Every couple months I end up there again and tell myself, hey could it happen again?, and it does. THEY WILL MESS YOUR ORDER UP EVERY TIME!!! and whats WORSE, they don't EVEN APOLOGIZE WHEN YOU DRIVE ALL THE WAY BACK. I understand everyone is humans and people make mistakes but this has happened to me over 10 times and not once have they apologized. Not to mention the service sucks from the beginning and all the old ladies talk down to you. The gentlemen behind the counter is the best of the bunch but he's never said sorry to me either after I drive all the way back. What sucks Is i love mom and pops places like this, but clearly it makes sense why corporate America is taking over with pretentious people like them. read more

Update: I noticed another reviewer saw the whole thing. I usually order their Regatta club and get them and go and have no problem. This time I ordered a cutlet deluxe. They take my order and I wait about fifteen minutes while other people get their orders. People that were there after me get served, but I figured mine is a hot sandwich so it takes longer. Finally some guys that came in five minutes after me get served their cutlets. So, I go up and complain at which point the older woman yells at me to, "just hold on they're real busy back there!" in a real crappy tone. She goes in the back without trying to resolve anything at which point the more reasonable guy actually finds out what my order was and sends it back. I wait another five to ten at which point the older woman comes out with the sandwich and says, "I'm sorry sir" at which point, because I'm pissed and hungry and got yelled at for nothing I interject, "well, you should be!" At that point the older woman's daughter interjects and starts continually screaming at me not to yell at her mother creating a lovely scene. I grab my sandwiches and tell them to learn how to do their jobs as I walk out. The cutlet sub was garbage to boot. They have a bunch of signs up in there proclaiming that family is most important so if you go there expect them to make excuses for their family's lousy service rather than actually making the customer happy. read more

Once again, I found myself drugged and left for dead in a strange and unfamiliar town. This time it was Worcester. After I dusted myself off, i whipped out my phone to see what Yelp had to say about the local lunch scene. I chose the Regatta Deli and I was glad I did. Yelp, once again, did not disappoint. I got the antipasto, a veal parm sandwich and some homemade desserts. Seriously folks, this was enough food for 2 days. The portions are huge. The antipasto was a simple iceburg with shredded carrots, calamata olives, slices of ham, salami and provolone in a delicious homemade dressing of red wine vinegar, oil and spices. Simple, inexpensive, and delicious. The veal parm weighed about 2 pounds. If you like fresh Italian bread, you're gonna love the sandwiches here. I thought the bread/substance ratio was a little off, and it could have used a bit more sauce, but it was huge sandwich with plenty of veal... and I enjoyed it. I think I'll try the Regatta sandwich next time. They had a huge bin full of pre-made Regatta's in anticipation of the friday lunch rush. The desserts were fantastic. I had the homemade bread pudding and my wife had the peanut butter and chocolate cake. Can't wait to come back. read more

Sandwiches are pretty good. Service is like going to the Soup Nazi. They will make you anything you want. Recommended yes. read more

Most of my newer reviews are from places that I loved growing up and am trying again after living away for a number of years. The Regatta Club has not changed. I get mine on syrian as the italian bread is too much. Lettuce Tomato, Onion, Cheese, Cold Meat and a sprinkling of Italian Seasonings. Steak and cheese is incredible. There are numerous other menu items, Hot and Cold Sandwiches, Stuffed Peppers, Middle Eastern treats, chips, drinks, etc. For $5, you can't ask for anything more! read more

Great service, great place for sandwiches. I've ordered everything from their infamous reggata sandwich to their stuffed red peppers. read more

Regatta Deli - Chicken wrap with Tabouli - Delis Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

This was my favorite deli for years... but read on for what happened. First, we ordered several sandwiches. Unfortunately, the one sandwich two of us split landed us with FOOD POISONING. To have your innards cleaned out... not pleasant. Second, another sandwich was their prosciutto with mozzarella, etc. The prosciutto was cut too thick and was definitely not "di parma" brand. The bread was not their Italian loaf... not sure why not, but instead it was this burnt white bread. The sandwich had no taste. Like I said before this was a favorite, but I hope the owners and those patrons think again. I take food poisoning very seriously and noone should be as ill as we were after eating from any food establishment. read more

Awesome italian grinders. I get it with no onion, plus pickle. Very good broccoli and cheese soup too. Reasonable prices..

