I had the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, and they were tasty. The staff is amazing and such an efficient team. Orders came back perfect and they were attentive. We will be back read more

I'm baffled by the number of positive reviews for this place. We had three very big misses with our order. In short, avoid this icky spot! The machine you sign in at noted that it was a wait of 15-25 minutes, but it was close to an hour until we were seated, and it took nearly as long until we were served. The coffee mugs put down on the table were dirty. These points should have been our signal to leave, but we stayed. Bad move. In my whole life I have *never* seen my parents not finish their breakfasts, but all three of us left our plates largely uneaten. My dad took about two bites of his Benedict and said he couldn't stomach anymore, that it was the worst one he had ever had. We asked for well-done fries but they were served barely warm at all. My mom had to send her pancakes back because they were served cold. My huevos rancheros was super bland and barely warm, as well, which made it even yuckier. I only took a few small bites and left the majority of it because it just didn't taste good. Honestly, it was a joke to have a bill brought to us without the waitress even inquiring if there was an issue since each of our plates were virtually untouched. When I was a server, I'd have asked if there was a problem and offered to replace the items if they weren't satisfactory. The meal came to over $70, which was disappointing for such a seriously inferior dining experience. I know negative reviews like this have an impact on small businesses and I don't like to write them, but this was a way below average dining experience that you should avoid. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for excellent food and friendly service in exchange for your hard-earned $. ‍ (Other places in the valley I'd suggest instead: Joe's Cafe, Brent's Deli, Cici's Cafe, The Little Door. Can't go wrong at any of these spots!) read more

Great service, delicious food & nice atmosphere. First time here, ordered the omelet and was surprised at how wonderful it was. The grits are buttery heaven. Will be back. read more

I found Main Street Kitchen as a halfway meeting point between myself and a friend. It's small but very cute. We met on a Sunday around 10:30 and there was a wait but quick turn over. The service was fast and food was delicious; good sized portions too. My son's kid's breakfast plate was a great size! Definitely would return. read more

This cafe is EVERYTHING. Took my boyfriend here for a little birthday brunch and I am walking away with a new favorite breakfast place. The churro French toast is officially my favorite French toast I've EVER had! Amazing! The ambience is so cozy and welcoming! Love all of the photos and quotes framed on the wall! And all of the staff were very sweet and accommodating! Plus it's family owned which I love! Definitely come here if you're looking for an amazing brunch place! read more

I met my friends that came into town from Texas and chose this place from Yelp as they were closer in that area. It was a great choice and everyone seemed happy with their food and the service was great. We made a reservation through the Yelp app and it sure made it easy! I would recommend this place! read more

It's a small place and I didn't expect much going into it. The server was nice and they had a lot of good options but I went with the avocado toast with a side of breakfast potatos. The avocado toast was good but the breakfast potatos... wow! They were so good. It's been a while since I visited but I still dream of those potatos. read more

This place is racist. Upon arrival by myself and I'm pregnant so I'm super hungry and it's early am. i had to ask the sever for orange juice and immediately told him my order. After minutes sitting there one couple walks in and then another walks in shortly after keep in mind I already gave them my order. So about 15 minutes go by and the first couple received their order than the next couple. I only ordered pancakes so i couldn't understand what is going on. I asked them and the owner says you want the food or not. No apologies or regard that two couple came in after me and received their food and I didn't get anything. I said it seems your racist he said o well. Wow They were extremely nasty with their attitude. Stay away if you're Black!! read more

Great experience with the waitress and food the two times prior. Unfortunately on this third occasion, the chef was a rude, disrespectful, full of rage individual. Our son, 11 years old, requested a breakfast burrito without the spicy salsa. In the previous times, no issues were caused by that request. This time around, the chef was yelling at the waitress, 'he was not making any changes/substitution from what's on the menu.' Mind you, no one arrived after me and no one was pending their food, but it took them over 30 minutes after placing the order to come at me with this. That white man needs training on how to speak to those around him. Don't belittle the waitress, she's just the messenger. In regard to your response: No one is asking for any discounts. We can afford to pay full price for our meals. It's clear you disregarded the big picture. Be kind to everyone! Your response is evidence that you're full of rage. read more

I love this place, been coming here for years and will continue to do so in the future.. The food is amazing, along with the service.. Servers are real nice and attentive, never disappointed with my cafecito refills.. This place has a very chill ambiance to it, very low key spot.. I will definitely recommend a try, you can thank me later.. read more

