Fantastic family owned restaurant. Lots of selections from Greek to pasta to burgers and steaks. The honey glazed salmon was delicious. Burger was 10 out of 10. Great onion rings. Angie was a fantastic representative for her family as the bartender and server. We will be back to try other dishes. Vegetables are fresh and locally sourced.

The only suggestion I have for this place is to find another place to eat. Two bites into my meal and I pushed it to the side, all the waitress had to say was “do you need a box ?”Yes I do, maybe my dog will eat it…..

Our server was so friendly and the staff was accommodating to us when we got there only 20 minutes before they closed. The portions were large and the food was great and came out quick. Would definitely recommend!

Honestly, our intent was to only drop by for a cocktail...Cocktail and beer were well prepared and presented quickly and pleasantly.Decided to share a nice slice of NY Style Cheesecake, too!Enjoyable short "Happy Hour" visit.That being said...As an out of town hospitality director, these comments:Place was neat and clean, but it seemed as though the venue had endured several concept changes and perhaps ownerships as well.Interior seemed to present an upscale, even potentially romantic vibe, but lighting was way too bright for that.Without much atmospheric adjustment, it could be a semi-elegant Italian, or perhaps, a Surf n Turf location.NOT BOTH.Also, keep burgers, sandwiches, and the great majority of your fried foods on the lunch menu, only.While pictures of menu items looked tasty, pick one. Don't be a "jack of all trades, master of none" establishment.I'd recommend sticking with a slightly expanded Surf n Turf themed dinner menu. There are good Greek and Italian restaurants in the downtown area.Drop those particular menu items.Speaking of location...The restaurant was at the far end of town. While not at all far from town, it was NOT within walking distance of the quaint downtown mainstreet style shopping.You need something to catch the eye and draw clientele into their cars to patronize your venue.Your signage and actual name is an address for Christ's sake! It gives you no indication of your concept. How does an "outsider" know what you are offering?!Exterior of the venue is good. Leave it alone, with the exception of adding a bit more privacy foliage to patio area perimeters.I wish I had planned the opportunity to enjoy an actual meal at your restaurant.Professionally speaking, I see a good deal of profitable potential for you in your restaurant.Please take my review as "advice", not "criticism".

The food was good. Salmon could have had a little more honey glazed sauce, but it all tasted good. The Long Island Ice Tea could have been a little stronger but was still good.

There were 18 of us this evening. The service was great. Our food timely coming out of the kitchen. Love this place.

First time here and we were really impressed. It’s so close to our home, so this will now be one of our go to spots. Food, service, and prices were great.

Amazing atmosphere. 701 Main Restaurant is one of the best restaurant in downtown Waxhaw NC. the food is delicious and always come out on time and hot. I go to 701 Main Restaurant almost once a week. Please come to 701 Main Restaurant and enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere. The cooks put love in each dish.
Parking: there is always plenty of parking

It's like a cheap diner charging decent steak restaurant prices. Drinks were bad, steaks were poorly seasoned and/or over-cooked, and everything else was bland. Even the ceasar salad with the store-bought croutons tasted sour. The two rolls we received were hard as rocks. We didn't even get drinks we asked for with our meal (and were charged for) until after we requested the check. The waitress saw our full plates when we asked for the check and didn't even ask how the food was. I'm easy to please - have good food ~or~ good drinks ~or~ pricing that matches what you're serving, and this place didn't hit on any of it.

Great food and service. We had to ask for a box, the check and leave because the girl who cleans the tables had on WAY TOO MUCH perfume. My wife could barely breathe. We have been here several times before without issue but we wont be back for a while if at all. I honestly hope the owner/management reads these reviews and rectifies this. We really enjoyed eating here but we cannot eat when it smells like the perfume section at the department store. I hope others read this and stop drowning themselves in perfume. It is very offensive to others with allergies.
Way over priced. The green beans were terrible. I had the rib eye and scampi. The shrimp is about the worst I have ever tasted. The service was good but the food was awful.

Service was very slow, waitress was sick. Food didn't meat expectation, portions were meager. Meatloaf wasn't very good. They were out of beef tips. The prices of everything are up 2 dollars more then what's posted on the websites. No one came to pick up our payment, no water refills.

Great meals!!! Wife had Broiled Flounder which was great. Nice big portion, fresh and flavor was excellent. I had a Cheeseburger that was so good (flame broiled) that I didn’t even use the ketchup and mustard that I had there ready to use.Our waitress Jenna was fantastic too!Highly recommended.

My grilled chicken and mashed potatoes were very good. I also had a side of mixed vegetables, but I'm not a big veggies fan. I was there for a birthday party, so I had a limited selection. I will return and update my review.
