by a sign on the door stating that the kitchen now closes at 6:45 pm. We walked in and asked, technically we were there at 6:44 pm, but were informed the kitchen was closed. So we left. 7 pm was tough, but closing the kitchen at 6:45 pm on weeknights is unreasonable. But more than that, it was just the sense that they don 't care about our business, about the customer,  about us. I realized as I was walking out the door that S&S just isn 't for me anymore. 1 star is the most appropriate rating for the experience I had (food, service, and atmosphere). Thanks for the memories over the years S&S. I won 't be back. As a general rule when a restaurant demonstrates to me that they don 't want to be in business, I do my best to accommodate them.

I brought home a piece of delicious 5-layer chocolate cake. Couldn't ask for a better experience! Will definitely be back, S&S will be my reason for going to Cambridge!
