Thank you Joe for being our server on Saturday Sep. 6th. You were so attentive and patient with our family. Thanks for your above and beyond service despite the very busy Saturday midday brunch rush.

2.50 for sprinkle of Parmesan on a mediocre ravioli and $7 for a crust of bread we could barely tear apart. Really?

We always enjoy our time at Main Street Kitchen. They had a live DJ this past weekend and the atmosphere was very fun. Food was great as well. I love the Persian breakfast!

This is so overdo but the server James is terrible and I watched him bully a beautiful young mixed girl, light skin curly hair and she was very sweet and attentive, clearly observant young woman, yet he treated her so poorly it was OBVIOUS. Then I witnessed him give extra special treatment to a young white woman with blonde hair. Very odd. I’ll never forget it. I hope he is not in hospitality anymore, nor doing anything involving care with other humans for that matter. Yuck. Such a shame because it was clear as day he was gay. Clearly not an ally. Ew.

Seated by a very young lady who couldn’t stop and take 10 seconds to answer two very basic questions about their menu as first-time customers. Rather we were told to wait for our server( far nicer) who arrived 10 min later as we got up to leave for a different restaurant. Customer service training is needed for those who meet and seat the front of the house

We were a group of seven (four adults and three kids) who came in on a Sunday afternoon for what we hoped would be a relaxing late brunch. Instead, we were hit with one of the most disappointing and overpriced dining experiences we’ve had in a long time.
Let’s start with the bizarre mimosa policy: you can’t order one bottomless mimosa unless the entire table does. That’s $39 per person – even if some people don’t drink (like me). What kind of ridiculous rule is that? It’s a clear money grab and completely tone-deaf to the variety of guests a restaurant might host.
Then came the food. While it came out quickly, the portions were embarrassingly small for the prices. I ordered a single filet mignon skewer — yes, just one skewer — for $30. It came with a little bread and some salad. That’s not a meal, that’s a rip-off. One of the kids ordered chicken strips with fries, and the fries were burnt. The presentation was sad, and frankly, I wish I had taken pictures to show how bad it really was.
The final insult? The check came to $192 for four dishes and three drinks. That kind of pricing might be acceptable at a high-end steakhouse with quality food and great service — not here. This was a joke.
To top it off, at 3:10 PM the staff started pressuring us to leave because a band was playing at 3:30. When we politely asked to switch tables, they got visibly annoyed and made it clear they just wanted us gone.
In short: poor value, mediocre food, strange policies, and terrible customer service. Save your money and avoid Main Street Kitchen and Restaurant. There are plenty of better options out there.

My friend and I walked past today and saw that it was lively and the customers looked happy. We decided to have a late lunch here and we were so glad we did. The owner came around to talk to the customers. He was so friendly and even comped us fried green tomatoes. I ordered the eggplant pizza, my friend ordered the fish tacos, and our kids ordered pasta and chicken strips. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Even the kids chicken strips were seasoned well and amazing. We loved everything and will be back!

Always amazing. Love the farm to table menu. The chef/owner, Arash is passionate about thoughtfully crafted, fresh and flavorful dishes. He also loves his restaurant, patrons and the community and it shows as he is always talking warmly people in the restaurant in between doing every odd job to keep the restaurant running smoothly.

The food and atmosphere were great! I couldn’t stop raving about the Mary’s Fried Chicken and French Toast Benedict. It was a perfect blend of spicy, savory, and sweet. Definitely a 10/10; can’t wait to go back to enjoy another!
