“Real review of a real situation. But I’d like to mention one thing before getting into it: the half pound lobster roll was absolutely delicious. The bread, lobster quality and quantity, and flavor were all high marks. Probably the best lobster roll in the region. I’ve tried them all. Or at least most. This lobster roll is delicious. And it has a true half pound feel. That aside… I ordered takeout. Half the order was incorrect and a clam chowder was missing. It happens. This place is so fantastic, however, they wanted to go way above and beyond to rectify the situation. I’m so impressed with Sole. And very thankful we have a super solid (actually excellent) seafood place right here in the Wu tang.”
“The server we had last night was the biggest jerk and should be fired. We left after being clearly discriminated by your staff. We’ve been coming here for years but will never be back after yesterday’s experience. Ricardo was a complete jerk and should not be in the restaurant business.”
“Attended bridal shower and it was perfect from beginning to end. Everyone complemented the food, service was excellent and all flowed so smoothly. Will be back to try out the restaurant!”

“stopped by for takeout tonight and it was soooo good. will be going back to sit down!!”
“OMG! We just left a love fest of service and food! We loved the staff and chef, each so warm and accommodating! And it’s hard to know where to start with the food! The crème brûlée french toast was incredible, the bacon, smoky, and my chai was silky and had a perfect combo of spices. I had a spinach pie with a flaky pastry top, and others ordered a Brazilian couscous dish, a humongous omelete and a yummy veggie combo. Oh, and the smoothies? One Soursop and a mixed berry. On and on, but all to say we were very happy❣️”
“What a lovely experience. We showed up with a party of seven and despite it being crowded and busy, the very kind older woman was willing to scrap together some chairs and tables for us to sit as a family. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was awesome. Highly recommend dining here, but the place is small so I recommend calling ahead!”

“Sabrosa Venezuela catered a last minute event for us. They worked with me to provide a variety of foods for different allergies and restrictions. They offered wonderful advice and the food? Oh my god, everyone raved about how amazing the food was (and it was!). I cannot recommend this place enough, they are incredible.”
“Our family & Friends started a tradition this year by ending it and bringing in the new year with Thai food at the Thai Corner restaurant! I did RSVP a head of time, because we had 10-13 ppl joining us. This place was a comfortable atmosphere with delicious food! The staff were so friendly & pleasant with us through the whole experience. They made sure we had our drinks filled, and anything we needed at the table at all times. It’s refreshing to have a Very reliable staff. I like to try new food to taste Or just have my all time favorite Thai dish! What is great the location is close to WSC, and close enough to QCC if you’re craving some food. It’s a steady pace business with fresh food. There are plenty of tables to eat in or just order take out . The food came out hot and so fresh! Delicious!! This is definitely my new favorite place to eat or if I just want to order a ice tea! I do prefer the lavender milk tea myself ! All I have to say is try something new & different on the menu. You will not be disappointed! I highly recommend that you Check out this place yourself and tell me what dish you have tried with pics! It’s located on 120 June Street in Worcester, MA check out their social media for their business hours. Enjoy”
“Been going here since they opened in 2024. They alwyas have top notch sugar cane juices and Vietnamese iced coffee. My favorite thing about them as that they always release new drinks depending on the season which makes coming always refreshing. Go for the Eggspresso which is their take on the Vietnamese iced coffee with a custard egg yolk cream foam!”
“I found myself in Worcester yesterday and searched for vegan food online and found Belmont Vegetarian among others listed. After seeing several pictures of dishes I decided to go! And I’m glad I did! Belmont Vegetarian (where everything is vegan) was delicious and in heaping portions. There’s a smaller (but still big) container for only $17 and change and a giant container (which I obviously got) for $19 and change. I got BBQ, mac n cheese, rice , beans, and chickpeas, and some sweet n sour steak. They also make their own delicious juice with sea moss. I got watermelon. The place is set up for takeout mostly with only 2 dining tables.Definitely worth the drive from NH!”
“My friends and I had a great dinner last night and wanted to share that Angel provided exceptional service! Thank you!”
“Excellent dinner and drinks, and wonderful service! Can’t wait to come back. Lemongrass tofu was outstanding!”

