Skampa, located on Cambridge Street in Cambridge, runs a casual spot that leans on American diner staples—roast beef sandwiches, burgers, fried chicken—alongside pizza and an unexpectedly robust salad menu. The house favorites highlight the salad selection: the Grilled Chicken Heaven pairs almonds and cranberries with field greens, while the Greek with Twist loads chopped romaine with feta, chickpeas, and roasted peppers. Beyond salads, the kitchen turns out calzones stuffed with fillings like buffalo chicken or steak bomb, and offers the standard pizza options from cheese to Hawaiian. It's the kind of place where a single menu covers multiple cravings without pretension.
