Lou Roc's Diner

Come very hungry. Great flavors, portions and price. The wait is so worthy.

Once seated I received very prompt service from a smiling professional waitress which was a great start. After getting coffee served, I placed my order which was a steak and veggie omelette special. I must say when it arrived it was a very large portion. The omelette was delicious and cooked to perfection. The home fries were were tasty and well seasoned.

Good food/ flavor. Only thing is they only take cash but so have an atm inside but you have to pay the fee. Service is good coffee is average prices are good and portions are sufficient. Overall good breakfast spot. Will return

The food is always phenomenal and as others have said, the portions are very generous. Seating on the porch can be rather drafty in the colder months, so I would suggest bundling up if the place seems busy. Sometimes the wait can be long but for me it has always been worth it. Staff is friendly and attentive and prices are reasonable; the only change I'd make is the cash only policy.

They have best Pancakes here!  We came here for my birthday last weekend.  I ordered the blueberry and banana pancakes… soo good!!

It is family owned, which we always adore, and small, cozy, and at almost in the middle of nowhere. The main dining area has the traditional round ceiling, long counter seats, and a few booth seating. The customers were more on the older, retiree type, seemed like all locals, who knew the waitress well. Very warm atmosphere, and we were welcomed with a big smile.So, we were super excited about the food here, I mean, REALLY excited. Why else would someone (me) who is totally NOT the morning person gets up before dawn in order to get there around 6am??? And, I am happy to report, they totally lived up to my expectation. Everything was so delicious! As any "old-fashion" diner would be, they are cash only. Overall, we had a wonderful experience there. Very friendly service, generous portion at low price, and super delicious food. Read my full review of this restaurant and diner on my food blog, foodlovergirl.

All you can eat for about $26/person with a paid per item menu available on request. The selection is a bit low compared to other places but the quality is there. Some items like the Kobe Beef, Rib Eye or Short Rib are more but definitely worth it IMO. I always go for the basic and Tom Yum broth but they offer a few.

Super surprise--really good food.

Amazing portions of great breakfast food. I had the veggie breakfast quesadilla and it was massive. Their egg scrambles are good too and just as large and filling. No frills classic diner environment and friendly service. There can be a wait on weekend mornings but its worth it (we sat at the counter for quicker service).

Probably the gold standard for steak and eggs. Great homemade hash, pancakes and french toast.

Always a great time here, food is delicious and people are great!!

Good service. Big portions and reasonable. We went on a week day so much less crowded than on weekends.

Solid diner for breakfast with good portion sizes. Good pancakes with a nice amount of non-traditional diner items on the specials menu. It's got the cool old-time diner vibe, which I always appreciate. Only problem is it can feel a bit cramped because the place is small. This also means that peak breakfast time has a long wait, which is extra awkward since you can't put a name down, you just "wait in order," (which could have you standing outside for a while).

Love lou rocs wish they were closer. Just get Jeff's hash and you will leave stuffed.

Huge portion! Classic diner, with regulars that have been here for decades. Delicious and great value. Specials on weekends! I like their raisin toast! Friendly hosts and waitresses. Cash only!

Though sometimes a long wait, the food at Lou Roc's is always top notch. I've never walked out of the restaurant hungry, no matter what meal I choose. It's a weekend favorite in the Worcester area, and someplace we'll continue to go to breakfast. The wait staff is generally attentive. I've only sat at the counter once, and while it was a generally pleasant experience, the booths a d tables are a much better experience especially with a party of more than two.Keep up the great experience, and I'll keep coming back.

This diner is on a route that I take often and I am sorry I didn't stop and try this place sooner. The space has a tight layout and I found it difficult to find a place for my jacket and small day-pack. The food here is crazy good, everything I have tried here has been delicious. My favorite so far is the hot Italian sausage with scrambled, home fries and toast. They clearly move a lot of product so everything is very fresh and or made onsite. Now about the portions...I am a big guy and can put down a fair bit of food in a sitting, but getting to a clean plate here really feels like an accomplishment. Breakfast came on a large plate , with the dome of food reaching edge to edge all around. I have not yet tried the lunches , but I suspect the theme carries on....... The photo of my Hash and egges was taken after I had been into it for 5 minutes !!

Food and service are amazing and the prices are even better. Their specials are always fun to try. Best breakfast in Worcester!

Breakfast was amazing and best coffee around.

Breakfast quesadilla was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Didn’t even have room for home fries it was so filling. Will definitely come again

I have been there before and loved it. Choosing to go on Easter Sunday was a mistake , food was soggy , my mistake Other days would have been better. Service is always good though.