“One Eleven is probably my favorite restaurant in Worcester; they provide an exceptional dining experience every time I go.
Food is always excellent, including steaks cooked perfectly...best filet I've ever had, and the creme brûlée is to die for. The staff is amazing as well; you typically have two servers working together, which makes for a smooth, personalized dining experience.”
“Went for a solo dinner while in town for work. Sat at the bar - bartenders were great. Had a delicious Boulevardier off the seasonal cocktails menu and the muhamarra sandwich. I have never heard of it but it was awesome! I will definitely be back to order more off the menu!”
“Incredibly fun, so many games, great drinks. It was a great choice for date night. Was really impressed with the game selection, a lot of throwbacks. Had so much fun with the pinball machines - you can play to have fun and not worry about having a pocket full of quarters!”
“What a great Italian experience! One of Worcesters finest restaurants it has to offer.
VIA's location can easily be seen by its big golden lit up sign that can be seen at the highway. It is also on a street that is commonly known for it's restaurants in Worcester. The parking is good as long as you ate going after work hours and even if so there is street parking.
VIA's atmosphere feels authentic and modern Italian as it has dim lighting with candlelit atmosphere. This gives away to the brick and mortar style of the building which gives it more of a city Italian restaurant. The music was a bit all over the place from EDM to todays hits. Nothing vulgar but didn't set the mood properly. There was plenty of seating but understandable to have a reservation as the dining room (and outdoor 4 season porch) filled up very quickly. The booths were a bit small but can be moved for better adjustment. The bathrooms are in the kitchen walking past the fresh and housemade display of the gelato giving you a glimpse of what the kitchen is like.
The service was attentive and took care of every thing that made the experience that much better. Our server was friendly and didn't mind to have a small chat that wouldn't have impeded others experience. There was another server that went through and asked us if we needed things that our original server had already asked us. The servers were nice, respectable, and relatable.
Our drinks we had was the Old Fashioned Sweet Potato and the Raspberry Mojito. Both were good and not too strong so that the flavors came through nicely. The thing that made it a good experience for me was the asking of what bourbon I would like with my Old Fashioned. That is next level customer service without any additional cost for substitution.
The food we had was pretty good and worth going back again to try other items. We started off with the house made Ricotta with local honey. The ricotta was creamy, smooth, and easily spreadable. With a local dab of honey all on top of homemade bread toasted on one side made it perfect for a starter to the evening. The main course was pretty good also with the Chicken Parm and Chicken Piccata. The Chicken Parm had a perfect amount of sauce and cheese topping with the chicken itself being perfectly fried that the chicken was still moist. The Chicken Piccata was cooked all little to long and had a slight chew to it with the breading not being to present. The piccata sauce was not too buttery but didn't have to much lemon zest either. The sauce was good if you were able to get some from the bottom to have on the chicken. The capers and grape tomatoes are always a touch on the piccata that is needed. As for the noodles, they were fresh and tasted fantastic. For our dessert we had (of course) Tiramisu and Affagato. The Tiramisu was a good (little bit too much after dinner) portion. The lady fingers were not over soaked and the marscarpone was creamy. The coffee and rum flavors were very present throughout the dessert. As for the Affagato, 2 wonderful vanilla Gelato scoops with crumples of biscotti and with the Pirouline sticking out of the Gelato made the presentation amazing. With the espresso nice and warm and smells controlling the air around made a wonderful pour over the Gelato. The combination was nothing short of being a great affagato.
Overall, I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes and wines as VIA is what it means to have an Italian experience in the city of Worcester.”
“Best oysters around, super fresh. Always impressed with the food and this is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots. Absolutely phenomenal service from Bradley our server he was attentive, quick and extremely professional. 10/10 will be returning soon!”
“Great dining experience, authentic Italian food and great service.”

“It's dunkin donuts it depends on what you get and your style of coffee they have great smelling coffee beans but without their expresso shot it's to watery unless it's done right it's not the best. But overall they have many coffee and many food options just find your flavor and customize be specific on how you want it otherwise it might be not be to par.”
“Fast, cheap, and exactly what you expect — sometimes that’s all you need. Grabbed a quick breakfast sandwich and hash browns, and it hit the spot. Open 24 hours, which is perfect when you’re on the go any time of day (or night).
So if you’re just looking for something quick and familiar, McDonald’s always does the job.

