Main Street Restaurant

Busy place. Decor is stuck in the 80's. Had the Hot Beef. Taste was so so. The sandwich came with a giant helping of green beans. It looked like it may have been yesterday's beans mixed with a new can for today. It was a definite turn off. Rest of the family had breakfast. They said it was okay, The service was good.

Food was bland. Was disappointed in the sad looking Monte Cristo. Everything from the kids menu options (overcooked corn dogs) to the desert was a let down. Real bummer of an experience. And of course at the end "cash only".

The Main Street Restaurant on Washington Avenue in Detroit Lakes mn is absolutely amazing. The service and the meal was terrific. Our waitress had the kitchen staff did a fantastic job. I highly recommend stopping for breakfast or lunch as they close at 4pm.

Down home cooking, super friendly staff, remodeled with in last year.

Eaten here many times. A consistently average but good standard Midwestern breakfast. Eggs... bacon... Obviously a favorite of the locals. I usually get the eggs benedict. Cash only!! No credit cards.

Fabulous diner in the heart of downtown. Food and coffee are always hot and good. Staff is welcoming and attentive. It is cash only, but remember that saves them 5% and keep prices affordable.

Was a horrible experience. Brought my mom who was visiting from out of town the menu on there website shows an extensive range of different foods we then realize after going in and then checking the menu against their website that it is for a restaurant in California. Our server had the worst attitude ever. On top of the fact the other server working was complaining in front of me while I was paying for my bill about another table and how it had taken away her niceness. Our food was mediocre at best The cordon bleu sandwich had remnants of egg from somebody else's meal on it nobody had our table had eggs. The steak sandwich we received had soggy bread completely soggy as to the fact that there was no bread left. The Monte Cristo we received was essentially just a grilled cheese sandwich. And my side salad that the menu listed as $2 was over $5 for shredded lettuce 1/4 of a poorly diced tomato and a heap of cheese on top of it. Will not be coming back and will not recommend to anyone.

Noisy busy good cooking at reasonable prices. Great service. A mainstay on our main thoroughfare.
But it's not the place you can easily have a group of people chat.

Mediocre food, mediocre staff. Beware that they don’t take cards (but of course it doesn’t say that anywhere and the waitstaff doesn’t tell you ahead of time). Had a good time in Detroit Lakes, but this place makes the town look bad.

Classic small town diner. No flexibility on the menu but good food and quick.
