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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Miss Worcester Diner - Banana bread French toast (half order) - Diners Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cool place. Reminded me of the old NYC rail car diners. Stickers all over. Gritty. Both of the women behind the counter were friendly, but they both smelled like stale old cigarettes. Not great. They enthusiastically suggested the special, which was chili. It was served cold. And it had no real taste, other than spicy. I asked for some hot chili, and I watched the guy throw it into the microwave for 2 minutes and throw it back in front of me. Not going back, even though it's conveniently located for my travels. read more

Miss Worcester Diner is most definitely a favorite with the locals. When we arrived there was one dirty booth available and we grabbed it! Unfortunately, we did not alert the staff that we were 'new customers' and they were waiting for us to leave so they could clean off the table! Oops. Be sure to let staff know you are looking to be seated! Once we got that sorted out, our drink order was taken and quickly brought. Seriously this tiny diner was absolutely mobbed the entire time we were there on a Saturday late morning. No one was 'stressed'. Staff and customers are laid back and rolling with the flow but the staff never stop moving. It did take a while for the waiter to come take our order, but that was fine because the menu is extensive for such a small establishment. They have an entire stuffed French Toast menu all to itself! There are lots of flavors you can add to your coffee, a huge selection of omelets, kids menus, house made hash, breakfast specials and a lunch menu of sandwiches and burgers. Booths seat four adults. There are counter seats that run the length of the diner. If you leave a space between you and your neighbor at the counter staff will ask you to move over. They need every seat. As it was very busy our meal did take some time to arrive. While we waited, we looked around the diner. It seems guests leave stickers behind. All over everything. Ceiling, wall, window. Reading and looking at them all kept us entertained and made for lively discussion. That and playing peek-a-boo with the toddler at the next table. Food quality is good and the items well prepared. It's your standard breakfast fare: eggs, breakfast potatoes, toast. They do it well. Our limited interaction with staff showed them to all be very nice and friendly. If you need the rest room, ask for the key. It's outside, around the back. A small, clean, well stocked, 'one for all' restroom. Although the parking lot is small (we luckily got the one spot left) it seems enough to keep the diner full! Park so as to make room for as many cars possible. No on-street parking and I didn't see any public parking lot nearby. BTW, there is a bus stop right by the entrance to the diner, which is off the parking lot. We thought it was a line to get in, but it's just folks waiting for public transport. read more

We had a work free Monday and decided to go out for breakfast. I suggested we try the Miss Worcester diner because I've heard a lot of positive things about it and I've gone past it alllll my life and had never been here!!! We arrived about 9:30 am and there was plenty of counter seats available and only one booth. We grabbed the booth and were quickly greeted and our server took our orders. Miss Worcester diner is exactly how you picture a diner should be... Our breakfasts came and they looked alright, but I have to say they were about the best breakfasts we ever had!!! The potatoes and corn beef hash were perfection, they weren't all dried up like most places we've been. The eggs...perfect and even the toast was delicious! My husband ordered the kielbasa with his and said it was delicious too. I can't believe I went by here for decades and never stopped in!! read more

I cannot believe it was our first time here! We have been missing out. We had the banana bread French toast, kielbasa and a chocolate chip mickey mouse pancake. Everything was very good and the portions were huge. That banana bread French toast is dream worthy and the kielbasa was also very good. The prices are good and the service was great and fast. The parking lot is tiny and I think there were only 5 or 6 booths and then some counter seating - not the place to go with a group bigger than 4. read more

Food was amazing and the overall dining experience matched it. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made everything feel comfortable from start to finish. The French toast was easily some of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Everything came out fresh and well-prepared. Definitely a spot I'd come back to without hesitation. read more

Everything we had (family of 4 with 2 kids) was perfectly done and delicious. I had the Big Daddy with scrambled eggs, hash browns, raisin toast, and got the crunchy French toast. Way too much food so took some home and looking forward to having it later. Only "issue" was the wait time but that's to be expected for a small 50's size diner. This will be one of our new favorite spots!! read more

The corn beef hash was so flavorful and well seasoned. The baked beans were out of this world.

My mother in law got the steak and eggs and my god was the steak was so juicy and full of flavor! read more

Do not miss this Awesome Diner! Dropped in before Christmas on a weekday morning and it was packed! Considered myself lucky to get a seat at the counter. The menu is extensive but the chef and staff execute like a well oiled machine - smooth and fast. I had the pastrami omelette and a cranberry walnut pancake- sooo good! Crew made sure I had coffee to go as I headed out on my errands. Wish I'd been with a larger group to taste more. read more

Tried the place based on a recommendation. Food wasn't great. Sat at counter (maybe I saw too much) Sprayed the grill with Pam. Lots of margarine on the toast.

Miss Worcester Diner is a traditional, old-school diner with a menu to match. The food isn't fancy, but we've been a couple of times now and on each visit we found the food we ordered was cooked exactly right - everything we tried was delicious! Tip: If all you've got with you is credit cards, then you'll need to come here another time, as all payment is strictly cash-only The interior is a bit cramped, and there's not a lot of parking available, but if you can look past these minor drawbacks I'm confident you'll have a great dining experience here! read more

If 10/10 was a diner, this could be it. The diner is located a short distance from a historic train track. From the outside, it looks like a simple food truck but wait till you walk in! It's a quaint little space with counter seating on the left and booths on the right. A constellation of stickers wrap around the whole interior and the warm welcome of the servers makes it even more exciting. I ordered the Banana Bread French toast which was OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious! This was the best French toast I've ever tasted. I had the protein on the side and didn't expect 4 whole sausages! They also cook pancakes and toast at the counter so you get to inhale and see all that goodness as you wait! I can't wait to go back for many more solo brunch dates! read more
