Richards took over the old Tupelo space: and if a legend has to be replaced it’s best if it’s replaced by a restaurant that does its predecessor justice and more. In its early days, Richards is already bringing a combination of creativity and affordability to the local restaurant scene.

I was so thrilled to try this new place and discover a new favorite! In addition to a helpful and friendly staff, the food is spectacular. It's hard to say what the best dish was: the rich, filling mac and cheese that feels as cozy as flannel pjs on a snow day; the mushroom medley so perfectly cooked that several members of our party immediately bought truffle oil to try and reproduce it; the meaty pappardelle that felt like it had been rolled out mere moments before being cooked; or the HEAVENLY pumpkin spice ice cream. I am already planning on ordering from them again next week!

This is a really outstanding spot in Inman Square, currently open for takeout. We had a big meal of appetizers, entrees, and dessert and every single item was above and beyond in terms of quality. The onion rings and fried broccoli in particular were the best I've ever had. My main course was the dry-aged burger and my girlfriend had the fried chicken sandwich, both of which were really excellent and distinctive compared to others we'd had. This is not just your average bar food but a real gourmet experience. Don't miss the home-made ice cream for dessert, either - delicious and fresh, almost like you'd made it at home yourself.

Always excellent food at Richards. Even getting a steak delivered turned out to be delicious and perfectly done! I've also never liked onion rings until I tried Richards'. Great selection of gluten free options.

If you haven't eaten at Richard's yet, you are missing out. This place is a hidden gem in Cambridge with extraordinary food, delicious to-go cocktails and outstanding service. Especially at a time when restaurants have been hit hard by COVID-19, Richard's is going the extra mile to make sure patrons are safe and satisfied. The burger is delicious, the fries are crispy, and the mussels and corn salad and grilled peaches are all done to perfection. They'll plate your food beautifully in to-go boxes with colorful travel coffee cups for cocktails - and unlike other takeout, their food really does travel well. If you're looking for an at-home date night or just some gourmet food with a neighborhood vibe, this is the place to go.

Ordered take out - fried chicken kids meal that came with fries and macaroni and cheese. Such big portions for a kids meal. The chicken is so moist and seasoned fries were delicious along with macaroni and cheese. One of my favorites. Boyfriend ordered the cheeseburger (which I took some) so good and so filling. Will definitely be back.

Delicious food, good service, reasonable prices. Love this place. The owners really care about quality. Check out date night on Wednesdays too, it’s a great deal.

I had a great experience! The place is comfortable and relaxing. The food refreshing! I highly recommend their homemade ice cream and the Heartbreaker drink! Glad I finally went. Will be going again!
Really really good food and a great vibe. The duck was excellent, as was everything else. I'll be coming back!

I like to think of myself as a foodie (though of course everyone has their own definition!) I tried Richards with a friend on Feb 7. It was the best meal at a "new" Boston restaurant that I have had in a few years, and the best meal that I have had in the past year in general. We had the spinach salad and duck that is on the menu currently, and then the appetizer and fish entree specials. All had really great flavor. The space is casual and our server was friendly.

We went for the Jeff Jam event and had drinks and food. It was super fun, the food was delicious, and there were super cool people running the place who made sure that the setup and number of people at the event was just right so that the kiddos and grownups would be comfortable and enjoy themselves.