Needless to say I should of stuck to their classic regatta sub! Well today I ordered a chicken cutlet and it was disgusting. I told the girl who took my order a chicken cutlet with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions .. Oh and a LITTLE hots! The sandwich I got was soggy chicken cutlet and a whole lot of hots. The old Lady who rung me up was really rude! I'll stick to pickle haus.. read more

Being from Boston I love a good Italian sub, I heard good things about the regatta so I stopped in one afternoon and thought "wow, a line, must be good!" Well I've come to the conclusion you people standing in that line (and giving these great reviews) have no clue what a good Italian sub consists of. First of all it doesn't come out of a cooler pre Fn made! Nuff said! There is a much better place up the street, I won't mention the name coz I'm not a d bag like that but seriously thumbs down for the wanna bees running this show. read more

This place was legendary growing up. It is as if they take an entire loaf of italian bread (the really wide kind), cut it in half and load it up with shredded letuce, cheese, tons of italian meats and then this italian style dressing- this is called the regatta club. My family goes crazy for them!!! 4.50 per sandwich and if you arrive between 11 and 3 be prepared to watch a steady flow of business as the experienced staff behind the counter hand out several of the pre-made (but fresh) and pre-packaged sandwiches to each of the many customer s who are willing to wait in line for them. They also offer some veggie options- hummus, tabouli, eggplant and grilled veggie to name a few. I wasnt super impressed with the egplant. They are mostly known for the regatta clubs. read more

Great spot for a sandwich. I had the eggplant parm, and it was big, with loads of eggplant. As Scotty says, parking can be tough. Also door opens up right to register, so things get a little cramped in front of stoor by the door. Must be a better way to improve traffic flow during the rush. Great food, and prices reasonable....... read more

Have heard a lot about this place so we were excited to try it. We both ordered a steak and cheese which ended up being a giant roll with a tiny bit of meat. So we cut it in half and took the meat from one side and put it on one the other to make an average sized sandwich. It reminded me of that old Wendy's commercial - "Where's the beef?" It was very salty and had an odd taste of either teriyaki or soy sauce. I think they cooked something on the grill and didn't clean it before making our sandwiches. Very disappointed after all the great reviews. Why people think they are getting such a great deal baffles me. I'd rather pay more for a whole sandwich or have a smaller sandwich that is full rather than try to pretend a mostly bread sandwich is a great deal. Its too bad, the steak was good quality and had enough cheese. They ruin it themselves by not cleaning the grill and using less bread. read more

Sorry, but not impressed anymore... veggies were old and gross... ruined the meal We won't be back... ever.

Huge sandwiches great prices can't beat it you'll never go to subways again. They have almost all the flavors for Cape cod chips and they make your sandwiches fast read more

This is almost right next door to my apartment so it's convenient. Only really came here once and only got a veal parm but it was a good veal parm so I should come back again and get more stuff. read more

Best deli around. They are always fast and reasonably priced. Sandwiches are always great and they are always good at accommodating any ingredient specifications. read more

Is it possible to eat a better Italian club? No. Absolutely not. The regatta is hard to beat. The quality and the price make grabbing one a no brainer. Personally, I like mine with pickles and hits added. My husband enjoys the chicken parm and meatball sandwiches as well, but I stick to the good old original. read more

Our office orders from here sometimes. We always have great food. Today I ordered the hummus/tabouli pocket. Absolutely divine. So healthy and fresh. Get the feta.... read more