“So I get McDonalds drive through today. They ask me to park, I understand why they want to as they are measured by ownership to be as speedy as possible and are timed on the checkouts at the drive-thru. But then the employees have to walk through the pooring rain asking cars randomly if this is their order (5 cars parked). I'm not mad that they screwed up my order at all. I'm mad at the incompetance of the management to put their staff in harms way to fit metrics during a freakin pandemic. Its embarrassing upon the ownership at this site and I feel bad for the great workers they have. End rant. #McDonalds McDonald's 529 SW Cutoff, Worcester, MA 01607”

“OMG!!!! SO FANTASTIC. Went For the 1st time this morning with my daughter who is gluten free. We both got gluten free waffles. Gluten free breads, pastry & breakfast staples are really hard to pull off. THESE WAFFLES WERE PERFECT. (taste & texture). The toppings so fresh... I had the "Californian" Avocado so green and ripe... yummy sauce (real name) lives up to it's name.. I added bacon.. it was thick & crumble and there was a kick of sweetness that brought all the flavors together. PERFECTION! Appreciated the friendliness of the dude that was working the counter and cooking. THANK YOU. Will definitely be back for more!!!”
“The food at Fatima's is absolutely delicious and very fresh. The owner is an amazing human being who is incredibly kind. My daughter loves a cake she makes, and Fatima was out of it on the day we were visiting the restaurant. I told the owner we would be back for cake on our next visit, when my daughter was home from college. The owner told me that there was no way my daughter was headed back to school without having her favorite cake. She made a special batch that morning, when she was not even open, in order for my daughter to enjoy it before she left. Both my daughter and I were in tears, we could not believe her incredible kindness. I hope this place succeeds greatly and is around for years to come! Fantastic service, incredible food, and kindness are a winning combination!”

“I came here today for the first time and can honestly say I’ve found a new favorite spot!!! Despite the busy atmosphere, we didn’t have to wait long for a table and the service was very fast! The food was amazing, the portions were generous, and the “Very Berry Grilled Cornbread” is a winner!!! Definitely coming back here ❤️”
“Sushi Miyazawa in Worcester is excellent! The sushi is fresh, beautifully made, and the flavors are well-balanced. I especially love the ume shiso and the toro maki :) A solid choice for anyone looking for sushi in the area, though you likely want to make a reservation of dining in!”
“Always incredible-super fresh sushi and top-notch service. A+++ Perfect spot for a night out!”

“Happy Birthday, _____! Now here’s a happy twist! _____ (a leap year baby! 😉 ) treated us to her Happy Birthday celebration at the splendiferous Shawarma Palace yesterday! Right across the side street from The Commons at Worcester City Hall! Yes! We New Englanders know how to party! _____, her husband _____, pal _____, and yours truly (all of us Leominsterites) made merry at the best middle eastern establishment around! (It’s been a favorite of mine for some time!) Oversized containers piled high with falafel, kibbeh, egg plant, grape leaves, rice, vegetables, as well as beef and chicken (all separated for the veggies among us, ahem!), hummus, tahini, pita bread, baklava, etc. etc.! All in the wonderful Shawarma Palace! When I worked in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) in the 1980s, I fell in love with the orange-and-lemon-flavored shawarmas along Al Baatha Street, the central traditional thoroughfare at the time. Today, we all got to replicate those flavors at the Shawarma Palace! Hurray and hurrah!”
“Today I ordered the Monti Cristo Sandwich !!! OMG !!! It was So Delicious that I ate the whole thing . I just couldn't Stop Eating it . I also got one to take Home . The Food at Lou Roc's is Incredible !! And the Portions of Food are big . And the Prices are Reasonable . My Friend and I usually go once a Week . But we will return again Tomorrow . Thank you For Such Great Food .”

