Grilled cheese was really good and hit the spot, although I do feel like it's a bit overpriced for just a plain grilled cheese ($8). I was a bit disappointed in their vegetarian options and wish they had more fun grilled cheese options without meat. The friends I was with got the green munster sandwich which they loved and said was amazing. Service was great - everyone was super friendly! I do wish they were open a bit later - on a Friday night they closed at 11.

My friends and I decided to have a fun girls day in Boston. We found Roxy's and thought it would be perfect when we saw all the yummy looking pictures, since we all love grilled cheese. Sadly, we were all very disappointed in this grilled cheese, and the fries. The grilled cheese was tasteless and bismal. And lowkey a little burnt. The fries were even worse as they resembled the taste of acrylic nail powder. Staff was a little cute tho. All in all do not recommend, the taco place next door looks good tho.

Terrible experience! My 40 year-old boyfriend was denied entry on his birthday, simply because he presented a LEGALLY VALID paper ID. Despite explaining that it was issued after registering for his Real ID, the pompous, rude, and dismissive bouncer refused to let him in. Absolutely ridiculous and discriminatory. We'll never be returning and will be warning others to avoid this establishment at all costs.

Finest ingredients on simple classics. Decor is punk kitsch and there’s some old style arcade games too. Not a ton of seating.

Great atmosphere with vintage arcade and arcade bar. Then shakes and fries are delicious, the grilled cheese was pretty good, but I felt a little pricey for the quality.

When we arrived, it was empty and we were able to place our order right away. However, within 10 minutes they had quite the crowd at the front of the restaurant. Still, there was plenty of seating and I found the decor to be fun. The restaurant and bathroom were clean.My teen daughter and I loved our sandwiches and found that they had the perfect crispy on the outside . They were messy to eat because of how generous they were with the meat. We enjoyed the fries, which had a slight garlic Parm flavor. We did wish that there was salt and pepper at the table. The milk shakes were a great consistency and flavor. They tasted exactly like their names.Kid-friendliness: Arcade games
Everything was great except for the rude chubby bouncer that was there last night (1/13) at around 8:30/9 pm.

Really good spot and I love all the options, especially the hot honey bacon. Service is super quick. I've used them for some catering opportunities and they always crush it. There's something for everyone on the menu. The inside in allston is a chill, pick up vibe. The Cambridge location makes for a fun date night

Golden-brown grilled cheese was the ideal comfort food for a rainy evening. The melding of three gooey cheeses and slightly crunchy bread was superb. The classic three-cheese won the highest praise; The Central, grilled cheese with sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and pesto, was delicious; and the bacon cheeseburgers had soft buns, juicy burgers, crunchy bacon, and cheese. The fries were fresh and hot. Service was friendly and efficient. Luckily, it was not busy when we arrived since the Cambridge location doesn't have much seating. The retro arcade games were the biggest hit with the kids.
Roxy's does a solid grilled cheese in multiple varieties. I got their hot honey bacon grilled cheese that was pretty good but I wish was more evenly covered with hot honey. Their truffle tots are fantastic. The store sits right above their arcade, which is reflected in the several claw machines and arcade games located upstairs. The arcade usually has a long line on weekends but those wanting to order can just bypass the line.

This place is great. It's a place with great food, and a secret fun place. Lots of games, and entertainment.
Roxy's was always on our list when coming to Cambridge and we came in at just the right time for dinner, not packed but not empty either. We chatted with the staff for a bit to figure out what to get. I will say the space isn't that big but it works well for quick in and out service since you order at the counter and they then bring your food to you. Went looking at the menu their were 2 things that really stuck out to me. The Steak N Cheese, I mean I love Cheesesteak and I love Grilled Cheese. Then the Poutine Tots. Again, love poutine and love tots how do I not. The Steak N Cheese was good. Not up to par with the tender ribeye in a true cheesesteak but still got the job done. I feel like the steak was similar to steak emms if you are wondering. The Poutine was more of a let down for me. The tots were good but the curds were over cooked for sure to the point that I didn't even realize there was cheese in those fried balls. To save the tots the Truffle ones saved them. They were very good, and having some tomato soup as well is always the best. Also their is an amazing arcade right behind Roxy's so make sure to check it out.

Bouncer made me dump my water bottle prior to entering due to a sign that says "no outside food or drink". And responded withW"we serve water inside too"
