I went for breakfast yesterday (Saturday) with my friend. There was a short wait but we got an excellent roomy booth. I ordered the French toast and we split a bacon cheddar home fry. I also got a large apple juice. The food was good, the French toast was good, I asked for no butter but I did get whipped cream on it. I just felt reallly full really fast but it was good. The server was okay, not the most attentive I've had, but it was a busy morning. I'd come back here in the future - although there are other breakfast places I prefer. read more

Lou Roc's rocks! If you like eating at diners, you have to go to Lou Roc's. They are open 6am-2pm and have an enormous breakfast menu. Also have many lunch items, like fried fish on Fridays. I love to have breakfast for lunch so I was in heaven here! Not only are the servings LARGE, they are very tasty. I had a Farmer's Omelet that was incredibly good. The raisin toast is to die. The service is what you would expect in a diner where everyone knows everyone and the regulars are king! Can't wait to go back!! read more

The food is fantastic, extremely large portions. Unfortunately there is typically a line but they do take out which is often what I do. The line moves fast so if you don't mind waiting it is more than worth it. If you do mind waiting it is still worth it. The staff is always happy to help make your experience top notch. Hands down one of the best Spots for breakfast in Worcester. read more

Yes, truly...this is as good as it gets. Visiting my besties in Worcester, and found a true gem of a restaurant. The service was quick and super friendly, even though the place was packed. I normally love taking pictures of my food before I eat, but my breakfast looked so good, I ripped into it before thinking. Everything came out fresh, hot and delicious. Real eggs, cheese, crispy bacon, the best corned beef hash I've ever eaten (nice and crispy the way God intended), fresh made HAND CUT toast, and huge delicious pancakes! OMG people...before you breathe your last breath on this Earth, eat a breakfast here. Top of my list for next visit is LUNCH! Be sure to bring cash for payment because the ATM charges a big fee. read more

Best breakfast around! Jodi an Diane always take great care on my crew on Friday mornings.

Breakfast at Lou's. The best diner in Worcester County, perhaps in the whole state of Massachusetts. However Italian sausage for breakfast - a very welcome bonus. Staff are always cheerful and most welcoming. Portions are huge. Recommend: Bring a healthy appetite. You will not be disappointed! read more

First time going here today and it was absolutely packed. The woman seating people was very nice and it didn't take too long for us to be seated. The waitress was very nice as well and checked in with us several times to make sure we had everything needed. The food was really good, huge portions, well priced. Additionally the food cake out really fast. We had the graham cracker crusted French toast with bananas, cinnamon apple pancakes, and sausage-home fries-toast-eggs. I love the homefries they were yummy! I do wish they had kids meals for breakfast. My four year old received way too much food for him to eat but oh well I'll eat the leftovers later. I would come back here again for sure! read more

Lou Roc's is my go-to spot for great food at amazing prices.... the omelettes are huuuuuuge. They usually last me 2 days. Probably my favorite place to eat in Worcester!! read more

The food portions here for breakfast are out of control! Whatever meal that you order you always get the most food. If you are hungry and looking for a good, reasonable priced breakfast, then definitely come here! My favorite thing to get is the Irish Benedict. Talk about leftovers! Just be prepared to smell like breakfast food when you walk out of there! The smell easily sticks to your clothes! read more

Came in after searching for a good breakfast sandwich in the Worcester area. I'm a college student so it's important I don't spend a lot of $$$... Sandwich was on a super fresh bulky roll, came within 5 minutes of ordering, and the home fries were in a large portion still steaming. Definitely recommend and will be back again! read more

Had a take out order for lunch and it was ok to average. The Turkey 3D had real bacon which was great but the Turkey meat was the Deli thin sliced version rather than real Turkey meat. The french fries were the frozen type and not real hand cut type. Had a side of their homemade Corned Beef Hash and it was Ok also not great the potatoes were the frozen type out of a bag that were shredded. It was a good but far from being the best like all fresh ingredients made from scratch. Next time I will try a full breakfast and update my review. Everyone working there was friendly and inviting which was nice. Their portion size of everything I saw was very generous and the prices were very reasonable and on par with most Diners in the Worcester Area. read more

First time customer and this will be my new weekend diner for breakfast. The food was AMAZING. I don't write reviews much on yelp but this place definitely deserved one. read more

Amazing food. Portions huge. Staff super friendly. Place gets packed early. Highly recommend.

Honestly the best breakfast place near me! Been going for a couple years and it's the perfect place! The food is magnificent and it gives you a homey vibe with all the waitstaff. Going on a sat/sun morning there may be a little wait but nothing too bad. Cash only here but there's an ATM inside. Recommend the chocolate chip waffles. read more

My absolute favorite diner around. You get more than your money worth in food. And the service is outstanding!

