“Love this place for the local everyone-knows-everyone diner vibe, stop here about once every week or two for breakfast, can't beat the value, great home fries, friendly owners, perfect place for a cup of coffee (or tea) and a newspaper.“
“Visiting Barbers Crossing Road House, affectionately known as 'Barbers,' is consistently an exquisite experience. Last night's visit, marked by a celebration for a friend's birthday, was no exception. Each person in our party was thoroughly impressed with their meals, indulging in every bite with great pleasure.Our server, Autumn, was the epitome of kindness, blending impeccable service with a warmth and personability that elevated our dining experience to new heights. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our enjoyment were truly remarkable.The highlight of my meal was the colossal 2lb prime rib, a masterpiece of culinary art presented in a perfect medium-rare finish. The meat's tenderness was beyond my expectations, melting in my mouth with an almost unbelievable sweetness. Cutting into it, each bite-sized piece was a revelation, bursting with flavors that danced delightfully on my palate.Complementing this meaty marvel, I savored one of their delectable veggie skewers. The vegetables were expertly charred, achieving a tender perfection that harmonized beautifully with the prime rib. It's culinary craftsmanship like this that ensures every visit to Barber's leaves us with contented smiles and fully satisfied appetites.In summary, Barber's never fails to deliver an exceptional dining experience. From the attentive service to the magnificent fare, it's a place that truly captures the essence of a memorable meal. We look forward to many more visits, each promising the joy of discovery and the pleasure of good company.“
“Last night before the Judds concert, we were looking for a place to have dinner. Most places right around the venue were at least an hour wait. We ended up a couple blocks from away at a place called deadhorse hill . It was a small place, not a huge menu but a decent selection of options. The greeter was prompt and polite. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our waitress was attentive and funny with a quick wit. While we waited for our meal, I observed the bartender expertly measuring, stirring and shaking drinks while engaged in friendly chatting with other staff and people at the bar. Our food was great. We each got burgers and fries and they were delicious. When the bill came, there was a 20% tip already factored in. I've seen this done for large parties before but it was just three of us. Apparently it was stated on the menu, I hadn't seen it. I'm paraphrasing here because I don't recall the exact wording but basically they said the reason they do it is so that all staff is paid equally and they earn enough to make a livable wage. I thought that was pretty cool and then it dawned on me, our waitress was truly one of the best I've ever had. In truth, she didnt have to be. Technically, she was already getting her 20% guaranteed. She didnt have to put in any extra effort. The same goes for the rest of the staff. To me, this made it all the more impressive. The backs of the shirts they all wore said, "Don't be a Pickle kicker". Couldn't figure out what that meant so we asked our waitress. She told us that some time ago back they first opened, a young man worked there and when it got busy and he was building the sandwiches and a pickle fell to the floor, he would just kick it under the fridge. When other staff would clean they would find piles of pickles under there. So its a message to everyone on staff to think of each other, take pride in their work and don't be lazy. I thought that was pretty amazing. All in all, if you ever find yourself in Worcester, MA for a concert or event at the DCU Center, go early and have dinner at Deadhorse Hill. Well worth it and a wonderful experience.“
“I found myself in Worcester yesterday and searched for vegan food online and found Belmont Vegetarian among others listed. After seeing several pictures of dishes I decided to go! And I’m glad I did! Belmont Vegetarian (where everything is vegan) was delicious and in heaping portions. There’s a smaller (but still big) container for only $17 and change and a giant container (which I obviously got) for $19 and change. I got BBQ, mac n cheese, rice , beans, and chickpeas, and some sweet n sour steak. They also make their own delicious juice with sea moss. I got watermelon. The place is set up for takeout mostly with only 2 dining tables.Definitely worth the drive from NH!“
“Great place to eat in Worcester. A lot of menu options with something for just about everyone. Portion sizes are big enough to ensure you get to bring food home with you. Some interesting twists on conventional dishes as well. Servers were super tentative and always accommodating. Great place to go with your friends or family. Parking is hard to come by there, however.Parking: Big parking lot but very tough to find a space. May have to wait 10-15 minutes for one to open up.“
“Today I ordered the Monti Cristo Sandwich !!! OMG !!! It was So Delicious that I ate the whole thing . I just couldn't Stop Eating it . I also got one to take Home . The Food at Lou Roc's is Incredible !! And the Portions of Food are big . And the Prices are Reasonable . My Friend and I usually go once a Week . But we will return again Tomorrow . Thank you For Such Great Food .“
“Enjoying Worcester Restaurant Week at 111 Chop House, our waiters Bryce & Sam were awesome! We started with some cocktails and rolls. For an appetizer, we had bang bang shrimp and a cesar salad. The star of the show was the pork osso bucco, which fell off the bone. Great portions for the price.“
