Food is okay. Haven't been since switching to a vegan diet so I'm not sure about options. My service has been pretty bad both times, nothing special. read more

The service is friendly and efficient ~ everyone who works here wants you to have a great time, and if you need something, all you have to do is ask. The selection of food is solid. Good drink specials. Food quality is average. read more

Good location. Food OK, service spotty and management indifferent. I understand they have an 'unwritten rule' that the waitresses should be tipped 25% regardless of the quality of service-- Too many other places to spend one's time and $$. read more

The hostess was exceptionally condescending, I placed an order for take-out and arrived 45 minutes after I ordered and was greeted with "your order isn't even done." I asked if she knew how much longer my meal had and she replied "uh, no" and laughed at my question. I waited an extra 15 minutes after that before another employee approached me and asked if I had been helped yet. I told her I was waiting for a to-go order, so she went to the kitchen and brought it out to me immediately. The entire order was cold. read more

My friend and I come here often and the service is alright but what happened the last time we were here was beyond gross. We watched our appetizer accidentally being dropped off at the table next to us. They started to eat it then realized it was not what they ordered. I watched them bring it back and then when it was dropped off at our table one of the bites was steaming hot while the rest were cold. I confronted the waitress and said I know you dropped one in the fryer then brought us the appetizers that were touched all over by the other table. She did not deny it and the manager brought us a new batch and apologized saying that should of have never happened. They never even took the appetizer off the bill?! I am a server and would never even think about pulling something like that. That's horrible management and against health code. read more

friendly workers and average food but the manager Jamie was incredibly rude and unpleasant when dealing with our table. After she had left we had received multiple nasty looks from her direction. We will not be returning and taking our business elsewhere. read more

This is a pretty bad restaurant. Two visits ago, they overcooked my steak. The manager came out and made it right, so I thought it was safe to come back. The last visit came a plethora of mistakes. It took 30 minutes between the waitress giving us our menus and her taking our orders. Between that time, she was nary to be found. Mind you, our party was sitting right in the glory hole of the restaurant portion of the establishment. Our party wasn't even large. My niece ordered something that had french fries with it, but she didn't want the fries. Sho' 'nuff, the fries came with. They were freezing cold. Right off the plate. Why dish out something that is not desired, and if you do, why dish it out cold? Revenge is a dish best served cold...? My nephew and I ordered soup to be served before the main. Nope. His came with his meal. Mine didn't come. I had to remind waitress of my stupid little cup of soup that was to come before the meal. My meal was the "lake fish." Tasted like "rubber fish rolled in burnt corn meal." Bits of burnt bits, requiring small bites to be taken upon it. Most unpleasant. Disgustingly so. Then the manageress noticed our state of discontent. "What e'er is the matter?" she asked. We explained. Lo and behold, she made it right. Little waitress brought my stupid little cup of soup, "steak with vegetable." No steak--just bits of gristle. Fortunately, the gristle had been cooked through and through and was edible. No vegetable, apart from a slice of carrot. The best thing about stupid little cup of soup was that the stock was oil. Yes, little waitress didn't stir the soup before dishing it out. Have some suet, was her motto. Nay, do not go to this restaurant. Go there to get boozed up (their advertisements pride themselves on boozing up students), but don't eat their food. Ha, she still got an 11% tip. Should have been a few pennies in the bottom of a glass of water. read more

Food was just ok and the service was slow. We wondered if we were invisible for the first 10 minutes after we sat down. This was our second visit - the first included food being spilled on one of us. Won't be back. read more

I'll tell you one thing right up front. If you care to get semi cold beer, horrible chili and a soggy plate of nachos then I suppose this is your place to go. It took forever to get the food, the server was awesome, and when we had a couple questions and concerns about the food. The manager refused to come out and talk to us. Instead he sent us more of the same terrible mess we just had. atmosphere and our server were great. Get someone who gives a damn to supervise the food going out. As a chef, I NEVER send food I wouldn't eat myself! read more

Decent food. I love the Hornet wrap. Decent drink specials. Service tends to be hit or miss which is the cause for the 3 star rating.

