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

I admit, I've only been here for breakfast, but if the smells coming from the kitchen are any indication, everything else on the menu tastes just as good. Lou Roc's is home to the second-best hash I've ever tasted (that's a compliment, I've eaten a lot of hash at a lot of places all across the US). My wife and I always walk in starving, we always get hash with two eggs over easy, toast, and hash browns, and we always walk out with a take-out container wondering why we didn't split the order. Fantastic diner, always a wonderful standby with fresh-cooked made-to-order food and great staff. read more

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

Decided to get some take out this morning- between my coworker and I we ordered two sides of toast, two sides of bacon, an omelette, and two order of homefries- total came out to $19.00. Pretty pricey for a diner. Once we sat down to eat, I realized there were many hairs in my homefries. I have bright red hair- all of these hairs were black and white. Appetizing. Not worth the hype at all- just another townie spot. read more

Best breakfast around..Great portions...Bacon cheddar home fries are the best around...

Absolutely love this place! Great food the waitresses are crazy. Not your typical breakfast diner. There are always new items on the menu. Talk about comfort food. This is what a diner should be. Get in early cause the line gets long but well worth the wait! 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

I love this place and apparently so does everyone else because it's always packed every morning! Their servings size is the typical way too much but for the price, why not? I love the way they make their hash, I can never quite get it the same at home. Atmosphere is small and crammed but waitresses are always very attentive once you're seated- it just adds to the diner feel. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place. I suggest the Belgian waffle with bacon and cheddar cooked into it. I'm not a fan of eggs, but those who are love their scramblers. I would like to recommend their filo dough wrapped French toast with whipped cream and strawberries. The first time I ordered it I was in love. The second time it had too many layers of dough and the inner ones weren't cooked. Note- bring cash and be prepared to wait. It can get a bit loud at times. 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.

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 only place for Breakfast in Worcester! The people are the friendliest around! There is almost always a short line, because people can't get enough of Lou Roc's. The good news is the line goes fast, never longer than 15-20 minute wait, it seems. The portions are huge and the food is always fresh. Good diner coffee. On the weekends they have a variety of specials. CASH ONLY. There is a sign to warn you on the way in, but I always forget. There is an ATM, down the street in the Stop & Shop, or up the street at the bank, if you need it...but you have to drive to either. read more

This place is simply amazing! I went there on a Sunday morning (with the time change we got there 1 hour later than what I wanted) and although it was packed we didn't have to wait for long. I had their grapefruit juice and a cup of black magic (it's bottomless for $2!!!). I had the frosted flaked french toast. Let me tell you that it was love at first bite! The toasts were crunchy and soft at the same time and so dang delicious. Is it allowed that you jump over people and the bar to kiss the chef? Ill find out next time! The portions and prices are sent from above. I would like to offer the Academy Awards Leonardo never got (until recently) to whoever owns this joint! read more

As other reviewers have stated--this place is truly a diner in every sense of the word. Greasy, loud, not especially clean--but darned good! I had the homemade hash--and I've never tried hash--but I have (good) dreams about the experience I had at Lou Roc's. The rest of the fam liked their meals, but everyone was jealous of the plate I had. I'll be back! 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

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

Lou Roc's is my favorite breakfast place in the Worcester area, hands down. They serve good quality diner food made with QUALITY ingredients. This is huge in my book. I also really like the fact that the menu is rather large and they have more than just the usual eggs, pancakes etc. There's a large selection of omlettes and different preparations of pancakes and french toast. Plus there's always a full page of specials. My boyfriend LOVES the homemade hash. I love the homefries covered with cheddar and broccoli. I like to try to get a little veggies with my breakfast and this is simply delicious! I also love the raisin toast. The slices are thick and with lots of swirls of cinnamon. It's definitely not the kind of cinnamon toast you buy at a grocery store. In my opinion, there are only two downsides to the place and they have nothing to do with the food. One is the line can get really long. The other is they've covered up the old, classic train car exterior and replaced it with brick. The inside still has a classic feel, with stools and a counter as a seating option; however, they recently added some seating off the front and that area lacks any character. Never-the-less, despite the lines and the fact that you sometimes have to eat on "the porch" this place is still #1 in my book. Also, I've never found a hair in my food and I've eaten there at least 10 times. read more

You won't go wrong at Lou Roc's! They really are the "Best of Worchester" just like their four consecutive year awards proclaim. Plus the basic diner area is historically wonderful. This place is simply awesome! 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

It's ok! Nothing better than any other breakfast restaurant considering the classic eggs bacon and homefries.