A hidden gem thats worth the wait. Its a small diner but the food is worth every penny. i had the Pastrami and swiss on Texas toast and my wife had the home made corned beef hash with stuffed pancakes with sausage.... the sandwich just melted in my mouth and the French frieds where addictive. the hash was nicely prepared and fresh...... this place is definitely a must try so come early becouse it fills up quick.

Always busy but the food is phenomenal. I love their cornbeef hash wrapper in a pancake: sounds weird but so yummy. Staff are friendly as heck.

Our party of 3 was seated after a short wait during the lunchtime rush. The food, as always, was terrific and very filling and the service was friendly and excellent.Lou Roc's remains one of the best values around for breakfast or lunch and is a neighborhood gem.

Ate breakfast here twice last week while visiting family. Ordered the exact same thing as it was so good: Irish Benedict with homemade corn beef hash (with my muffin on the side with jam). The portions are huge so I took home half the hash and had breakfast the next day. I want to try their raisin toast as it looked so good —next time.

Awesome American Breakfast diner! The portion is outrageously big for one person! I love the home fries, Irish Benedict is delicious! Grilled English muffins were done in perfection, they were both pressed grilled and slathered with tons of butter!! Little sausage links were yummy too!!! Everything is sooo good there! The wait wasn't too long for the day I went!

Breakfast heaven!! Bring your appetite...giant portions at great prices. Fluffy pancakes, crispy home fries, perfectly poached eggs and the best hash we've ever had. Waitresses were also amazing... very friendly and attentive. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Awesome as always. Great breakfast. The only diner that could possibly compete is Carls' in Oxford, MA.You get what you pay for. Not cheap.

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.

I heard this place was awesome from a friend who grew up in the area. She recommended the corned beef hash, which the staff at Lou Roc's thought best as part of the Irish Breakfast. It was a ton of food but so good. There are long lines for tables, but if you're there alone or in a pair, the bar seats move fast and give you a good view of the bustling diner. Can't wait to come back!

Always good there service food what you would expect in a five star dinner

Simply fantastic. This is how a diner is supposed to be. We showed up with six people, and it's a small place, but they had us seated in less than 5 minutes. Our food came out within 10 of ordering. It was all great. The hash browns are exactly the way they should be. Crusty outside, but not burnt, with soft and fully cooked potatoes throughout. The coffee was really good too. Not the usual either watery or burnt kind. It was just right. We also tried the pasta, French toast, pancakes, fries, and rye toast. All fantastic. Expect to leave with the "fat and happies", because the portions are solid too. It's cash only, but there's an ATM in the entrance.

Breakfast at the end of the rainbow. Quality and quantity abound. Three egg omelettes are stuffed w fresh fillings of ur choice. Home fries heaped high. Service is incredibly fast and friendly. Note: Cash only. Atm inside does not take credit card w chip. Poor oversight of long line allows some to saunter in ahead even past seniors - honor system Fail.

Great little Diner, comfortable, great service, huge portions delicious food, and great price. Really embodies the idea of an american diner.

Great local diner! Had the Blackstone omelet (spinach, tomato, bacon, topped with Hollandaise).Highly recommended. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area again

Fantastic place with great food portions and quick and friendly staff. Feels super homey and warm. Will definitely be adding Lou Roc’s to my favourite places to go for breakfast. Heads up that the place is CASH ONLY but there is an ATM to withdraw cash by the entrance.

Update:Decided to get the 2 egg western instead of 3 with hash browns. Excellent done soft the way I asked and hash browns were great. This place is consistent and efficient. 5 stars new pic included.Lou Rocks has been around along time- this place rocks but be prepared to wait on weekends

I gave them 4 stars just because the homefries was cold everything else very good..

Always a favorite! Lou Roc's Rocks as one of our favorite breakfast establishments! Just like stepping back into a diner from the 50s with automobile theme, pictures and signage on the walls. Long serving bar with many booths and tables provide a great cosy atmosphere. The only thing missing is the gang from happy days! The friendly service with smiles and large portions of excellently prepared servings will keep you coming back; making Lou Roc's your first choice of breakfast or lunch.

The food is always great, plentiful and reasonable. The waitstaff are helpful, efficient and friendly. The perfect place for breakfast and lunch.

Oh my god what a breakfast if you’re ever out that way stop in there for breakfast great staff great food

enormous portions and aggressively good service. went on a Sunday and the line for seating was long, but it moved. food is delicious. our waters and coffees were always full. hostess handled the line well, keeping track of parties as they came up and seating people accordingly.overall a great diner, deserving of it's praise from woomag & others!

The Strawberry Waffle was yummy. The staff are so pleasent . It is a busy place, so there are wait times

One of few diners that is thriving. This place is awesome and gives you a classic hometown diner feel even if you aren't from the area.

Fantastic! It was our first time, we will definitely be back! The staff is super friendly, Jody is awesome! Huge portions of amazing food! Great spot!
