A culinary negotiation between health and pure weekend indulgence. ​We went into 185 Bistro with a strategy. We tried to be responsible. We ordered the broccoli quiche, telling ourselves, "Look at us, eating green vegetables for breakfast. We are the picture of health and sophistication. ​And it was sophisticated. The quiche was fluffy, savory, and perfectly baked--the kind of dish that makes you feel like you should be sipping an espresso while wearing a silk robe. ​But then came the sunny-side-up eggs and home fries, and all pretense of restraint went right out the window. ​Those sunny-side-up eggs were a masterclass in tension. The yolks were so perfectly runny that the second we poked them, it was like a golden, delicious dam broke across the plate. Naturally, those crispy, heavily seasoned home fries were right there waiting to act as the ultimate cleanup crew. It became a beautiful, chaotic race against time to swipe up every drop of yolk with a potato. ​By the end, the plate looked like a battlefield, and we looked like we needed a post-breakfast nap. 10/10--the perfect balance of getting your daily vitamins and eating your weight in carbohydrates. read more

Stopped in here for brunch with a few of my friends. We all hadn't been here before, so wanted to give it a try. We thought the inside was very cute, and relatively spacious. We got there right at noon, and got a booth by the window. The menu had typical brunch options. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap, my other friend got a chicken Caesar wrap, while another had an omelette with a side of home fries, and my last friend got some Mexican breakfast dish. We all enjoyed the food, but the service was a bit slow. We had to flag our waitress down to get additional water, and she never checked on us to see if we enjoyed the food. It was also unclear how we paid at the end because she never circled back to take our check so my friend went to the front to pay. It wasn't super busy to not check back in on us, so I think this is an area the restaurant could improve on. read more

Meh. A bit of a greasy spoon. We had to wait 45 minutes for a pedestrian breakfast-- waffles, pancakes, eggs, sausage. Atmosphere = diner. While we waited, I could see into the kitchen. Suffice it to say that seeing the sausage being made didn't help my appetite. read more

The experince was positive overall. The place was clean, organized, and provided solid customer service. I would recommend it to others.

Food was excellent, service was fantastic! We were in town for a regatta, we live about a hour away. I tried the hash skillet, with house made Italian bread- it was fantastic. He tried the Italian omelette with red sauce on the side. He loved it. He said it was the best omelette he's had in ages, perfectly done. This is true family run business- dad is on the grill, mom is a waitress along with two sons, grandma is doing the dishes! Our 15 year old provided a better experience than we've had in a while! Refills on coffee, great recommendations and very attentive. We will find our way back here! read more

Our first time here this past Sunday. We were happy to see they have parking behind the building. It was very clean and the place has a comfortable feel with oversized white tufted benches at their booths. The bananas foster french toast was good. The french toast was very flat and definitely lacked something. The kids were so excited when their chocolate chip pancakes came out shaped like Mickey Mouse and drizzled with chocolate syrup. The sides of bacon and kielbasa were very good. The bacon was extra crispy and no spots of any fat! The service was decent - it is family run and we didn't have one dedicated waiter/waitress. The food came out very quick. They have a very large menu for breakfast and lunch. The prices are average for the area but the kids' prices are very good. read more

This restaurant is a fantastic place for breakfast in Worcester. The atmosphere is cozy, with a welcoming waitstaff. It is bright and very clean inside. The booth was quite comfortable. I enjoyed the special of Stuffed French Toast, which was a unique blend of raspberries and blackberries sandwiched between two slices smothered in a cream cheese sauce. Generous dollops of whipped cream were strategically placed throughout. So tasty and a beautiful presentation! My dining companions enjoyed Mediterranean Eggs Benedict and Corned Beef Omelet. They both couldn't say enough about how good the food was. A great start to our day with this breakfast. read more

Tasty food and good service! Pros: A little bit of a wait, but I view that as a good sign. Cons: There really isn't any space to wait. We were crammed in a small hallway and I felt like I was standing next to people eating Pros: Huge food menu, and the food was delicious! Like, REALLY good. See pics... Cons: Had to wait longer than expected for the food. Good food is worth the wait. Pros: You can see who is cooking your food and the cleanliness of the kitchen when you walk in Cons: The kitchen is right there in front of you when you walk in and it looks like they are already out of storage space. Overall, I think this restaurant is still figuring things out and they are doing a great job with 100% intention of serving great food to the community. Support this small business. read more

This place can put down some good breakfast. Their pancakes are so big and so fluffy like a cake in the pan. The pancakes absorbs all the syrup that you put up on it and they're delicious. Truly delicious. I am a breakfast. The other fixings which included the eggs, bacon and potatoes were great as well and this is definitely a restaurant I will go to and I will highly recommend for breakfast or brunch. It's a very quaint boutique style restaurant that offered some great food. read more

