First time there, went with my wife and two adult sons. We arrived earlier than our reservation time, but the staff were very gracious about accommodating us. The food was fantastic. The fried chicken and biscuits are not to be missed. The sliders are likewise remarkable. The cocktails are expertly mixed; flavorful, complex, and quite strong. Overall, really great restaurant. Highly recommend.

Great meal. 3 of us ordered 5 dishes,which might have been 1 too many for our group (1 larger eater; two smaller eaters) Typically it can be noisy but they say us at a banquette in corner across from the bar, so the noise level (6pm res) was quite tolerable

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Cambridge, and in the Boston area. The service and ambience is always 10/10, and the 90s hip-hop in the background just elevates the experience. Their ever-changing menu featuring mainstays like the BLT lettuce wraps, manti, burger, Bangkok noodles and cookie dough are always crowd pleasers. I try to make little donkey a stop every time I’m back home, can’t recommend it more.
