But don't be fooled, the food is great and as homey as you can get. Great value as my steak lunch was only 18 dollars with all the sides. Highly recommend coming and supporting this local establishment.

This place has been an institution for the longest time.

There are the nicest people in the world, they all remember her. They hug her. They tell her they love her. They are just the sweetest people and I've seen other reviews talk about how sometimes the service is slow and to be honest it's not slow. They have usually 4 to 6 waitresses on at once they have a manager they have two bartenders. They have a full dining room room and they have a bar section where they see people so it's a pretty big place and they also give you a lot of food so they're constantly running salads back-and-forth and breads and drinks and entrées and desserts and when you go for the early bird special or the dinner special or the lunch special, you can have a super salad and entrée aside and coffee or tea and either putting or ice cream all in your meal, so imagine how busy they are and it just bothered me that people were putting these reviews saying that they were great because they are, they really are Last night we went service was great. Katie was helping us as she does a lot of times very sweet. Very nice woman goes above and beyond to make sure that you feel attended to and also make sure that she gets everything right you know if my mom wants extra olives she gets extra olives and they don't charge for it. If she needs extra lemons, they don't charge for it. There's a little things to make people feel wonderful and comfortable and just a great place. It really is and I've heard people talk about the ambience and say well. Some of the stuff is old and yeah, some of the stuff is old, but that's part of the charm of the place. It's a place it's been around forever and you feel like you're at home and if you're new to the area and you start going there, you will feel like you're at home too, and I would recommend it to anyone in. The food is always great in the portions are big and it's really really cheap.

We tried the Garden, Egg & Cheese sandwich on a croissant with avocado, tomato, spinach, egg, and cheese, along with the Seasoned Tofu & Rice Bowl, the Paradise smoothie, and a latte. The croissant sandwich was so soggy that it just wasn't enjoyable. The tofu and rice bowl was another disappointment. The brown rice was way too dry, and the sauce was so sour that the whole dish tasted awful. The Paradise smoothie was also extremely sour and lacked any good flavor. Even the latte was a letdown because the coffee wasn't strong enough and didn't taste good. The one positive thing I can say is that the staff was nice and the ambiance was lovely. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the food, especially when every single thing we tried fell short of expectations. Overall, I really wanted to like this place, but the food was a huge disappointment from start to finish. I wouldn't rush back.

Wilson's Diner offers plenty of very tasty breakfast and lunch options in a very casual ambiance…read more However, the real reason to check it out is the opportunity to eat a meal in a historic railcar diner that's been around since 1946. The perfectly preserved railcar diner (even down to the original refrigerator and clock on the wall) is only one of a few dozen still operating as a diner out of the hundreds that built by the Worcester Lunch Car Co. in the 1940s and 1950s. Maria Kitidis Mackay and her father George bought the diner in January 2020 and one or both of them are usually working the griddle daily.. as they were when I recently visited. I recently stopped in for breakfast two days in a row while visiting friends in Concord and the food was excellent both times. On my first visit, I had the two-egg platter ($8) with a unique Greek loukaniko sausage (+$7). The next day, I had the same platter with traditional pork sausage links (+$3). Both platters came with home fries and toast, and everything was incredibly fresh, hot, and really tasty. My dining companion also thoroughly enjoyed her meals and the classic diner ambiance. She tried the Florentine benedict ($14), which came topped with perfectly sautéed spinach and tomato, and on the next visit went with the spinach and feta omelet ($13). Our servers stopped by a few times to ensure everything was good. The only minor disappointment we experienced was that our servers didn't offer to refill our coffee, but otherwise, it was a fantastic visit. Maybe I should have asked? It is a terrific experience all around. Highly recommend checking this place out if you want great food, unique history, and a classic diner atmosphere! Even taking away a 1/2 star for our coffee snafu, it's still a solid 4.5 stars for the overall experience -- rounded up to 5 stars. PRO TIP: Bring cash. Wilson's does not accept credit cards.