I'm not much of a breakfast person so when I give this place 5 stars it's really saying something. We had a bite of everything we could fit on our table. Grilled blueberry muffin, homemade corned beef hash, huge omelets, chocolate chip pancakes, hash browns and homemade raisin toast. Absolutely everything we ate was perfect. This was by far the BEST breakfast I've ever had. read more

Amazing! I went in at lunchtime and had breakfast. Wow what a lot of food they put on the plates! Go in hungry!! Everything was so delish! If you want to keep the price down, forget asking for juice. I had a cranberry juice and for a tiny glass it was very pricey. Next time I go, I'll have coffee with my meal. read more

Very good breakfast foods. I usually come here to get the polish benedict. They always give a large portion and I always have leftovers. I would recommend take-out if it is an option because there is always a line. read more

had a great birthday breakfast at lou rocs! if you want excellent service ask for kelsey! she was the best! get a chocolate chip pancake too! read more

Don't be fooled: if you don't like diner food Lou Roc's won't change your mind. But if you do like diner food, you won't find a better place. Huge portions (really!), well prepared dishes (I love their homemade corn beef hash), and reasonably priced. Highly recommended. read more

Best Eggs Irish around this area! Their homemade hash is amazing!! Small dining room, so be prepared wait, but the service is quite quick. Cash only. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Delicious and friendly. Excellent service. Great menu. Prices are reasonable. Excellent portions. Like homemade

1/25/18 my husband picked up a turkey dinner and stuffed peppers for our supper ..they are usually great .This time the turkey dinner was absolutely terrible.... no stuffing lots of dark meat(looked like bark mulch) and very little white meat.I was so looking forward to this and was very dissapointed. I contacted them via Facebook message and then when I got no response sent a comment right to the Facebook page...which they did not choose to print.I think it's sad when a place just ignores a customer when they have a problem.I guess they have so much business they can ignore an unhappy customer....too bad because we just loved the food there up to that point and would have gone back again figuring it was just a one off.Now I feel they just don't care about their customers and don't want our business... read more

Very popular and busy spot! Make sure to have a few minutes in hand before you get seated! Great food and good size portions.

If you want to see one of the biggest servings of breakfast food in your life, visit Lou Roc's Diner. Food and service was great! Only problem with the place was the wait, which could become an issue if your time is tight, but everyone working there was hustling and bustling. I recommend this place! read more

Came for breakfast on a Sunday. Arrived around 9:30 and there was a little line. We waited for about 15 minutes. If you don't mind sitting at the counter those seats always seemed available. The food was good with very generous portions. My husband and I both got omelettes and pancakes to split. The pancakes were delicious and fluffy. Definitely worth the stop in at a local gem! read more

we were anxious to try after reading so many good reviews. I ordered irish benedict with home made hash. Husband ordered fried eggs, over easy with home fries and toast. Wait to be served was 25 min. place was full but no waiting line. Hash was good but quite salty, poached eggs were unfortunately well done, expected hollandaise sauce but it turned out to be cheese sauce. Coffee was mud. Husbands eggs were over done. We thought the home fries were good and if portion size is what your after there was tons of food on our plates. Lots of hash, lots of potatoes. Would not go back. read more

Lou Roc's is phenomenal. Their portions are huge and the food is always amazing. This is probably my favorite breakfast spot ever. If you plan to go on a weekend, you should expect to wait a little while to be seated. The longest I've ever had to wait is about 30 minutes (at around 11:30am on a Sunday) but it's always worth it. The portion of homefries is about 3 times the size of other breakfast spots in the area, and their homemade corned beef hash is the best around. On weekends (maybe weekdays too, I'm not entirely sure), they have a list of specials and they all sound so good that I usually have a tough time choosing. I am always completely satisfied with my meal no matter what I order, and I've tried almost everything on the menu. The service is always quick and friendly. I've been eating here for years and I have no complaints, they even extended the dining area a couple years ago to make the wait a little shorter. This place is definitely worth checking out if you find yourself in West Boylston. read more

Good food, great portions. Waitress cost this place the extra stars. Poor attitude, made to feel like we were bothering her if we asked for anything, and very argumentative personality. I take service into account as tipping is part of the bill in my eyes. The server really ruined the experience and we felt as if we were being rushed out the door because noon was approaching. read more

The best Diner around in the whole Shrewsbury/Worcester area. The staff is really nice, we had a little baby with us and even in that tight space in the restaurant they made us feel welcome, gave us a larger place to sit so we can take care of the baby. The food was out of this world and like other's mentioned, there are long lines on weekend but it didnt take more then 10 min. to get us seated. The food was nice and fresh by far the best breakfast I had, the serving was very very generous. Plenty of parking and place is cash only. read more

YUM. Huge portions, delicious food, awesome wait staff. This place has just become my favorite diner. I went on a Saturday around noon and it was pretty packed. We didn't have to wait long (it was just two of us), but you may have to wait a bit if you come with a bigger party. Bring cash (credit cards not accepted) and your appetite, you won't regret it. read more

I arrived prior to 9am and had the special, biscuits and gravy. Biscuits were dry and dense. The sausage gravy was bland gravy with breakfast sausage links cut up and thrown in. I honestly wish places would stop putting this on the menu if they can't execute. Eggs- I requested poached to top my side of homemade hash with, they appeared poached, but were actually overcooked and no yolk exploded when poked with my fork. Server was lovely. I was seated in 10 mins. Next time I'll get something a bit more standard to the northeast....like..... read more

