    The Woo is one of my favorite restaurants, especially when it's a nice day to sit outside. We were at the Woo recently and didn't have the amazing meals we usually do. We both enjoyed our usual appetizers...my husband loves their chourico sausage app and I love their nachos. I usually always get the eggplant parmigiana which I love, but I switched it up and got the chicken Caesar wrap which was just okay ( and a little dry). My husband got the pasta with chicken and broccoli and although it looked amazing it was really really oily and tasted like they just poured olive oil in it, he always finishes his meals and helps me with mine too. This was the first time my husband didn't eat his whole meal. We'll come again, but we'll definitely stick with our usual favorites next time.

    10/10 food and drinks couldn't recommend more. The woo pasta is out of this world and the watermelon martini.

    We arrived around Noon on a cold, blustery New England day, in search of some comfort food. The Woo Bar & Grill boasted a high Yelp rating, and we decided to check it out. We were immediately greeted by a very friendly and cheerful waitress who invited us to select a seat. There were a few people seated at the bar, we were the first at a table. We selected: THE WOO CHEESEBURGER $15.99 with Swiss Cheese and Fries FRIED HADDOCK (DAILY SPECIAL) $22.95 with Fries Our food arrived in about 15 minutes, and my knee jerk reaction was that the food looked good. It's funny how you can often discern how a meal will taste at first glance. It reminds me of Blink by Malcolm Gladwell where he examines how the subconscious mind can make fast and accurate judgments in the blink of an eye. A quick bite of my first French fry confirmed my prediction, a hot crispy and slightly salty fry that was delicious. There was an abundant helping of them, it was difficult not to finish all of these! The burger came partially assembled, the top bun was off and topped by lettuce, two thick slices of tomato and onion. I always appreciate this approach as I don't like raw onions and don't typically have a tomato slice on a cheeseburger. So, I removed everything but one piece of lettuce and was about to take a bite out of a delicious looking burger. However, the tomato slice also looked good. Considering how bad the tomatoes were the prior evening at Via which is on the same street as the Woo Bar & Grill, I was reticent. I sliced off a small piece of tomato, and to my surprise, it was excellent, and I quickly consumed the slice. Kudos to Woo, they should let Via know where they get their tomatoes! The burger patty looked thick and juicy (similar to what I use when grilling in the summer) and was resting on a nicely toasted bun. It tasted as good as it looked. No doubt, this wasn't a lean burger, which is one of the reasons it tasted good! The last thing I want is a dry, 93% lean meat patty on the rare occasions I eat a burger. It was topped with a substantial portion of Swiss cheese and cooked as ordered. I also sampled the fried haddock, which tasted fresh and relatively light. It was also very good (but not as good as my cheeseburger!). A gourmet meal, no, but a delicious lunch yes! I can see why this place has high ratings; we greatly enjoyed our lunch. A tip for my fellow Yelpers: I bet this place can get loud, with high ceilings and few soft acoustic elements. If you want a quiet lunch or dinner, come at a slower time.

    Amazing drinks

    Went here as a pregame spot and it was great! Service was so friendly and talkative. We shared a bunch of apps. The drinks were the star - everything so fresh and Homeade and not too sweet. Love this place!!!

    Pickle pizza

    My husband and I go here often. The food is always delicious! I wanted to highlight their pickle pizza; it is by far the best pickle pizza I have tried! The service is amazing, and the restaurant is very clean and friendly.

    Farmers Burger
    Allie W.

    Great atmosphere and even better service. Their menu has a lot of items to choose from and the Farmers Burger was an item unique to this menu. I took half home and the leftovers were even better

    One of my favorite spots that I don't visit enough. Their food is always good, my sister & dad love their pickle pizza. I think i've tried half of the menu by now and love it all. Their drink specials are always really fun. The owners and staff are really friendly and hilarious. They do have outdoor seating for those interested, too!

    Chicken Marsala

    First time at the Woo and I must say, I was impressed. Cute dine in restaurant with an outdoor patio. Servers were awesome- friendly and attentive! Food was great. Chicken Marsala was delicious and the Chicken Parm portion was huge! Drinks were strong and tasty! No complaints here! Will be sure to visit again !

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.

The Boynton is a Worcester institution where the napkins are thin, the booths are legendary, and the food portions are sized for a literal grizzly bear preparing for hibernation. ​The Highlights: ​The Pizza: The crust is weirdly sweet, the cheese is an architectural hazard, and it's arguably the most addictive substance in Central Mass. One slice is a meal; a whole pie is a commitment to a three-day nap. ​The "Buckets": Why drink from a glass when you can drink neon-colored spirits out of a literal sand pail?

If you don't have a reservation, just pull up a chair in the parking lot and wait three business days. ​The Verdict: You will arrive as a functioning member of society and leave as a human-pizza hybrid in desperate need of stretchy pants. ​5/5 stars. I regret nothing except trying to finish those fries.

He was friendly, personable, and really made the night enjoyable. He had the menu completely dialed in, gave great recommendations for sides, and kept things light with conversation and humor throughout dinner. That level of service really elevates the whole experience. We also have to recognize the cook, also named Jeff, because the food was phenomenal across the board. My son ordered the New York strip steak, and it was hands down the best steak he's ever had. My daughter had shrimp and tried some of the steak as well and loved both. My wife ordered the baked cod--it was incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. She actually couldn't finish it, not because it wasn't amazing, but because she filled up on the appetizer and was genuinely disappointed she couldn't keep going. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich, and it was fantastic--great balance of heat and flavor. For an appetizer, we tried the BBQ chicken nachos. Definitely something different for us, but we couldn't stop eating them--they were that good. The ambiance was exactly what you want: comfortable, relaxed, and not over the top. Between the incredible food, top-notch service, and overall atmosphere, this was a 5-star experience all around. Highly recommend.

The kitchen is open to the dining room, nice, clean open.. but then the cooking team has an audience in the dining room. I don't think they know? I certainly appreciate 110 Grill being open later than most, but it puts a bummer on dinner to hear how much they didn't want to be working, got screwed with that shift, or found their stations in disarray, whatever. 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.
