Lou Roc’s Diner was my first diner experience in Worcester, and it definitely set the bar high! The first thing you notice is the big line of locals waiting to get in, which is always a good sign. It’s cash-only, but luckily there’s an ATM inside, so it’s easy to grab cash if you need it. The atmosphere here was fantastic—warm, welcoming, and everything you’d hope for in a classic diner. The service was amazing, with friendly waitresses who seemed to genuinely enjoy their work. They were quick and attentive, offering coffee refills and delivering food promptly, even with a full house on a busy Sunday. The portions were generous, and we were able to sit comfortably in a booth with my friends, chatting and enjoying our meal even though we were in a bit of a rush. Lou Roc’s offers that perfect blend of homely vibes, great food, and outstanding hospitality. I’ll definitely be back, and if you’re ever in Worcester, it’s a spot you can’t miss. For locals, you probably already know how great it is! Highly recommended!

Solid diner w/ the most solid staff and clientele. You can tell this place is an institution when you go in. The ladies know what they’re doing and as a confused outsider, I felt like I got what I came for. The portion sizes were great. Exactly as expected and their options they had allowed me to get everything I want. I think the most exciting thing for me was the seasoned home fries. I’m so dang tired of the fried home fries with no seasoning from most diners in the Boston area. So having we’ll seasoned home fries really gave me joy. The pancakes has an amazing crust that’s created while still being fluffy. It’s not my absolute favourite texture but it’s its own unique deliciousness in my book. My partner said their sausage gravy and biscuits was really solid. Of course we didn’t finish it and we took it back to eat later. Great stop on the way to western mass for an excursion. Would do it again if it’s in the cards.

We were staying in Worcester for only a few days. My son recommended Lou Roc's for a good place to get breakfast. It was actually a GREAT place to get breakfast, styled after a train dining car. It was Friday morning around 1030 and every table was full, I took that as a good sign. The staff was really moving, so it only took a few minutes before we were seated. They took our drink order and had the drinks out in a hurry. We both ordered the big breakfast which was around $9 and came with eggs, home fries, bacon and sausage, toast and your choice of pancakes or French toast. The portion sizes were very generous and the food was delicious. The service was great and we never had to wait for a refill. I would highly recommend a stop at Lou Roc's if you are ever in the Worcester area. They also have lunch and homemade ice-cream shakes.

This is normally our go-to breakfast place which has huge portions of delicious food. But today we had to leave without eating.. waitress was friendly and fast. When she brought us our food there was a piece of hair on my husbands plate (in plain sight), I spotted it immediately and pointed it out to the waitress. She promptly apologized and asked if he wanted his pancakes remade, he said no since it was just to the side of the food, no big deal-mistakes happen sometimes. Then I asked her why my omelet looked smaller than it normally comes, she agreed that it looked smaller and said she would talk to the manager and walks away. Okay so I start to cut my omelet and checking out my food when I found a pube-like hair in my homefries. (At this point I’m not sure if the hair was put there intentionally since there was another hair on my husbands plate and bc I asked for my homefries to be extra crispy?) (I understand mistakes happen which is why we brushed off the first hair, but after the second?? How is that even possible??) Okay so we get grossed out and haven’t even taken one bite when the manager comes over to tell me that the omelet isn’t as big bc I didn’t have meat in it and bc I asked for half the onions and peppers (which is the same way I always get it and it’s never that small).. so dumbfounded with her attitude I mentioned the hair on his plate and mine, she quickly swiped the hair off my plate (didn’t apologize once) and quickly snatched our plates and said okay I won’t charge you for anything. (With the biggest attitude!!) And my husband said that’s okay we’re leaving. She walked away mumbling something under her breath.

I am very disappointed and disgusted with the awful service I received from this “manager”. You’d think you would treat customers better so they’d return? I’ve always received great service here I don’t understand why she was so rude? Due to this woman’s attitude I doubt we...

Looking for one of the best diners In the country. You do not have to look any further. This diner offers large portions, creative dishes and amazing service.

Even though, I do not live in the area. I have visited this diner twice and each time has been a wonderful meal. If you are on a diet, do not go here. The portions are very large. On our first visit, our waitress had to tell us to change our hashbrowns to a half portion because we were going to have too much.

Here are the highlights and suggestions to make the most out of a visit to this great spot.

-Get their early – avoid the rush and enjoy a quiet morning with the regulars -Order the home-made hash. You will not regret it. -Check out an off their special offerings the Irish & Polish Benedict are great

Now, it is not a question that I will be back to this diner. Final note, Worcester is known for diners and it is really great to find a real well run diner keeping this great American tradition.

If you are interested in seeing the history of diners, go to the Miss Worcester diner which is one of the model diners which were originally manufactured in Worcester and sent around the country. I personally prefer Lou Roc’s all-around super star but Miss Worcester has some darn good cool French toast.

My mother came here with her friends and had a very bad experience. My mom has a pork allergy so she asked if an item she wanted was cooked with bacon. Her friends and I were shocked to hear the server was incredibly rude and dismissive to my mom and just told her that everything is cooked together. Server said if my mom doesn't need an epi-pen, that she shouldn't waste the cook's time just because she is "picky" because they're very busy. Most unprofessional restaurant I have heard of. I doubt it is allergy certified and any of the staff has been trained to accommodate, if what the server said is true. The food my mom did get still tasted exactly like the food her friends got that was cooked with bacon. She's not sure if they cooked it separately at all. She didn't like it anyway because it was too greasy and salty to her tastes, and the server was again extremely rude to her about it, even though my mom didn't say anything to her about the food. You should also note that none of the staff wear their masks properly, this server actually took her mask off to speak to the customers. Many of the customers also don't care about masks and staff doesn't enforce. Just don't come here if you have an allergy or dietary preference, or are...
