Great customer service, love the ambiance and delicious breakfast, my favorite is their over easy eggs. Must try.

The people place and food were deeelish!!! We had the pancakes were outstanding. Can't wait to go back!

For a small little place, it's really cute! The homemade corned beef hash was amazing. The omelette was ssooooooo good! The pancakes were not the worst but not the best! I really loved the waitress as she was so sweet. For 6 of us, our bill was 140. So worth it. read more

Love this place, old school red booth family diner with the best people in the world serving

A/C Marriott suggested for breakfast was a 5 minute walk. Nikki was our server. Sooo great. Checked often to see if all was okay. Quick service, great food and a clean nice diner. 5 of us at noon on Saturday. I had oatmeal with berries, just the right consistency, hot and delicious. Husband had the Two's special, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages and 2 pancakes. Pancakes were huge and yummy. 1 Italian breakfast for daughter said best ever, son had Caesar salad and clam chowder could not finish salad as was huge and clam chowder bowl hot and great taste. Other daughter a cheese and mushroom omelette with toast and potatoes, again great. What a hidden gem. Lots of locals know about and a great place for good food, service and price. read more

A wonderful, old-school diner. Very good scrambled eggs and their take on eggs Benedict was great. Staff was friendly, and it is clear this is a local place, in the best way. It has good parking. read more

Yet another amazing breakfast /brunch at the Kenmore Diner. We love this place (it's friendly, warm, and inviting). This week happens to be the new owners 1 year anniversary. I ordered the anniversary special and my wife ordered the eggs with Hollandaise sauce. Both were amazing. Good portions (we have leftovers for tonight)! We spoke to the chef and staff for a while. Everyone here is so friendly. Glad to see they're doing well. read more

Mid-mod decor makes a neat change from the (awesome) standard train car, and way nicer than the builder-built drywall special. Great service, food on par with the VERY high standard in Worcester. We went with an old pal which was a nice plus. Next time we must dig into the history; it looks from the fun photos on the wall that this is neither the first building nor the first location. One nit: bland home fries. Very minor complaint TBH. Will def go again. read more

Sometimes, you just want the classic diner. And this place is it. No, it's not going to win any points on location--it's literally underneath a freeway/train overpass. Came here bright and early for breakfast (~7am ish), and after some initial challenge figuring out how to get into the parking lot, we were seated very quickly at a very clean and well-lit booth as there was only one other set of customers in the restaurant. It got busier as time went on. The food is freshly-prepared and everything is consistently well made. The chocolate chip pancake for my kid was one of the best we've tried anywhere, and when you consider that it is less than $4, it is in a class by itself. I had a ham, cheese, and onion omelette that was also wonderful, came with tasty home fries and buttery toast. The sausages come in quantity and they're very tasty. Service was impeccable, host and wait staff very friendly. Note, it's cash only, but it is reflected in their prices, which seem to be from decades ago. We were very pleasantly surprised at this restaurant, and given our semi-regular visits to Worcester, we'll definitely be back! read more

Nice small diner with a very packed breakfast menu and a few lunch items. We went later morning on a Saturday and found it busy but not packed. We really liked the location underneath the train and all of the pigeons flying around and sitting in the structure. Guess we did some pigeon watching instead of people watching! They have a huge variety of omelettes and other egg dishes. My dining partner got the Greek omelette and loved it. It was absolutely packed with feta and olives. I tried the very unique two eggs any way with meatballs dish and it did not disappoint. Absolutely loved the meatballs. So tasty! Breakfast also came with bread (I went with cinnamon raisin and he went with Italian) that was nicely toasted and buttered. Both dishes came with home fries. They were just okay - had to add salt and pepper to mine. The portions were both large and filling. The prices were really good for the amount of food and unique offerings. read more

Solid choice for breakfast. It is the "cool diner" ambience that urged me to visit on a short trip back to my hometown.

