    Something about the road trip diners really hits you in the feels. Glad to have experienced this bit of important Americana. Kim is the owner AND the cook? Simply amazing. She was working like a well-oiled machine. I couldn't even keep track of my own order, I dunno how she handled five at a time! I asked the nice lady which sandwich she liked and could recommend, and she suggested the turkey with bacon and swiss melt, so I went with it. It didn't disappoint. Quintessential diner fare, done right. I have to admit though, looking around at other plates. Why the heck didn't I get breakfast? Wakey wakey, I love eggs and bacey. I think you will certainly not regret taking advantage of the all-day breakfast. You may not think it, but there *is* an artform to executing diner brekkie right, and it would appear that Kim delivers. I overheard her talking about the development plans just behind the diner. You guessed it. Ugly cardboard condos! I think the diner will survive the onslaught of development and gentrification, but just in case... you better visit soon, because you don't know what you got 'til it's gone.

    First time at Miss Worcester Diner, and now I get the hype. We slid into the last two seats at the counter (fate, clearly) but upgraded to a booth the second one opened--because these plates need their own zip code. The place was packed, the staff was friendly, and the walls were a nostalgic sticker bomb, giving the whole diner a time-capsule kind of charm. I had the strawberry-banana ricotta stuffed French toast--sweet, creamy, and dangerous. My partner went savory with a Philly steak & cheese omelette plus homemade corned beef hash that honestly deserves its own Yelp page. My only gripe? I like my hot chocolate super chocolatey, and this one leaned more on the watery side for my taste. Come hungry, leave in a food coma. I'll be back.

    They aren't huge but have a full counter & 5 booths. The place is absolutely covered in stickers. Some are really funny. Everyone is down to earth and the food is cooked right in front of you. The menu is chocked full of delicious breakfast items and the prices are very reasonable. They don't use soy oil on the grill and that makes me very happy. I'm allergic to soy. Do not go here if you're in a hurry. There is one man doing all the cooking. He's doing an amazing job!

    This place is a classic historic Worcester landmark! The service is prompt! The food is freshly made so you can watch them making it. The old school diner decor is great. The breakfast food quality is great...

    Banana bread French toast (half order)

    This place rocks. It's a total dive of a diner that feels a little rough around the edges at first. But once you sit down you just feel at home. The service is friendly and there is a boss-ass-bitch on the grill doing all the cooking and making some insane food. Kudos to her. She's just hustlin' and pumping out food. They have french toast for days and I can't wait to try more of it. Had the banana bread french toast which was insane. Obviously sweet but not over the top. It was perfect. Definitely will be back.

    A must visit for fans of diners. This old school diner is small and there is usually a wait. Little Miss Worcester diner serves breakfast all day and has a huge lunch menu. They are known for milkshakes and fancy fried french toast. The servers were friendly and explained the menu like the pros they are. This diner prefers cash payment but does take credit and debit. Ecpect huge portions and about $20 per person after tip.

    Friendly regulars greeted us at the door as we grabbed the first booth and sat. The coffee was served immediately, and our orders were taken right away! The interior was dive bar/punk/biker with nearly every inch covered in stickers and art. Our omelettes were PERFECT and super cheesy, the rye toast was so fluffy and crunchy and buttery, the bacon was crisped to perfection. I will absolutely be back to try the famous French toast, because They have an entire menu dedicated to it, which tells me it's to die for. Thank you for a great first visit!

    ORIGIN: In 2006 Kim Kniskern purchased and reopened the long-vacant diner as Miss Worcester Diner. Kim had previously worked for years at restaurants, and can be found cooking meals for customers. A resident of Worcester since the age of 16, it can be assumed the diner, affectionately referred as "Miss Woo", is named after the owner who devotes much of her time to its success. LOCATION: Worcester was once a national center for dining car manufacturing. The diner is located in an industrial area across the street from the building in which it had been manufactured, the former Worcester Lunch Car Company. There is a small parking lot next to the diner. CONCEPT: The diner maintains its historic American diner roots, including the owner preparing dishes for customers. ATMOSPHERE: The diner, manufactured in 1948, is recognized in the National Register of Historic Places as being one of the few remaining dining cars that had been manufactured in the once thriving city dining car industry. FOOD: I tried the two popular breakfast dishes that were recommended as a must try by the server: crunchy French toast and Irish Eggs Benedict. The hype is warranted! The crunchy French Toast is a homage to childhood favorite cereal. Slices of bread are dipped in crushed Honey Comb cereal and subsequently fried, adding a welcomed flavor and texture dimension to the classic dish. Many other uncommon dishes on the menu, including a wide variety of stuffed French toast concoctions and milk shakes. Miss Worcester aims to please snd surprise! SERVICE: Service is attentive and personal, allowing a true dining car diner experience. TIPS: Only cash and Venmo are accepted for payment. The diner closes each day at 2 PM. There may be a wait to be seated.