“The food is really good. I probably get pancakes every time I go. It's too bad that they're probably suffering from all the work on 20. I believe they're cash only - but it's been a while. The service is pretty quick and nice.“
“Armsby Abbey is a culinary gem nestled in the heart of Worcester , renowned for its commitment to craft beer and farm-to-table dining. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance, with rustic décor and a cozy atmosphere.“
“Good find! Decent food and reasonable prices. Went with a friend. Both got burgers, cooked to order and tasty. Server was very friendly, just seemed to take a long time to get our food. Note that it was busy while we were there. Disappointed the onion rings were of the frozen variety and an upcharge of $1.50, but I didn't ask when ordered. Overall a good place to go, for good food. (FT burger in picture - yummy)“
“I had a great time eating /Drinking delicious food & cocktails at 1885. The waiters and waitresses were committed to great service and were very friendly. The atmosphere was awesome and I definitely enjoyed the very modernstyle. Most importantly, every food and drink on your menu tasted great! If you are looking for an elevated cocktail experience, look no further. 1885 drink menu specials are the best in the city of Worcester.My personal recommendations for foodBrunch- Steak and eggs (potatoes are absolutely incredible)Deviled eggs with pork belly (WOW)General Menu - I just had the chicken, shrimp, steak kabobs… bursting with flavor.Lamb Meatballs (pickled onions just takes this next level)This place is going to make some noise in the city for years to come!“
“We loved this restaurant! It’s so easy to find parking and table without reservations. They are very busy but they are a great team. Nice experience eating delicious seafood. So good that you will feel “light” at the end of the meal. Recommended for casual dinners!“
“One of my favorite cafes in Worcester to study, hang with friends, and have a bite to eat (and sip!) They have a plethora of options for all dietary preferences, making it easy for anyone to find something delicious. My favorite item on the menu is the Vegan JUST Egg bagel sandwich, which is packed with flavor.“
“What a great place. Owner greets you at the door. And it begins. Have been there once before in the warm weather and loved it because besides the food, which was on point, they let my ( well behaved ) dog sit with us outside. Tonight did takeout for six and between the cocktails at the bar while food came out and the nice guitar player, another great experience! Got to love a place where the owner is greeting you with a hardy smile and exuberant hello as she manages the restaurant floor!“
“I love their Snickers Iced coffee! Get one every morning. Irene is the BESTTT!!! I always have her make my coffee for me All the employees there are super nice and friendly!They have so many different flavored donuts!The jelly donut holes are so tasty! ? ?“
Brewery • $$
“These guys brew so many different beers, it's probably my favorite brewery in Central Massachusetts. (Including you-know-who in Charlton). They have an excellent variety of different styles and flavors, and they aren't constantly changing names of their beers just because they lost the recipe. Their kitchen is small, so you're not going for a full meal, but all of their snacks are great. They have a good setup. The only thing to remember is that dogs are outside only - East Brookfield rule, not theirs. Makes it hard when it's colder out. However, they have a covered area outside, as well.They do some cool special things too, like craft fairs, smores cooking sometimes, and other different things to engage with the community. Pretty sure they have a corn hole league, too.Anyways, I highly recommend.“
“Stopped for lunch before going to an event at DCU Center. Intended to go to Boulevard Diner across the street but there was no room. Parkway was a great alternative. We had a group of 6 including 2 children and we were seated and served promptly. Great food and great service and much more room than the diner across the street.Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring kids. Very kid-friendly.“
“We were told that Vintage Pizza had a great BLT pizza. So we stop and tried it on our way home from New Hampshire a couple of years ago. It was fantastic !!!!! Now every time we go to New. Hampshire to visit family we stop at Vintage Pizza on our way home to Wallingford, Connecticut.“
“Such a wonderful place for brunch or lunch!! The staff were very sweet and attentive. We had everything we ordered in a timely manner, the restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious! I'd 100% go again, and based on how busy it was, many would!!Parking: Limited space behind restaurantKid-friendliness: Lots of options for picky kids, sides like single pancake, wafel, bagel, etc.“
“From the welcome, to the presentation, to the atmosphere to the final course, I can't possibly tell you how amazing this dinner was. If you're looking for an enjoyable evening produced by a couple who truly loves what they do, this is the place. If I could give them 10 stars I would!“
“Me and Stephen took the kids to Pinecroft Dairy for Dinner last night. JOCELYN was the PERFECT waitress. Seating areas are small so she said, I have a booth in the corner or we could put two tables together. We thought maybe the booth, but it did not hold all six of us. Before we even saw the seats she said feel free to change your minds. We ended up opting the tables. While we were getting seated she said I know you just sat down, but I'm happy to get you drinks. She never let us wait for anything, asked several times if we needed anything else. This place was packed. Everything came in a timely manner. The FOOD: Best Scallops I've had in a long time. Everyone was so pleased with their food, and everything was cooked PERFECTLY. Prices were great - 6 people for under $100. Thank you PINECROFT!!!! I've been going their for Ice Cream for years. We never went to eat there. What a hidden GEM!!!!! We will be back.Kid-friendliness: I took four children with me ages 7-12. They were treated very well, the waitress was great with them, throughout the meal the waitress kept checking on us to see if we needed anything else.“
