Miss Worcester is one of the last working diners built by the Worcester Lunch Car Company, the local manufacturer that produced the prefab rail-car-style diners that defined the American diner aesthetic for half the 20th century. Built in 1948 as car #812, it still serves classic short-order breakfasts and lunches across the street from where it was made.
The food is straight-down-the-line diner — eggs, hash, pancakes, burgers, hot turkey sandwiches. Cash only, narrow counter, vinyl stools. Open early; closes after lunch.
