“We tried the 111 Chop house’s special wagyu menu last night.
We split the Teriyaki Beef Skewers to start. They were very tender and the pineapple chili sauce added a lot of flavor, definitely would get again!
The pre dinner Salads were fresh as can be with the perfect portions.
My fiancé had the 7 OZ. WESTHOLME AUSTRALIAN WAGYU FILET. Her first time having Wagyu Which she loved! It was perfectly cooked medium rare.
For the first time I tried the A-5 JAPANESE KAGOSHIMA WAGYU SIRLOIN. Of course cooked chef’s choice, medium rare. It was amazing, melted in your mouth like butter!
We had split the garlic mash potatoes and honey glazed Brussels sprouts, with bacon as our sides. Both are to die for!
For drinks we both started with the espresso martinis, which was great. They were a stronger coffee flavor leaning martini. Then we each got a one of their signature cocktails the “Flirtini” which we both loved!
For dessert, we split the crème brûlée, it was so good that we could have each ate one!
This was my fiancé‘s first time going, and my second time and we will definitely be going back!??

“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 give the stuff the best compliment they have heard the day today they waved me up to the count and said we enjoyed that feedback so much we want to give you a free hotdog on the house. If I could rate them 1 out of 10 stars on here I would give them 10 stars all day long. But because I can't give them 10 star on yelp I am going to give them a solid rating of 5 stars.”

“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”

“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!”

“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 had our wedding rehearsal dinner/welcome party upstairs at Nuovo in August of 2022 which included almost 100 people. We could not be happier with our choice!!! The food and drinks are excellent and the staff are so hard-working and friendly. The owners are phenomenal and genuinely care about the happiness and satisfaction of their guests. We discussed our vision for the evening with Loreta in advance and she sure did help us achieve it. We had our own bar and servers, as well as a solo live singer we hired who they were easily able to accommodate. Loreta was incredibly responsive, kind, helpful, and patient. My family and I have also had dinner here and we just can’t say enough about how wonderful our several experiences have been. We will absolutely make the trip to Worcester to go back. Huge thanks to Loreta and all the other amazing staff for helping us create beautiful memories. We would HIGHLY recommend Nuovo to anyone!!”

“The only good Chinese food in Worcester, even better than the Chinese food in Boston... The Chinese just go for it.
Recommend the Sichuan style eggplant (I must order it every time I go), stir-fried duck with ginger, green beans, and garlic pork ribs. Just eat it?Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people! ! ! Real-name system recommendation
When will the boss open takeout? I was so greedy that I opened Google Maps and gave a good review to quench my thirst...”

“I was staying at the Beechwood hotel and stopped by Sonoma early in the morning looking for coffee. Gigi greeted me with a smile and assured me I’d love theirs. It was incredible- dark, rich, and so smooth without a hint of bitterness! I seriously could not wait for the next morning- for both the coffee and getting to chat with Gigi again! I’ll be back when we are next in Worcester- hopefully to dine at Sonoma as well.”

“The most elegant restaurant in Worcester! And the patio area is a great escape from the city. Prime rib is the best in town and a bargain at $19.99. We highly recommend this restaurant for delicious food, grast atmosphere and superior service. Luciano's has it all!

“Good food choices and kind & supportive people. I stayed here the last 3 nights so that I could be close to our elder Senior Mom in the Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center after she had a health crisis. Every front desk person and staff person I have met has been kind, knowledgeable and has gone the extra mile for me to be comfortable and be able to get a little rest and nutrition. Thanks to all at Courtyard by Marriott Worcester.”

“We hosted a graduation event at the Grill on the Hill in May. The venue location is convenient. The sunset over the course was spectacular. The service was top-notch. Food was excellent. We worked with Bria on all the details for the event. She was responsive, friendly and fun! Definitely recommend the Grill on the Hill for your next event. The weather allowed us to move back and forth between the function room, porch and sand pit. A really fun experience for everyone!”

“I've been coming here for years. Love the food. Place needs a few renovations, but the food makes up for that. The pho, soft shell crab, sizzling beef, pork chops, and all the finger food delicious. The drinks are also good.”

“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.”
Chinese • $$
“The food is the best. We order from them all the time. Last time, I ordered food, I used my credit card, and a few days later, someone withdrew $130.00 from Atwood Bar in Cambridge mass. Happy house was the last place I used my card, so….. I will never use a credit card again, when paying for food there. It’s too bad that they are getting a reputation for stealing credit card numbers, because the food is the best.”

“I’m a Worcester native but now live in RI. I’m so proud coming back home and seeing all the changes. The mercantile building itself and concept is fabulous however all depends where you sit. We were first flood in the middle which was not the best. I recommend top floors or by the window. Love the key chain that donates to local charities . We came for my frisks birthday and I told the server this - server didn’t even say happy birthday nor was their cake or anything brought out. Pretty cheap for a place like this. We each got margaritas- the cocktails have way too many sugary ingredients first sign that drinks aren’t well made. I asked for drinks to be made a specific way and they accommodated . The food was very good pickle pizza to die for!!! The server asked if I would leave some e yea so she could have it??? Very shocking. The staff all looked miserable and are not welcoming. Overall the mercantile missed the mark. Step it up with better staff and a more experienced mixologist!”

Chinese • $$
“Loved the crab ragoons and the owners are so friendly!!! Stopped by late night, less than 15 minutes before closing, and got crab ragoons (10/10), chicken lo mein (7/10) and sesame chicken (5/10). Service was fast, efficient and food was hot. It is your typical Chinese takeout joint, no frills. It’s not Michelin star quality food by any means but a great late night meal.”

“I really loved the food here. I have worked and lived right near this restaurant for a long time now and I just recently ordered take-out. I wish I had tried this place sooner the food was delicious. The chicken was hot and juicy and fresh. The fries were made to order and they give such generous portions. I've already been back and everything was just as delicious. I think I've found a new favorite take-out restaurant. There is places to sit and eat if you want to eat there.”

Of course the other burger joints mentioned above, NEVER had the concept of great food much less quality staff before the pandemic. I highly recommend Waybacks”

“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”

“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.”

“I decided to try I Love Frankie's! Wow my taste buds are blown away! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken 24" Baked Mac and Cheese with Tater Tots pizza, and it was hands down the best pizza I've had. The 24" size (that's 2 feet of pizza!) was not only massive but absolutely packed with flavor the buffalo chicken, creamy mac and cheese, crispy tater tots and penne is a game changer. The pizza is huge, filling and the ingredients are top notch 😚🤌 you can taste every bite and it's clear they don’t skimp on quality. I’ve had Blue Jeans Pizza and Antonio’s Pizza down on Park Avenue but let me tell you I Love Frankie's definitely outshines both. If you're in the area, this is a must try!! I’m already looking forward to my next order. Highly satisfied and highly recommend!”

“Want to George's Coney Island Lunch today for the first time ever. I have had hotdogs from a lot of different places. I would have to say I love the stuff there and the service is absolutely amazing there. The hotdogs are so freaking delicious for 1 hotdog with the works is $2.75. I give the stuff the best compliment they have heard the day today they waved me up to the count and said we enjoyed that feedback so much we want to give you a free hotdog on the house. If I could rate them 1 out of 10 stars on here I would give them 10 stars all day long. But because I can't give them 10 star on yelp I am going to give them a solid rating of 5 stars.”

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”
“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.”
