Absolutely awful experience. If I could give zero stars, I would without hesitation. My family and I came in hoping to enjoy a nice meal together, but what we got was nearly an hour and a half of waiting, oily, stomach-turning food, and service that made us feel completely invisible. To make things worse, not long after eating, all of our stomachs were burning—and after looking it up, we saw that multiple other reviews have mentioned getting E. coli from this place. That’s extremely concerning.
The host was cold and made snide comments, and the whole atmosphere felt unwelcoming from the start. Our waitress was kind, which we appreciated, but we were only checked on twice the entire time. It took 30 minutes just to get our drinks, and when the food finally came, it was so greasy we could barely eat half of it.
What truly broke my heart was seeing my mom teary-eyed and angered—she felt small and dismissed, like we weren’t supposed to be there. It was upsetting to witness her hold back tears in a place where we should’ve felt relaxed and cared for. Even when the owner walked over, noticing how long we had been sitting there uncomfortable and unhappy, she didn’t offer so much as a “sorry.” No acknowledgment, no effort to make things better—just more cold energy.
We left feeling sick, disappointed, and honestly a bit shaken. I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was deeply disheartening. Between the lack of empathy, the terrible service, and the fact that other guests have reported getting E. coli, I can’t say this loud enough: please be careful with this place.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant ever!!! MY FAMILY AND I COULD ONLY EAT HALF OF OUR FOOD AND OUR STOMACHS ARE BURNING. SEEN PEOPLE POST ABOUT GETTING ECOLI!!! BE CAREFUL!! My family and I waited an hour and then some to have our food come to us and it was oily and made us all sick to our stomachs. Also had very snide comments and rude host but kind waitress. Such a disappointment and felt very discriminated against. The owner even came up to us after she noticed how long we were waiting and didn't do anything to make it feel more welcoming or comfortable either. Overall it was just very upsetting and uncomfortable. It felt like we went to a restraunt to be given poor service and it made us feel small. Left my family and I just speechless and it was very disappointing. I am mindful of people having off days but this was awful, I would say as a note treat your waiters and overall staff to be more attentive to and to show more kindness and be more welcoming. We only got checked on twice. It took 30 mins for our drink to come in and an hour and a half for our food. Please be careful with this place

Buffalo wings appetizers r excellent. Creamy homemade buffalo sauce on 3 large boneless wings. Atmosphere is solid - like a nice pub but actually good food. Got the Prime Rib Sandwich which was EXCELLENT. Meat still medium rare, Au Jus good but not great, however all around sandwich was killer for ~$20.

My wife claims it's the best turkey club she ever had, and I had the best cooked pork chop, moist and tender, and the sauce was perfectly peppered, enough to spice my up my life even.
The food was absolutely fantastic! And so was the service! I highly recommend 320 Main!!

320 Main is a favorite of mine and my wife's. She worked there some years ago with the previous owners. 320 Main has stood the test of time. It's changed hands many times over the years yet maintained the same feel and ambiance. The menu is consistent with small tweaks to keep things interested. The bar has maintained high quality cocktails, including ones that were created there by previous employees. The Cablegram is one of my favorite cocktails. It was created here and was both my first ginger and rye whiskey cocktail. The buffalo tenders are one of the consistent dishes that's remained through a plethora of chefs. We love you 320!
