Great food, whether catfish or steaks, chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak, it’s all good!! I love their crawfish bread as an appetizer too! Family atmosphere!

We order from there about twice a week and it's excellent most of the time.

Quintessential small town dinner... It's exactly what you expect. Friendly staff, friendly locals, and good food.
So disappointed in Main Street Restaurant. We waited 10 minutes after being seated and no waitress came. Another table was seated after we’d been waiting that long and the waitress went right over and waited on them. I understand places being short handed but the hostess saw us getting up to leave and said nothing. We went to La Herradura in Oil City and service was great!

We decided to take a nice bike ride out into the country, and our cousin suggested this place for lunch. We were so pleased with the place! The food was real home cooking, and just like your mama or your favorite aunt would make! The cakes looked delicious, but we didn't order because we were so full from our scrumptious lunch and needed room to get back on our bikes! If you like to visit some off the beaten path, this little spot is just the place. What I have learned, you never know what you'll find until you look for something different!

Wife and I have eaten several times with friends and the food is very good, especially the chicken fried steak. FWIT, the meat is locally grown. It's a 40 plus minut drive for us but well worth it.

My dad and his friends have traveled from Shreveport to Gilliam for years to dine at Main Street Restaurant. When it came time to plan his 80th birthday celebration, my dad suggested we hold it there. Lisa, who helped organize the lunch, was very accommodating and explained the restaurant's guidelines, including restrictions on decorations like confetti and glitter. We gladly followed these rules, and we were delighted with our choice.The day before the celebration, we visited the restaurant to finalize details. Lisa introduced us to our servers, Alyssa and Josie. We arranged for water and appetizers to be ready upon our guests' arrival. On the day of the celebration, everything looked perfect with the tablecloths, balloons, and centerpieces. Despite a minor hiccup with a busted pipe in the kitchen and a slight delay in serving four meals, the servers handled everything smoothly.After the celebration, we left cake for the staff, generously tipped everyone, and gave Alyssa, Josie, and Lisa an additional gift. However, our joy turned to disappointment when we discovered a $150 Restaurant Rental Fee on the bill that was never mentioned beforehand. Tim, the owner, acknowledged that he told the server to add it to the bill and knew we had not been told about it. He told me that we dictated to his staff and put extra pressure on them, which we did not, so he added the fee. I even found out he was there that day and never came to our table to meet us and thank us for our business. He finally agreed to amend our bill and said the refund would be credited in a few days. To my disbelief, the Restaurant Rental Fee was only partially refunded. When I called again to say that only a partial amount was credited, he stated that he agreed to amend the bill, not totally refund the fee. This experience has disappointed us deeply, and NONE of us will ever return to Main Street Restaurant. What a sour ending to such a sweet day!

Yall need to apologize to the best employee that ever been at your establishment. She dedicated many years and she's the sweetest lady ever. I'm going to make sure she have the news crew there soon to tell her story.

This place popped up on Google Maps when I searched for a lunch spot while traveling down the interstate. We detoured maybe 10 miles and it was worth every mile! They were short staffed, but we weren't in a hurry so it didn't matter. The two waitresses busted their butts, were friendly and efficient, and the kitchen cranked everything out in no time. I had the Fish Basket, which came with fries, cole slaw and hushpuppies. My husband had the chicken strips and fries. Food was warm and delish, and we got a to-go box for a second meal. Highly recommend!!!
Parking: We were driving a motorhome towing a vehicle and parked across the street on a corner lot beside a truck pulling a trailer.
