Smells like the old rug got into a fight with a cigarette , I’m sorry but we went in and turned back around after the smell and the ripped and dirty seats

My favorite Worcester diner! Skip the Miss Worcester and come here for fantastic food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. It recently changed ownership, and the new owner/chef is great. He also started recently baking his own sourdough and raisin bread and English muffins. You won't be disappointed with anything on the menu but special mention goes to the omelets and the Italian sausage.

No need to wait in line at other diners. The food and service are great. The servers were very friendly and the atmosphere was not rushed.

Excellent oldschool diner! The food and the staff were excellent!

We enjoyed our experience here. We all got pretty basic breakfast food and it was good and plentiful although pretty standard.

Great warm place.. Really fast service.. A nice place to share some nice brunch.

Been going to corner lunch for a literal decade- Jojo has almost always waited on me and I loved supporting a family business. I even remember Mrs. B, and if you’re from the neighborhood you do too. Jojo is doing a good job keeping the hospitality side of things running since her fathers well deserved retirement.The food side of things needs a lot of work. I noticed drastic quality differences in both food and preparation. The bread from the blt I ordered was greasy, over toasted to the point of being hard throughout, had two circles of tomato, little ripped up pieces of bacon, and one small smear of mayonnaise that didn’t even reach the edges of the bread. It also came out 10 minutes after my boyfriends food- meaning he was done by the time mine came out and the waitress was already anxious to flip the table- if I had been asked how my food was, I would have absolutely mentioned this, but was only asked if I wanted a box.I don’t normally review, but new owner seems less than gracious to accept actual criticism and needs to understand that he’s cooking on an open line and everyone can see and catch his vibe from where he is working.Sending love to Charlie, Jojo, and the members of their family who have passed on. Good luck to new dude, he has some seriously big shoes to fill if he wants business in the neighborhood that aren’t just holy cross students.Editing to add: my review was replied to in a very solid and respectful way. I am happy to give another chance to this place. I definitely know it’s difficult to time food when it’s not all coming off the same line!! There are always growing pains and this new owner seems not only aware of them, but ready to approach and fix. Awesome stuff and I wish him and the new crew the best. I think if you keep on with this attitude and desire to do better, you will become just as loved in this neighborhood as the previous owner.

The waitresses are very friendly, good food too!

40 mins wait for a steak and eggs….. Not again! We not even got greeted walking thru the door. 2 minutes later they say sit anywhere! ??‍♂️ steak is not what it used to be good luck….

Wait staff was great very friendly Iwent to Kenmore diner week before wait staff was awful rude will never go to Kenmore again but I'd go to corner lunch again
