**Main Street Pub** is one of my favorite restaurants. I started going to the Allendale location when I was at GVSU and fell in love with their food. There are so many great choices--my favorites include the ranch fritter wrap and the appetizer sampler. They have a bar side with pool tables and TVs, as well as a separate restaurant side. Our waitress was super nice and attentive, and they also have amazing cocktails. read more

Food was decent pub food as expected! Wide variety of menu at a great price. Service was attentive and atmosphere was great.

We went here after football conditioning the other night and had a pretty decent experience. Our waitress was fast and nice the food was what you would expect and the prices were decent. The only complaints were our waitress misheard a pair of drinks when we ordered and split the bill incorrectly for our group but nothing big enough to complain about. We'll probably be back soon. read more

My first time at this Main St. Pub for dinner last night, Nov. 3. Service: Stella - A Ambiance: Lights too bright (grade C) Food: F (Terrible) My meatloaf dinner made me sick several hours after eating it. I am now fine 12 hours later. Three slices of dried out, tasteless, meatloaf, a tiny portion of overcooked, stringy vegetables, and a scoop of mashed potato with gravy. The mashed potato and gravy were very good. When I phoned the restaurant today, the manager told me, "We'll make a fresh batch of meat loaf tonight." read more

The appetizers were grossly over cooked and were definitely staged. The fish dinner which was dry and over cooked as well not happy for the price... the waiter was good and maybe had she prepared my food it would have been good as well. read more

That was some of the BEST Main Street Pub I had ever had. Delicious Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders Platter, with Fries and Texas Toast, and it was absolutely 100% the BEST food I had ever had in my entire life. And I am 12. read more

We have been to this location twice within the last two weeks for dinner. We hadn't been for a year or so, and I'm not sure what has happened in that time. The first time we came recently, our waiter couldn't have acted more rushed, even though we seemed to be his only table. The worst part of that experience was when the Steak and Mushroom pasta came without one mushroom and when I brought it to his attention he had the biggest eye roll I'd ever seen. Since we'd had great experiences in years prior, we came again Sunday and had a horrible experience. Our waitress was rude, including slamming down the pecans that were left off the Blueberry Pecsn salad to the point they flew on the table. My pasta once again didn't have any mushrooms. She brought the tiniest condiment cup and said that's all they had. Only small takeout containers that didn't hold the food, because "that's all we have left". Brought salad dressing out as soon as we ordered, so it was left to sit in the hot sun and bugs in an open container while waiting for the entree salad. Forgetting ranch when extra ranch was ordered. The restaurant was not busy at all. read more

Flat Diet Pepsi. I had the blueberry grilled cheese, I felt like a can of blueberry pie mix was opened and used for this sandwich. The cheese wasn't even melted. Mom had the strawberry salad which just order the half size and save your money. She really enjoyed the salad though. Me...not so much I can add blueberry pie filling to a cheese sandwich and sell for 15.00 maybe I'm in the wrong business. I will say if the cheese was melted the sandwich may have stood a chance. Stick the the basics Main Street burgers and fried appetizers. read more

Took the grand daughter and friend to MSP. The perch ( which 2 of us ordered) were advertised as "wild caught, sweet" - they were horrible! About the thickness of wooden kitchen matches, very salty, too much breading and likely from an outdated frozen box. I'd be embarrassed even offering these "things" to customers. The special was bone-in wings that were not good, and mostly left untouched. The wrap was ok. And the bright spot was the wonderful waitstaff. read more

Tom was a wonderful server. It was Mother's Day and I took my daughter for dinner and drinks. The service was fast and he had good humor. It was quiet in the inside as it was close to the dining area closing. Not a lot of vegan options. However there are some. read more

Ever since Carley took over as manager the place has gone down hill.. She has managed to run off all the good bar tenders and employees.. She really needs to go. This use to be our favorite place to go to have a few beers and dinner.. but now we can't stand going there strictly because of her and the way she treats the employees. How she ever became a manager is beyond me.. When we were in there on Saturday and one of the waitress had held ordering device wasn't working properly I personally watched her belittle this employee right in front of her customers which I feel was totally uncalled for.. She's the one who needs to go. read more

Very busy so service was slow. Understandable but server was forgetful and absent most of the time. Had to flag other server to get ahold of ours read more

