Huge portions of classic diner food at fairly reasonable prices. The menu at Lou Roc's is similar to other Worcester diners, but this is probably the most food I've ever been served at one. The quality is pretty good as well. Home fries are worth eating and the corned beef hash is home made. I strongly recommend you order something with it, it's very good the next day and you will definitely have leftovers. From the outside, Lou Roc's looks like your typical suburban business, but there is an original diner car at the core, the restaurant has just been expanded around it. You will probably have to wait, but not overly long. read more

We love diners, and this one came with decent food, a big menu that gets creative and a very nice waitress. Overall I'd recommend them for an above average diner although, I'm pretty sure our waitress overcharged us by about ten dollars. read more

Lou Roc's Diner - Steak & cheese omelette - Diners Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Had breakfast here this morning it's the first day masks are optional so I knew it would be busy and it was. Got there around 9 so that's peak breakfast time there were like three party's ahead of us but I figured it was worth the wait and it was . We got seated about 15 minutes later but you do have to pay attention when your waiting because they weren't taking names on a list and we did get skipped over by another party, but were seated next a couple minutes later . We were seated at the counter which was fine with me and my companion, it was wicked busy and a lot of takeout orders flying out the door. They have a pretty standard diner menu with a lot of choices. We got coffee and our orders taken relatively quickly for as busy as it was. The specials menu had a lot of great options but the Italiano scramble caught my eye. So ordered that my companion ordered some food to go and just got cinnamon raisin toast to eat there. The food took a little while to come but the waitress kept our coffee full while we waited. My meal came in a togo container but that's ok it was extremely busy the waitress offered to put in on a plate but I told her it wasn't necessary and I'd probably need a container anyway because the portion was pretty big. The italiano scramble was delicious I got the Italian toast with it and it was thick cut Italian bread ( my favorite). You could get it with mild or hot sausage, I chose the hot sausage. The marinara sauce on it was really good the were plenty of pieces of sausage and peppers and onions and the cheese they used was excellent quality. My companion liked his toast and later told his takeout he got was excellent. My meal was really good and did end up taking half of it to go and enjoyed later for a late lunch. I just want to commend the kitchen staff for such good food even with a crazy busy restaurant also I think the waitress staff there were doing an awesome job despite the so many people in a kinda tight place. The waitresses knew a lot of people by name so I think that's a good sign that they have a lot of regular customers which is a good sign that it's a very good diner. I give it 5 stars because I've been here a few times and it's always really good and the staff is awesome, it's so good to see a local diner still thriving after the pandemic because the pandemic did hurt a lot of small businesses. So I say now that people are getting vaccinated and things are looking better for you to go out and dine safely, GO OUT AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES. read more

A fan for this diner. Bf and I come here almost every Sunday for our breakfast. I would recommend their veggie scramble, home made hash and few others. Their french toast was ok and pancakes are pancakes. It's around $7 a dish but large portion. I never finish a dish. Definitely recommend this place. Sunday close at 1. read more

Cash only, long waits... But worth it. The lunch specials during the week are a great place to start. Roast Beef or Meatloaf are large portions and hearty. The breakfast is also good (pancakes, crepes, omelettes, waffles, corned beef hash, all amazing) but on weekends the place is impossible. Again, worth the wait and frustration of piling up by the door and arguing over who is next. read more

Lou Roc's Diner - Coffeeeeee - Diners Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

We've been here several times, and the service and food are always excellent. Prices are low, cash only. Only issue we have here, and its a persistent issue is lack of adequate parking. The lot is always full. read more

Not good at all. Food ok but certainly subpar. Actual building is rather badly maintained and not clean. Hoping I won't get sick. Ordered side salad and tuna melt. Salad was gigantic (neither here nor there considering it's a side salad) and reasonably fresh. Tuna melt was disappointing. Tuna was particularly fishy, and a grilled sandwich shouldn't be cold inside. And, it's a "melt". The cheese wasn't melted. All told, $15 for this and a Diet Coke. I wouldn't recommend it, but I don't know what the local alternatives are. read more

Loved the place! Heaping amounts of tasty food for a very good price. It was small but busy when I went, so I had to wait but it was more than worth it! read more

Lou Roc's Diner - Sausage, home fries, bacon, pancake, and hashbrowns. Huge side portions! - Diners Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Friendly people, both customers and staff. Seems like a lot of locals. Perfect diner environment. Bad to mediocre food (at least what I had). I've only been here once, so it's possible they have some standouts. Anyway, four stars cause of my binary attitude towards the star system. read more

Long wait in line, but great service and good food!! I had the Big breakfast and it sure was BIG!! read more

Had always heard of how good breakfast was here but every time I drove by was packed or I didn't have cash and they only take cash. Stopped in on a Tuesday morning and ordered a veggie omelette and a side of homemade corned beef hash. The omelette came out and it was massive and stuffed to the brim with yummy veggies and cheese. Much more plentiful than most places. Homemade hash was huge on its little plate and ate it between two people and still had leftovers. It was delicious as was simple just corned beef, potatoes, and some seasoning no peppers or onions which I don't usually like in my has anyways. Waitress was super attentive too with how many people were there. I will definitely be back!! read more

