Food and prices are reasonable, as is the environment. Would definitely visit again, but I was left rather confused about 1 thing. The owners name is Paul Hanlon. He should rename the place to Hanlons Cafe. Sincerely, Mr. BREEN

After seeing reviews talking about how amazing the Steak and Cheese was at Breens, my wife and I had no choice but to check it out. Maybe we came on a bad day? On the day we visited, the place was absolutely jam packed with people watching a college football bowl game. Seating was a free for all, luckily we found two stools near each other to sit at. We eventually figured out that we needed to go up to the bar to order our drinks, so I did that. Then we wanted to order food, but the only menu we could see anywhere around was on a chalkboard-looking thing above the "kitchen" area, so I snapped a picture of it and my wife and I decided what to get. While there were several yummy-sounding things on the menu, the only food items they had available were burgers and pastrami (I think). And that was it. So I ordered one burger that my wife and I split. But they were apparently out of burger buns, so they had to put it on a sub roll. Honestly, the burger tasted really good, well-seasoned and plenty of juiciness. But it was very weird eating it on a sub roll. But the good taste was the only thing that saved my review from being 1-star. This seems to be a bit of a local "secret" type of place, and maybe next time we're in the Worcester area we'll try it again (still want that amazing Steak and Cheese I keep reading about), but our first experience was nothing short of disappointing.

The bar tender working tonight denied my friends ID honestly we drink here all the time but because it was out of state he asked for a pass port as proof. Who carries a passport to a bar…. The guy was on his high horse I’ve never had another bartender here deny his ID! I don’t know who hired this bar tender but he need to learn how to tell a real ID from a fake cause this is ridiculous. We always take care of the bartender so to be treated the way he did is not it :/ find bartenders that know what they are doing because I’m a regular but if this keeps up I will not be returning

Known for the steak n cheese but the also have the best pastrami n cheese
Heard about their steak and cheeses subs so wanted to give them a try. They usually don't do take out when it's busy but made an exception. The sandwich was stuffed with meat that was nice and tender. Came with chips and a pickle. It's cash only but would definitely recommend it.

Okay so I go sit down at a table; there are three waiters/waitresses. No one greets me. No one asks if I want something to drink. I sat at the table for over 20 minutes with no one asking if I want a menu or anything. I had to go up to the bar to find out that you can only order food and drinks at a certain section in the bar. When taking my order there was no eye contact with the waitress. I asked for french fries and they gave me a bag of Ruffles without telling me that they don’t have or serve french fries. The burger meat was unseasoned although cooked well done, had no crispiness or good taste; they obviously do no use a binding agent like eggs in their burger meat nor any amount of salt or pepper. The roll was from the grocery store just some really squishy, easily sogged up roll. Never coming back again, good riddance. It looked like the local people were having a good time though.

Whenever I can get back to Worcester I always stop here. Breen's holds a special place for me as there's a lot of family history in that building.

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. ?

Worst customer service, worst place, worst food! They don’t deserve to be in business! Awful food accompanied by the worst customer service! If you go there you will be in for a treat! You will never be treated worse!