“They are catering our upcoming wedding. We’ve seen how they do simchas, Yomtov, and festivals, and we are continuously impressed. And, weekly Shabbat kiddush. It’s a heimish deli in Chabad. The whole organization is a gift to Central Mass.”
“Birthday dinner vibes at Sham in Worcester. My amazing friends spoiled me with a feast & it did not disappoint! We kicked things off with the trio of dips — beet hummus, classic hummus, & baba ganoush — all silky smooth perfection. Then came the kibbeh & the crispiest wings ever. For mains, we dove into the chicken shawarma wrap & the Sham mixed grill with rice — juicy, flavorful, & worth every bite. Of course, no celebration is complete without something sweet, dessert was hareese and kunafe. From start to finish, everything was bursting with flavor & the service made it feel extra special. Worcester foodies, this spot is a must-try!”

“I love this place so much. The food, vibe and staff are all I could ask for. so good, so relaxing, so friendly. 10/10. I especially love the Tiger Eye Maki, Mount Fuji rolls, Tuna Tataki and Oishi Teriyaki. The spicy maki rolls even give you four different fish options!!!”
“The food is so warm, comforting, and made with such care. The atmosphere is always festive. Employees and customers are always in a happy mood. The drinks are tasty, refreshing and full of spirit. The chips and salsa are a great start, but be careful not to devour them and spoil the appetite you'll need to tackle your main dish! You'll walk out extremely satisfied because of the wonderful food you consumed. But, you'll also be pleasantly surprised because Pepe's is the best bang for your buck in Worcester. Highly recommended!!!”
“I highly recommend stopping into Up Hill Nutrition!!! They have the best Waffles on Fridays and the best energy liftoff Teas!! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. The team behind the bar are always happy and take the time to say hello. Great place to hangout with friends and catch up! 😊”

