This is your straight up, old school cafe serving up breakfast like it's meant to be. Walking in, you're immediately transported to an old country kitchen and dining room. Grab a seat, and the friendly staff comes around to take your order - for breakfast, I recommend getting that full platter with pancakes. Excellent texture, the scrapple was great, and the eggs were cooked as ordered. Can't beat it. read more

I am so disappointed. In house breakfast is always good. I ordered Door Dash. Eggs over medium. They were very runny. The toast was just cold bread. Never again. read more

Main Street Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harrington, Delaware

The service was no good and their food is way below par. Then there are the hours. You just never know when they're going to be open. They seem to not have regular restaurant hours. But it is of no consequence to me because I could care less about eating there ever again. read more

Food was great! They have a crab bisque soup that was the best that I've tried in Delaware and the wings were really good! Love the decor!

Been to the new location 3 times, each time had lousy service. One time it was so hot in there it was unbearable. Last visit we both got a taco salad. The chips were so stale we couldn't eat them ... they were more like dog rawhide! Used to have good service and great food but since moving they went downhill, really far! read more

Delicious food, homey atmosphere, pleasant waitresses, good coffee and reasonable prices......what else could you want in a cafe? I eat there several times a week and today I had a delightful mushroom and Swiss omelette! read more

We have been there before for dessert and it was nice. Went back for dinner. Food was good and service was great. But to walk in and see what was playing on the TV was Fox News. Should not post your political views for your customers to see. Kinda turned us off. Probably not coming back. read more

Always great service and good food. The baked goods are a big plus. We stop there at least once a week for lunch or dinner.

My Mother and I had two bowls of cream of crab soup. They were not even warm or hot! My Mother took them back and told the waitresses "please reheat these. Or could we have two new that are warm/hot?" My Mother said the waitresses did not even say sorry for they not being served warm/hot. Both of the soups were watery, not thick, not a lot of crab. :-/ The waitress did not even give me a straw for my cup of water. The waitress did not even ask how our renewed soups were. The waitress did not even ask how we wanted to pay, she automatically thought we were going to pay with card, 7% charge to use card! That is more than a normal sales tax, like heck no! The restaurant was cute. I would try again, but hopefully better delish breakfast or sandwiches and desserts. So sorry for now, 1 out of 5 stars. read more

The breakfast is amazing. I had a Philly cheese steak omelet, with a side of corn beef hash and Taylor ham. The omelet was stuffed full of goodies. Even the house coffee was good. Wait staff very friendly. All the food was flavorful and seasoned well. Bring your appetite, if you leave hungry it's on you. My only regret was they wont Franchise in Roanoke VA. As a deceased friend of mine used to say "This place is off the chain". I will eat here again when passing through. read more

The service was great. My husbands meal was very good, mine was not so good. When they brought out my plate it smelled like raw fish. When I tasted the California medley it tastes like raw fish. The sweet potato fluff was warm and was like from a can, smashed with brown sugar. Rolls looked store bought. Their cinnamon rolls did look wonderful but never tried them. read more

They prominently display a "Beijing Biden banana republic" sign behind the pastry counter. Tacky. Stopped for coffee to go. Lukewarm. Not so great. Styrofoam cups with flimsy lids. read more

I always judge a diner by the eggs they use. Main Street eggs are a good quality, and cooked to perfection. Overall a great place to have breakfast. read more

Food is excellent, people are great and their catering is amazing! Highly recommend. They take all the worries out of any occasion with their wonderful food and deserts! read more

Great service - lovely ladies. Quick food. Great pricing. Cute place with an old school feel.

Recently visited Main Street Cafe with a few friends and really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the service. Thought my other half would also enjoy visiting Main Street Cafe so we came to Harrington for a visit on their first night of evening hours (open until 8pm, Thursday, Friday, & Saturday). Hubby thoroughly enjoyed our visit, he got the open faced turkey and I got the fried crab cake dinner. My crab cakes, although fried were delicious, no visible filler, nice size, 2 sides and reasonably price. This place is well worth the 30 minute trip and we definitely will be back! read more

Good food, great service, local neighborhood feel. Great options for breakfast and wonderful coffee.

