Good food and great price! The hot bar can't be beat choice of protein three side bread and drink for less than nine dollars. Ladies always helpful in quick service. Open seating and booth area very laid-back atmosphere. And also unlimited refills on your drinks! read more

It had been about two years since I tried the food at main street restaurant. At that time the meal was not good at all . I will have to say nothing has improved in two years. I ordered a Hamburger special . The fries were crispy and hot but when I bit into the hamburger it was horrible . Had that texture of a soy patty and tasted old. It also smelled like old hamburger. I ate just two bites and was afraid to eat any more. The ketchup on the table was Walmart brand. That says a lot about quality . I gave them another chance but they failed. I can't see why they are getting a four star ratings. I have managed a lot of restaurants and owned some. My background is extensive in the restaurant business so I call it as I see it. Be careful eating in this place read more

I was in town to grab a hot dog but my first choice location ended up closing here so, as one does, I hopped on to Yelp to find another option. Main Street popped up and so I headed their way. It's just off the main street in downtown and, despite a storm having just passed through, there were lots of people out and about for an Art Walk. The inside was closed. I didn't see hours posted but I think it's only open for breakfast and maybe lunch. I got back in my car and went to the drive thru. I ordered a hot dog with chili, slaw, and mustard, a cheeseburger, and a drink. There was some difficulty with hearing through the speaker and the person taking my order got mad at me. :shrug: I pulled around, paid, took my food, and headed back into the parking lot to sit and eat. The hot dog was bad. The hot dog and chili were warmish. The chili had beans in it (sorry, but I do expect North Carolina hot dogs to be served with hot dog chili aka, no beans). The bun fell apart the moment I picked it up. I didn't finish it. The burger was better. Patty was warm, cheese nearly melted, fresh slice of thick tomato. The whole thing wasn't terribly expensive but this is a big case of you get what you pay for. Breakfast looks good but I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Main Street - Hot Dog with chili, slaw, and mustard - American Near Me - Murphy, North Carolina

The food was ok for the price. The restaurant was clean and the staff was nice. I probably wouldn't stop here again though. I felt more like this was a place meant more for locals than ones traveling through. It's definitely worth a try if you're from a rural area and want a taste of home. read more

Main Street - Fried bologna sandwich with curly fries. $2.59 - American Near Me - Murphy, North Carolina

This is by far the best food and service in Murphy! So incredibly affordable and so delicious!! This place is a gem unbelievable places like this still exist! We have already eaten here twice in our three day stay lol. The biscuit and gravy with sausage was our favorite breakfast. For lunch the bacon double cheeseburger was huge and the Philly cheesesteak had the cheese melted inside. The curly fries, coleslaw, onion rings, etc was all so good and they give so much for so affordable. Love it here and the workers are dolls!! read more

Well. Lived here a year and have heard about Main Street through our neighborhood web page and YElP and decided to give it a try. While inside was clean the food was terrible. I ordered. Chili dog and the chili was canned chili and cold. Ordered a chuck wagon sandwich and it was ok with tomatoes that looked like they were two days old. Also had chicken strips that were frozen and overcooked. French fries were cold . Cheap eats are ok but I will pay money for better quality. Probably will not return . read more

Positive: the prices are great, a throw back to 10 years ago. Negative: not what I was expecting. Basically a fast food burger joint with a meat and three hot bar. Mediocre food and nice people. They were doing a helluva business though and a lot of the reviews are great, so what do I know. Their core customers seem to love the place. Not for me. read more

I love finding hidden gems when I travel and this is one of them! Good home cooking! Highly recommend! There's a line out the door for a reason! read more

Very casual, plastic plates and silverware. Counter order & pickup, minimal selections.

