    Award Winning Seafood Restaurant, located next to Alewife Station Cambridge MA.. This is our flagship location, opened in 2000, the heart and soul of Summer Shack. Many of our employees have been here since we opened 19 years ago. With an extensive menu and dozens of specials each day, created under the watchful eye of Chef Del Leandro, be prepared to experience traditional, modern and ethnic variations of the freshest seafood in town. We also have great fried chicken, burgers, steaks and kid friendly dishes.

    With the largest oyster bar in Cambridge, a 65 seat surrounding bar with 9 flat screen TVs, a 1,500-gallon live lobster tank, and twin 80-gallon steam kettles, the Summer Shack in Cambridge offers all you could need for a true New England experience.

    We also have a private function space that can seat upwards of 120 people – this room can transform into whatever you want it to be – we can dress it up or funk it up –whether it’s a formal rehearsal dinner, a birthday party, or a corporate event, we can make your vision a reality!