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 diners go anyway.....i think this place is great, it doesn't look like a diner from the street as they put a new facade on the front a few years back, but inside, still a diner.....pleasant waitresses, excellent food and plenty of it......we brought home a doggy (me) bag last time and how often do you do that at a diner....highly recommend the steak and cheese and their own hash.. read more

Good food, decent prices and you get plenty on your plate also. Big menu and lots to choose from and friendly wait staff

Such a cute place! If you're hungry and looking for a cheap place to eat, definitely come here. The food size is enough to fill you up early in the morning. Our server was so friendly and the food was delicious! Overall I really liked how they decorated the place, everything felt so comforting. read more

Lunches better than breakfasts. I wish they hadn't hidden the diner away behind a brick shell.

Best diner in Worcester. The portions are great and the food is always prepared well. My go to is the homemade corned beef hash with home fries and toast. Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait on weekends, but it is well worth it! It's helpful to go in smaller groups (3-4 max) to sit down sooner. read more

Great food and huge portions! Service was friendly too. Husband got meat lovers omelet with home fries and I got sunny side up eggs with home fries and side of French toast. Very good. We had to ask for a box to take half home. Bacon was on point as well. Didn't leave hungry! Home fries were cooked to perfection. Food came out fast read more

While in the area on business I decided to try someplace other than the 5 and Diner and went here based on yelp reviews. Odd set-up. It looks like a typical diner set-up with and addition built on the front. I sat at the counter that has unattached stools so you are not right on top of each other. Definitely a lot of regulars but I did not feel like I was an intruder. I had 3 scrambled eggs, toast, homefries and coffee. The coffee was decent. I'm not sure if the cook could not count or they use huge eggs as my scrambled eggs covered half the oval platter type plate. The home fries filled the rest. I do not like a lot of onions in my home fries and, at first glance, it looked like they were full of onions. On second inspection there were pices of thin, well done potatoes mixed in with the other potatoes. Onions were minimal. The home fries were not the best I have ever had but were very good. Service was ok and tended to cater towards the regulars as I would have liked more attention paid to my coffee. Prices were decent. I will be back. read more

Simple menu. Food done very well. And cheap. I ordered french toast and they gave me enough for three days worth of breakfast. The line is usually long so try to get there early read more

Finally made plans to try Lou Rocs- here's the deal...the food was fantastic - with lots of it! Here's the problem- the process for managing the wait /seating with no real staff point person keeping track as they're busy multi tasking - which left the "order or who was next" a bit sketchy between people waiting in entry, outside and around counter. After 45 minutes.and no rhyme or reason we asked about "out turn"one staff telling us to take the next table and then another customer sits there- it got very uncomfortable .. the three of us just sat at the counter to avoid a melee with other people waiting longer, shorter, who knows... followed by staff maybe throwing shade (or just really busy) and a preference to seat those known. Never had trouble ordering at a counter until Lou Rocs, it was like being invisible. Eventually we were attended to and received service, the food, hows everything and the bill... paying was another issue- again who would take the cash only payment. If the food was unique to what one could get else where, I would try it again but it's not. read more

Put on your fat pants and ignore all diet common sense: This place is IT for breakfast! The portion are GINORMOUS. The pancakes are the size of the plate and are fluffy and delicious, the cranberry walnut are a personal fav. Home fries or Hashbrowns? Both are piled high and can be served with extra bacon and cheese melted on top - DO IT! No matter what you order it will be HUGE and HOT and Diner-riffic. This is a true New England hidden gem worth the drive kind of place. CASH ONLY, get there early or stand in line. read more

Best breakfast for the money around. The portions are huge and it's all good. The homemade corn beef hash is amazing!

Great atmosphere and friendly service. The meatloaf special was a definitely worth 5 stars.

We were a party of 5. We were seated within 5 minutes. The food was great! The service was excellent. We had plenty of leftovers.

Favorite place to get breakfast. The waitresses are super friendly and quick. One of them is always making the coffee rounds every 5 minutes or so. The food speaks for itself. I've always left there happy and ready to take on the day! read more

Awesome food and portions. You won't go hungry!

Lou Roc's "ROCKS!" Just had homemade corned beef hash w 2 dropped and home fries! Can't remember having a breakfast that good. Great hash!! Great home fries!! Huge portions!! But would have been just as pleased with the meal if it was half the amount. As long as the food is done right and taste great portion size is not important to me. Definitely try this place you will not regret it! read more

This place is clean, good service and the breakfast portions are very generous. Highly recommended, the food is very good and you won't go home hungry! read more

BEST BREAKFAST AROUND! As a breakfast lover I make an effort to try as many different breakfast spots as I can. This is one of the best! The food is amazing, the portions are huge, and the prices are great. The service is wonderful - the staff is kind and attentive. Will definitely be back! read more
