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.

Best food in the Indian land and waxhaw area. I've lived down here for over a year and this is the best service and food it's always hot and tasty. The baked spaghetti is delicious! Relaxing ambience here, also.

Five of us had dinner here. The service was very good. Unfortunately the pork chops, burgers, souvlaki, and spanakopita were just ok, 2-3 stars. The only dish we'd come back for is the saganaki appetizer.

Last week our Choral Society had a dinner at 701 Main for 80 people. We worked with Maria, the owners' daughter, who could not have been nicer. We offered our members a choice of salmon, chicken marsala with pasta, or shrimp skewers. All of the food came out perfectly prepared, hot, and delicious. Maria was there the entire time to make sure all went smoothly and the servers could not have been friendlier or more efficient.All in all, we could not have been happier and would without question use them again. BTW, they also are a great place to dine with less than 80 people. We've had many very nice dinners there with friends.

We enjoyed a "private party" event at 701 Main for a group of 80. The food was delicious and the service was great. We worked with Maria to design a special limited choice menu. The salmon with honey glaze, shrimp skewers, and chicken marsala were really good. The food came out in a timely manner. Everyone was pleased. It was a pleasure working with Maria. The wait staff, Chanel, Angie, Tristan, and Ryan were attentive and cheerful. Tom and Georgia oversee a really well-run family business. We'll go back...often!701 Main is the perfect place for a group function. The private room is a rare asset these days, especially for a large group.Joe S.
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.

701 Main in Waxhaw, North Carolina is to me a wonderful, wonderful restaurant. I generally will eat there about three times a month and have never ever had bad food. The service has always been great and you are served in a timely manner with very friendly staff. The owner of the restaurant comes via our table sometimes to make sure that everything is right. A great hometown restaurant that has a very very good menu. For those of you that would like to have a drink with your meal they have a full bar. Because you have a.

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.

Disappointing all around. From fluorescent lights to poor service and mediocre food. I had high hopes for this place but it was not what I was expecting.
