Gotta try! French toast, scrambled eggs/sausage and Gouda/Bacon Grits
Gretchen H.

Main Street Eatery takes a family owned restaurant to a whole other level. Giving culinary Southern comfort food, a twist nothing short of an art form. This darling restaurant, atmosphere and southern hospitality makes you feel a guest of an extension of their home and feels less like being a normal patron at a chain restaurant. Every detail is methodically put together in every dish and cup of coffee. Oh... you MUST try the coffee!! From the decadent yummy thick French toast that soaks over nite and delicious grits taken to a new level with Gouda and bacon this place will leave you wanting more-- wishing you had more room to spare in your stomach. I promise you will leave with a smitten smile! :)

November Pancakes of the Month - Pumpkin Crunch Pancakes
Natalie W.

A family owned restaurant in Somerville that is wonderful! They have a specialty pancake each month. The pumpkin pancakes this month are amazing and I am looking forward to trying the white chocolate cranberry pancakes next month. The pancake batter is great and I have no doubts that their plain pancakes with syrup are amazing too. For breakfast, they bring out a basket of mini biscuits with butter and jelly. Their version of chips and salsa. LOL If you are in Somerville for breakfast, give them a try. The lunch menu sounds good and we hope to try that sometime soon.

Chicken salad sandwich with 7 layer salad
Jody W.

I feel bad. I'm torn. My folks raved about this place and they were excited to take us here. We drove quite a bit out of the way and my first impression was positive...cute little country-kitchen decor with homemade southern fare run by a family. This is really more of a one or two star review...and I struggled for the bright spots. So yes - the place is cute...but if you want actual southern breakfast/lunch/brunch type food, you'll need to visit on Saturday mornings. We were there for lunch on a weekday and the menu was extremely limited. I opted for a grilled chicken salad (smaller size)...which was served in a medium sized deep bowl.... of mostly iceberg lettuce.... that was hard to get at without making a mess. Others at the table had the chicken salad, reuben and mixed veggie plate (black-eyed peas, creamed corn and lima beans). We shared the blackberry cobbler for dessert. They usually have many desserts to choose from but this particular day they didn't. The best reviews came from the reuben. The cobbler was decent. The chicken salad was not my cup of tea...the ratio of mayo to chicken is off the hook. Too much mayo...and I do like mayo. But this was more of a, "would you like some chicken with your mayonnaise"? One other thing....there were very young children helping to clear, bus and clean tables. At first, I thought it was cute and awesome that these kids were helping out. But then I saw one of them with a (very) dirty, (very) wet rag wiping down an already dirty table - schmearing the previous guests food remnants along the surface...ultimately pushing chunks on the floor... and then placing perfectly clean utensil roll-ups on top of said tables. Health department, anyone? According to my folks, we hit them on an off day. So...while my experience was lackluster, perhaps they were really just having a bad day.

This is the full menu as of January 9th, 2021.

Best breakfast, hands down! The French toast is BAR NONE in the county. And the owner truly cares about the customers.

Home cooking, meh. Food was ok. Everyone's chili was barely warm. Waitress even said she thought she let it sit too long. Definitely not the best grilled cheese I've had. Nothing special, just your usual grilled cheese. Went here with family that lives in the town. I'm sure they love the place, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

See all
