Breakfast options include eggs, pancakes, corned beef hash (some of the best this writer has had, by the way), pancakes, and waffles. The menu at the Gold Star Restaurant includes all the standards you would expect at a family diner. But the inside almost has the feel of the fictional Monks Diner on Seinfeld, with its counter stools and comfy booths, its bustling overall feel, and its satisfying breakfasts and lunches. From the outside, it almost looks like one of the many superettes that can be found in Boston, Worcester, and other New England cities. The Gold Star Restaurant is housed in a rather nondescript building just east of Indian Lake and a few blocks away from the intersection of Routes 290 and 190. But the Gold Star Restaurant, which is located a short distance north of the downtown area, isn't simply another obscure place it is also a terrific little family diner that is well worth a stop, whether you are a local, a visitor, or are simply passing by the city on the Mass. The city of Worcester is one of the largest urban areas in New England, so when a restaurant within its borders is relatively little known (except among locals and those in the know), it is a given that the place is all but nonexistent to Boston residents.
