Love their food. Great burgers and salads. I wish they had a little better attention to detail. Every time I go there they forget something. This time I got takeout Caesar salad, my favorite there, and I had this gut feeling to untie the Togo back and check to be sure it had everything. I didn’t. Got home and no Caesar dressing. Last time no red onions. Overall, great food though!

Beers were warm and had food floating in them. Switched to a bud light bottle. When I asked for another one she brought me another warm tap pour instead of the bud light bottle. When I got the check I was charged for two tap beers I did not drink and sent back. Forgot my daughter’s side and when we brought it up she said we don’t have it anymore. Burger was ordered medium rare and came out well done. 4 dollar up charge to sub a side salad instead of having chips and wasn’t told until bill came out and was not marked anywhere on the menu. Staff just sits around at the bar. The place was completely empty and still somehow got terrible service and terrible time on food. Do not waste your time and money coming here. Table tents also advertised fall drinks in the end of March

Great food! Definitely try the Hugo burger or loaded brisket wedges!

Excellent service, only two girls working on a Saturday night but they know how to Handel themselves. Food was good, brisket and Mac and cheese is HUGE. Onion ring stack was just OK.

Place is very tight to begin not a lot room between tables. Only one or two people serving/waiting/bartending. And the burgers were, all I can say is terrible.

My wife and I went for dinner tonight specifically for the brisket Mac and cheese. We left before it ever came out because after 45 minutes our one shared item still hadn’t come. It was not busy, there was one other patron there. The waitress was AWESOME she was sweet and apologetic, but unfortunately front of house can’t fix back of house :/.

We went here for my birthday (I always choose a place based on their appetizers) and I’m SO glad we did! All of the appetizers we got (brussels sprouts, pretzel, and brisket wedges) was AMAZING and my entree (brisket mac and cheese) was some of the best mac I’ve ever had! Also the prices are incredibly reasonable for BIG portions! I didn’t get our waitress’ name but she was great as well! We can’t wait until we move closer now! :)

Parking: There’s some diagnonal street parking (w/ maximum times between 30 mins and 1 hour) and there was a church parking lot across the street (fair warning it is up a hill w/ stairs!)

We usually LOVE coming to the Main Course, and probably come at least biweekly. Tonight, however, was a disaster. A wrong sandwich was originally rung in for my husband, which the waitress didn’t catch until it had already been made. She then allegedly rung in the correct order for my husband but what ended up coming out of the kitchen was another sandwich that he did not order (and, in fact, wasn’t a sandwich that’s even on the menu?). We informed the waitress of the error and she again allegedly asked the kitchen to make the correct sandwich, and then it took the kitchen an additional 30+ minutes to finally make and bring out the new sandwich and…drum roll please…THE SANDWICH BROUGHT OUT WAS STILL NOT THE SANDWICH MY HUSBAND HAD ORDERED. At that point, we left.

I understand that mistakes happen (and our bill was comped for the errors) but this was a deeply disappointing and honestly ridiculous experience. If the waitress didn’t remember my husband’s order, that’s totally fine, but the solution to that was to ask him to remind her what he ordered, not bring out 3 different sandwiches, none of which were what he’d ordered.

Suffice to say, we’ll be taking a break from the Main Course for a bit.

Went her on the recommendation from a local and was not disappointed! Best food my entire trip to Connecticut. I got the Caribbean chicken and it was amazing. Big portion with actually spicy chicken. And so reasonably priced! Also was there for happy hour and got the $4 wine and they gave such big pours! I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks!!

Went last night for the first time and had the smoked brisket mac & cheese. It was hands down one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Huge portion so I get to enjoy it leftovers again today. My son had a burger and ate every last bite and loved the potato wedges. Great atmosphere with friendly staff. Can’t wait to go back and try more options!

Usually when I come here I have a hamburger which is good. This time I had the steak which I think was very good. It was tender and juicy and cooked as I had asked. The price was reasonable too.

Okay. I love food. I've had many a slider. But the but I got the slider flight and they were the smallest sliders I've ever had I think I've seen toy burgers bigger than this. For the third slider the pork still tasted like barnyard and was so dry. I think I've given my dog moister pork treats. For the money ? better off going to Wendy's. I hate that talk bad everything else was great but this for 15.00 was a waste of hard earned money
