    Visiting from SC, I was blown away by a perfect lobster roll!! And the proprietors, Bill and…read moreJeanette, were super friendly. A small cafe with a great, homey vibe. And did I mention that the cold lobster roll - with fresh Maine lobster - is perfect??? It was so good I returned the next day to try the hot lobster roll and the lobster bisque. Like on my first visit, the owners were great and the food was absolutely delicious.

    Tight to the towering yellow sign for "Great Wall" in the heart of downtown Worcester you'll find…read morethe unassuming Theater Cafe quietly tucked into the streetscape. You'd be forgiven for walking past without a second look, assuming it's just another mom and pop breakfast and lunch joint. One doing a brisk takeout business for the neighboring businesses and likely not a place you'd try for more upscale fare. You'd be wrong! Beyond the admittedly dated decor and past the countertop service of dinner standards is a kitchen that turns out food that hits well above its weight. With a daily list of specials that would do most $50 a plate restaurants proud expect to have your first impressions blown away. Haddock cooked with a very Mediterranean mix of artichokes, olives, onions, and cherry tomato's in a lemon/butter/ fish stock, Jambalaya done wet in the traditional New Orleans style with house made creol seasoning, a shrimp and veg stir fry with Bok Choy served uniquely with fat fettuccine noodles in the house made broth. All spectacularly good, all incredibly under priced! A word about the wine list: there is none! Far better, it's BYOB with food that justifies pulling your better bottles. Perfect. Don't spread this around, but the daily lunch specials mirror the by reservation only dinner menu...for half the price. In sum, Theater Cafe far exceedes expectations and delivers a remarkable value. You come here for the food, not for the ambiance, perfect service, to be seen by the right people, or God forbid because some snooty food critic deigned to give it 5 stars. It's a place Michelin will never review and we should all be greatful for that.