Visited this restaurant while traveling based on the wide variety of their menu. We were seated promptly in the bar area. There were a lot of large holiday party type groups around us that made the atmosphere fun. We ordered the queso to start. Basic Cheese with Rotel...not bad. My husband ordered the chicken pot pie...which he said wasn't very seasoned. My older son had the chicken kebob meal and enjoyed it. My younger son got the Mac and Cheese and he thought it was tasteless. Here's the kicker of the meal: I ordered the Avocado Cobb salad which came without a single speck of avocado on it. To make matters worse, there wasn't a mention of onion in the description of this salad on the menu (which is why I ordered it) and it came full of finely chopped red onion-which I despise. I hate to waste time sending something like this back, so I picked out every single piece. (Ugh). The chicken on the salad tasted old and rubbery and I couldn't force myself to eat it. This place is located in an area with a ton of eating choices. I wish we would have gone elsewhere. Our waitress was nice and attentive...so no shade for her! read more

Fantastic!!! Caroline, our waitress, was the best. We will be back for the best Nachos in Kalamazoo County. Extremely polite and friendly staff. Food and drink prices are better than most similar area restaraunts. read more

Great atmosphere, fun staff, great drink specials, and decent food. This is the place to go for football games and sport games. $3 bloodys and $2.50 wells on Sundays. I think they also have $3 1 topping pizzas on Sundays. And all you can eat fried fish too read more

I have always been a fan of Main St. Pub, and it has consistently been a great place to eat and drink for many years. They have good specials and they have a menu with a great variety so anyone can find something they'll like there. Stopped by on a girls' day adventure and we had cocktails and the amazing chicken nachos. I had never tried their nachos, but my friend was right when she said they're the best around! Cheese and toppings on every level of the whole huge stack of chips. Three of us munched on these and still couldn't finish them! The cocktails were tasty also. Everyone left stuffed and happy! read more

Traveling through the area. Food was fine, but service was terrible (Marcia B). Hostess and another waiter paid more attention to us than our waitress did. Whenever she dropped something off for us, it was a drive by. Dropped it and gone. No words, no eye contact. Didn't tell us my side salad would be full price, vs an add on like my husband's, never refilled our drinks (my tea had a bug in it), never picked up used dishes, never asked how things were....nothing. Even told us she didn't like any of the soups they had today. Had a few words at the end to help boost her tip but that was it. Even if we lived here, would not sit in her section ever again. read more

Saturday afternoon bar about 3/4 full. Was going to stop for drink and order take out. Sat there for between 5 - 10 minutes while the bartender jaw jacked with another customer 5 seats away. It wasn't until another customer sat down near her that she began to pay attention. He would ha been waited on before me if I hadn't waved and said hello loudly. Took my drink order with no apologies and when she finally brought it asked if I wanted food. Told her no, as I felt service wasn't going to get better. I'm writing this at a pub just down the street. They greeted me before my butt hit the stool. Guess where my new stop is read more

We usually come here in Tuesdays for their happy hour food and drinks. Best happy hour deals in town at the one in Kalamazoo. This time we went for pickup from the Westnedge branch. Food was great, we got burgers with sides of sweet potato fries and caramal sauce, and the crab rangoon flatbread which I highly recommend. They were really busy but still walked out with my food on time. Lives up to the standards, great food and service. Plenty of parking spots. Huge dining area and a bar. Great for parties, gatherings, and social events. Overall 5 Food 5 Atmosphere 5 Service 5 read more

Still hung up on having a below 68 dining area temperature. Horrible way to treat customers! read more

Well... I really wanted to rate this higher but ran into the issue of timing that just prevented us from enjoying our food. We sat outside. Very nice. The salad came and I stood looking at it for 10-15 minutes while waiting for silverware. My food came and and they warned me the plate was hot. However after I reminded them they forgot the side of jalapeños and salsa actually arrived, my tacos they were cold. They were good but cold. Service was actually good. She busted her ass servicing us and several others. I can only assume there is an issue in the kitchen. read more

My slow pitch softball team has been going to Main Street in portage for years now and recently we have been having more and more issues since they have hired new staff. Tonight in particular my child and I were in the bathroom while one of the managers was in the bathroom as well (female) and she came to our table and said "since I've seen your v***** I should introduce myself" and then proceeded to ban my slow pitch team who has had poured hundreds of dollars into the establishment for years..this was my first time seeing this new manager there. This just shows what kind of person Main Street is willing to hire. We will no longer go to Main Street and neither should you. They are unprofessional and disrespectful in many ways read more