“Amazing, I was super late to pick up due to no parking and was so nervous I was too late, they kept my food warm and walked outside even! Amazing food and amazing people!! Made my day”
“I don’t know why I waited so long to go here. This place is phenomenal. It’s so worth the over one hour drive from N.H. I will definitely be back! Great atmosphere and friendly people.”
“Although I do recommend their food, i have a complaint that needs to be addressed by management sooner rather than later: Lost Prescription Glasses at Antonio’s – Seeking Help On Saturday, February 8, I dined at Antonio’s in Worcester and accidentally left my prescription glasses on the table. The next day, I called the restaurant, and a staff member confirmed they had found them and would set them aside for me. However, when I went to pick them up on Monday, my glasses were nowhere to be found. I asked the staff to check the security cameras, but I was told they didn’t have time, and later, another employee said the cameras wouldn’t show the seating area. I find it concerning that my glasses were supposedly found on Sunday but had disappeared by Monday. I’ve now been without my new prescription glasses for three days, and replacing them will be a costly expense since my insurance won’t cover another pair this year. I’m simply asking Antonio’s to review the camera footage to determine what happened. If they find my glasses, great—it will save me a lot of money. If not, at least I’ll know they made an effort. I’ve been a loyal customer, but I’m very disappointed by their lack of interest in helping me. I hope they reconsider and take action.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We celebrated our 35th anniversary and my husband’s 56th birthday at Joey’s Bar & Grill in Worcester, and it was perfect from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond — multiple people came by to thank us for coming, especially when they learned we had driven two hours to be there. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and made the night extra special. Dinner started with warm homemade bread and oil for dipping. Scott had the braised short ribs, I had the steak tips with grilled veggies — both were absolutely delicious. We ended by sharing the most incredible strawberry shortcake with homemade grilled biscuits, lemon curd, strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream (with a candle, of course!). 🍓✨ In a city with so many options, Joey’s was truly the best choice. We’ll definitely be back — even though it’s a two-hour drive, it’s absolutely worth it!”
“Real Greek food! Not “Americanized” for the non-Greeks! Efcharisto.”
“I found Olo about a year ago when my spouse was in a nearby hospital. I had looked up “ best Neapolitan pizza near me”, and they were ranked very high. I came in and loved it! Now I’m Hooked! The wood fired pizza, the Detroit style And the pastas are amazing! Start with the burrata! It’s amazing! Just came back from having my bday there. So happy! Don’t forget Thursday is 3 for 30.00!”
“Thanks to Live To Eat Food for the reminder to visit Nuovo Restaurant in Worcester. I hadn’t been back since around the time they opened—10+ years ago—& let me say, they did not disappoint. We arrived around 6 PM, & the place was buzzing with at least three Christmas parties going on, so we grabbed seats at the bar. We started with some excellent martinis, then moved on to appetizers (after the bread, of course). We had the fig–mascarpone stuffed phyllo dough & the best chicken lemon orzo soup—truly unmatched anywhere else in the city. For entrées, he had the lobster pappardelle special, & I went with pasta in vodka sauce with meatballs. We were completely stuffed but still couldn’t resist ordering the blueberry-crumble cheesecake to go. Despite how busy they were, the service was great, & everything we had was spot-on.”
“Excellent, delicious and authentic Mediterranean food. We loved everything. A great variety for vegetarians too. The mixed mezze plate is a great value — with lots of leftovers.”
“Great nice place. Good service , great food. Great gravy and fresh pasta. Nice bread too. Nice vino. Cabernet”
“Cigars ordered Wednesday the 25th, tracked by Canada Post, were supposed to be delivered Friday the 27th. But the same day I received a message from Canada Post saying they made a delivery error and don't know when they will deliver my package. Well done, Canada Post, and thank you to Victory Cigars for the 5-star service! 👍”
“beautiful atmosphere pleasant place to go to enjoy meet up with friends”
“Excellent sushi and hibachi. Awesome service! The best bartenders around🥰”
“I visited here December 4, 2023. I had a delicious scallop and haddock mix over fettacchini with a spicy sauce that was to rave about. Not sure when I will get to Worcester, MA again but I will definitely visit La Cuchina. As a bonus, my server was a gentle soul, Michael. Extremely attentive and generous with his time and suggestions. He is expecting his first child, so if you are so lucky to have him serve you, please be generous, as we all know the expense of a new child. Michael have a blessed day! -James Dalton”
“I always order through doordash and hot table never misses! Their ingredients are always fresh and very taste, the level of dedication they put in their food is outstanding! I would suggest hot table to anyone who hasn’t tried it already if the want a delicious and filling meal. I always get their tuna panini and it is SO good, it’s my go to order from them!”
“Everybody is so friendly, Rob the owner always makes you feel comfortable and welcomed, fun games and different events all the time where everyone is encouraged to participate, bands sometimes, dancing if you want .. just an all around great place!”
“Dinner on Wednesday, chicken special was amazing. Dinner Thursday was the antipasto and pizza special! Best pizza I have had in awhile. The cheese was delicious and we ordered the Mama pizza, ricotta, eggplant, cheese, and meatball. We asked they add red sauce and they did. Both of us enjoyed it. Waitstaff both night were there every time you finished something, polite, attentive and it was a pleasure to see quick service. After COVID most restaurants don’t have enough help, not here, no waiting at all. Food was a 10 out of 10!!”
“Wonderful experience as well as sight to see.. Upscale for its location however hosts perfectly for any afternoon or evening type food fixings.. Seafood is certainly their special.. The Clam Chowder is a must try for all local foodies!!..”
“I came in with a group for a birthday and the food and service were great. We ordered everything from Guiness Pie to Chicken Pot Pie. No complaints from anyone and our waitress, Bridget deserves a raise for putting up with us! We'll be back!”
“I go to this restaurant often, sometimes alone and sometimes with friends. The food is always so good and the service is excellent! They welcome you with a smile and check on you during your meal. It’s a nice space and clean.”
“This Worcester location is one of THE best RCSHs in the country. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Steaks served on a 500 degree plate makes their incredible steaks sing when they're served. We love this Worcester RCSH location. It's our got to for special occasions, holidays and when we want a special experience. Worth every penny.”
“My son is GF and he was very happy with everything he tried on the menu. We will be back!!! Thank you for your hospitality”
“Favourite Chinese restaurant in the Worcester area! Food is authentic and good, good portion size and affordable prices! In an environment where most resturants are raising their prices, Red Peppers kept their pricing affordable and accessible for families. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Very reasonable priced, with generous portions as well. Only downside is that the parking lot is an absolute pain in the snow. Service is prompt and friendly. Drinks are cheap and well made. Their pad Thai specialties are also worth a try”
“We had Julia Grace as our waitress this past Thursday. She gave us some good recommendations, I was everywhere from the New England IPA to a stout, and then onto a mango seltzer drink. My only complaint, work on your buffalo dip. Very dry. Go take a trip out to Clinton bar and Grill and try theirs (not saying this to be a dick) it’ll blow your mind. Your beer always great! Will be back soon! 🍻”
“We had Gracia as our server… all I can say is…. Wow! We could not have asked for better service. She also gave us tips for where to take our rescue Poodle… Uxbridge Dog Park! Here we go next!”
“Reopened with a new manager. Absolutely awesome. Very cool vibe with incredible craft cocktails made with fresh ingredients. Also offer many food items. Tons of parking behind the building. If you're looking for a new place for drinks check it out now. You will not be disappointed.”
“The restaurant is amazing and everyone near and far should try this restaurant. The food always amazing and hot. The staff are so nice and welcoming and always willing to help any way possible. I been coming here for years every week. I’m sure you will Enjoy it too.”
“Atmosphere- We went on a Saturday night and compared to other bars in Worcester I would say it was pretty slow. At least it was not crowded!
Bartenders- Both male bartenders were respectful and lovely!
ID- They scan at the door! Security was nice! I’ve had bad experiences with security too you come across more bad than good.
THE BATHROOM IS SO CUTE!!!! Stocked with things girlies need too! :)”