“My family and I went on Sunday for brunch and the food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly! My mom wanted something that was not on the menu and they were very accommodating. It was another great experience at Livia’s Dish!“
“Best wedding best memories thank you so friendly every person felt like home can't wait to go back for there buffet brunch or dinner or lunch the restaurant is also great if not attending a wedding unique atmosphere love it there, will be back multiple times a year thank you.Rooms: CleanFood & drinks: Delicious nothing to complain about“
“I LOVE this place! Me and my husband stop in around once a month and it is always AMAZING! My favorite drink is the smoked rosemary whiskey sour. Just be careful because they are STRONG and literally don't taste it. The flatbreads are a true highlight here. A light amd fluffy crust with fresh and flavorful toppings. I also love their coxhina for an appetizer. In general, everything we've had here is so so tasty and the atmosphere and crowd are so welcoming. I LOVE seeing all the regulars hanging around the bar on a Friday night. Such good vibes.“
“There are not many choices for restaurants in the Rutland and Spencer areas. I find black & white has an extremely diverse menu. And it's almost impossible not to find something that you like. Definitely a place worth going to the ean get very busy. Best make reservations if you can. Particularly on weekends. They do have some options such as prime rib that are only served on certain days of the week. Overall, a very good restaurant with lots of choices. I recommend it.“
“We were looking for a place to sit for breakfast that wasn't a diner. I came across this online, and after reading the reviews, we decided to check it out. So glad we did! All the reviews were right! Very good food! Couple things to know: it's cash only, and however, it appears on the menu is how it comes. For example I asked if their 3 egg omlettes could be made with 2 since I know I never am able to finish a 3 egg omlette and the waitress said "not really, they come how they come". I opted for a breakfast sandwich instead, which was delicious, and my husband's eggs and pancake were great, too!Parking: There are about 10 or 12 parking spots. Perfect for a weekday but may be an issue on a busy weekend“
“I've been craving some good ole diner food since I moved out of New England. While waiting for my Dad, to have a procedure done at one the UMass campus's. I decided to stop here for breakfast! So glad I did!! The food was excellent (Corned Beef Hash & Eggs), and the staff, well they are super friendly, and super inviting! The atmosphere is just like that of a nice old-school diner! I highly, highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try!! Totally worth it!“
“Best steak and cheese I've had! This is a place to sit grabb a beer, chill and wait with time for your food. I went on lunch break, so I was in a rush. Definitely will be back with more time, because that sandwich was worth every minute. ?“
“One of Worcester's gems. In the Tatnuck Square burb of Worcester's west end you'll find huge margaritas and authentic Mexican cuisine. You really can't beat this place. Their fried fish tacos are the stuff of legend and the Birria plate entre is heavenly. Go there, spend your money, and leave happy.“
“I had a very yummy meal at the Mill for the first time this week. I had a pulled pork salad and it was amazing! It had a large menu that all looked delicious. It has a pub like comfort and we had a wonderful server too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back!“
“My husband and I went here for the first time, and the food exceeded our expectations. My husband got the chicken Caribana with shrimp added, and I got the haddock stuffed with crab and whipped loaded potatoes. The taste of the food was so good. The appetizers were amazing as well. My husband got the sweet chili chicken tenders, and I got clam chowder. The waitress was very attentive and kind, and the cook is blessed with amazing cooking skills. I hope more people visit this gem because it is so good. The seating and inside of the restaurant is so cozy and laid back.We will definitely be returning.Parking: There is a small parking lot next to the post office, it is convenient.“
“My husband and I sat at the bar. Bartender was great. Very attentive, great personality. Interacted with a few waitresses that were all very personable! Food was on point. We had classic calamari which was cooked perfect and was lightly battered. Very tasty. We both ordered the Nashville chicken tacos and they were amazing! Dessert drinks were delicious! Apple martini and skrewy White Russian. Highly recommend!!“
“I don't know why we didn't go here sooner. Charming place, food was great, our server (Jen) was awesome... Very attentive as was the hostess. Food was excellent... Highly recommend the beet salad. I never get dessert, but I got the key lime pie and it was awesome. My wife would recommend an update to the furniture/decor to harness the old American pub/tavern, the booths are thin. Really enjoyed our dinner. Oh, the live music was great!“
“My Server Liz was very Friendly and Attentive. She took my order in a timely manner and saw to it that my meal was served as ordered. The Stuffed Peppers and sides were delicious and filling. It was convenient because I was attending the Clark Tournament at Oxford High and I needed a good meal during intersession. My Team David Prouty Panthers kicked ass. Jim Messier DPHS Class of 1970“
