A Worcester restaurant is being credited for being the best hole-in-the-wall spot in Massachusetts.

Love Food compiled a nationwide list ranking the best hole-in-a-wall spots in every state, which included Miss Worcester Diner as the top choice for the Bay State.

"Legendary Miss Worcester has been going since 1948 and has an entire menu dedicated to French toast, with the crunchy option among customer favourites," Love Food wrote. "There’s also a menu of egg dishes and another focused on burgers. In fact, the dishes significantly outnumber the seats, with around a dozen perches at the counter and five booths for groups. Everything is delicious, and the fun, homely decor is a winner too."

Miss Worcester Diner was also credited as the "most charming roadside diner" in Massachusetts by Love Food.
