Let me start this off by saying that there are no photos in this review because I devoured my order almost immediately. 😅

But I finally stopped to grab food from here today! I got a side of bacon, a grilled cheese, and a hot chocolate. While ordering, I put a note on the bacon asking for them to be crispy... and let me tell you... *chefs kiss* Perfectly crispy and delicious! I did a basic grilled cheese on white bread and it had that crispy butter-y crunch to the edges of the bread. My drink was just hot chocolate with whipped cream. It was yummy!

Inside, there were tables and bar seating. It was cute! The one staff member I interacted with was super friendly. I ordered for pick-up and showed up 15 minutes early and barely had to wait 5 minutes once I got there. Overall, I will be returning for more food when I'm in the area!

Tammy is such a gem! So kind, helpful and friendly. The service was amazing and the pancakes are our favorite in Worcester! Highly recommend Route 12 Diner.

Service was horrible. Food seems to be shellfish contamination.. Beware if allergic they use same oil.. Didn't like that we were speaking a different language.. Felt uncomfortable, hurt and disappointed. So beware if you have food allergies.

Finding this place in a small shopping center with almost no parking threw us off. BUT this place is amazing. The food is perfect.

One of those great local breakfast places where they serve lunch too. Closes at 3 pm.
If you're looking for that rare unicorn: a local eating place with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where homemade type breakfast or lunch is served, you've found it. We had a tight time slot around 12:30 noon to grab a quick lunch before going to an appointment. Instead of a pub or pizzeria we chose this place and never regretted it. We ordered from the breakfast menu. We had one of the egg sandwich choices on a bulkie (roll) and French toast. Also one of the egg platters, the American Irish ( eggs over corned beef hash) which came with home fries and buttered toast. We had a coffee and a hot tea both w fresh milk and glasses of water. It was a very tasty meal, cooked to order and served with a smile. Down home comfort food. Clean and friendly. Plenty of parking. Would comeback whenever I'm in the area. We paid cash but they take credit cards. Parked a few stores down from the restaurant. Prompt friendly service. We both left very happy and looking forward to come back and try the hot chocolate.
Only thing to watch out for: is when leaving a review please make sure is for this great little restaurant. The QR decal link on our table took me to a DIFFERENT restaurant of very similar name but in Chelmsford. Not sure if it was my phone's fault or a tricky customer playing nasty games on this establishment.

This is our favorite breakfast spot by far. We’ve had several breakfast and lunch menu items at this point and I’ve yet to eat anything that I wouldn’t order again! Tammy is excellent! Great customer service, always attentive, and pleasant and cheerful attitude. We always feel welcome here and other customers seem just as happy as we are. This is such a lovely spot. You can’t go wrong with anything.

We had a wonderful breakfast here. My wife ordered pancakes and a side of sausage. Both were delicious and the pancakes were huge. I had the corned beef hash with eggs, potatoes and toast. It was delicious. We will be back

I am very confused and disappointed. I ordered an iced latte with my takeout and did add a few modifications, making it nearly a $10 drink. The employee didn’t know what a latte was and just guessed and got it horribly wrong. She just put an espresso shot into black iced coffee and gave it to me. An iced latte is like 90% milk. And obviously I didn’t get any of the modifications I paid for. They had gotten super busy in the time I was waiting for my drink and it felt like they were understaffed so I just took it and left. To be clear, I’m not mad at her. I’m mad at whoever decided to put espresso drinks on the menu but then not teach the staff what these drinks are and how to make them. Why are expensive drinks like this even available when the staff hasn’t been taught how to make them??? I feel slighted for sure. The breakfast sandwich was great tho, which is why this isn’t a one star review. I will never ever go back though because I just can’t believe I paid $10 for black coffee. This feels like an issue with management to me and I hope they either appropriately train their staff or remove espresso drinks from the menu

My husband and I just left your place and I had to let you know how good the food was. I have to eat GF and what I got did not make me feel sick. (french toast) My husband is not GF and he got the blueberry pancakes. (we also got bacon and home fries, which were cooked perfectly) He loved his food as well. And I also have to mention Tammy. She was absolutely wonderful! So sweet and friendly. What I loved was that she knows her customers. Someone pulled up and before they were even in the café, she already told the kitchen what to make. Love when the staff is like that. 😊 You’ve got an amazing waitress.
