    Worcester State Omelette
    Hannah C.

    Great experience here on a Sunday morning. Despite the limited seating, we were at immediately. It's super cute and nostalgic in there. The waitress was awesome, super quick and attentive. Our food was at our table less than 15 minutes after ordering. Everything was great, a perfect classic diner breakfast. My omelette and home fries were delicious, but ending with a chocolate chip pancake was my favorite part.

    It's 2 a.m. on a Friday where else would I be?

    Drunk food ... that's what you get here. There is a lot of variety but nothing is done well. When you have been out at the bars in Worcester and need a little something to absorb the alcohol ... and a plate of sausage, meatballs and pasta sounds like a good idea at 1 a.m. ... you come here. Ypu also get to see slme of the hardest working people on the planet navigate a small space while cooking for a packed restaurant. This is one of the few train car diners out there, popular in the 1930's and actuslly made near Worcester, these train car diners are a stalle of central Massachusetts. This isn't the New York or New Jersey style diner, its something uniquely its own New England setting. Its alwsys packed here. You'll be sitting elbow to elbow with boisterous and well lubricated club and bargoers on small yet surprisingly comfortabke stools at the counter ... or may be lucky enough to score one of the incredibly unckmfortable wooden booths, where the staff gets to watch 4 people attempt to navigate elbows and knees to eat their hangover saving food. The food here is not what you'd hope to get at any other restaurant. However, you can't knock it because the dry toast, rubbery omelettes and ketchup-like red sauce are one of the only options this late at night standing between you and a morning full of headache and sluggishness. Nothing you eat here will be good ... but it won't be bad either. Just as athletes and body buikders eat food as fuel, with little actual thought to the taste .. that's your mission here. This is a rite of passage for anyone who has lived in, or near, one of the worst small cities in the USA. Embrace and enjoy the tradition and the wonderfully vintahe interior, virtually unchanged with time since the 1930s ... 1990s ... and today. The only exception to that rule is that they mercifully started to take credit cards recently, making it a lot easier to make the call to walk through those rattling wooden doors at 2 a.m. still thinking about almost scoring at a bar.

    Authentic diner experience, with the ambiance and organized chaos of a bustling diner. Mushroom omelette was awesome along with the sausage gravy and biscuits and Italian toast. Friendly service!!!

    We ordered breakfast from here for delivery a few days ago. We leaned more towards appetizers rather than mains and they certainly offer a wide variety of juicy shit: jalapeno poppers, fried mac and cheese bites, fried ravioli, fries, CHEESY fries, I can't remember anything else and it's frustratingly difficult to find their menu online so that will have to suffice. We were relatively conservative with our ordering this time. I snagged an order of their fries (large sized), fried mac and cheese bites, and the good ol' entree version of ravioli. The fries certainly were large and plentiful however not seasoned in any capacity. I could look on the bright side and appreciate the lack of any sog whatsoever but they were so dry that I knew if I tried to sprinkle some salt and pepper, it would just fall off. They were disappointing and flavorless. Thankfully condiments came to our rescue. The fried mac and cheese bites were tasty but if you reference the photo I have included, more like flat triangles than actual balls which increases the surface area and decreases the volume to surface area ratio, greatly decreasing the quantity of MAC. I won't complain about the mac because it was good, but they are not a critical order (when talking about fried mac and cheese, I feel like that says something). The ravioli was just meh. The ravioli themselves were aggressively soft and I feel like I've had better marinara from a bottle. I will accept responsibility for the fact that I ordered ravioli from a diner so I don't know what I was expecting. If I ordered from here again, I would stick with the diner classics and leave the other stuff on the menu.

    Apple crisp. Should have taken a photo before ate half! Delicious!

    A tasty dinner in a cute diner with terrific staff. Can't beat the combination! Had the lamb shank and warm, freshly out of the oven, apple crisp. The staff was so welcoming. The diner has been run since 1936 by three generations of the same family. The charming woman behind the counter is the granddaughter. A real find in Worcester.

Everything executed *perfectly.* Started with the White Girl Woke. Perfect blend of flavors and not too sweet. Ordered Da Wangs. Word to the wise, they are massive. Delicious. Perfect Korean fried chicken crunch. Main was the Gnocch Bokki. The flavors were SO rich and decadent. I basically picked my plate clean. The food came with kimchi and white rice on the side. Overall fantastic meal. Service was good. Not overbearing. No fake friendliness. Efficient and helpful. The chef came out at one point as well. I complimented the fantastic food as well as the hip hop music piping in over the speakers. I'm currently trying to come up with an excuse to come back tomorrow.

Situated inside the Worcester Public Market, which is right at Kelley Sq, parking can be a little hectic. Of the several times I've parked in this area, I've managed to find street parking by driving up either Green St. or Harding St. The interior is a bar countertop that wraps around the central kitchen area and bar stools. No traditional seating if you're hoping for a traditional restaurant experience. The server was very friendly and the whole place had a great young, kinda rebellious vibe going on. We ordered two things and were quite disappointed with the quality of the food and the immense wait time. Da Wangs ; we came here precisely for Korean Fried Chicken which is especially known for being double-fried. The cook pulled them out of the heating drawer - already fried as expected - and dropped them in the fryer... and then proceeded to disappear for several minutes. Oh no. The plating of the dish looks delicious, but biting into it... the worst fried chicken we've ever had. The skin was so hard and crunchy and the burnt taste was unavoidable. The only redeemable flavor was the very paltry glaze of hot honey on the wings. Gnocch Bokki ; we love tteokbokki and this seemed like a really interesting take on it. we watched the chef fry up the aromatic ingredients and mushrooms for what seemed like forever. AND he disappeared multiple times. We don't appreciate waiting 40-50 minutes for food for no damn reason. The rice cakes had a delightful crisp to them, but the duck was utterly dry and unenjoyable despite the sous vide description. The sauce was unpleasantly cloying after the first few bites. I don't know what I'm suppose to take from the flavor profile, but IMO it just tasted like a plate of hoisin sauce. The bartender/waitress talked about how she had past career experience as a food safety (or health?) inspector and it was interesting to listen to... and shortly after that she grabbed a bite off of a large sauced-up plate near the burners... and then the chef proceeded to use that same plate to glaze our wings. We will not be returning.

I don't let my kids use that much foul language at the dinner table, but here we had to just kind of pretend we weren't dining to a chorus of f-bombs and excrement. Maybe it's usually busier/louder in the dining room and doesn't reverberate through? I'm telling you it was weird, man. There was some humorous irony to the excellent front of the house. Friendly, cheerful, professional, and helpful. For all the grumbling, the food came out of the kitchen just fine. Cuban sandwich was tasty, but could have used some kind of sauce or moist anything.
