We walked in before the lunch rush, had a few questions about the menu that the team was happy to answer, we were able to order, pay, eat and leave within 30 minutes. Great local mom and pop spot. Will definitely be back“

“awesome the food was great and the service was exceptional 100% recommend“

“Absolutely the best N. Y. Sirloin I have ever tasted. It was thick, tender and favorable, served with a chicken-of-the-woods reduction that was perfectly paired with the steak. Reservations are recommended and the place was full within the first hour of operation. It can be a little noisy, but that's to be expected for an restaurant that is as popular as Romaine's. Service was adequate and attentive for the Saturday night crowd“

“Festive holiday drinks last night were delicious and made us very merry. Fantastic staff, service and dinner too. Just what my elf and I needed.“

“Excellent lunch this Saturday.“

“Stopped by this place simply because Boston market was closed but this is DELICIOUS. I ordered the get shorty, which is a short rib Mac and cheese grilled cheese sandwich. Mind blowingly good!!! Service was good, food obviously fresh made, and can’t beat the pricing. I hope they become super popular!!!“

“Red Heat is great with food allergies. My son has severe dairy allergy and Red heat takes it very seriously. They even have a separate, dairy free, fryer.“

“We tried the 111 Chop house’s special wagyu menu last night.

We split the Teriyaki Beef Skewers to start. They were very tender and the pineapple chili sauce added a lot of flavor, definitely would get again!

The pre dinner Salads were fresh as can be with the perfect portions.

My fiancé had the 7 OZ. WESTHOLME AUSTRALIAN WAGYU FILET. Her first time having Wagyu Which she loved! It was perfectly cooked medium rare.

For the first time I tried the A-5 JAPANESE KAGOSHIMA WAGYU SIRLOIN. Of course cooked chef’s choice, medium rare. It was amazing, melted in your mouth like butter!

We had split the garlic mash potatoes and honey glazed Brussels sprouts, with bacon as our sides. Both are to die for!

For drinks we both started with the espresso martinis, which was great. They were a stronger coffee flavor leaning martini. Then we each got a one of their signature cocktails the “Flirtini” which we both loved!

For dessert, we split the crème brûlée, it was so good that we could have each ate one!

This was my fiancé‘s first time going, and my second time and we will definitely be going back!??

Parking: Plenty of parking.“

“Always good service and great atmosphere“

“Love my favorite Athena Omelette!“

“I work construction right down the street and around the corner and needed a quick eat to bite. I saw this place on maps and went to check it out. There was no one inside but the two ladies working in the kitchen behind the counter. One of them asked me what can she get for me and made me an egg sandwich right there. Great service, great food, I highly recommend.“

“There’s always a first time, and for me, it was at this 99 Restaurant in Hudson. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Locals (and yes, I’m using the word just to mirror how Americans affectionately refer to the rest of the world’s population in their native places) probably don’t need an introduction to this chain. But for anyone unfamiliar, think of it as a Chili’s with a bit more dining space beyond the bar or an Outback without the grilled steaks.

The food is solid, with comforting options that cater to hearty appetites. I was curious about what sets 99 apart from similar chains like Applebee’s, and the answer I got was simple: “They think they’re better and charge more.” While neither is glaringly obvious, the menu does offer a few standout dishes, like the Shepherd’s Pie - a refreshing option compared to the usual burgers and fried food lineup.

Next time, I’ll try sitting at the bar - it looks like the kind of spot where this place really shines. For a casual, satisfying meal, 99 in Hudson is worth a visit.“

“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 .“

“The most elegant restaurant in Worcester! And the patio area is a great escape from the city. Prime rib is the best in town and a bargain at $19.99. We highly recommend this restaurant for delicious food, grast atmosphere and superior service. Luciano's has it all!
Joanne and Rick P.“

“Atmosphere is very busy and loud, but good food makes up for it! I might suggest steering away from the nachos if you like meat in yours, or requesting extra meat as it is quite sparse. The Korean Gochujang chicken sandwich was absolutely incredible! Crispy, bursting with flavor, and absolutely huge. The rosemary fries pair very well with it.“