We had a blast waiting for our take home order, it was raining, but that didn't stopped us from having some drinks by the fire. (they even have heaters) They also have tents (you can see them in the background, the big red ones) they are heated inside and you can reserve them. We had amazing service and our food was great. Let's go Kalamazoo and Portage let's help our community. read more

Always a good go to place. Huge menu. Our favorites are their nachos, hint, get the small! Their deserts are good. Pot roast is delicious. Fish and chips is awesome. Very sad they no longer serve their fajitas. Service is always good. Live that thru have take out. read more

McKenna O. overcharged us with no apology after we pointed it out. The food was ok but overpriced for what you get. Nice seating area outside. After we paid our bill and tipped the server (she ran the card at the table) we noticed our receipt said "Suggested Additional Tip:" at the bottom to give her even more than the generous tip we ALREADY left her?? I have NEVER seen this on a receipt before. Very greedy! Big turn off. All in all would not recommend. read more

Shannon, I don't know why you ignore me, then when I ask to place an order, my order was incorrect, you had some else fix, never brought the drink I ordered, and after the credit card was sitting there for 25 minutes, and I saw you look at it, then after watching you cash 3 people out, 3 keno runs, all after I asked to pay. I eventually had to walk all the way around to get your attention, and you play like you didn't know... this is the 3 rd time you have done this. i Will call ahead and make sure you are not there next time, as there some great people who do work there. won't be a fourth time, thank you read more

Main St is like a local Applebee's to me, only because when you walk into a Applebee's, you feel welcomed, it feels like a family atmosphere and you get a hearty meal! My favorite thing from Main St is the BBQ pulled pork nachos and the fried pickle spears! The nachos are cooked well, the meat is plentiful and its a giant portions! The pickles are cooked well and you don't lose the pickle from the breading when you take a bite, which mainly what I look for in a good fried pickle! The drinks are always good and the staff is awesome! read more

Will NEVER ever come back here! The food was slow to get and I ordered the Mac and cheese. Something must have been ill prepared or someone must have not washed their hands as I got food poisoning from it. Very horrible and will not return. read more

Another check mark on my list of top hamburger places in Kalamazoo to try. My co-workers and I ate here on Friday (the weather didn't cooperate to go to Ribfest for lunch). I ordered the Smoked Gouda Burger. I like the flavor of Main Street Pubs burgers. The Smoked Gouda was topped with sauteed portabella mushrooms, smoked gouda cheese, and sauteed red peppers. It was A-OK in my book. The other ladies ordered The Bronco burger and they both really liked it (topped with BBQ sauce, crisp bacon, melted cheese and finished with haystack onions). Main Street Pub has been a go-to place for after work drinks with my co-workers. The staff has always done a good job accommodating us. The manager has to be one of the friendliest guys around. All in all a good burger to end a busy week on. read more

Atmosphere: The bar was load but this was to be expected because it is a pub. If this type of noise doesn't bother you, the atmosphere was great. Service: Courtney was our server. She was amazing! She really fun and had a sense of humor and made awesome recommendations Food: very delicious. I was going to go with a burger special but Courtney convinced me to try to pizza chimicunga. I was awesome indeed. Deserts were out of this world. Courtney even took time to put melted peanut butter on my friends brownie sundae. Overall, this is an excellent experience. read more

I've been here a few times and never leave disappointed. Decent food served fairly quickly. It's not the best place I've been to eat but it's certainly not a bad option. They also have a decent sized menu that has satisfied all of the people I've eaten here with. read more

We love coming here with the whole family! Especially on Sunday's and Mondays for kids eat free! They have great food! Turkey club deluxe is the BEST! In my opinion of course! They have amazing wings, pulled pork, chicken fingers, cheese sticks and pretzel bites! All family favorites! They have some great daily lunch deals, every day of the week! TUESDAY DOLLAR TACOS!! yum! Don't forget to try the fried pickles! Ugh to die for! They have BIG rooms for big parties, pool table, darts! Great for a hangout or family dinner! It's a great atmosphere, the hostess is nice, very polite, all of the waitresses and waiters are super helpful, fast and courteous. The manager every time comes over and asks how our meal is and how our day is going! Super clean and someone is always working on cleaning up! This is a family favorite and we will continue to come back!! read more
