    I love me a tight griddle set-up! Want want want this in my house!!! Corner Lunch!! - A commercial kitchen features a large stainless steel griddle with some food cooking on it, surrounded by shelves holding stacked plates and bowls. There are cooking utensils and a small appliance nearby, with a countertop holding disposable food containers, a face mask, and newspapers. The background includes metallic walls and a plastic bag with eggs, indicating food preparation in a restaurant or diner.

    Classic, once again Worcester showing how to do the simple things right. Let's start where many others already have, with the pancakes and French toast. Many many thumbs up! The eggs, on point. The OJ: delightful. The coffee, well let's just say that Jack Reacher would be proud. These good folks know how to do a fried egg over medium. It's got the archetypal diner architecture. It's got hung-over students from Holy Cross, WP, and Clark University all working their early Sunday hangover mojo. And, it's got sass: I was about a quart low to my son's dismay, "Dad how could you have lived in Boston all those years and not be ready for a little backtalk?" Jeez how right he is! Be assured that I will be ready next time, and that the next time will be soon.

    This diner is exactly as I expected it to be. The seats were glittery gold and some were embellished with gold duct tape to hold together their seams. There's no shame in that, it gives it charm. Walking in, one shouldn't expect some over gusto greeting, it's a diner, seat yourself anywhere or at the counter and get someone's attention to order when you're ready. Food selections aren't over complicated, tho if you're a vegan or vegetarian I think you'd be hard pressed for breakfast because everything is cooked on the same cooking space. I ordered the #2 two eggs, sausage/ bacon and toast, with a side of spicy hashbrowns. The eggs were exceptionally delicious as I could taste the hint of meats on them. Sausage and bacon cooked just how I ordered and wanted. Plus the hot chocolate had enough whipped cream to satisfy anyone that loves the stuff. Food came out in a very fast manner as I sat at the counter and watched him cook it myself.

    Driving around on a Sunday morning looking for a breakfast place. Every other place we passed was packed with a line waiting to get in. Came across Corner Lunch and decided to give it a try. It is a typical looking diner...l) a little outdated (and I wouldn't have it any other way). Specials board was just inside the door, filled with some great options. The also had a pretty well rounded regular menu. Our server was awesone...very pleasant with just a little "diner waitress" attitude. They were busy but never had a line out the door...not sure why, maybe the location which is a little off of the beaten path. All of the food we ordered was amazing. Between the three of us we had eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage, ham steak, french toast and waffles. Everything was spot on. We will definitely be back!

    Boulevard Diner - Chocolate Chip Pancakes

    Great experience here on a Sunday morning. Despite the limited seating, we were at immediately…read more It's super cute and nostalgic in there. The waitress was awesome, super quick and attentive. Our food was at our table less than 15 minutes after ordering. Everything was great, a perfect classic diner breakfast. My omelette and home fries were delicious, but ending with a chocolate chip pancake was my favorite part.

    Drunk food ... that's what you get here. There is a lot of variety but nothing is done well. When…read moreyou have been out at the bars in Worcester and need a little something to absorb the alcohol ... and a plate of sausage, meatballs and pasta sounds like a good idea at 1 a.m. ... you come here. Ypu also get to see slme of the hardest working people on the planet navigate a small space while cooking for a packed restaurant. This is one of the few train car diners out there, popular in the 1930's and actuslly made near Worcester, these train car diners are a stalle of central Massachusetts. This isn't the New York or New Jersey style diner, its something uniquely its own New England setting. Its alwsys packed here. You'll be sitting elbow to elbow with boisterous and well lubricated club and bargoers on small yet surprisingly comfortabke stools at the counter ... or may be lucky enough to score one of the incredibly unckmfortable wooden booths, where the staff gets to watch 4 people attempt to navigate elbows and knees to eat their hangover saving food. The food here is not what you'd hope to get at any other restaurant. However, you can't knock it because the dry toast, rubbery omelettes and ketchup-like red sauce are one of the only options this late at night standing between you and a morning full of headache and sluggishness. Nothing you eat here will be good ... but it won't be bad either. Just as athletes and body buikders eat food as fuel, with little actual thought to the taste .. that's your mission here. This is a rite of passage for anyone who has lived in, or near, one of the worst small cities in the USA. Embrace and enjoy the tradition and the wonderfully vintahe interior, virtually unchanged with time since the 1930s ... 1990s ... and today. The only exception to that rule is that they mercifully started to take credit cards recently, making it a lot easier to make the call to walk through those rattling wooden doors at 2 a.m. still thinking about almost scoring at a bar.

    Lou Roc's Diner - Beef Patty Melt

    Small place, doesn't look like a diner from the outside, but once inside the back room, you can see…read morethe tell-tale diner shape. Interesting hot rod decor to distinguish it from the rest. Busy joint, tight seating, and energetic servers who keep attentive. -- Patty Melt: So much to like about this, from the marble rye (though I think pumpernickel) to the full size patty (better than the double smashed you get elsewhere) to the onions to the gooey melted cheese to the extreme juiciness and pleasing flavor. I didn't detect any Russian dressing, but this sandwich wasn't lacking for moistness or flavor oomph. A near-elite rendition and one of the best I've had in a while. Excellent. -- Fries: Included with the patty melt and a plentiful supply. The bad news: they're the dreaded industrial "coated" kind. The good news: they were piping hot and cooked perfectly, crisp outside, fluffy inside. The great news: you can substitute home fries. My server offered a sample of the home fries. -- Home Fries: I found them to be right in my wheelhouse for doneness, crispness, seasoning, onions, and overall texture and flavor. Superb. Between the good looking plates that passed by and my enjoyment of my own food on my first visit, there's sure to be a second. Looking forward to returning with my wife for breakfast and more of those home fries.

They have an ATM onsite, but was not working (most likely empty) when we were there. But I just drove down the street to a gas station and grabbed some cash. NBD. The food was super incredibly delicious. My wife had the chicken and waffles and I had corned beef (homemade, not canned) and eggs and toast. All was delicious and huge portions. Definitely returning for our next breakfast meal!

    Marvins Corner Lunch  - Cornbeef Hash, Pickle bread

    Intended to go to another diner around the corner but there was a line. Drove right to Marvin's,…read moreparked and posted up on two duct tape covered stools behind the grill. The ambience was truck stop dingy-and I was a little hesitant to be honest. The server got us coffee and had a great sense of humor and put smiles on our faces. Ordered French toast (made with raisin bread) and two eggs, corned beef hash and a house made English muffin. The winner for me was the corned beef hash! House made corned beef and shredded potatoes, cooked in such a way to have the perfect balance of crisp/soft texture. And the taste---heaven on a fork!! The other surprise hit - the house made English muffin! Delish! Sitting behind the grill and watching the chef work was a delight. The orders stacked up, and he kept 'em moving, and even delivered a few plates to customers. He never lost his cool, kept his voice low, was polite and gracious I to the servers and customers. Excellent all around!!!

Lots of counter stools and booths in 1950s pastel yellows and greens. My visit was a patty melt quest. They happily served it during the morning hours. The good: - Proper use of rye bread and onions - Proper buttering and griddling of the bread - Beef pink and juicy - Can substitute tots or hash browns for fries - Good flavors and mostly good textures The not-so-good: - Cheap beef with a clenched feel; a bit rubbery The cooking and overall presentation overcame the weakness of the beef ingredient to yield a tasty and pleasurable finished product. But the beef is noticeable as the weak link. Spicy hash browns were very good. Soft texture with some crispness too, and very enjoyable spiciness that didn't overpower. Decent coffee. Friendly service.
