The Coast Cafe

The food is so so. If you’re looking for BLACK black grandma’s soul food, unfortunately this place isn’t it. The fried chicken lacked seasoning and still had hairs on it!! I stopped eating it, folks burn those off in my community. The catfish was also low on seaonsing. The Mac is okay but it’s not all that, the greens are good but basically taste more like water than greens. The sweet potato pie is also on the barely flavorful side, doesnt taste like cinnamon, nutmeg, or anything was added. This is a great soul food spot for a person from Cambridge, however you want to interpret that. It feels very church plate esque. Cost wise, this place is expensive for generally ok food. $30 for barely seasoned catfish and two sides is a lot to me, but again, this is Cambridge. Further this place ha

I was looking forward to trying this place based on the reviews, but the food didn’t live up to my expectations. The chicken was over fried and lacked flavor, and it tasted like the oil may have been old. The mac and cheese was also on the dry side, collard greens were good, and best part of the plate was their cornbread. . Overall I give my plate 7/10..

Coast cafe review I paid $95.05 altogether for a total of 6 pieces of chicken 2 large sides or rice and peas, 2 large sides of Mac & cheese and one side order of collard greens. And a box of large chicken wings smaller ones with about 10 small pieces. The Mac and cheese now has a synthetic cheese taste to it the formula has definitely changed. The wonder bar was not on the menu which has been my go to treat. I waited over an hour for my food, and even if you order in advance you are still going to wait for your food. There is literally zero parking which adds to the wait time. I do not know what’s going on with The Coast Cafe but I am no longer recommending this restaurant. Whilst the chicken is still incredibly delicious everything else is too negative to rate my experience as positive.

Totally delicious! The fried chicken is WOW, crispy, fresh, and juicy. The collard greens are perfect, and the mac and cheese is pure perfection. The crispy catfish is spot-on, and the sweet potato pie is the best I’ve ever had. On top of that, the owners and staff are exceptionally kind. Tiny cute spot probably best for take out then planning to dine in!!

This is a solid soul food restaurant! Their fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and vanilla cake are very good. The collard greens and cornbread are ok. Small restaurant dining room so probably best to take out.