Had this place one time and one time only. The food was alright not quite sure what is was that I got but everyone was okay with what they ordered the portions were small for what you payed and the waitress never came to our table to ask how the food was or if we needed anything else nothing I don't recommend this place. read more

This is my second year at grand valley state and last year we came here frequently and never had any problems. However today my fiancé and I came in and got a fiesta salad. It took about 20 minutes for the fiesta salad to come out and it was cold, as well as the chicken was hard. Normally I would let that go, as I try to not be a problem customer. However, as we were eating we saw a waitress drop a used napkin from a table onto the ice in the ice bin, and then just remove it and throw it away like it didn't happen, and did not remove the ice from the bin to clean it. Five minutes later, we saw the same waitress wipe down a table AND a booth and then use the same rag to wipe down the opening of a ketchup bottle without sanitizing or anything in between, which literally made the ketchup bottle dirtier. I didn't want to let one bad experience keep me from coming back after all of the good experiences, but especially in the era of Covid it was especially nasty to see, and my fiancé and i both left disappointed and quite honestly, sick to our stomachs. read more

Great college town bar with pretty good food and drinks. I always go the Pub when my family is in town and we want quick and good food to watch a sporting event on TV. College waiters/waitresses which I have yet to experience any problems. Would recommend the pub if you are in the area and looking for a quick sit down restaurant. read more

Have always had a great meal at Main Street. Until today, my friends and I try somewhere different every week, today was Main Street. My friend and I had the tuna melt and it was the driest sandwich I've ever had, fries are out of this world but could use more per plate. Another friend had the Texas chicken salad and totally enjoyed every bite! We'll be back to try something different just no more tuna melts for us! read more

Highly disappointed. The only reason they get two stars is because we enjoyed the last time we came. Today the waiter was highly inattentive and the food was subpar. Paying $15 for a pasta with burnt steak and Alfredo that tastes like plastic is not what I would call a good lunch. The meatloaf tasted like it was a pre-made product from GFS and was very over cooked. We will no be returning. read more

We were pretty hungry after a drive from Chicago to GVSU to drop off our daughter, and didn't want to wait til we got to Holland to eat. This place looked promising. It seems nicer than a "college pub" and has a neat, large patio area. We sat out to enjoy the beautiful day, and were the only ones out there for most of the time we dined. The menu was extensive- it all looked good! I opted for the spinach chicken salad which had walnuts, apples and blue cheese on it, as well as the raspberry viniagrette on the side. I couldn't wait to dig in, but was disappointed in the lack of flavor. I can't explain it, but there really wasn't any significant flavor to any of the ingredients. It was just kinda bland. Hubby had the grilled chicken sandwich with roasted red pepper hummus- and he, too was disappointed. We seemed to have 2 waitresses, as one was in training- so every 3 minutes one of them came by to see if we needed anything. At first I thought it was nice, but it got old about 1/2 way thru the meal. Overall, it was a decent place. Maybe one of those places where visiting parent's can take their student when they are in town, but nothing fancy. read more

One would expect a strip of restaurants just outside the GVSU campus, but unfortunately good dining options are limited in Allendale. Stopped off at Main Street Pub for lunch today with a group of coworkers and was pleasantly surprised. Plenty of room to find a place to sit down and eat. Our server was professional, knew the specials by heart, and checked back periodically with our table, but not that annoying pestering kind of attention that some servers give. I for one dislike servers who try to "chum up" to you...just bring me my food warm with a smile and we will get along A-OK. I ordered one of the lunch specials which was a chicken wrap with romaine lettuce and two kinds of cheese with a side of fries...definitely would order again. The menu had a variety of options for any diner. Plenty of plasma TVs on the walls no matter which direction one sits, however not a wide variety of sports were airing...get satellite and bring in some international sport events. Easily can accommodate single dining or groups. If you are in the mood to party a bit, take a look at their extensive shot menu...some creative ones. read more

Good food, great prices, great service. We took our family out after church on Sunday and really enjoyed it. We want to go back since we only looked at once side of the menu and want to experience the other! read more