You probably wouldn't notice the place walking by, and it is intended to be a breakfast and lunch spot, so if you're walking by after 3pm, you're gonna miss it anyway. This place properly represents a solid breakfast spot, with an obvious southern twist. The artwork is eclectic, pro-femme with lots of rich African American history and famous quotes by well know women rights activists. The floor is open, clean and comfortable. We were well greeted, and the staff was very nice. I enjoyed the touch of the family coffee mugs, everyone of them different and from a different era. The food was just right. I had the fried chicken and biscuit breakfast, but was informed at that time they were out of fried chicken. I requested a substitution of the country fried steak and we were off to the races. The biscuits were obviously homemade, soft with a little bite. The waffle fries, beautifully crispy, and the maple gravy was just right. A little seasoning adjustment on the country fried steak and it would have been a perfect dish. I'll definitely return, there's more for me to try here. read more

Went on a Sunday morning around 11. It was busy and I was ready to wait for a table for our group of six. The hostess was able to seat us right away, a nice surprise. We ordered a signature breakfast, it comes with two eggs, choice of one side (potatoes, fruit, and more), bread (with a bagel being a choice), then a meat choice. Everything was good. It was a small amount of potatoes, would of liked more. The bagel was an everything bagel, not my favorite but don't know if I could of had a choice of bagels. The other order was huevos rancheros. This was the first time I have seen it served in a bowl. There were to nicely poached eggs on top of black beans, potatoes and salsa. The dish was on the spicy side and the heat continued to build as it was eaten. Not bad overall but different. The place is casual and could be on the noisy side if it is busy. Would come back again. read more

My buddies and I completed a morning hike up to widows bench (I think that's what it's called) in O'melveny park. On our way back we looked up a breakfast spot since we are not familiar with the area. Main kitchen cafe did not disappoint! The breakfast food hit the spot. I ordered the chicken biscuit sliders and enjoyed every bite - I'm going straight for the biscuits and gravy next time. Ate outside on the side walk and the sun felt so nice as we enjoyed our coffee like a couple of retired old men on their porch just enjoying the morning. (Coffee is good btw) The mismatched mugs that looked somewhat vintage gave breakfast a more "at-home" feel Our server was attentive and personable which added to the positive experience . I cannot remember her name but she was there on a Saturday morning. read more

Love this place and used to come all the time pre-covid. Haven't been there since but I know they always have business! All their food choices are delicious and their coffee is yum! I always ends up inevitably choosing their power breakfast bowl with steak because I just can't get over the amazing flavor but try all their items to be the judge! It's really cute inside too! I love the decorations and their plates/cups are all either donated or gifted. It's an awesome atmosphere with delicious quality food! The ONLY critiques I have are that there is only one bathroom for name and female so you tend to wait a while. The second critique is that on really busy days, the wait time to get served or even for the bill to arrive can be upwards of 30 minutes! It's a really long time to wait to even start eating or when you just want to leave. I gave in and just went to the front desk to pay for it myself. Other than that, I have no complaints! They have many choices to choose from, staff is always super nice, portions are really big, and prices reasonable. Can't wait to go back when they fully open up! read more

Good menu Great food Great service from a young guy. Prices reflect quality. I had the omelette, the tiramisu french toast is awesome. Outdoor dinning is offered and brought my 2 lil doggies, the young man that served us brought a bowl with water for my lil ones..... Thnx read more

I'm only writing this review because it's been 20 minutes since we ordered (the waiter jUst came by to tell us it'll come out soon) and we are absolutely enamored with how random and ugly all the wall decor is!! Nothing matches, even the chAirs don't match.. but not in an eclectic way.. only one table and set of chairs don't match.. what's the point? Anyways.. Still haven't gotten our food. I'll have to follow up later read more

OMG, truthfully, the biscuits need some work but the tiramisu French toast alone is so amazing I still gotta give 5 stars. You need that in your life! Also, the staff was SO great! Polite, friendly, attentive (outside seating for social distance). This is a great place and oh yeah, the owner was as sweet as pie. And grab a cookie before you leave...will NOT let you down! read more

The food is really good. My family and I love the quality and taste. The rub: we're a family with kids, they had hip hop playing but the explicit version. I asked the cook if we could just clean up the music and he responded "this is a black owned business. " Great, our family wants to support you guys, that's why we're here. But, as customers why do we have to listen to explicit music. I'm down with hip hop and rap, but when my kids are there and we're trying to have breakfast together as a family I don't want to hear the explicit music. As a business owner myself I'm surprised by his actions. It's one thing if the entire place was filled with 20 something's who just finished clubbing and they're there eating. It's a whole other thing with families there trying to have breakfast together. When we were there, there was nobody except one other customer, and he didn't look like he just finished clubbing. We will never go back here and there and patronize this business again. read more