The food was amazing. The beef hash is a must! The environment of the place, along with the staff, makes it a warm, cozy place that makes you want to be a regular there. Also, all the food comes in large portions and isn't overpriced. The diner only accepts cash, but it's well worth it! read more

Hands down THE best diner in Worcester. The food is outstanding and the staff is very friendly. The irish benedict with homemade hash is amazing! read more

Lou Roc's Diner - Top: omelette with cheddar cheese, spinach, mushrooms and spicy italian sausage. Bottom: Irish benedict with homemade hash! - Diners Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

I eat there at least once a month. They have a delicious breakfast and their portions are ridiculous. usually have half and then take half home. Unless you're really really hungry. They also have a great daily specials. Like American chop suey and their are homemade lemon chicken soup . a teeny bit salty. But I like the salt. The wait staff are amazing you never have to ask for anything. They always refill your coffee and knowing you need something. I suggest everybody go. Especially on the weekend be prepared to wait. But they move fast read more

Lou Roc's is extremely friendly with fantastic (if albeit unhealthy) diner food available. The only negative here is that there is a serious backup of customers (and that is actually a good thing) to the point where as much as I would like to go there on Saturday mornings, I don't even try anymore, so I rarely go there anymore. It's either this diner or the Boulevard that is my favorite Worcester-area diner. read more

Lou Roc's Diner - Irish Benedict - Diners Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Best diner in the area. Corned beef hash is fabulous, omelette Blackstone is great (spinach, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, and hollandaise- how bad could that be?), and decent home fries. Try the raisin toast, too. Efficient and friendly waitstaff, with the level of cheeriness varying with how frantic they are. Lunches decent too- a patty melt was a little too greasy (even for a patty melt!), but the meat loaf special (on Tuesdays) tastes like mom's. Big portions of shepherd's pie and the like will keep you filled all day. I've never left here disappointed, and you won't either. read more

Incredible home cooked food. Very generous portions. Quite delicious. They only take cash but there is a cash machine in the little lobby. read more

Our favorite breakfast place for weekend. Food tasts great, quantity is soo much that we r not able to finish whatever we ordered.

I loveee their omelets and their serving sizes are humongous!! I would definitely come back

Just ate a fabulous meal here today. Can't say enough about this place. Super friendly staff, great food, ridiculously large portions. If you want an old school diner experience don't miss it. The prices are a throw back to a time when eating out didn't cost you an arm and a leg. read more

I love their black stone omelette and their fresh bread wish the coffee had more flavor but that could just be me.

Love this place. Food is great and plenty. The wait staff is awesome and friendly. We go every weekend.

Came in on the reviews. Lots of locals here. Pricey for a guy from Florida. But its because there's lots of food served. I would come back again read more

More food than one can eat, at least for Jeff's homemade hash! Really great hash, you need at least 3 eggs( or 4!) to get the right egg-hash ratio!!!! My wife's Texas french toast was incredible! Sitting at the count was a riot, the servers are a gas!!!! read more

Love this place. We often do pick up for breakfast. Great sausage and cheese stuffed french toast. Alwats super nice.

No wonder this place is always crowded! Huge quantities of excellent food (best hash ever) delivered quickly. We had to wait in line to be seated but it moved quickly, and we "doggie bagged" enough to have for breakfast the next day. Great breakfast place, looking fwd to trying lunch! read more

Lou Roc's Diner - Diners Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Best Dinner in central MA. I go there for lunch on Thursday and get the pot roast for $9.95 largest portion you will get anywhere. The reason I gave it four is sometimes the waitress's aren't that attentive. But you won't get bigger portions for breakfast or lunch anywhere that I know ove. read more

As far as diners go, it doesn't get much better than this. Great spot. It's usually pretty busy, but they churn very quickly.

I simply wanted hash and home fries ... homemade hash was tremendous- hell overall the whole experience was .. sat at the counter and loved it - heads up this plate gets packed - gets packed! read more

Great breakfast but just a little tidbit of information every Thursday they have a turkey dinner which is amazing but they close early so order yours before they run out read more

We had a terrific late breakfast at Lou roc's. The outdoor tent was comfortable and socially distanced service was excellent. And I LOVE the home made corned beef hash. Thank you for helping us all stay sane with terrific, hearty food and upbeat staff. read more

We come here at least twice a month and never have a bad thing to say about it! From their omelettes to pancakes and beyond, we have been impressed with Lou Roc's since day one. Their Blackstone and Philly Cheesesteak omelettes are to die for and you can't go wrong with their pancake or french toast specials. There is always something to be impressed about here! There is no hostess, so just wait in line behind the next guy and you'll get a seat when one opens up. This place gets extremely busy because of how good it is, so try to get there before 9 on the weekends! You won't be disappointed. read more

Nothing more you can ask for when a place has great food and great prices. There's always a wait for breakfast but it's well worth it when the food comes to your table. I always get the meat lovers breakfast quesadilla when I go. But I've dabbled in other menu items and everything is always great. Waitresses are always friendly and service is always good despite it being so busy at times. read more
