Saturday April 9th - Boulevard Diner - Worcester MA

Third month of our diner adventures and we selected Boulevard Diner on Shrewsbury Street  in Worcester.

Just the three Diner Musketeers this month - Mo, Jill and Mat.

First a little history:

The Boulevard Diner is a historic diner at 155 Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was built by Worcester Lunch Car Company in 1936 as #730. It is a well preserved instance of a barrel-roof diner that the company made in significant numbers in the years before the Second World War, and the city's best-preserved 1930s diner. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Our Experience
No menus, you order off the boards as shown in the picture below.   Everyday options are listed on semi permanent displays while specials and new additions are taped up pieces of paper. Works for me.


Jill and and I ordered mushroom and spinach omelets and Mo ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich with a side of corn beef hash.   Hash is a requirement for every stop. 

 Sitting at the counter we could watch our breakfasts being prepared.


Based on various comments from the diner trio - I think we are probably in the B, B+ range for this diner.
  • Coffee was really good.
  • Home Fries were  good.
  • Omelets were very tasty but the canned mushrooms in them were definitely a drawback.
  • Mo's egg sandwich was good but the side order of hash didn't come close to a passing grade.
  • The real diner feel was an A plus - the look and feel at this diner is "same as it ever was"

As always we had a good time and we left feeling full.   Keeping the tradition here is picture of the diner queens in front of the Boulevard.