Maybe it's the Covid related stresses, but the service was rude, my order was incomplete, and the sandwiches I did get were incorrect. Used to love this place but I can be treated shabbily for free. read more

Regatta Deli is the place to go for sandwiches. You get a soup Nazi feel when you first enter, but the system works very quickly. They have fresh "Regatta" sandwiches already made if that is what you want, or you can order a custom sandwich. Growing up and still today if I am taking a day or weekend trip somewhere I always make a stop at Regatta and fill up a cooler full of sandwiches first. They are absolutely huge and delicious. The lettuce and onions make the sandwich. I don't know what it is about their lettuce, but it is sliced perfectly and so fresh to put the sandwich past other sandwich shops. read more

The regatta club is, as everyone else says, really yummy and really big. Mine easily lasted two meals (at least it did for a little girl like myself). It's perfect for a broke student who's tired of cooking and cafeteria food. Best of all, even during a crazy busy lunch hour, the service is pretty good! Friendly, fast, although a little chaotic (which I didn't mind and thought was pretty endearing). I'll be back to try all the other sandwiches. read more

Purchased food with mold on it from the cases. No sell to made by dates on prepared foods. Beware!

Woman working the counter was so rude she should definitely not be dealing with customers. Overcharged me for my order than became beligerant when I questioned her on it. She had such an attitude another customer had to apologize on her behalf. read more

Will not return!! Tall thin woman with dark hair working the counter was so extremely rude. Practically yelling at me because I simply asked when my order will be ready after waiting for over 25 mins for one sandwich. She should not be working with customers, she clearly dislikes her job. My family and I have been coming to the Regatta since the 80's, they lost a loyal customer. read more

The people I used to work with raved about this deli, so I finally stopped by on a whim after the gym. Super busy, as I assumed it would be with the hype they gave it and it being a Saturday afternoon. CC machine was down (I usually have cash so no biggie), so they were a bit backed up and flustered. Unfortunately this translated to my order; turkey, ham and Swiss w/ olives, onion, toms, lettuce, mustard, mayo. Nothing fancy. No special requests. They forgot the mayo, and slapped on tons of mustard and was all I could taste. Forgot the onions as well and gave me maybe a sprinkle of lettuce with a small handful of olives and two thick ass tomato slices that kept sliding out lol I'm really hoping this was just a fluke because of the busy day?!! They had a huge order going out while I was there on top of it all. However, the family and workers were super patient and very nice! They got everyone out as fast as they could. The meats and cheese were great, the individual quality of everything was good, just awful execution. I'm a huge deli person so I was pretty disappointed, but the demeanor and overall quality is enough for a second chance! Hoping to go back at a better time perhaps??? Def give them a try! Their menu is huge and everything else looked great, too! read more

There are lots of places around the city you can get an Italian grinder. There are more than a few that have them premade, ready to go when you walk in. But there is only one Regatta. I don't know if they make other sandwiches well. I've been told by other people I know that they do. Someday, I may find out for myself. Maybe. Because when the line's out the door, and you can walk up with $6, and have the guy hand you the best Italian sandwich in Worcester without having to wait, you kind of feel like royalty. "Wait on, plebians, whilst I dine on this king of sandwiches." read more

Best grinders EVER!!! Every time I visit back home, it's a must that I stop in!!! Super fast and quick, stop in and out with your delicious grinders! I meant huge grinders!!! Love them read more

It was awful!!! The phone line wasn't working so I drove to Regatta to place my order. They had me waiting in line and then lady that was letting people in asked me if I called in my order. I told her no because the lines weren't working and she said okay give me a minute. After waiting a long time I tell her again I need to place my order. She said I should've called it in and I cannot place it while I was there! She was very rude about it. Said "I have three lines right now the phones work" I even tried to call again and it wasn't working. It was a very unfriendly environment and it was my first experience with this Deli. I will not be going back again. read more