Casual place, order at the counter and they bring it out. Food was tasty. Large selections. Disappointed in the strawberry pie, it was a cream pie with 1 slice of a strawberry garnish on top. read more

Great eats. Sam at counter is sweet and quick in her orders. We found this to be A favorite for a peaceful, tasty spot eating in town. Highly recommend . read more

If you're looking for luxury and fine dining you should probably look elsewhere! But if you're looking for some really good food at a super price, look no further! This is a good downhome country cooking place that is well worth a stop. Passing through on the way home and stopped here. Incredible value and delicious food! read more

Excellent value for the money. Very good burger and fries. I had the double bacon cheeseburger with curly fries and a drink. Spouse had the Hamburger special (Burger, Fries, and a drink). read more

For the quantity and quality of food at this cost, it would have been a 4 out of the gate. Burgers were tasty, fresh, and the fries were fine (not great, not bad). We fed a family of three on thirteen dollars, which is awesome. They DO take credit cards now, instead of cash only. The wait in the drive through was about 20 minutes, which is long, and they really weren't all that friendly. Finally, we got our order, and it was wrong (which we didn't check until we were at home). They left out a side (onion rings) and there was ketchup on a burger that was requested without. So, good food, cheap, a little bit of you get what you get, and don't pitch a fit. read more

Let's get real. I have never been inside this place, I have only used the drive-thru. It's cheap. It's greasy burgers & fries, and a few other things. But you go here for a quick burger. It's not gourmet. It's not fancy. It's a small, local joint where you can grab lunch or a snack. The staff is decently friendly, but this place is old school through & through. If you want quick, modern fast food, don't stop here. If you want a tasty burger that you don't mind waiting a few minutes & paying cash for, this is your place. read more

Food was really good and service was basic, but this place used to be a bank and I think all they did was move the tables out slap a kitchen in the vault room! It's pretty weird actually and I now understand why most people use the drive thru. It's pretty run down and tired inside. For go to the bathrooms there's a pile of junk next to them that would take about 5 minutes to get rid off, but I bet it's been sitting there for years! It's pretty sad all these local restaurants could care less about there image and just leave junk sitting out. All that it would take is one day of cleaning!!! I just don't get it. This place would be 4 stars easy if they would just clean up and make their dining area a little better. Oh well, guess its the drive-thru for me next time. read more

Main Street by far, has the best burgers in town. The owner and staff are always friendly and go out of their way to help the community! Prices are very reasonable with great menu choices!! Highly recommend!! read more

I enjoy this quaint place. The value of the food is good, and it has decent quality. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for some good home style food. The only negative I really have is it can take a bit to get your food especially when it is busy. The staff is friendly and always seems to have a smile. read more

Best fast food in town for years running. A local favorite. Lunch Buffet as good as the cheese burger special as good as the breakfast. You really can't loose here and the prices are right. read more

Best burger or hot bar in town! Get there before 11:30 or you'll be in a long line!! Locals eat here!! Hot bar is like $5.99! 1 meat 3 sides! read more

Every time I come back home I have to have Main Street. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Line is long, service is fast, and food is delicious! Grilled cheese taste like momma made it read more

Great food for a great price. It's not fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but it's clean and delicious. Staff is friendly and efficient. read more

This place is great and get a lot of food for the price which is very reasonable. I love it when I am in town and they are open cause I always have to stop in and eat. read more

Even with the added dollar due to the COVID meat shortage, main streets burger special is still the best bargain around.

Crowded for a reason. If you ever go to a new place and wonder if a single burger is enough or should you get the double, here the single is enough. I got the double and it was as big as a bowling ball. couldn't finish it. really good, fresh and hot and the curly fries were delicious. wife got the hot bar meat and 3. also really good. some of the vegetables are canned (most) but they still make them good. the slaw was fresh and delicious. there's a line at lunch, so plan accordingly. the blueberry pie was great also. highly recommended. read more

Only the best fresh burgers in town ! We look forward to stopping here multiple times during our stay . Fresh produce and super friendly staff with efficient service. Plus the fires are always perfect . read more