    The food is so good! The main concern is how loud the staff is! Throwing dishes and making this place loud is the reason I lowered the score! They didn't care that it was loud! The food is 10/10

    Bathroom was missing its faucet handle
    Ryan M.

    We were seated relatively quickly, but then had an oddly long wait. Took a while for the waitress to notice us, then took an absurdly long time to order and bring drinks. Was an additional 30+ minutes (so long I actually started noticing the time) between ordering our food and receiving it. The food was great, and cheap, but I have no idea how they're maintaining their prices with such a small space and low turnover like that. Also, bathroom was missing its faucet handle (violation of 521 CMR 30.9.6), which raises all sorts of concerns about employee hygiene.

    If you're in the mood for a classic diner look no further than Miss Worcester Diner. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here. It's an extensive menu. None of us tried the French toast, but it's worth nothing it had its own dedicated menu and looked outstanding. The Spanish Omelette with hashbrown patties and rye was a great value and was prepared well. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely be a regular here. One tip - if you forget cash they have a Venmo QR code posted.

    Nice little diner. Good service. Busy restaurant with a lot of buzz. We went in for breakfast and had a huge meal with sausage eggs and bacon with pancakes my wife had cranberry walnut my son had Reese's and I had banana bread French toast. It was all very nice.

    Irish Benedict w/ homefries
    Hali W.

    Pretty popular spot as there was a line to wait outside for this place, but we eventually got inside at the counter. Food - my boyfriend got "The Regular" which was bacon, homefries, 2 eggs, and toast (not pictured) and I got the Irish Benedict with homefries and homemade hash. Overall the breakfast was good, my only gripe is that I paid extra for homemade hash vs getting canned hash. I did enjoy their homemade hash but I think there is better out there. My bf said his breakfast was decent but not a huge fan as it was just a traditional breakfast platter and no real flare to the food. Also, we were pretty sad they didn't serve sourdough bread as a choice; we usually order this since it's IBS friendly! We did see they make huge pancakes, but we didn't end up ordering one since we knew in advance the portions are huge. Ambiance - packed, had to wait in line for about 15-20 mins for a seat. The sticker-bombed atmosphere was really unique about this place. Service - it was average service, served and was good at refilling my bottomless coffee. Overall, food was a 3.75/5 for us, I think we would go back for the atmosphere and to try something else. I highly recommend this place to add sourdough bread to their selection if they can :) Also FYI this place uses VENMO which is convenient to pay your bill quickly.

    Small place, doesn't look like a diner from the outside, but once inside the back room, you can see…read morethe tell-tale diner shape. Interesting hot rod decor to distinguish it from the rest. Busy joint, tight seating, and energetic servers who keep attentive. -- Patty Melt: So much to like about this, from the marble rye (though I think pumpernickel) to the full size patty (better than the double smashed you get elsewhere) to the onions to the gooey melted cheese to the extreme juiciness and pleasing flavor. I didn't detect any Russian dressing, but this sandwich wasn't lacking for moistness or flavor oomph. A near-elite rendition and one of the best I've had in a while. Excellent. -- Fries: Included with the patty melt and a plentiful supply. The bad news: they're the dreaded industrial "coated" kind. The good news: they were piping hot and cooked perfectly, crisp outside, fluffy inside. The great news: you can substitute home fries. My server offered a sample of the home fries. -- Home Fries: I found them to be right in my wheelhouse for doneness, crispness, seasoning, onions, and overall texture and flavor. Superb. Between the good looking plates that passed by and my enjoyment of my own food on my first visit, there's sure to be a second. Looking forward to returning with my wife for breakfast and more of those home fries.

Definitely returning for our next breakfast meal!

She was very helpful with making decisions on what to have with what. I had the Reuben. A long-time favorite of mine. They make their own rye bread, and it shows.

Lots of counter stools and booths in 1950s pastel yellows and greens. My visit was a patty melt quest. They happily served it during the morning hours. The good: - Proper use of rye bread and onions - Proper buttering and griddling of the bread - Beef pink and juicy - Can substitute tots or hash browns for fries - Good flavors and mostly good textures The not-so-good: - Cheap beef with a clenched feel; a bit rubbery The cooking and overall presentation overcame the weakness of the beef ingredient to yield a tasty and pleasurable finished product. But the beef is noticeable as the weak link. Spicy hash browns were very good. Soft texture with some crispness too, and very enjoyable spiciness that didn't overpower. Decent coffee. Friendly service.

    Went for a Valentine's Day brunch with friends!…read more Food - incredibly good, I highly recommend the breakfast poutine. Lots of flavor and the kielbasa was amazing! My bf got the corned beef hash, he mentioned it was good but very dry. He was rather eating my plate more than his own. I would say the corned beef hash is interesting as it has homefries mixed in, which was a bit much for us. Service - quick, got us in and got all of our orders correct even with a full house. We waited approx. 40 mins for a table though for 6 people even though we were quoted 20 mins. Ambiance - the ambiance was good, it's a nice little restaurant and has nice waitresses/waiters.

We'll absolutely be stopping back!