The food is decent when they actually give you what you order. The service leaves a lot to be desired. My husband called in our sandwich order, which included my BLT with no mayo. Seems simple enough, but when we got the food home, of course it was covered in mayo. My husband called to see if they could remake it - I'm 8 months pregnant and was still very much craving that BLT - and promptly got hung up on. He called back again and they didn't answer. He called a third time from my phone and they picked up right away and admitted they hung up on him because they were out of bread. Classy. Guess we'll be going to Subway from now on. read more

I've tried the regatta Club. It reminds me of a really good Subway's sandwich. It's huge and you can easily split it with someone else. I ordered the steak and cheese but forgot to request it with mushrooms, peppers, and onions. But the sandwich was still tasty. The meat reminds me of bulgogi because it's thinly shaved steak meat. Lots of flavor and very greasy. A fellow yelper raved about the macaroni salad, but it seemed very plain and taseteless to me. It needed more herbs, seasonings, vegetables, or something to jazz it up. Their baklava is average. Will come back again, especially since this is the only decent place to grab lunch around UMass. read more

The regatta is famous for a reason. $5 for a bulky Italian sandwich. The best around. I've also tried the steak & cheese and the chicken Caesar wrap...both were delicious. Great place to grab a quick lunch on the go. read more

Regatta Deli - The famous regatta. - Delis Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

I could have a choice of a entire full course dinner and I'd turn it down any day of the week for my grinder from Regatta! So yup it's regatta time and once again not disappointed! Thanks for still being true to who you are and what you've always done and stood for read more

My boyfriend is crazy for regattas! But who can blame him? It's a super affordable and filling lunch!! It's bigger than my face I always find myself eating half then saving the other half for later and it's fills me each time. Not only is it inexpensive it's delicious! I just love it, and if you haven't gave this place a try I suggest you do, it's better than Maury's on Park Ave, by proportions and price!!! It definitely deserves more than a 3 1/2 stars. read more

This Deli is located at St. VIncent's Hospital - best deli ever. Sandwiches, subs, salads, desserts - all made fresh while you wait....

Italian sub was good but a little too much bread compared to fillings. Tuna melt was horrible. The cheese was not melted, one side of the bread was burnt and the other side was untoasted. read more

Thanks for locking the door 15min early as I was 2 steps from opening the door. Just lost my business

This place is starting to lose its touch. I have always been a huge fan, until my latest run in. The food is still pretty good most of the time, but the customer service is horrible all of the time. Not just with me either, you see them treating people like dirt and with attitude more often than you might think. I went in yesterday and they messed up my order, it wasn't even like it was because it was mobbed. I was given a lot of attitude and told that they gave me exactly what I ordered. After I guaranteed them that they were at fault they dug up the slip to show me that I was wrong and finally took the sandwich back. fixing it. I was in fact telling the truth but if you think that the attitude is horrible when they think that they are right, you should see it when it's their fault. Instead of remaking my order with no mushrooms like I had asked, they emptied my sandwich back out on the grill, picked most of the big mushrooms out, threw another piece of cheese on it, put it back in a piece of bread and give it back to me. I had to pick through the whole sandwich myself. I didn't get an apology, it never appeared that they screwed up, and the worst part was that the lady at the counter wouldn't even touch the sandwich. Someone else from the kitchen put it down right in front of her, she just motioned with her head and said "that's yours" and just stood there. It seemed like high school all over again, they got caught doing something wrong but they just pretended that it wasn't true. read more

This place is fantastic. Also always busy weekdays around lunch time. This is the kind of place locals know and recommend. The Italian bread is the best thing, and if you were considering giving up bread this one will make you reconsider. The meats and veggies are all fresh. Lastly, don't get the tiramisu if you ever want to give up cakes/sugar. It's homemade and unbelievably delicious. read more

I've never eaten here before until now and I'm glad I did! The sandwiches are huge and the paninis are delish! Amazing food and great staff! Will definitely be coming here again!!! read more