Horrible. Horrible food, horrible new owner. waited 35 minutes for breakfast, not crowded, food was just awful. Owner was rude as can be. $49.00 inedible breakfast. read more

The couple have been running this place for decades, and it shows through their food. They cook things a special way you just can't get anywhere else. My favorites: breakfast sausage sandwich, everything omelette, pastrami cheese grinder, and the cb-hash. Gotta try this place! read more

Spoke with owner will be resolved, still a great place to go to get a good breakfast...

Service was great!! My boyfriends eggs were overcooked and his sausage was burnt. I ordered eggs benedict and wouldn't again but the menu looked great and since the service was so great and the atmosphere classic diner we will definitely be back to try new things! read more

I had a fantastic dining experience! The staff are so lovely, and I got seated immediately. The food was incredible (especially the chocolate chip pancakes). You can tell this place has been open a long time, because it feels very homey and welcoming. Highly recommend!!! read more

This is my usual breakfast spot. The food is simple , yet delicious. Jimmy is a great cook. My kids consistently ask to go dine here, even tho I have brought them to every breakfast place around. I often get a "all-meat omelette" with fresh coffee. Hits the spot! read more

Horrifying experience! After waiting in line for 20 minutes, I was told that because I am only a party of one that I could not sit at a table. I had to sit at counter only, of which there were only a few stools and due to health issues that would not have been comfortable for me. I told them that this was a very rude policy as sitting is arranged by how much money you're spending and absolutely zero accommodations for those whom wait in line just like everyone else. Waitress told me to have a nice day when I left. Absolutely horrifying experience!!!!! read more

I stopped in for breakfast one morning. It's seat yourself FYI. KD has a really homey feel to it. The waitress was attentive and I never had to ask for a refill. The food was delicious and hot off the grill. I ordered an omelette and thought the quality of ingredients (spinach, meats, mushrooms) were great. Would recommend. read more

This place is open 24/7 or so it seems. After a night out, my friends are always looking to eat, and Kenmore Diner is the usual spot to go since it's always open! The service is amazing and they definitely know their usual crowd. It's definitely super busy after the weekend night but service is spectacular. They have to have pretty good patience since half of their crowd are usually intoxicated after going out. They grab your drinks and take down your order faster than any place I've gone to with a happy perk, maybe it's because it's so busy they don't have enough time to slow down. The food comes out fast and is the usual breakfast choices, but you're paying for not having to cook and filling your stomach after a night out so I'd say it's worth it. They only take cash but there is an ATM inside. Also often times during the weekend nights after 2:30 there is almost always a wait. read more

Was referred her by my adult daughter. it's 3 minutes from St. V's, and is an awesome breakfast place. We eat Paleo, and this place had zero issues make accommodation for that weirdness. read more

Kenmore Diner is similar to many diners I have been to before. It was very busy when I went but we only waited about 20 minutes for a table. I am not really a fan of eggs, but decided to try to the deluxe egg sandwich and a side of homefries. The service was quick but not really friendly (very much a eat and go type vibe). I was pleasantly surprised by my sandwich. The veggies and cheese were cooked into the egg and there wasn't an overpowering egg taste (which is what I don't enjoy about eggs). Overall it was a good meal. However, I never received my homefries, which is the only reason there is a loss of a star. I would have asked about them but after 10 minutes and finishing my sandwich, I still couldn't wave down a server. Don't have high expectations when you go here. The food is good and they are quick but it's a typical diner atmosphere and can get very busy. read more

Typical Worcester diner. Big portions, affordable prices, cash only. The only thing that really sets Kenmore apart from other diners in the city is the speed of the service, which was very fast. Food is maybe a tad underseasoned, but easily fixed at the table. I would got to Kenmore again, but its not among the better diners in the city. read more

It's always a pleasure dining at Kenmore. After a night out with friends, I arrived here around 2:30AM. For those not from the area or those who have never been -- there is plenty of parking right in front of the diner. When I arrived there was a line and a bit of a wait (around 20 minutes) but it was well worth it! The staff are very friendly and super attentive and the service is pretty quick. I got the French toast and a side of eggs, the former was simple but so hearty! My friend got the blueberry pancakes and cheese omelette which she equally enjoyed. The serving sizes are good and very filling. She enjoyed her meal as well. It's always good eats and laughter at Kenmore, I encourage you to try it. read more