“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!“

“I want to make some suggestions rather than saying I do or don’t recommend this place. I’m familiar with Pepper’s, and I like to support hard-working chefs, especially when they use local farms and vendors. The overall concept of self-service is fine, but I preferred the table service of the old restaurant. It felt a little more closed in, and I also don’t like the paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Real utensils were available, though. The salad choices looked really healthy and colorful, and the menu was certainly varied enough. I saw a frittata being served and it was the size of a half piece of pie, though it looked good. My friends and I opted for soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, thinking they would be more like upscale comfort food. Two of us had the bacon-tomato version, the other had the mushroom. Since they were pre-made, then popped in a convection oven, they were more like melted cheese on dry, light toast, versus the buttery, golden goodness that makes a grilled cheese what its name implies. The portion was small and the fillings meager. If the idea was to make it a healthier grilled cheese, even a drizzle of olive oil might help. The soup was luke-warm, but tasty enough. We shared a dessert bar, which was delicious, with black coffee, which didn’t taste fresh like it had ben sitting a while. Be forewarned that if you pay by credit card, an automatic 15 percent tip is added, though you have the option to change it up or down, if you happen to notice it. There wasn’t much service involved, and you clear your own table. My portion alone, which included the sandwich with chips, a cup of soup, dessert bar, and coffee, plus added tip came to just under twenty dollars. I would give it another shot, but there is room for improvement. We all agreed that the dining experience was at a grade of about C+. Wishing you success in the future... Hope this helps.“

“We hosted a graduation event at the Grill on the Hill in May. The venue location is convenient. The sunset over the course was spectacular. The service was top-notch. Food was excellent. We worked with Bria on all the details for the event. She was responsive, friendly and fun! Definitely recommend the Grill on the Hill for your next event. The weather allowed us to move back and forth between the function room, porch and sand pit. A really fun experience for everyone!“

“Food was fresh and delicious, but I really wanna comment on our server, Shauna. She was always smiling and happy to serve and checked on us accordingly. Will be back ?“

“Family friendly food in a family friendly atmosphere, a welcome addition to Boxborough’s otherwise nonexistent dining options. If you’re looking for a brewery, go to Dirigible. If you want better food, go to Oscar’s. But if you want somewhere you can enjoy a beer outside while your kids play games (corn hole, ping pong, shuffle board) with decent vegetarian options, then you’ve come to the right place.“

“Good food choices and kind & supportive people. I stayed here the last 3 nights so that I could be close to our elder Senior Mom in the Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center after she had a health crisis. Every front desk person and staff person I have met has been kind, knowledgeable and has gone the extra mile for me to be comfortable and be able to get a little rest and nutrition. Thanks to all at Courtyard by Marriott Worcester.“

“Went on a Saturday 5pm. It was quiet as it was early. My husband was happy with it, I was just ehh. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. Ordered Prosecco was not nice and cold...it was tepid/cool. Husbands beer was cold. We had truffle fries as an appetizer. Literally just fries I could have made at home with some truffle oil and Parmesan. Husband ordered caprese salad that was good. It was nothing special. 4 thin sliced tomatoes with burratta and some balsamic drizzled over. I had a salad with salmon. The salad was drenched but it was tasty, tomatoes, a few cukes, very thin and crispy croutons and the salmon which was a little under done in my opinion. My husband had the chicken parm, nicely cooked, pasta seemed like homemade he really liked it. The bill came to $101.65 with tip $126.65. I wouldn't care about going back again, my husband might want to though.“

“Look man, I don’t usually leave reviews on restaurants, but this place is the bees knees. The food, the service, everything. Even management, just top notch. If I had a family birthday party, or an anniversary dinner or hell, even if my daughter just graduated from Pre - K, were coming here to celebrate. This place is the tits.“

“I’m a Worcester native but now live in RI. I’m so proud coming back home and seeing all the changes. The mercantile building itself and concept is fabulous however all depends where you sit. We were first flood in the middle which was not the best. I recommend top floors or by the window. Love the key chain that donates to local charities . We came for my frisks birthday and I told the server this - server didn’t even say happy birthday nor was their cake or anything brought out. Pretty cheap for a place like this. We each got margaritas- the cocktails have way too many sugary ingredients first sign that drinks aren’t well made. I asked for drinks to be made a specific way and they accommodated . The food was very good pickle pizza to die for!!! The server asked if I would leave some e yea so she could have it??? Very shocking. The staff all looked miserable and are not welcoming. Overall the mercantile missed the mark. Step it up with better staff and a more experienced mixologist!“
