Great food - great service - parking out back. (Don't park across street - you'll be charged and Lucky's can't validate). Pastrami sandwich very good. Turkey barley soup made fresh and quite tasty. Turkey pocket with fresh, fresh turkey. Friendly atmosphere, nice art on walls. Located downstairs in the mill.

Read an article that George's Coney Island just marked its 100th birthday. Any place in business that long must be doing something right so I paid a trip. The dogs were great and very reasonably priced, $1.75. I had one dog slathered with mustard, onions and relish. I went back to buy another. The counter person asked if I wanted to try their chili topping. Hesitantly I said yes. Wow, I'm I did. Great taste. If you're in the Worcester area this is a nice blast from the past with very reasonably priced "comfort" dogs.

Brunch on Sunday. Armsby serves brunch till 3.0 PM or so. Interesting menu with very filing and tasty options. An outstanding and eclectic selection of beers on draft and by the bottle. Helpful knowledgeable staff with good suggestions for pairing beer to food choices.Very good bar with interesting cocktails. Design your own bloody mary (perfect for Sunday brunch)

The Mrs and I stopped in for a quick lunch before heading to kids birthday party. Went for the sandwich called the BBQ Kitchen Sink. It had a bunch of BBQ meat on a hearty sub roll covered in melted cheese. It was a damn good sandwich!

Iâve eaten here a handful of times and Iâve always enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the food and drinks. My last visit was a bit disappointing. I ordered the Acadia Seafood Platter and it was overcooked and not enjoyable. The veggies on the platter were also overcooked and tasteless. Other meals in our party of three were up to standard and very good. My wife asked about gluten free bread and was warned by the waitress that she would not recommend it. She brought a sample for her to try and indeed, it was awful. This restaurant has a lot of good things going for it but it still has room for improvement. Also, finding a palatable bread for those with dietary restrictions would be a plus.

We had a delicious dinner recently at this restaurant. Service was excellent. We started off with very good clam chowder and then had grilled salmon and fish & chips. All were excellent. The only downside (surprisingly) was dessert. My husband had tiramasu and it was tasteless. He has had it dozens of times in other restaurants and this was by far the oddest tasting tiramasu. I had the apple Brown Betty and it was way too sweet, loaded with lots & lots of sugar. When we were asked whether we enjoyed the desserts, we were honest & our wait staff were kind & only charged us for one dessert. Would go back again, but would not order dessert.

The idea behind One Eleven Chop House was to establish a Chicago-style steakhouse right here in Worcester. The elegance and sophistication of the decor complements some of the best-tasting steaks and chops you'll find anywhere. All of our cuts are either

Went there with friends for dinner and were really impressed by a number of factors. Typical chop house/steak place ambience which was appreciated. Fairly upscale place, but not pretentious. Very good wine list and to top it off they have a list of wines that they are providing at great discounts. This was much appreciated especially to pair with our steaks. Good selection of meats. The servers were exceptional as we had about three servers assigned to our table. Friendly and personable. The steaks were done as we requested and the prices were reasonable given the character of the place and level of service. I would recommend this steak place if you are around or near Worcester. Great find. They have a pretty nice bar as well if that is what you like.

Jet lagged and hungry after flying in from Asia to attend our daughter's college graduation we searched online for a breakfast spot that opened early. The Miss Worcester Diner was very close to our accommodations and opened at 5 AM. This place is in an original diner car that had been built in the factory building across the street. The food was classic griddle cooked diner breakfasts of our childhood, tasty and satisfying. While we didn't try it, the specialty french toast looked amazing. The owner, other staff, and other customers were very friendly. Miss Worcester Diner did not disappoint.

Donât be intimidated when you see a line of people sitting in the waiting room to get into Lou Rocâs diner: they move the line along quickly. Service is friendly and very efficient. Their breakfasts are delicious, in fact thatâs all Iâve ever eaten there. My favorite is the homemade corn beef hash eggs Benedict breakfast. I always need to take half of the corn beef hash home and have it with eggs again the next morning. All the eggs Benedicts are wonderful as well, simply canât go wrong. Itâs a cute diner that has a front porch added onto the front.