If you know what you're walking into, this place is excellent. I suspect this place is very much aimed at locals rather than tourists (like us!) but it is very decent burger and fries kinda place that's cheaper than a fast food joint and has better food. Decor as others have said is rather cafeteria-like, but the food is good and we fed a family of 5 for around 20 bucks. They also have a drive through and they do breakfast. read more

I remembered why I don't go to this place often... Extremely SLOW service if you dine in. They seem to cater to the drive thru window more than the inside guests. Did I say slow service inside? It took 15 minutes to get two hamburgers, a hot dog and a fry. They were not that flavorful. I will say that the tomatoes on the burgers were ripe. That is an oddity for any place. The best part of this fiasco was the parking lot when we were leaving. Some genius decided it was a good idea to take his twenty foot trailer through the drive thru. There were two cars already waiting to place their orders. This clown had the parking lot completely clogged up. Not to mention the road accessing the lot. read more

This place is a must if you're in or around Murphy,NC, especially if you are going to the casino. It is simply the best country home cooking I've had in years, and the price is amazingly low-key $4.99 for your choice of four different entrees, three sides, roll or cornbread, and drink. The menu is different each day of the week, but is the same each Monday, Tuesday,etc. My lady friend loves Tuesday because of the fried chicken livers. read more

Great hot dogs and hamburgers for a good price. Also like their breakfast pancakes. Very good deals.

Decent food. Decent burgers. I wouldn't recommend fries or onion rings . Prices are great.

Nothing fancy to look at. We had breakfast. The food was really good. And you can't beat the price! Service was great. Bathroom was clean. What more can you ask for?!!! Will definitely go again. read more

I like this place a lot. I think the b'fast in the drive thru is fast and delicious and it's clearly prepared by people who care. I have eaten here a lot over the years ( b'fast only) and I think it's great. Why in the world would you go to McD's when you can have a homemade biscuit and egg sandwich for half the price of any franchise breakfast sandwich? And when they tell you to have a good day - I think they really mean it. Thumbs up!! read more

Food was okay. Drive thru is faster and most people use it over dining inside. The wait was rather long.

I guess I don't see what everybody else is complaining about. This place has good, simple, no nonsense food at a great price. I mean, a cheeseburger, fries and a drink for $3 or $4 is unheard of these days. I got the fried balogna and cheese for $1.79. Pretty good. read more

Okay if you want something super cheap and don't mind the ambiance of a noisy cafeteria. It would be fine if you need a quick bite to eat for lunch, but wouldn't recommend for tourists/out of town visitors (which I was). My burger was not that great--it was lukewarm and the bun was dried out. read more

Honestly, the best restaurant in town for the price and taste. Cash only is a downside, but it blows most of the other local restaurants out of the water. The interior is always clean, while it is a little outdated. But you're their for the food, not the decor. read more

Considering the money you save and good food that this place has, it's really no wonder there is a long wait. I mean, where else can you get a tasty burger, fries, and drink for 2.99? The traffic is terrible in the parking lot, but this place isn't McDonald's. It's a smaller family owned company and with that there are a few set backs. It's customers aren't really geared to out of town people, but to our local population. You can tell that by the more personalized greetings and the staff knowing nearly everybody's name. Consider too, that when you place an order, your order is cooked on the spot, not precooked and waiting in the window for you to happen to order it... so yeah, of course you have to wait! Does food just magically appear in YOUR kitchen when you think you want it? Good food, good place, friendly people, and a great value for your money! read more

WOW! Our first time eating here. A friend recommended it - we live an hour away. Inexpensive BUT great tasting. I love that they cook your order individually. The drive-in line was long and slow, but now we know why. It's worth the wait! We are sorry that the hot bar is only open on weekdays. Just another reason to return! 5 STARS! read more

Delicious!!!!! Best Burger in town!!! Hot Bar looked amazing, restaurant was full of locals and drive thru was 10 cars waiting (good sign). Great people working all very kind restaurant very clean. Food came out quick and hot. Sweet tea was wonderful. Highly recommend! read more