“Went for some treats. Loved it. Sweet couple and she helped me with everything I needed and when my kids were being rowdy she just smiled and said not to worry. Love the house made kielbasa. Worth the drive!”
“thought this was a restaurant not a dating site. That #girl Miranda you met was smart not to give you her number. He's creepy stalker. To all women-Stay far away from Matt Kuszewski-he’s a psycho & abuses women, among other things He’s a scumbag. Who looks for some #girl on a restaurant review site. Creepy stalker; desperate much??”
“Terrific food, friendly service, comfortable atmosphere, fair pricing. A real find.”
“This evening, I went to Off The Rails in Worcester. I sat at their great bar. The service was wonderful with an attentive bartender and host. The bartender was named Jon and was very friendly. The owner/ manager is also doing a great job. The bar and restaurant is decorated with photos of Americana and Country music greats. I ordered the delicious pulled pork platter with cornbread, coleslaw, and macaroni and cheese. The pulled pork tasted fresh and flavorful, the cornbread was moist, and the coleslaw was some of the best I've ever had. The food was 18 dollars, but was sharable and worth it. I definitely want to go back when there is a band/ live music. I am giving this restaurant and music venue 5 stars.”
“Honestly delicious food here and great service! I was in the mood for spaghetti and meatballs while my partner got lasagna! It was really good! The salad was okay, didnt hit like it did when I went years ago. Breadsticks pretty good! Our waiter was really attentive and kind!”
“Very nice restaurant but a bit dark, we couldn't see our food too well. The meals was good the pasta was a bit bland. Everyone enjoyed the meals and the portions were large. The menu is limited but great for the Italian experience. Would recommend again.”
“Insomnia Cookies never disappoints! Their cookies are warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious every single time. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the late-night delivery is a lifesaver.
Whether it’s the classic chocolate chunk or one of their seasonal specials, everything tastes incredible. If you’re craving amazing cookies in Worcester, I highly recommend Insomnia Cookies—they’re unbeatable!”
“It's National Oyster Day & I'm hooked on The Mercantile's offer of $1 oysters with strawberry mignonette from 4-6, Monday to Thursday, is unbeatable. I also devoured their goat cheese bites, crispy broccoli, & boom boom shrimp, all incredible appetizers. My friends' mac & cheese with buffalo shrimp & lobster fettuccine were insane. To top it off Claire, our waitress, was absolute perfection. Back to the mac & cheese - top tier!”
“Celebrating my wife's birthday . Requested a bottle of chilled Chardonnay be at the table when we arrive. It was not . In fact they never even recognized my wife's birthday. My wife ordered Shrimp Scampi and they initially brought her the wrong meal. The correct meal was brought out very quickly. Our waiter was very good. The experience just fell short of my expectations. Not sure we'll revisit.”
“We just had our daughter’s bridal shower at Grill on the Hill. What a wonderful experience! Gino the owner was so easy to talk to. David and the other staff member were so accommodating. The food was delicious! We would definitely recommend having a special occasion there. Very warm and cozy atmosphere with a beautiful fireplace. We were able decorate as we wished.”
“Really good food good mood Everything delicious Thanks Mexicali family”
“Great place the wait staff was superb they went above beyond to assure that clients are pleased. The food was spicy and gave an avant- gout of what I will face next month as I travel to Ghana for the time!”
“Really unique atmosphere here that can suit any crowd depending on the time of day! You can get a mix of great cheap Polynesian cocktails, American-style fried Chinese foods (their crab ragoon and egg rolls are the best in Worcester), and excellent sushi (I highly recommend the B-52 roll).
They have been here for over 15 years for a reason! They always order the same ingredients and have high standards. If you want consistent quality, services, and food, start visiting Mai Tai!
Go say hi to my favorite sushi chef, Steve!”
“Stopped in tonight on our way through town and absolutely loved it! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great and the service was amazing! Very quick to wait on us and make sure that we were taken care of. Will definitely stop back in again when we are down this way again!”
“I Didn't feel out of place, but I was. The bartender was pleasant and attentive. I chatted with a DJ from NYC that was visiting the place while he was in the area. It was a nice way to spend a bit of time at the end of a long day.”
“10/10! The staff make you feel like family and are truly the best!! They always go above and beyond and the food is amazing!!”

