Steak House • $$$
“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.”

“The server we had last night was the biggest jerk and should be fired. We left after being clearly discriminated by your staff. We’ve been coming here for years but will never be back after yesterday’s experience. Ricardo was a complete jerk and should not be in the restaurant business.”

“I ordered some takeout from Unique Cafe for the first time, Nadine was super helpful when placing my order. Enjoyed a small jerk chicken plate with Mac & cheese on top of rice & beans. The mac & cheese was creamy and delicious. The chicken was just the right amount of spice and paired well with the rice & beans. Also had some of the sweet plantains. Enjoyed their fusion menu and will be visiting again to try their oxtail.”

African • $
“The food at Fatima's is absolutely delicious and very fresh. The owner is an amazing human being who is incredibly kind. My daughter loves a cake she makes, and Fatima was out of it on the day we were visiting the restaurant. I told the owner we would be back for cake on our next visit, when my daughter was home from college. The owner told me that there was no way my daughter was headed back to school without having her favorite cake. She made a special batch that morning, when she was not even open, in order for my daughter to enjoy it before she left. Both my daughter and I were in tears, we could not believe her incredible kindness. I hope this place succeeds greatly and is around for years to come! Fantastic service, incredible food, and kindness are a winning combination!”

“Want to George's Coney Island Lunch today for the first time ever. I have had hotdogs from a lot of different places. I would have to say I love the stuff there and the service is absolutely amazing there. The hotdogs are so freaking delicious for 1 hotdog with the works is $2.75. I give the stuff the best compliment they have heard the day today they waved me up to the count and said we enjoyed that feedback so much we want to give you a free hotdog on the house. If I could rate them 1 out of 10 stars on here I would give them 10 stars all day long. But because I can't give them 10 star on yelp I am going to give them a solid rating of 5 stars.”

“I or wife have eaten in the Sudbury restaurant about 5 times in the last few months. We love it, especially since my wife is of Lebanese descent. Pat is an outstanding, quick and very nice waiter.
HOWEVER - I WAS SHOCKED AT THE PRICE OF A DRAFT BEER. $14.00 is out of line, my wife's wine was only $13.00. We will continue to come to El Basha for the excellent Lebanese food, but I will be careful not to order a beer. Ice water is also great to have with a Lebanese meal.”

If planning was a great experience, execution was elite. The owners pulled out every last stop to make the event perfect. Both the location and parking are convenient and smooth. The space was clean, welcoming, and accessible for all. Our guests enjoyed the beer, seltzer, and seltzer cocktails and mocktails. They prepared the most beautiful and delicious cheese board spread. Every last detail was exceptional!”

Fast Food • $
“So I get McDonalds drive through today. They ask me to park, I understand why they want to as they are measured by ownership to be as speedy as possible and are timed on the checkouts at the drive-thru. But then the employees have to walk through the pooring rain asking cars randomly if this is their order (5 cars parked). I'm not mad that they screwed up my order at all. I'm mad at the incompetance of the management to put their staff in harms way to fit metrics during a freakin pandemic. Its embarrassing upon the ownership at this site and I feel bad for the great workers they have. End rant. #McDonalds McDonald's 529 SW Cutoff, Worcester, MA 01607”

Deli • $$
“Chani’s Deli has become a required part of my family’s Shabbat meals. My fiancée and I discovered it after we started going to shul here regularly. I’ve become so spoiled by the kugels and challah, and it’s now the challah we use in our home (we use both this challah, and matzoh, for hamotzi at home, for a variety of reasons). We learned that we need to order by Wednesday, for Thursday pickup.”

I had the "Californian" Avocado so green and ripe... yummy sauce (real name) lives up to it's name..