The waitress who helped me was very nice. She came by numerous times to make sure everything was okay. I do have to admit it took about 30 minutes for my food to arrive. They were a bit busy, so I didn't mind. The food however was alright. I got the breakfast plate. The potatoes were a bit salty for my taste. The eggs were a bit flavorless, but nothing a bit of hot sauce can't fix. Overall decent place. read more

This place has amazing food! By far the best breakfast spot in town. The workers are very friendly as well, although we had one worker try and sell us his handmade jewelry at point, but he didn't pressure us to buy anything so that was good. read more

We waited in line but didn't take long, less than 5 mins. Sat inside coz it was past 11 and the sun was facing the restaurant. Thought parking will be a problem, but I was able to park right away. Just past the restaurant on right side is a parking lot. Our server was fantastic, very attentive to our needs. I chose the January Benedict special; it was delicious and filling. One star off because our table is by the bay window and it got hot at some point. The ceiling was low and the recessed lighting added more heat. Other than that, the ambiance was cozy. read more

Do not recommend! Food is mediocre. Breakfast combo looks pretty but basically everything you can make at home( and easy). Fruit is tasteless. The food is over-price. Service is average, waited a little bit long to be served or paid. Overall, not a special or awesome experience. read more

In addition: Thank you for letting me and others know that only certain groups of people matter to your business. Thank you for letting me know that the folks at the table beside me are more important to you because they are on Instagram, have over 3 million followers and "come in daily". I would have certainly appreciated an apology for our experience and would think that you would have wanted to be more sensitive with your choice of words when responding to a customer who didn't have the most greatest experience. Had you handled that better, perhaps, I would have been inclined to visit again and become a more frequent patron. Believe it or not, when I walked out that day I had not thought to write your business off as a "never returning there again!". It was your email that did it. Which by the way, I found it interesting that you chose to message me directly instead of replying on yelp to my review - it is certainly telling that you knew exactly what you were writing. I guess you thought only I would receive it. :-) read more

5 stars JUST for hearing Rufus with Chaka Kahn's Tell Me Sumthin' Good. Standard breakfast offerings, sufficiently done. It's the service that will keep is coming back. Maya (spelling?‍) was just great, answering all of our questions & keeping us happy. I always appreciate a good cup of coffee & theirs is. I got a biscuit on the side because it was our 1st time there. It was a great biscuit, although they didn't have any jellies or jams on the table. The bacon & mushroom scramble with potatoes was as expected. My husband really liked the buttermilk pancakes and they were cooked well but I found them a little TOO sour & "buttermilky". I'll stick with the biscuits which satisfied my craving for carbs with butter & sweet (I'll ask for jam next time). read more

1st time, clean place, nice staff. I had the Chilaquiles and it had a lot of black beans, Sour cream, Sauce, comes with eggs your way, it's Chips all right!! Not what I expected, but if you love chips go for this dish. I paid extra for chorizo and they added very little of it... My son Had a burrito and the pork ham they use is that thick ham very chewy. read more

I wish I could leave a zero. The waiter and waitress were super nice but the owner who is also the cook, is such an awful human being. He's extremely rude. Chicken fried steak was awful. Blueberry ricotta pancakes were also terrible and my friend got food poising from her dish. They charge way too much for what we are getting. Never coming back! read more

My partner and I are always looking for great brunch spots in The Valley. We passed by this area one day and decided that today we would try it out. We arrived around 9:30 am on a Saturday. There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant. The seating inside is very small and they have a small outside seating area in front of their restaurant. We sat inside, my partner ordered the Brunch burger and I ordered the Blackstone Benedict. The staff was friendly but the food was lower quality. My partners burger had a large amount of thousand islands dressing that tasted weird, the onions were raw and roughly chopped into small pieces and put on the burger; this caused the burger to be very difficult and messy to eat in a bad way. The Blackstone Benedict had bacon and tomatoes served on top of a brioche hamburger bun which I was not a fan of, I would have enjoyed it on a traditional English muffin. Both of our dishes came with waffle cut fries and you could taste that the oil they were using to fry did not taste fresh/ tasted off. I also did not enjoy the mugs we were given, they felt like I was drinking out of their personal mugs staff brought from home. Overall, the menu was way overpriced compared to the quality of food, taste of food, and the drink and dishes we were served on felt like I was eating at a strangers house. A great alternative is Joes Cafe which is just down the road. read more

This place is amazing! I love the atmosphere, it has a nice setting and the food is delicious. Some cons could be the parking situation since it has a small lot in the back and in the side. Street parking could be scary because of the high frequency of cars around Chatsworth. You can either sit outside (I wouldn't recommend with this heat) or inside :) It is kids friendly, the personal was nice and a tip is to make a reservation through Yelp :) I called it "the hole in the wall from Granada Hills". read more