“Happy Birthday, _____! Now here’s a happy twist! _____ (a leap year baby! 😉 ) treated us to her Happy Birthday celebration at the splendiferous Shawarma Palace yesterday! Right across the side street from The Commons at Worcester City Hall! Yes! We New Englanders know how to party! _____, her husband _____, pal _____, and yours truly (all of us Leominsterites) made merry at the best middle eastern establishment around! (It’s been a favorite of mine for some time!) Oversized containers piled high with falafel, kibbeh, egg plant, grape leaves, rice, vegetables, as well as beef and chicken (all separated for the veggies among us, ahem!), hummus, tahini, pita bread, baklava, etc. etc.! All in the wonderful Shawarma Palace! When I worked in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) in the 1980s, I fell in love with the orange-and-lemon-flavored shawarmas along Al Baatha Street, the central traditional thoroughfare at the time. Today, we all got to replicate those flavors at the Shawarma Palace! Hurray and hurrah!”
“The best house lo mein ever! Ordered the general tso extra spicy, was crispy and covered with sticky sauce. Everything was really good only letdown was the crab ragoon, I don’t even think there was a half teaspoon of filling in them. This is our goto fast food Chinese.”
“Some of the Best Food around is found here-these guys really know how to cook, and the prices are amazing for what you receive. I've been ordering from this address since its Hadwen days, and I'm really happy that Carlo's is there now. Try the Grilled Chicken dinner...”
“Dinner on Wednesday, chicken special was amazing. Dinner Thursday was the antipasto and pizza special! Best pizza I have had in awhile. The cheese was delicious and we ordered the Mama pizza, ricotta, eggplant, cheese, and meatball. We asked they add red sauce and they did. Both of us enjoyed it. Waitstaff both night were there every time you finished something, polite, attentive and it was a pleasure to see quick service. After COVID most restaurants don’t have enough help, not here, no waiting at all. Food was a 10 out of 10!!”
“I visited here December 4, 2023. I had a delicious scallop and haddock mix over fettacchini with a spicy sauce that was to rave about. Not sure when I will get to Worcester, MA again but I will definitely visit La Cuchina. As a bonus, my server was a gentle soul, Michael. Extremely attentive and generous with his time and suggestions. He is expecting his first child, so if you are so lucky to have him serve you, please be generous, as we all know the expense of a new child. Michael have a blessed day! -James Dalton”
“Looking forward to a visit when out that way! That name GAMBRINO rings a bell!”