We try to go here for breakfast every time we are in the area. Place is cute but we go for the food! Plenty of selection and everything I've even had was delicious. Servers are all very friendly and that coffee comes around often. Needless to say, we will be back! read more

Finding a restaurant in Harrington is not easy... considering that their Taco Bell is one of the highest rated restaurant on Yelp. I came to Harrington for few days for a fight tournament and came across main Street Cafe. A Cute, locally owned diner that was full of warmth and smile. 1st time experience was so pleasant we decided come back next morning. We pretty much ordered everything. And they all were delicious. Definitely try their waffles and if you want an authentic scrapple, get that too. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a warm hearty breakfast. read more

Main Street Cafe - Land and Sea eggs Benedict. Generous portion of crab lump meats. It's perfect! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harrington, Delaware

As I went in, meeting the writer I never met before, Dawn, I felt this rushing forward of the interior as I walked into the door, almost as if a shrinking of the room, but, I realized it was the sense of a space fitting to a comfort level. I almost could SMELL the wood burning, which is based on the wood decor that makes you feel as if you are entering the warmest cabin . Seeing alot of items that jumped out at me as Americana, I found the closest booth but, a personal attraction to all things wood jumped out to me - from the walls, to the floors, to all things that seemed to make up the interior. Seeing the selection of pancakes, blueberry, I was hooked. The cordial waitress seemed to be providing list and list of extras that came with the meal, choices of three meats - and I hoped the meal itself would be as enticing as my mind was hearing through my ears. The orange juice coming in Mason jars matched the style and feel of the decor, and was delicious. There was a low hum of families and couples taking in the early morning, and everything was relaxed to say the least. There were nearby electric plugs as well to equip writers with devices as needed. The meal came and wow - enough to cover the plate, I forgot how generous America portion breakfasts could be and this was no exception. The syrup slid over the hot pancakes and as delicious as you could hope for, and the exact same for the sausage. It was a challenge to finish simply the order of pancakes and sausage itself. After some conversation, I was able to meet Beth Carmac owner. Hailing originally from Maryland, affiliations with racehorses in their family, Beth is no stranger to Delaware community. Once, Carmac managed a restaurant named The Old Country Skillet, and the legacy today has been three former employees now working at The Man Street Cafe in Harrington. American owned, all homemade meals, Carmac has a to do list that has everything to do with community. Her involvement and suggestions at City Council meetings, always keep the direct community in mind, and it is satisfying to know a business owner isn't just about the business at hand, but about the community this business supports. Having an intense love for cooking, being tied to this location as this is her home above the Main Street Cafe, always been an Eastern Shore girl, with the visions to expand the outside dining area for bands, expanding to a buffet connected to the menu, as well as currently open Friday and Saturdays for dinner, the Main Street Cafe has much to look forward to with the coming Delaware State Fair, definitely being a great place and hub for National Novel Writing members of Delaware, and preserving the very history that surrounds us, there is not much you would WANT to miss in heading to The Main Street Cafe. read more

I just went to heaven in Harrington: not only did they cook my scrambled eggs perfectly but the Delaware scrapple was crispy on the outside yet not killing the flavor on the inside. Iced tea with lemon topped off a perfect breakfast for a Delaware visit! The ambience is cool and I love the harness racing win photos! A winner all around!! read more

Main Street Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harrington, Delaware

Found this place on Yelp while in Harrington for a youth football game and looking for a place to have breakfast with my husband. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. read more

They have a very good atmosphere there as well as good food. It feels like a little family run business that tries hard to serve the customers as best as possible. read more

Yesterday was our second trip here at main street café The second visit was because of the first and nothing has changed as far as food,service and atmosphere. Breakfast again and that's what we do. I got the basic oatmeal with strawberries and rye toast ,my much better half got scrapple and a English muffin. Our waitress was new to the café but not at being a waitress (Vanessa?) Friendly ,attentive, excellent all around. This Café is a go to if you want a small quaint main street café with good food and owned by someone who knows what it takes to keep customers coming back. We will spread the word and will be back sometime too. read more

Great little place that makes you feel at home. I had the Buffalo chicken egg rolls and it was the bomb. My biggest complaint is that they do not wear mask in a appropriate manner. The owner did not have one on at all, also they do take car at a 1% fee which stinks read more

I came in for breakfast at around 7am. The restaurant is clean and well decorated. 4 other customers were there so it wasn't crowded. The staff was friendly and the portions are large. The prices are reasonable . TV was on so you can catch up on the news. The volume wasn't loud so you could have a conversation, I appreciate that. I ordered bottomless coffee, an omelette with provolone cheese, onions and mushrooms. Came with hash browns and toast. The omelette can be ordered the way you like it. Lots of choices of ingredients and a wide variety of cheeses. It arrived quickly. Now here's the problem...the food had absolutely no flavor. I had to put so much salt and pepper on the omelette just to eat it. The eggs were watery tasting. The hash browns were the worst. No amount of salt and pepper could save them. I'm guessing they were pre cooked. They were grayish, cold and a little slimy. No brown or crunch and that is important when they are called hash browns. I didn't say anything to the waitress. I want to give them another chance. Maybe it was a fluke and not the norm. I will try lunch this time. I will update this review with the results, so fingers crossed! read more