Came here from recommendation on Reddit and they did not disappoint. Its a family owned restaurant but they are killing it with their food. The restaurant is small and the entryway can get a little congested and awkward, but the seating is spacious and comfortable. We must have come on a day they were short staffed because the wait for our food was a bit long. The chef was in the kitchen doing his best, but you could tell they were slammed. The staff was very kind and gracious about the wait. We got our drinks served pretty fast and our order taken right away. The wait was worth the meal though both in quality and price. I ordered the double bypass sandwich and it just hit the spot. It was so filling and tasty. I don't know if it was the bread, the fluffy egg, the cheese or the thick ham, but together they make one delicious sandwich. The imperial was also just as good. The egg was fluffy and the French toast were warm and soft. No leftovers were brought home. Will definitely be back again to explore the rest of their very extensive menu. read more

My first time at 185 Bistro since I had visited them at their old location in Leicester. They were very welcoming when we walked in the door, and to me, that means a lot when visiting any establishment. We were seated quickly them seemed to get busy. He had Meatlovers Sandwich on and amazing homemade bulkie. I had an Omlette with homemade toast, and we both loved the perfectly seasoned Homefries! Great family run breakfast and lunch spot. read more

185 Bistro - Cinnamon roll pancake with cream cheese drizzle. OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Food 4.5 Service 2.0 Ambiance 3.0 The lower rating was purely a matter of super slow service, but it was a holiday weekend and appeared they were short staffed. We felt badly for the hard working staff who were visibly busy doing all the front to back of house tasks. At one point our waitress disappeared and seems to have ducked into the back to help with dish washing. They did have a note on the menu that said everything is made to order fresh which takes time, but we waited a bit over an hour from when we sat down to when we receive our food. That being said, Food was delicious. Omelets were made with fresh ingredients and fruit toppings for French toast were also fresh (strawberries) and not canned or cooked down to a compote. Hash brown potatoes were slightly crispy and on drier side, but some of us like that. The made to order omelets, breakfast quesadilla, French toast, and fried chicken eggs bennie was YUM. read more

Yummy! Got seated right away even on a Sunday at prime time for eating brunch. The place is super cute and even has parking behind it. I had the goat cheese omelet with rye toast and hash browns. My boyfriend had the 8 ounce prime rib dry aged with eggs, hash brown patty and rye toast. They were able to deliver on the right meat temperament for him. The prices are very reasonable for what you get for the volume of food. They have an extensive menu. Food all came out piping hot! We were not rushed in any way, which felt so wonderful in this day and age. We will definitely go back and work our way through the menu. read more

My wife and I went on Memorial Day morning. I had a pecan waffle which was delicious and my wife had an egg, cheese, and spinach breakfast sandwich on a homemade bulkie roll. She too thought is was delicious. I also ordered a side of bacon which was the worst looking bacon I have ever seen in a restaurant. It was totally brown and dried out. It looked like it could have been old or beyond acceptible date for serving. It still gives me chills that a cook would serve it! The service was average and took quite a long time to get our food. Overall, most of our food was tasty with the exception noted above. Do not waste you money on the bacon! read more

We're so mad we waited so long to try 185 Bistro! Our meal was excellent, the service was great, the restaurant was clean and bright. We enjoyed two different eggs benedict dishes- everything was delicious and tasted extremely fresh. My husband and I both agreed that these were the best home fries we've ever had! The prices are unbeatable for the quality and portion sizes. This will be our new regular spot! read more

The food was really good and plenty of it Went in for breakfast and had the omelet which delicious Need to try their lunch next time

Food was amazing, definitely the best breakfast spot I've ever gone too. 10/10 all around.

We went today for breakfast they were busy so I knew it would be a bit of wait for our food: scrambled eggs, toast, home fries and bacon, 2 eggs over medium, toast, bacon and home fries and eggs benedict: well it took over an hour to get our food, 2 orders were good but the eggs Benedict was raw, I cut into the eggs and the raw egg went all over the plate, so I sent it back and had to wait another 10 minutes and got over cooked eggs and the woman trying to tell me how the eggs should be cooked instead of just getting my eggs back to me. They didn't compensate my bill or apologize just wanted to tell me how I was wrong and the eggs were fine. This was the 3rd time I went first time was good 2nd okay and then this, I will not be back. read more

Food: Theres plenty of items on the menu that you can pick from, as well as the portion size were a good size. I felt that the home fries were a little too overcooked as they were deep-fried, but they were more on the stiffer side. Everything else was fine as I got a rather simple breakfast, I don't think you can really mess that up. Service: The servers were quick and attentive. Easy to get our orders Ambiance: it's a cute modern style breakfast spot, filled with family oriented people Location accommodation: it's right on the Shrewsbury Street where you can park on the side and there's also other restaurants and businesses that you can walk by through the strip. read more

I got takeout from here and it was okay. Definitely worth another visit to be wowed. The eggs seemed watered down. However, the home fries were flavorful and tasty. And toast is just toast. Like I said, it was okay. Worth another visit. read more

Good food, good menu, nice people. Corned beef bowl is a deconstructed hash. Tasty, with nicely poached eggs on top. Biscuits and gravy (on my second visit) good. Lots of black pepper, essential in a proper sausage gravy. Good home fries- well-seasoned and well-browned. Prices comparable to any other diner. Next time I'll try the baked beans available as a side to an omelette. A family business, it appears. Warm greetings and goodbyes from everyone. I'll be back. read more
