    Everything is served with pickles and Coleslaw. Still in the area for work and Main Street diner was close to my location as it was just a 3 minutes walk. Looks just like the movies with their 50's styles theme. It's very small, however, very quiet, cozy, clean, and nicely decorated. At our table was a cute little music box dated before I was born. For a small diner, their menu was well crafted and very thick and had a wide variety of options, and it was hard to make a choice. Their hours are 7 am to 2 pm and Breakfast is served all day. I thought it would be 24 hours service but I guess not all diners operate that way. Service from our waiter was excellent, I am sorry I didn't get his name. As we took a seat, our drink order was taken and we were given time to review the extensive menu. Food came out very quickly and was delicious. I ordered the Happy waitress as it sounded fancy and never had anything like that before. It was a grilled cheese with bacon and tomatoes. I was happy after my first bite as when the melted cheese with bacon and tomatoes graced the tip of my tongue, there are no words to describe the taste. I was indeed happy after my first bite My friends had little Italy and the pastrami nightmare and they both enjoyed their meals. This diner is a must check out if you're looking for a breakfast and lunch spot in the area. A week later I made my second visit because it was that good and everything was the same. Great customer service and great-tasting food.

    When the MSD was mentioned in the most recent edition of AAA magazine, I had to see what all the buzz was about. First of all, out of the 50's, literally. Very iconic, stools at the counter, some booths, lots of stainless steel, yadayadayada. The menu is extensive, especially for breakfast which is served during all hours (currently 7A to 2P, daily). Tabitha took my order, which was the Hillbilly Omelet (ham, sausage, Swiss and potatoes in an omelet), with "home fries" and rye toast. Coffee found its way to me continuously. The omelet was very good, but I was a little disappointed in the "home fries", which seemed to be small potato nuggets deep fried. I'm more used to fresh sliced potatoes and onions, well-spiced, simmering on the back end of the griddle all day. They also don't serve homemade corned beef hash, which is almost a prerequisite to getting a 5-star rating from me. Service was EXCELLENT. Tabitha handled everything in the front end, even w her broken toe encased in a foam bootie. And she constantly wiped down counters, booths, etc. Very personable, too. Basically a two-person operation. Cook, Tabitha, and part-time dishwasher. And lots of regulars, based on the greetings. Worth a trip.

    Super cute diner!! Old fashioned with little jukeboxes at each table (ours didn't work, not sure if they're supposed to) but I loved the ambience. Typical diner food but with many Polish options (kielbasa, Polish skillets, rye bread and more). The coffee we got was ok but the food was good. I got eggs over medium with bacon and homefries, my sister got an egg sandwich on a roll and her husband scrambled eggs with kielbasa and homefries. We all enjoyed our meals which were priced well. It was a good experience if you're not a brunch snob.

    This little diner in the heart of Plainville is a really gem! It's definitely my favorite breakfast spot. The food is consistently great and the staff is fun and cheerful. I feel so lucky to live right down the street from this wonderful place. If I had to pick some thing I didn't like about it it would only be the hours. They close at 2 PM but I think they should be open till 3-4 PM. Just a little extra time for those late risers That's it

    We've been coming to this diner for years, and I love it. It is very clean and has consistently good food. The service is always fast and friendly. Love the retro design - each table has a little jukebox. They have an extensive menu with all the typical breakfast items and much more. I usually stick to something simple - breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Pancakes are huge and delish. My son recently had the ice cream sundae waffle, which he loved. Highly recommend!

    While the wife spent a rare Saturday working from home we decided to give her peace. I'm amazed the reviews don't have this in the 4 category. This place was amazing. The 2 front of house staff were right there bick banks boom. I had the hungry man breakfast the kid the Oreo pancake. We brought home a breakfast sandwich for the wife. Im actually surprised that the kid hasn't asked me to go back yet. We will return. But I also know park on the street they have like 3-4 spaces behind the building. But street parking isn't had in this area.

    French toast
    Meagan B.

    Really disappointed. First time ordering from here and it was way overpriced. 13.99 for 2 pancakes smaller than my hand. French toast was really chewy and just bland . Didn't come with butter or syrup like it said on the menu.

    Looking for an old school diner experience? Look no further than the Main Street Diner. It's a small spot with a couple booths and seats at the counter. Each of the booths has an old school tiny juke box which holds classic songs from Céline Dion to Guns n Roses. The menu is gigantic with pages full of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The portions are large sizes so make sure to come hungry. I have the breakfast combo and my bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was delicious with a good mix of favors.

    My wife and I arrived during the relative calm between breakfast and lunch. We noted on the menu insert that numerous favorably priced breakfast specials are offered until 11AM that we missed by 15 minutes. Undeterred we both decided on ordering breakfast with my better half choosing scrambled eggs while I selected easy over. Both included a choice of toast, wheat thank you, and home fries. My eggs were grease free and cooked as requested though the portion of potatoes was on the skimpy side. Her scrambled eggs were overdone after the cook chose to flatten them with a spatula on the grill. Late morning prices escalate at the bewitching hour of 11AM from $1.99 to $5.29 so I would recommend arriving early unless someone else is paying. Our server performed double duty by handling the cashier duties, but managed to promptly greet and serve each table.

Greeted warmly by our server, the coffee was served and it was fresh and delicious. I drink mine in black and I could taste the flavors. Some of the best coffee I've had in a long time. Diner style and delicious. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on an English muffin. The egg was perfectly fried, along with the white American cheese, and tasteful bacon. Unfortunately, the bacon missed the mark, as it wasn't crispy. It was soggy. And the English muffin was very small and un toasted. It seemed to me like it was microwaved. How can you not toast an English muffin? So the sandwich itself was not solid whatsoever. But looking around at the breakfast platters, they look delicious and all of my friends seem to enjoy what they ordered. So just a quick note to the owners and the chef and the cooks, toast, the damn English muffin, please! Crispy bacon would be nothing out of the ordinary to ask This place is solid, looking around at the different orders for breakfast, I look forward to returning again and giving it another shot

I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.
