    Carl's is a really great spot to go to. It's a classic small diner so I would recommend to plan accordingly if you're looking to grab a seat. The servers are very welcoming and kind. The food portions come in a fairly large size and is absolutely delicious. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was so good! If you're in Oxford and looking for a spot to grab a bite, this is the place for you!

    Good things happen when you venture past the fast food chains and go a a couple miles in from I-390. Sure, this place isn't brand spanking new but, it is clean and well worth any wait you might have. Make a new friend, sit at the counter, and be prepared for omelets that are as big as the plate. Be sure to bring cash and be nice to the team, they are hustling.

    Wow I love Carls. All my friends love carls. When anyone brings up carls the first response is I love carls. The chefs and host were extreme nice. The food was massive. 10/10 experience. Very very good waffle with strawberries and whip cream. Surpassed my expectations. 100% will be back.

    Went here after several friends were surprised we have lived in the area for several years and never ate there. We looked them up and heard about the generous portions. My wife and I ordered omelettes. The plates had heaping loads of home fries, omelettes were huge. Coffee was a great diner coffee. Serve staff was excellent. It's a small car of a dinner. Seats at the bar or four table with high bar tables. There's a few reminders that you're in an old train car. Loved it. Has a great hometown vibe. Doors slide open like its heritage as a train car.

    One egg and a side of sausage.

    Classic American diner in Oxford Mass. HUGE portions that are tasty and hot off the grill which is right in front of you if you sit at the counter. Fast and friendly service. You might need to wait for a table or seat at the counter as this place is tiny. But worth the wait. Ask for a to go box when you order. You are going to need it.

It was bustling but service was not affected. It's a casual eat like the name says but not so casual that it wouldn't be a nice place for a date. Just not super fancy and I'm ok with that. The food was really good. We started with calamari and arancini. The calamari is the best we've had. Tender and flavorful. Everything you want in seafood. This was my first arancini so I don't have much experience but it was nicely flavored. Very dense and filling. Hubby got fish and chips. It wasn't super memorable. It was fine but there is better around. I got the sampler of meatball, chicken and eggplant in the red sauce. It was very good. It was so much food we took home another meal worth of food. I would say this is an absolute yes. Go give it a try.

I recently had the fish and chips and it was the best fish I have had in quite some time. The piece of fish was huge, the batter was flavorful and the fish was cooked perfect. We love their desserts too. Their bread pudding is a good go to and my kids cannot go and skip the chocolate cake. Prices are average. They share a lot with the strip mall and the parking lot gets packed at dinner time, especially on the weekends.

The decor is quirky and inviting, with a long counter and a few tables, giving it that classic diner feel. The staff is friendly and attentive, contributing to a warm atmosphere. What We Tried: Chocolate Chip Muffin: This muffin was a delightful treat--moist, fluffy, and generously studded with chocolate chips. It was the perfect balance of sweetness, making it an excellent choice for a quick breakfast bite. Banana Nut Muffin: Equally impressive, this muffin was soft and flavorful, with a good amount of banana and crunchy nuts. It had a comforting, homemade taste that made it hard to put down. Bagel Sandwich with Home Fries: The bagel sandwich was hearty and satisfying, filled with fresh ingredients. The home fries were grilled to perfection--crispy on the outside and tender inside, a true highlight of the meal. Alley Cat Diner is a solid choice for a casual breakfast or brunch in Webster. The food is comforting, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. While it's a small space that can get busy, it's definitely worth the visit.

All shareable, and the presentation is top-notch. We had the Spicy Crab Tostada, Spicy Chicken Wontons, and the Mexican Street Corn "ribs." Each dish was prepared to perfection. The Spicy Crab Tostada, like the wontons, had a light and crispy texture. The Spicy Chicken Wontons were equally delightful. And the Mexican Street Corn "ribs" were a unique treat. They were prepared by quartering the corn cob lengthwise, tossing it in a special sauce, and serving it. The "ribs" effect was that you held the quartered cob pieces and ate the kernels as if you were holding the bones of ribs. Be prepared for a few wet naps after finishing these delicious bites!

On this cool spring visit, we sat inside at a corner table with a nice view of the lake. We ordered: Happy Hour Chicken Tacos ($8) Happy Hour Fish Tacos ($8) Fish & Chips Dinner ($21) Merlot ($9) Cabernet ($11) The tacos are normally $16 for three on the dinner menu, so getting four for that price during Happy Hour is a good deal. Results were mixed. Starting with the positive: the Fish Tacos were excellent. The haddock was perfectly cooked--crispy and flavorful--served in grilled flour tortillas with shredded iceberg lettuce, creamy slaw, pico de gallo, and chipotle lime aioli. Really well done! The Chicken Tacos, on the other hand, were disappointing. The chipotle-braised chicken, along with the toppings, made them feel dense and soggy. Not something I would order again. The Fish & Chips was the biggest letdown. The fried haddock was thin and dry, and the fries were limp and not hot enough. The coleslaw was very good, though. Honestly, if they used the same haddock from the fish tacos here, it would be a big upgrade. Service was good overall, though the dinners took a while to arrive. Bottom line: 3 stars. Still the best restaurant option on the lake, but there's plenty of room for improvement.
