    Buffalo chicken salad
    Melissa M.

    Herbie's is a well known place serving up every day classics from fried fish to shepherds pie. This is my 2nd time and was I wasn't disappointed. Parking can be a little tough at lunch time but just park in the greater area and don't block a driveway and you will be fine. There is nothing special about the decor. I was seated in front of the vacuum cleaner but what it lacks in aesthetic it makes up for in cheap eats. Service is decent. Friendly enough and fairly quick. The food: I had a buffalo chicken salad. Very standard with just lettuce,tomato, carrot, shredded cheese,scallions and chicken. It was good. I needed extra dressing and was brought it very quickly. Diner number two got the fisherman's platter. It was a good amount of fish, clams, scallops and shrimp with fries and coleslaw. It tasted fresh and delicious. Diner 3 ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. Nothing special here just a typical wrap. Sweet potato Fries were $1 up-charge but it was clear on the menu. She enjoyed her meal. Diner 4 was visiting after recently moving out of state and really wanted a New England hotdog. She was not disappointed. She got 2 with the works on grilled buns and fries. She was very pleased. We shared onion rings. They were ok a little dry and seemed like they could use another minute in the fryer but they were eaten all the same. The prices are super reasonable and the portions are good. Herbie's is a must if you are looking for a home cooked type lunch.

    Haddock and clams

    A great local dive with a large selection of seafood. If you want to go where the locals go, this is the place. It's a bit loud, but the food and service are great. Update: went back a couple of days later for more clams. Still great. But the scallops were really off the second time. I'd call them hit and miss. The haddock and clams were still fantastic. And the cole slaw is a perfect complement to the fries.

    We came here after a halfway point for vacation and you Yelpers helped us make our decision. You all did well. Herbie's is like a run down Cheers. It's a bar that seated all of the grey-haired seniors at lunchtime drinking to their heart's content and having their "epic" conversations of the topics of the day. We were told to sit anywhere open, and the air conditioning was on full blast. One patron had to move tables because the wall unit ended up dripping on them. We picked a four-top and very friendly Ava helped us out with quick service. The opening clam chowder was outstanding. Very thick, creamy, no overdone clams, and lots of potatoes. Came with a small pack of crackers. My clam roll was supposed to be full bellies fried clams with fries. Not all were, they weren't too plump, but they were crispy and tasted wonderful. Fries were just as good. The dish came with tartar sauce, and I asked for cocktail which they said they had, but it never came. My wife had a chicken strip salad and my kid had a chicken strip wrap. But, the kitchen instead sent out two wraps and since my wife thought it looked good just kept her wrap instead of getting a salad which was offered by Ava. They both really enjoyed the wraps. My other kid had a 3D burger which comes with fries and onion rings. He asked for medium but it came out well. But again, he really liked the taste and it was presented like a club sandwich. Overall, we're more than happy to support a local business. The bathrooms were something to be desired. It's run down, but the locals seem to love it and we'd come back. Polar drinks, no Coke or Pepsi. And the Polar facility seems to be located across the street. 3 stars from my whole family and 4 from me, so since I'm writing this I'm giving the 4. Really, a 3 1/2. $90 including tip for everything.

    Very nice outside dining area.

    My wife and I stopped by for lunch yesterday. It was around 12:30 pm and we sat at the bar and ate lunch there. Great service, friendly and attentive. My wife had the whole belly fried clams and haddock. I had the scallops and haddock, both served with fries and coleslaw. Perfectly cooked and delicious! Great libations!!

    Fish and Chips
    Rosa A.

    Thank you to everyone who's ever suggested Herbie's. I read years worth of reviews/comments before trying out new places and this time the positive comments couldn't have been more accurate. I had the Friday special fish and chips (baked with sweet potatoes and coleslaw). The service (a major one for me), the flavor, the simplicity, the portion, the price, the freshness of the ingredients. Just thinking about it makes me smile all over again. I never thought I'd appreciate no background music while eating out but afternoon buzz from the conversations around the room was the perfect ambience to this experience. And it would be perfect for a meetup with friends. It was so simplistic yet so good. Parking was full by 1PM on a Friday so that might be the only downside but it's well worth it.

    Lobster Roll
    Allysa C.

    Been here twice! Never disappoints. Service is fast, seafood is amazing. Whole Belly Fried Clams with extra Tartar, I've never tasted anything quite like it. I have the lobster roll which is traditional Maine lobster roll served cold with butter. You can only get the lobster roll on certain days, one of which is Monday. I've heard the Haddock is also great! Everything is tasty and you can't beat the prices. The staff know what's up and treat you right. Walk on in and grab a table today !

If you can sit at the bar or in one of the 2 tables by the window, you'll get excellent service. The charcuterie board is great, and the drink selection is also pretty good. However, the last time we came here, it was the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's day. I'm from Boston and Cape Cod and my partner is European; we look like it and we act like it. Upon a brief interaction with the hostess, we both felt spoken down to: "YOU'RE trying to come in on Valentine's day? Without a reservation?" This, coming from someone with a Worcester accent who was dressed like a boy going to church choir. We were shooed away into the dining area: "I guess you could stand over there and look at the menu". It's about 330 in the afternoon- most tables are completely empty. Then a different staff member, also with a working class accent, says "I need you to clear out of this walkway because this is for staff only", despite the fact that no staff were walking there and we had been standing there about 20-30 seconds. We left without saying anything as the hostess tried to say something to us. If you want to feel spoken down to, in the working class city of Worcester no less, come here. Alternately, if you're feeling aggressive and want to squeeze your way in to sit touching shoulder to shoulder, come here. The time before this, the hostess was a soft-spoken woman who mumbled a lot; we had to elbow people out of the way at the middle bar section, which is where she directed us. Maybe in another year I'll want to come back for lunch only. Honestly, I'd rather drive back to Boston if I'm going to be treated snobbishly.