“Although I do recommend their food, i have a complaint that needs to be addressed by management sooner rather than later: Lost Prescription Glasses at Antonio’s – Seeking Help On Saturday, February 8, I dined at Antonio’s in Worcester and accidentally left my prescription glasses on the table. The next day, I called the restaurant, and a staff member confirmed they had found them and would set them aside for me. However, when I went to pick them up on Monday, my glasses were nowhere to be found. I asked the staff to check the security cameras, but I was told they didn’t have time, and later, another employee said the cameras wouldn’t show the seating area. I find it concerning that my glasses were supposedly found on Sunday but had disappeared by Monday. I’ve now been without my new prescription glasses for three days, and replacing them will be a costly expense since my insurance won’t cover another pair this year. I’m simply asking Antonio’s to review the camera footage to determine what happened. If they find my glasses, great—it will save me a lot of money. If not, at least I’ll know they made an effort. I’ve been a loyal customer, but I’m very disappointed by their lack of interest in helping me. I hope they reconsider and take action.”
Cocktail Bar • $
“I didn't try any food so cannot comment. Bar is clean and stools are comfortable. Tiny booths are vintage spaces for private conversations. I found the music a little too loud when not a full bar. Matt was our bartender and provided exceptional commentary on the cocktails, some of which he created to add to the menu. His ability to craft a cocktail on demand to match the taste of the person ordering is an art form everyone should experience at least one time.”
Mexican • $
“The food is so warm, comforting, and made with such care. The atmosphere is always festive. Employees and customers are always in a happy mood. The drinks are tasty, refreshing and full of spirit. The chips and salsa are a great start, but be careful not to devour them and spoil the appetite you'll need to tackle your main dish! You'll walk out extremely satisfied because of the wonderful food you consumed. But, you'll also be pleasantly surprised because Pepe's is the best bang for your buck in Worcester. Highly recommended!!!”
Sushi • $$
“First visit to Sushi Miyazawa—and it won’t be the last!
The food and service were both excellent, and we really appreciated the BYOB option. One thing to note: there’s a 90-minute time limit per table. Thankfully, we had adjusted our reservation from 10 to 7 people, which worked out perfectly—we wrapped up with just a minute to spare. A great experience overall, but something to keep in mind if you're planning a larger or more leisurely gathering.”

Waitstaff both night were there every time you finished something, polite, attentive and it was a pleasure to see quick service.

Their bowls are unique and so tasty and overall fairly healthy. I drove with my bowl back to Boston and despite that hour of travel it was still delicious. Would definitely come back and explore the market Edenish is located within. I can say that after coming here I could see taking a day trip from Boston and exploring Worcester a little bit more.”

“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 would post a picture but I ate it too quick so you’ll just need to take my word for it and try yourself.”

“I have no clue what any of the negative reviews are about. My first visit was amazing.
I've never been to a restaurant serving shawarma and falafel with such delicious food.

Given the opportunity I would gladly return!”
Diner • $

“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner/welcome party upstairs at Nuovo in August of 2022 which included almost 100 people. We could not be happier with our choice!!! The food and drinks are excellent and the staff are so hard-working and friendly. The owners are phenomenal and genuinely care about the happiness and satisfaction of their guests. We discussed our vision for the evening with Loreta in advance and she sure did help us achieve it. We had our own bar and servers, as well as a solo live singer we hired who they were easily able to accommodate. Loreta was incredibly responsive, kind, helpful, and patient. My family and I have also had dinner here and we just can’t say enough about how wonderful our several experiences have been. We will absolutely make the trip to Worcester to go back. Huge thanks to Loreta and all the other amazing staff for helping us create beautiful memories. We would HIGHLY recommend Nuovo to anyone!!”

“I visited here December 4, 2023. I had a delicious scallop and haddock mix over fettacchini with a spicy sauce that was to rave about. Not sure when I will get to Worcester, MA again but I will definitely visit La Cuchina. As a bonus, my server was a gentle soul, Michael. Extremely attentive and generous with his time and suggestions. He is expecting his first child, so if you are so lucky to have him serve you, please be generous, as we all know the expense of a new child. Michael have a blessed day! -James Dalton”

“We didn't have any food as the kitchen was closed, but the cocktails were amazing. I had a Porn Star, and my partner had the Duck It. Both drinks were fantastic, and the DJ was wicked good. The space inside was a little small, but not enough to negatively affect our night. I'm looking forward to going back soon!”

