They recently have reworked the inside some and have a new candy station that is full of all kinds of seasonal goodies. When I worked down the street, I would often come for their cold brew coffee, fir an afternoon pick me up. They also serve some pretty amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches on New York bagels. Weekend hours are longer over the summer and early fall staying open until 10pm but as they hit October the hours shift to close by 9 o'clock on the weekends. They have cute ice cream cone seating tables as well as an old time soda bar. Definitely our families go-to ice cream splurge. I love that it's on Main Street with all the cute boutiques, shopping and local events.

For the past 6 months life has been a nightmare - luckily I took notes when I visited many places…read moreso when things died down I would be able to just type this out and pop in the pictures. I really liked this place. This brewery has a great vibe, is HUGE, good service, yummy food, tasty beer and considering it was a cold, icky night when we went - there was more people there than I would have thought. My smash melt was so good. Messy but a good type of messy. It was also a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. The shepherds pie was really runny. A spoon was definitely the utensil of choice but the flavor was spot on. I struggled to get up the stairs because of my knees (both are new) and it appears to be the only stairs so I had to wait for some servers to go up (& vice versa) but when we got up there it was very cool. Honestly, this place is huge. I cannot stress that enough. There was a big party next to us and I watched how they were waited on...because sometimes big parties can be a challenge. It appeared that no one waited a unreasonable time to get their refills. Even a spill was taken care of by staff swiftly. That is a good sign. However, our service was just good. It took a long time to get a beer and we never got out second one we just paid and left All that being said, I will be back.

Hundreds of Hops US Hop Passport Amazing Brewery Race Stop 30 - 1/18 for Missouri…read more We stopped here as our first stop on our Missouri Brewery Race, plotted intentionally for the eats... specifically all you can eat fried chicken day... not that I could eat a whole lot of it, but I love good fried chicken and that KFC at home isn't scratching that itch. Needless to say, I ordered the fried chicken, dark meat. The hubs got a maple syrup (flavored, turns out - definitely NOT maple syrup). The table behind us ordered directly after our order was put in and also ordered all you can eat fried chicken, dark meat. When i heard, "we're sold out of that", with my order not up yet, I thought we were in for potential problems. Now, at 845pm, I'd understand that but 15min after the "special" starts, with a half empty dining room... I'm gonna have some questions. For example: Why is there no chicken available at open on fried chicken day? Anywho, the plates come out & I'd guess the potatoes were from the last special... cold & crusty, topped with the thickest, most concentrated "gravy" I've ever seen. Both were inedible. The broccoli was cooler than it should have been served at but tasted good. The real star was definitely the fried chicken. It absolutely hit the spot - unfortunately, they were indeed sold out of dark meat & i ended up with a wing... sigh - thankfully, I got 1 thigh, my true love & although it was all you can eat (only way they sell it), 1 thigh is about all I can eat. Still, I could have skipped the sides all together for a 2nd thigh... The burger was "ok", nicely cooked, but maple flavor is not at all the same as real maple syrup tho & it definitely could be improved with real maple syrup. The beer was pretty tasty. We had 3 different ones & could have pulled a 4th had the timing worked out. Overall, a so-so experience. I'm not sure why, when I ordered, that I wasn't told that there wasn't enough chicken for a dark meat order. I would have asked if there was a thigh left & likely still ordered it when they said yes, but it would have been my choice then. They did stop selling the chicken special before we cashed out.

We were seated by a young man, in training named Aiden and he was pleasant and cheerful, gave us our menus and ordered our drinks. Awesome. Proudly serving Pepsi products, I must say that the post-mix is perfect (not too sweet and the right amount of carbonation - awesome.). Soon we were visited by our server, Destiny, who was very nice and upbeat. Awesome. I ordered the Gyro Burger ( monstrous burger with lettuce tomato, and onions topped with what the menu only called "Gyro Meat" (please say yee-roh). Well, let me confirm that it is indeed absolutely authentic schwarma! Some of the best I have ever had! With tzatziki sauce and feta cheese. AWESOME. A huge bowl of amazing fries on the side, and I spent 20 minutes in heaven. Many thanks to the afore mentioned front of the house ( special shout out to Gage as trainer/bussman) and somebody kiss the cook because I am taken! I HIGHLY recommend Main Street Cafe' and by the power vested in me by the St. Louis Elite Squad, I hereby award SIX STARS ******

We called ahead to let them know we were coming since we had 14 this trip and they don't take reservations. When we arrived we spoke to Jesse and let her know that there were 14 of us, it was already pretty busy and it's a pretty small space but she said she would make it work. We had arrived about a half hour earlier than everyone was meeting so we could secure seating and in the end, it all worked out! Jesse is a phenomenal asset to the restaurant! Not only did she figure out our seating, she was personable , upbeat, and on top of the whole room it seemed like. While waiting for the rest of our group we sat at the high-top tables and chatted with a couple of regulars. They gave us lots of good scoop on what to order and their recommendations were spot on. So friendly! We ordered wings, the Olive Juice Forever pizza, the BBQ chicken without onion, and a giant cinnamon roll for dessert. I loved the wings, good flavor, a good amount of sauce. We got them with ranch; it was good but very dill forward if you need to know. The Olive Juice Forever pizza was Olive Oil, mozzarella, kalamata olives, green olives, garlic, red onion, and a touch of sausage and pepperoni. I really enjoyed it, afraid it would be too salty =but it was perfect. The crust was puffy, charred perfectly, and had a good chewy bite. The giant cinnamon roll was giant! We would order it again, it was very good. I also had a beer; a Kona Big Wave or Mango Cart mixed with the Main and Mill draft. I and I really liked it. I am not a bike rider, but I do love pizza and this place was great from the service to the atmosphere to the food and drink.

The amount of bacon in the soup was plentiful and definitely not unwelcome. The sandwich was a great as well. The flavor was great, the meat was juicy, and the bagel was shockingly thick. I will say, the steak and sauce soaked into the bun pretty immediately and made it decently soggy, so I would eat that as quickly as you can if you don't care for that. I went on a Monday afternoon and it was pretty busy, but it wasn't loud at all. The booth was comfortable and I was there with my husband for a few hours and it was a really nice time. When I first got there, I had put in my order and then realized I left something important at home, so I went up to the workers and asked if they could hold off my order until I got back. They immediately said yes, and even remembered my order before I could tell them what it was when I came back. 10/10