I've been dropping in here for breakfast for years, but only on weekends. Today I went for lunch with my ma and it was ridiculous how busy they were. We ended up here because there are so few decent spots to eat on that side of the city, it's a real food wasteland. When I noticed that the lot was jammed and we snagged the only spot left I thought the cars must be for the other businesses in the plaza next door, but that didn't make sense. Never mind my weird thought process. Back to Lou Rocks. We went inside and there were several other parties waiting to be seated. I was tempted to leave, but more curious to see what made this place packed o a Friday at lunch on the outskirts of the city. So we waited. And waited. And waited. Finally there was a mass exodus of diners, and within minutes everyone who had been waiting was seated! Yay! The waitress was quick, nice, and efficient. She got our drinks order, and when she came back we ordered. I got fish and chips and chose the thin batter [(the other option was thick, which is cool if you're into it, but I'm more about less breading because then I can claim that I'm experimenting with Atkins and be relevant once my time machine's up and running again) you just let me know if I'm abusing my bracket privileges]. Did I mention my son was there? No? Well he was. And he was a LITTLE fussy. What I like about good diners is that people who eat there are generally ok with kids brings a LITTLE fussy. Now I know that that isn't much of a critique of the establishment itself, but you don't want to eat at a place where only mean jerks eat. That's none of the fun. In my experience there are ZERO jerks eating at Lou Rock's, and I'd bet that in general there's probably VERY FEW, and while I'm no expert on the dining habits of jerks, I am an expert on red herrings, so you can TRUST me. The food! In the past when I've gone here the breakfasts were not just BIG, (which lots of diners do) but they were also really good (which only a handful of diners do). Lunch was the same, which totally threw me off, because diners very rarely hold down a solid breakfast AND lunch. In closing, I'm a picky snob who doesn't like a lot but I like Lou Rock's a lot. Oh! Plus cheap! Plus cash only [{(ridiculous ATM in building) plan ahead} for real, those ATMs have pirate level fees]. read more

Always yummy. Big Portions...the best homemade beef hash in the area. Fast and friendly service. You do usually have to wait...but sooooo worth it. read more

Everything about this place is awesome. Good food served quickly, only downsides are lack of parking and cash only policy. They do have an ATM onsite thought which is good. Plus if the location is busy, that just means it's good!! read more

In my opinion, there aren't many breakfast places where everything on the menu is good. At Lou Rocs, you will never leave unsatisfied. Their large portions and inexpensive prices are perfect for a college student like myself. Their chocolate chip pancakes, omelets, and breakfast quesadillas are he best i've ever had. The coffee is always piping hot and your cup will never be empty as the waitresses come around often to refill your mug. The food is always hot and fresh. You will not be disappointed in Lou Rocs breakfast! read more

I awoke early Saturday morning and was kinda happy to find nothing in the fridge to eat for breakfast.Hmmm where should I go ? While showering,I was trying to think of a breakfast place that I hadn't visited in a while and viola! I remembered Lou Roc's.At the same location since 1959 it has undergone some drastic remodeling over the years. You would never know that a real diner car lurks underneath it all.All that remains visible is the barrel roof in the main area.It's only about a 20 min. ride and on the way I was hoping that they had the homemade hash on the menu.Being a self proclaimed "hash hound",I usually have it if it's available.Some are better than others.Their version is really outstanding!A large helping ,with onions,cooked crispy to my liking and covered with a couple of perfectly cooked poached eggs and with multi-grain toast on the side. Nice. The portions here are really huge! I devoured it in no time. Plenty of good coffee and a friendly chat with the waitress rounded out my experience. I like discovering new places because sometimes you can find a really nice place to add to your list but,I gotta remember to come here more often . This place delivers quality consistently time and time again. read more

This is the best breakfast place in the Worcester area! The staff are so friendly, the portions are huge and the food is amazing. I never am disappointed with my visits here! read more

As far as the diners go this is one of the best. The food is really good. But then why 3 stars? The food is really good but heavy, definitely not an everyday breakfast kind of food. But my problem is the environmental impact of this place. The creamers for the coffee are the little plastic packaged single serving creamers, which I use at least 3 per cup. For the coffee they use individually packaged coffee grinds, good for single carafe brewing. For how cocoa they use single serving SwissMiss packages. All of these create a lot of waste created for the convenience of it. I will miss the polish eggs benedict with kielbasa but I won't be going to this place again. That is my stand against businesses who are disrespectful to the environment. I hope somebody from the restaurant realizes this soon and changes their way... read more

I stopped @ Lou Roc's on the recommendation that I found on this site. Lou's is a diner car with an addition on the front. The place was crowded, but I was great quickly by a friendly waitress who found me a seat at the counter. Coffee also came quickly. I ordered a Greek omelette, which needed up being about the size of my head. This three egg omelette was deliciously packed with fresh produce, and accompanied by a pile of home fries and toast. I ended up leaving about half of it on the plate, but only because I was stuffed and unable to eat more. This was my first visit, but I assure you, it won't be my last. read more