Main Street Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harrington, Delaware

We drove past the Main Street Cafe on the way from DC to Rehoboth last year. We were somewhat hungry so we decided to give it a try. The staff could not have been more friendly and efficient, and the food (breakfast in this case) was top notch. The cafe is cozy, warm and clean. Stopped in again for lunch on the way back and had the same super experience. The next time we head to Rehoboth or Cape May, we hope to be able to stop in again. We would give them six stars if we could. read more

Such a cute cozy place! The food and service was excellent! New Breakfast spot. When I walk in it remained me of the Hallmark Movies Cafe. Everyone smiles and is pleasant. read more

Fantastic!!! Small little hidden gem on Commerce st. In Harrington. Passed by many times never been in, until today. Stopped in for lunch, the atmosphere was very warm and Inviting the decor feel like you're at the family country home, clean with a beautiful fragrance of fresh cooked food passed through the air. Staff is friendly!! Salute!!! The food, what does Emril say "bam"!! Cream of crab soup filled with lump crab wonderfully creamy full of flavor. Then the crab cake sandwich the only filler in there was more and more crab. If you're in the area stop by for a bite you will not be disappointed. The food the atmosphere this place has the whole package. I will be back and with my family. Thank you!!! read more

Want crappy cold slop and terrible service? Go there. Otherwise, go to a place of quality!

Stopped in for a quick lunch today and found this hidden gem. Service was great and the food was delicious. Was hoping for some cream of crab soup but they didn't have that today- so got the chipped beef gravy and was glad I did! read more

Was really good food but for some reason they charged us for every chicken tender but we talked to the ladies and they changed it and the price was way better! I suggest if just wanna eat and go. read more

Always good food and service . Thank you, Beth, for doing what you do so well. I had the blue cheese & bacon burger, my partner had the Main St. burger. They were both cooked perfectly, with exactly the right amount of seasoning. The fries (who can't cook fries? Don't get me started.) were also cooked exactly as I would have done it at home. Lunch (to go) for two: under $20. What?!? read more

Crab cake was delicious.! Enjoyed the grilled chicken salad. Loved the bacon and caramelized onions on the salad. The staff was friendly and polite. Thanks! From Baby Cakes read more

Great lunch spot! Fast & friendly service, good for kids - all of us had different sandwiches & all were good. Nice to find a local business that isn't a chain - would definitely recommend - not fancy - just a good, clean, old fashioned, comfy cafe! read more

We were driving from Rehoboth Beach to Alexandria, VA and happened to be in Harrington around dinner time and came into this lovely establishment for some dinner. The inside was decorated warmly with country themed decor. The menu had a choice of 3 items- homemade crab cakes, honey dipped chicken and prime cut each came with two sides (mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, green beans, squash, cucumbers & onions, coleslaw, and tomato salad) the prices were from $11.99 - $19.99, which was very reasonable. The food was actually AMAZING! My daughter and I each ordered crab cakes and I had tomato salad and cucumber & onions (which were both very tasty). The crab cake was very good and I consider myself to be a crab cake expert. We were very pleased and plan to return again in the not too distant future! read more

While traveling I stopped for lunch on a Monday at 12:45, after reading the reviews. The restaurant looked inviting, but was closed. There were no hours posted on the door, but Yelp said hours were Monday til 3pm.. There was no one there, and the door was locked right. Better call first if you want to try it out. read more

First time there for me and I loved it! I live in California but come to Delaware every summer to visit my sister and family. I have to have my chicken and dumplings while I'm here..it's a must. I've had them at a bunch of restaurants and most are good but the ones at Main Street are outstanding! The dumplings are the perfect thickness..not to thick or to thin. Just like my grandma in Rehoboth made them. Wonderful flavor and the chicken was very good. A leg and a thigh. I personally don't eat legs but the thigh was excellent! read more

Stopped by on a whim based on other reviews making us hungry for the cream of crab soup! Was not disappointed-- incredibly good crab soup! Smelled like a crab feast and tasted like very food quality crab shining through... we also got a special of an excellent, tasty grilled cheese and cream of shrimp soup-- we split everything for a late lunch -- $13!!!! Left a great tip as the food was so cheap for how great it was read more
