Hungry Mother (CLOSED)

This adorable spot manages to combine a commitment to sourcing ingredients locally with inspiration from far away—specifically from the base of the Mississippi River Delta. The concise menu bursts with Southern tastes and flavors, from crispy grits to cornmeal catfish with dirty rice. Conveniently located across from the Kendall Square Cinema, dinner here before 6pm will result in discounted movie tickets—Hungry Mother will even pick them up for you.