My main point of contact was Bella, she was friendly and responsive to my emails to work out the details. Mason was the lead bartender that night and took great care of our group and was super nice. I have no complaints and will definitely go back for the food sometime! I’m not a beer drinker, but everyone else enjoyed the beers and thought the variety was good! Definitely a good spot for a party!”

“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.”

“This evening, I went to Off The Rails in Worcester. I sat at their great bar. The service was wonderful with an attentive bartender and host. The bartender was named Jon and was very friendly. The owner/ manager is also doing a great job. The bar and restaurant is decorated with photos of Americana and Country music greats. I ordered the delicious pulled pork platter with cornbread, coleslaw, and macaroni and cheese. The pulled pork tasted fresh and flavorful, the cornbread was moist, and the coleslaw was some of the best I've ever had. The food was 18 dollars, but was sharable and worth it. I definitely want to go back when there is a band/ live music. I am giving this restaurant and music venue 5 stars.”

Italian • $$
“We were out of town and it was our 51st wedding anniversary. Finding a restaurant that was open on a Monday wasn't easy but Leo's turned out to be close to our hotel and the food was very good. We shared a special antipasto, he had fettuccine alfredo with chicken and I had eggplant stuffed with ricotta with linguine. Portions were large so we only finished half but took the leftovers to go. Service was slow but friendly. Most of the room was a bar and nearly all the tables were high tops because they had a large party coming in that used all the low tables, but they found a regular table and chairs for us (climbing onto a tall chair would have been difficult). The waitstaff wore shirts that said the restaurant has been there since 1910 so that's pretty impressive.”

“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!”

“Loved the crab ragoons and the owners are so friendly!!! Stopped by late night, less than 15 minutes before closing, and got crab ragoons (10/10), chicken lo mein (7/10) and sesame chicken (5/10). Service was fast, efficient and food was hot. It is your typical Chinese takeout joint, no frills. It’s not Michelin star quality food by any means but a great late night meal.”

“Dinner on Wednesday, chicken special was amazing. Dinner Thursday was the antipasto and pizza special! Best pizza I have had in awhile. The cheese was delicious and we ordered the Mama pizza, ricotta, eggplant, cheese, and meatball. We asked they add red sauce and they did. Both of us enjoyed it. Waitstaff both night were there every time you finished something, polite, attentive and it was a pleasure to see quick service. After COVID most restaurants don’t have enough help, not here, no waiting at all. Food was a 10 out of 10!!”

Not sure when I will get to Worcester, MA again but I will definitely visit La Cuchina. As a bonus, my server was a gentle soul, Michael. Extremely attentive and generous with his time and suggestions. He is expecting his first child, so if you are so lucky to have him serve you, please be generous, as we all know the expense of a new child. Michael have a blessed day! -James Dalton”

“I LOVE wingstop. I’m an avid buyer, once a week. It hurts for this review. BUT I’m sick and tired of trying to call to place an order, and they don’t pick up. (Sometimes I’m driving and can’t do online) then when I get there, not only is customer service RUDE, BUT they’re on their goddamn phones while it rings. I told her I called four times she said “well it didn’t ring”. No sooner THE PHONE RANG. For me to spend almost $100 a week, that’s some terrible service. I don’t think I’ll ever go back.”

“Want to George's Coney Island Lunch today for the first time ever. I have had hotdogs from a lot of different places. I would have to say I love the stuff there and the service is absolutely amazing there. The hotdogs are so freaking delicious for 1 hotdog with the works is $2.75. I give the stuff the best compliment they have heard the day today they waved me up to the count and said we enjoyed that feedback so much we want to give you a free hotdog on the house. If I could rate them 1 out of 10 stars on here I would give them 10 stars all day long. But because I can't give them 10 star on yelp I am going to give them a solid rating of 5 stars.”

It’s refreshing to have a Very reliable staff. I like to try new food to taste Or just have my all time favorite Thai dish!
