Recommendations for lunch in Worcester needed.
Thai Island in Holden has very good Thai food.
What is the best diner in Worcester Ma.
I like Miss Worcester and Boulevard on Shrewsbury Street. Lou Roc's is good too.
Suggestions for dinner in Hampton NH or Salisbury Ma area
It has been about a year since I went to Ceals. It was just terrible. Packaged slimy turkey in the sub , the clams were TERRIBLE (I like Cooke's and The Clam Box if that helps). My klds wouldn't even eat the food, I could barely eat it. I hated the place and was really pissed I had spent money on the gruel they shoved out the window. My daughter had a burger to replace the turkey and that was terrible too. ANd the woam in charge argued with me about how slimy the turkey was. Just a total disaster. I'm sick thinking about it a year later...

Fried Clams on Cape Cod
Yeah, I live in Holden and used to live on the Cape, I'm a huge fan of Cookes clams, Vals is nice, but I had never even seen the clams on the menu. That being said, everything I have ever had there has been pretty good.....
5 @ 10 Diner in Worcester
Mediocre at best. Not a good value. If it is breakfast you need try Jan's in Greendale or Gold Star Blvd diner.
Cape Cod
Cooke's in Hyannis and Mashpee is #1 for clams by far. As good as the clam box in Ipswich. They have great chowder too and they are always #1 in the Clam polls the magazines and newspapers do.
Worcester recommendations...
I second the Boynton, but I think the best value in Worcester is Biaggio's on Park Ave, great food, friendly service and pretty cheap. Like 10 bucks for chicken parm and 15 for a VERY nice filet.
Gardner Ale House
I think the food is very good at the Ale House, I eat there frequently, never reallly a bad experience. Particularly if you consider what is around it in Gardner. Burgers are very good and always cooked correctly. I like the thai wrap in particular but other wraps are good too. Salads are good even if they don't have iceberg lettuce.
Need recs for 75th Birthday Dinner near Dennis (Cape Cod)
Cooke's in Hyannis has the best fried seafood, clams in particular. Cookes is not a glamorous place though. Yarmouth House used to be excellent but I haven't been there in a few years since I moved off cape. My wife says Chapin's in Dennis is excellent.
Cape reco's needed
Best Seafood and fried clams in particular, Cooke's in Hyannis. My wife said Chapin's was excellent, Gina's was OK but I thought overpriced and just OK. Chicken Parm 20 bucks. I wasn't particularly impressed.
Best Burger in Worcester?
It is where Eddy's Pub used to be, not Barber's. My dad says Barber's has the best burgers around in Sterling. Bennies at the summit, Finders and Biagios all have very good burgers, all very reasonably priced too.
Any reviews of the new restaurants in Worcester?
WW's has become more consistent on their cooking, they generally come how you ask now. I think the place is a good value, great handcut fries. They could do a better job in the ordering dept, it is too much for one person, but we don't usually go there when it is busy.
The FDA doesn't tell anyone how to cook their burgers. Some states have laws, most don't. MA doesn't, and don't let anyone tell you it does. The places that choose not to serve you your burgers how you want them are doing it because they are afraid of lawsuits. One guy once in TX over a decade ago died from a bad Jack in the Box burger. It was a food handling and storage issue, and I think that Jack in the Box wasn't cooking stuff rare. Biaggios also has good burgers and will cook how you want, so will Finders and Bennies, all good choices for the un chain liking people
Any reviews of the new restaurants in Worcester?
I think a bad location was more of the reason for Legal not working out. No parking, not much foot traffic, hidden behind the centrum, etc.. I don't think the Sole had much to do with it. I've always had good experiences at the Sole but my wife doesn't like it for some reason. I'd just as soon go to the Boynton across the street though..
Any reviews of the new restaurants in Worcester?
I second the Boynton...Great place, great beer selection,. Try the Wachusett products
Foodies invade Worcester County, need help!
I like Biaggo's on Park Ave for Italian, their garlic dip sauce is the second best free thing in the world. Prices are extremely reasonable. Bennies at the Summit WB and Mountain St has great cheap food, and Finders Pub in West Boylston does the decent food at excellent prices very well. The downside is pretty much every night it is difficult to get a seat. Ciao Bella on West Boylston St in Worcester is very good also. Anthony's is gone. The Brew pub is OK value wise but the food isn't spectacular. Min's Wok on WB Street has very good Chinese take out, Nancy Chang has good upscale Chinese food.
Where do i find...
Jae's on Columbus has been my favorite..Been a while since I've been there though.
The Gardner Ale House....GOOD FOOD? GOOD BEER?
Good beer, good food, great burgers, great help. Need iceberg lettuce and a mug for Dave though.
Fried Clams?
In Hyannis, go to Cooke's, there are no better clams on the cape. They are up there with the Clam Box in Ipswich.

Ceals sucks, avoid it like the plague..
Best Fried Clams - New Haven and Boston
Ceals is disgusting. Clam Box and Cooke's in Hyannis and Mashpee are great
providence to dennis
For fried clams, there is no other place besides Cooke's on route 132, exit 6 off 6, in Hyannis. Make the 5 minute detour, you will be glad you did. I live a mile or two from it for many years, and have had lots of cape clams. Nobody compares. My wife likes the Kreme & Cone in Dennis too.
Name your favorite burger joint!
I am generally not a fan of chains, but Fuddruckers hands down. I also like the burgers at the Gardner Ale House www.gardnerale.com and the beer is excellent too. Bennies in Worcester has good burgers for cheap money too.
Dinner between Cape Cod and Westchester
Lucianos in Wrentham if you are going that far, and you can and then hit the outlet mall too. Best restaurant in MA, I think Tom Brady's favorite place too
Fried Clams coming home from the Cape?
best clams on the cape are Cookes in Mashpee and Hyannis, there is no substitute..