“We went on a busy Saturday night, it was busy but good. I tried a XO Chocolate Martini, it was strong and basically tasted like straight up vodka with a hint of chocolate. They took that drink back and made me a strawberry daiquiri, that was much better. My sirloin steak tips were cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes were good as well. All in all a great place to eat dinner.“
“I really like this place. We've been here 8-10 times at this point. The food is fairly consistent (I have always liked my meals, but my friends sometimes don't have as much luck). I like their pretzel bites, chicken sandwiches, and burgers - it's a cool touch to have the OBT logo on the buns. Their dessert menu also has a few great options. Drinks are pretty good, and they have cute seasonal cocktails. Service is decent, but I haven't found the host/hostesses very friendly or welcoming - they seem as though they are sometimes annoyed they need to sit people, especially if you have more than 2 people in your party - but maybe they've been having off evenings when I've been there. My only criticisms would be the size of their soft drink cups (which it looks like they have improved, yay!!) and their closing time of 9pm SHARP. If they wish to close at this time, they should stop seating tables a lot earlier than they do. There isn't much communication about last call from the bar (this also includes refills for soft drinks) or last call for the kitchen. One time, we were not able to order dessert because the kitchen had closed - but our waitress never warned us of this. Most recently, we ordered/ate our food in 45 mins, which I think is very speedy, but I still felt rushed by the staff. Our server seemed more focused on cleaning than service, they turned off the music to ensure our quick exit, and stared at us as we walked out at 9:05. I really expected better service for the price of the food. Not sure if I'll be back any time soon, but I'd still recommend them for an early dinner or lunch.“
“I’ve been to plenty of seafood restaurants from Maine, to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc., all the real deals but I can honestly say Ronnie’s is second to none. Family run and the owner - brother’s are doing the cooking every night, the care and quality shows. Never disappoints. Top quality seafood and the home made ice cream tops it all off. A local favorite and really worth a ride in from Boston or elsewhere, for a casual clam bar experience and the best seafood.“
“We ordered 2 bacon cheeseburgers and potato skins. I was very impressed when they asked how we wanted the burgers cooked. We ordered medium and they came out perfect! All the veggies on our burgers were fresh and the bacon was thick sliced with an awesome flavor. We really enjoyed the potato skins as well. My burger was so large that I ate half and will be eating the rest of it and my potato skins for dinner. The food was prepared quickly and it came out sooner than they told me it would be ready. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had the chance to meet the owner and he is a really nice man. Don't go by the previous reviews this place is a hidden gem! The bar has a homey "Cheers" atmosphere. I will definitely go back.“
“First time visiting Bennie’s. I liked the neighborhood atmosphere. Yes it’s small and old but I felt that if I went more often ‘Everyone would know my name’.My husband and I ordered nachos. So good. I only wished there was more salsa served with them. We paid extra for the chicken and it was worth it.I had a glass of Josh Chardonnay and my husband had a Bud on draft.Table could have been cleaned better but I never asked them to re clean it.I definitely would go back. Would like to try some sandwiches or meals.Parking: First come first serve. Located in a plaza. We had no problem on a Sunday afternoon.“
“Went last night with my son before a hockey game. Food was awesome, prices were great, portions were fantastic, and the staff was wonderful.Really a gem for the Greendale area.Ignore the one-star ratings below. If the reviewer can't bother to leave a review when they leave a rating like that, the rating is just bitter and irrelevant.“
“The food was ok, the bread bowl was amazing, the 110 margarita is perfection. My grilled rare tuna was good, a little off putting having a chilled rare tuna steak sitting on hot rice but very nice presentation. My companion had the steak and said it was ok, way overpriced for the ultra thin peice he got. Salad was very good. Service was adequate, nothing great or terrible to say about the waitstaff.I highly recommend the spinach and artichoke bread bowl, it's very good.“
“Food is good, but had to wait an extra 20 mins for my order to be made because it was given to Grubhub. Waitress said they could see if GrubHub will bring it back since the original order was a chicken salad. No discount for their inconvenience. They could have at least waived the convenience fee on using a credit card.“
“We were quickly greeted by a host as soon as we walked in. It was a Tuesday at noon time so it wasn't very busy, but I have seen this place on days where there's a wait and they are still just as attentive and kind. A server came to our table in less than 5 minutes if us sitting down, brought over our drinks and our food soon after. The food was delicious and very filling. The total came to about $26 which included coffee, a side of home fries, a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, and an omelette that came with toast and home fries. In my opinion, the portions were great and well worth what we paid. The overall vibe of restaurant was lovely. At the end of our brunch, the same person who sat us also offered to pack up our food for us. Only thing to note is I wish there were more menu options but it's still great. Would definitely recommend.“