I found this place to be kind of lame, especially for a 21st century diner. I appreciate them being open late and taking us in, to feed our hungry bellies at 2 am but their menu options were dissapointing. We ordered water (and instead you get bottled water without being asked if that's ok) which was ok because I think the waitress forgot to charge us. But then I ordered a small juice ($.90) and instead she brings out a bottled juice which ended up being $1.50. Again not a big deal but tell me before hand. The thing I found lame about this diner was their lack of vegan options. I told her I couldn't eat cheese so she said well "fine order some eggs" and I said "nope don't eat those to." I asked her instead if I could do a scrambled potato mix with broccoli + onions + peppers and she said "no definitely not, he [cook] won't go for that" She didn't even ask the cook to see if he would do that. Now I have been to a few other diners - at Penn State and in the New Hampshrie boondocks and they had no problem doing that. Also diners in Boston and Watertown have some good veggie options so why can't Kenmore? After that all I wanted to do was go home. The homefries were good, but who wants just potatoes? So 1 star for the 21st century diner but 5 stars if you want the 1950s diner experience with limited options, rude service, and drunk townies. read more

Went here late night during a snow storm and were the only two people in the diner. Excellent food and the place was spotless. The two people working seemed like the owners and genuinely seemed happy that we were there. The only down side is that they ONLY take cash and the ATM charges a $4 fee. read more

When you're looking for something to eat at 3am after a night of drinking, the Kenmore is an awesome spot. Even if your friend decides he can give the waitress a hard time about not having egg beaters because he works in food service as well. Yo, drunk friend, eat your eggs and like them, won't ya? I'm so glad this place is back. The Kemore was destroyed in the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse fire. I remember watching the coverage of the fire on the news, and seeing the diner and being so totally bummed. But, they're back in action. Good for them. read more

I used to go to this place almost every other night after 2 AM in college. There are a lot of drunk kids here and sometimes they get kicked out. The food comes out fast, the staff doesn't take any shit and almost everything is decent. It's diner food, best suited for the late night crowd which is mostly drunk college kids, try to keep all that into perspective. read more

*** Worcester's Best Diner *** There is a reason the Kenmore Diner has been recognized so many times for being Worcester's Top Rated Diner. Breakfast is always cooked to order ... hot, fresh & delicious. This is a family business ... the owner, Jimmy, clearly runs a no-nonsense operation ... assisted by his lovely wife, Pauline & their extended family. With three generations of the Yantsides family working here, they clearly take great pride in ensuring that each of their customers (many loyal, returning families) gets their day started with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, attentive service & a delicious breakfast. read more

100% Worcesters best diner. Definitely was a regular here when I lived in Worcester and definitely will be back Love that after a night of drinking I can come in here and not even have to order, they already know what I want!! Phenomenal staff and great food! Try it once and you'll be hooked! read more

I have had breakfast here twice. Service was excellent and food was good and served very quick.

This was a quick stop for me and the crew this morning. We were in the mood for a good breakfast, so naturally the Kenmore popped into mind. Luckily, we were the first in line when we showed up. Wait time was a little long, but it was busy with few waitresses so it was understandable. I got the western omelette with home fries, kielbasa and corn beef hash. Food was served quickly once ordered, and everything was pretty tasty. No complaints from my table except for maybe the wait time. read more

Even at 3am the food is terrible, & the staff are rude- YUCK

It's average, food isn't anything amazing, super simple diner food. My cheeseburger omelette was literally 2 burgers wrapped in a super thin omelette. Burgers sucked btw, too dry, home fries was ok but I've definitely had better. Best part about this place was the parking. The diner itself is nice clean, well lit, if only the food was as nice as the atmosphere. read more

The Kenmore is my go-to breakfast place in the city. Most days they open late in the evening and are open until just after lunch the following day, so they're good late night or in the morning. The quality is consistent whether, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are hefty. Cash only but there is an ATM on site. read more