This place honestly needs some help. I've gone in there multiple times and there are several dirty tables and not one around. It's sad when my friends come to eat dinner there in the bar (seat yourself) and there are 7 dirty tables so we're all just standing there awkward while no one cleans them so we took our business elsewhere. Also, one time my friend and I went in there and order an appetizer, after like 10 minutes we noticed that a server dropped them off at the table behind us. They kept asking her if they were "pretzel bits" and she kept saying "yes." They bit into one and noticed that they were in fact broccoli bites not pretzel bites. They called the server over and she was kinda gave us the side eye because she realized that we never got our appetizer. She brought them back to the kitchen and a few minutes later she brings us our appetizer. Here's the catch, she threw away the eaten bite and had one fried because all of them were cold and one was piping hot. When we confronted her all she could say was "oh." The manager came over, but never took them off our bill. My friend and I both are servers and would never get away with that kind of act where we work. Giving a table food that other people touched is against health code and is unacceptable. read more

Great place for a bite to eat. Big menu. Friendly service. If you want just some quick and cheap bar food it is the place to go. One thing that is great is the sunday breakfast buffet and it even has an omelet bar. Definitely worth trying on sunday morning! read more

Eating here on a Sunday is a nightmare. Bar is seat yourself so it's feast or famin, people coming in 30 min after you, can rush in & take a table in the bar section before you even realize one was available. Four groups had a table and two had food before we had even been seated. We waited almost exactly an hour for a table in the dining section and another 25 minutes to get our food. I really disagree with their policy on the bar section (tables) being seat yourself. Completely unfair to the people who wait. read more

This place can handle big groups. Came for a hockey tournament in the area. We came here as a team for lunch in between games. The food was good. The service was great. Our mites got ice cream sundaes and chocolate milk with their meals. All for one price. You can't beat that! read more

WARNING to all patrons: beware of 4" drop between dining room and bar levels. Has injured elderly patrons. I am one!

Awful! That's all there is to say about this place. While the food is average (try the Chicken Fritter Wrap) the service is awful. As a college student my friends usually like going here because it's close to campus and the prices are relatively cheap. Unfortunately, the service is poor. After being sat by a hostess my group of 4 waited nearly 10 minutes for a server to even greet us. We were two menu's short and when we asked for more they never came. Instead I went up to the hostess stand to get my own menu/silverware. The table we sat at had not been wiped down despite the server mentioning she would grab a rag. I would understand this in the instance that the place was busy but it was a weekday and they were dead! Nearly 4 out of 5 times that I eat here I receive my drink after my food comes out. Once we received our drinks the server never came back for refills or to see how our food was. Instead we had to flag someone else down to get another beverage. We waited for our bills after we made it apparent we were ready to leave (put the coats on, credit cards on the table) and she never came. Yet again we had to flag someone down. Sadly, this happens on numerous occasions. If you're looking for decent food with good service go down the road a bit and eat at Peppino's. Main St. just isn't worth the hassle. read more

Everything is okay. Service is nothing special, food is a lot like an applebees, all tastes microwaved. Everyone is generally very friendly, but, doesn't make up for mediocre food in my book. I understand it's a college town and the standards are low, but I hate spending money here. read more

The menu boasts "famous meatloaf" and being a meatloaf lover, I decided to try it. It was HORRIBLE. First off, it wasn't even a loaf, it was about 5 or so crumbles of meat mixture topped with canned gravy. The potatoes were dry and also covered in the salty canned gravy. I ate 2 bites off my entire plate and couldn't eat anymore because it was disgusting. I should have just thrown my $10 that the meatloaf cost straight into the garbage can. The soup that came before the meal was bland as well as cold. The server was also bad and didn't know anything about their menu. My husband asked what kind of local beers they had on draft and she had no idea. She asked him to name some so she could see if any of the names sounded familiar. My husband's meal was fine- the fries were good (even though there were only like 12 of them) and his gyro tasted like it had been frozen, but still OK. We were extremely dissatisfied with our entire dining experience and will not return to the restaurant ever. Worst $30 ever spent. read more