“I love this place so much. The food, vibe and staff are all I could ask for. so good, so relaxing, so friendly. 10/10. I especially love the Tiger Eye Maki, Mount Fuji rolls, Tuna Tataki and Oishi Teriyaki. The spicy maki rolls even give you four different fish options!!!”
“I LOVE wingstop. I’m an avid buyer, once a week. It hurts for this review. BUT I’m sick and tired of trying to call to place an order, and they don’t pick up. (Sometimes I’m driving and can’t do online) then when I get there, not only is customer service RUDE, BUT they’re on their goddamn phones while it rings. I told her I called four times she said “well it didn’t ring”. No sooner THE PHONE RANG. For me to spend almost $100 a week, that’s some terrible service. I don’t think I’ll ever go back.”
“My family and i do pizza Friday every week. We try and explore different places and their specialty pizza. We found i love Frankie’s online, we live in blackstone and decided to take the ride. It did not disappoint. We got a large buffalo chicken Mac and cheese with tater tot’s, the size of the slice and pizza was unbelievable! We got a medium traditional cheese, soooooooo good! The sauce was different, gave papa Gino’s with a homemade feel, huge fan. We also did the breakfast pizza, party for the tastebuds. Every pizza was made with love, looked amazing, tasted amazing, and well worth the money. The staff was so friendly. The woman who ran the front, such a warm smile greeting! I can’t wait to go back!”
“Incredibly fun, so many games, great drinks. It was a great choice for date night. Was really impressed with the game selection, a lot of throwbacks. Had so much fun with the pinball machines - you can play to have fun and not worry about having a pocket full of quarters!”
“Sabrosa Venezuela catered a last minute event for us. They worked with me to provide a variety of foods for different allergies and restrictions. They offered wonderful advice and the food? Oh my god, everyone raved about how amazing the food was (and it was!). I cannot recommend this place enough, they are incredible.”
“We love Chick-fil-a and wanted to go there to celebrate our adoption day! We were waiting for our family to arrive to order our food and Grace asked if it was someone’s birthday. Grace and Kayla made our celebration super special! They made our day extra special! The came out with a special treat and gifted us a meal. We appreciate it. Thanks Grace, Kayla, and Chick-fil-a team for all that you do!”

“OMG! We just left a love fest of service and food! We loved the staff and chef, each so warm and accommodating! And it’s hard to know where to start with the food! The crème brûlée french toast was incredible, the bacon, smoky, and my chai was silky and had a perfect combo of spices. I had a spinach pie with a flaky pastry top, and others ordered a Brazilian couscous dish, a humongous omelete and a yummy veggie combo. Oh, and the smoothies? One Soursop and a mixed berry. On and on, but all to say we were very happy❣️”
“Last week I was a sore loser, but the second I stepped into the shop I was hit with a wave of euphoria. Just one bite of the Banh Mi Nguoi gave me a six pack, biceps on my biceps, and I can easily bench 315. Just one sip of the Lychee quickly hydrated me and I gained instant charisma. My whole life started to change after a whole Banh Mi. My ex called me and wanted to get back together. I drive a Supra on Sundays and numerous other sport cars that I own on other days. I'm now 6'5" and my DMs are filled with people wanting to get with me. This place is not just a Banh Mi Place, but a blessing from the Four Heavenly Kings and our human minds cannot understand the true divine blessing that is gifted towards us.”
“Birthday dinner vibes at Sham in Worcester. My amazing friends spoiled me with a feast & it did not disappoint! We kicked things off with the trio of dips — beet hummus, classic hummus, & baba ganoush — all silky smooth perfection. Then came the kibbeh & the crispiest wings ever. For mains, we dove into the chicken shawarma wrap & the Sham mixed grill with rice — juicy, flavorful, & worth every bite. Of course, no celebration is complete without something sweet, dessert was hareese and kunafe. From start to finish, everything was bursting with flavor & the service made it feel extra special. Worcester foodies, this spot is a must-try!”
“Their crossaints are not only creative in flavor but are Top notch!!! The churro sugar and potato curry are the absolute BOMB!!! Cookies are pretty amazing and tasty too!! I’m pretty confident that whatever you try there, you will be crawling back for more!!! TRY EVERYTHING!!!”
“I finally tried their viral Golden Shawarma and honestly, it did not disappoint! The flavor was incredible — every bite was so satisfying and full of taste. What also stood out to me was how clean and well-kept the place was. The atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely living up to the hype, and I’ll be coming back for more”
“Little Havana played a huge role in making CASA’s signature fundraising event a success! Their incredible food, professionalism, and generosity created an unforgettable dining experience for our guests. We’re so grateful for their partnership and highly recommend them to anyone looking to work with a team that truly cares about their community.😊”
