To the east of Chinn Chinn in the same building, Main Street has three sections: a dining room with booths and tables (for groups up to 10), a room set aside for very large groups (greater than 10), and a bar with numerous TVs lined up high on the walls. This last is the largest of the three rooms. There is sufficient separation that bar noise doesn't seem to filter much into the other two rooms. Five of us, all from the same work setting, and a couple of partners (including my girl) met tonight for our annual holiday meal. We had not called beforehand with a reservation, but the staff put together a couple of tables for us without complaint. We were struck by how crazily huge the menu was. That is usually a giveaway that the bulk of what the kitchen puts out will be at best middle of the road, with few winners. And after we ate, that was the consensus of the group: that there were no disasters among the seven meals ordered, but there were also no outright screaming winners. Among the things ordered tonight were a Reuben Sandwich, an open faced Tuna Melt, Grilled Salmon with rice pilaf and green beans, a Chicken Ranch Melt ("a grilled chicken breast topped with house made Ranch dressing, bacon, Monterey Jack cheese...on a toasted sourdough"), a Patty Melt ("topped with sautéed onions and Swiss cheese then sandwiched between two pieces of toasted pumpernickel"), and something called "The Bronco Burger" ("topped with BBQ sauce, crisp bacon, melted Cheddar cheese and finished with haystack onions"). We had several orders of Onion Rings as appetizers. Of those, only the Chicken Ranch Melt, the fries that accompanied several of the sandwiches, and the White Chicken Chili (which came with the Grilled Salmon dinner) got thumbs up. The remainder of the food (with maybe two exceptions, see below) was deemed as inoffensively bland and forgettable. My girl thought the onion rings, covered in an industrial coating of cornmeal and flour, were the most repulsive. I thought the supposedly home made Ranch dressing that accompanied the onion rings was an affront to ranches everywhere. Good Ranch dressing should have overtones of garlic paste, parsley, dill, chives, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, vinegar, paprika, cayenne, buttermilk, and the hot sauce of your choice (optional). Main Street's had none of this. Good Ranch dressing should convey a tang or a gentle bite. This was just a pearly white combo of toothless mayonnaise and sour cream and no more. Service was perfectly acceptable. Our server, Alyssa, took good care of us. We ordered no alcohol so I cannot judge how well the bartender makes a drink. In summary, it's a bar that makes and sends out bar food. Sometimes you might want to go to a bar to drink and eat anonymous food because the wait at the nearby Asian Fusion restaurant is too long. Maybe you want to watch from a dozen TV screens without being able to understand the content of any of them. Maybe the very phrase "Asian Fusion" is just too provocative relative to the food you stuff in your cheeks. Maybe you own a truck. In any of those cases, go the Main Street, order the Chicken Ranch Melt with fries, and get a bowl of the deliciously piquant White Chicken Chili. read more

I hate that they add the 4% service fee. Also on takeout, they add the tip. That being said, the Rueben is super good and I love the fries. I would like to eat in because they have a good beer selection, lots of televisions in the bar side and lots of specials. Wait staff did take good care of us to take our order and then getting us our food - still hot. read more

the food is always good and the staff are always friendly. they don't mind if we stay and talk. We always end up going back read more

I love this place! I was in town for the evening and needed to find a restaurant for supper. I had a long day, on a cold day (temps in the negative numbers) and it was late enough that this was the only place open. I was hesitant to venture in, mainly because I really didn't want 'bar food' for my last meal of the day. Imagine my surprise to find that they had a full menu to choose from! I was elated. I was greeted warmly and told I could sit anywhere I wanted. After working so long, I just wanted a quiet place to enjoy my meal. The pub area was nicely laid out and I saw various groups seated throughout. I also noticed a side room that was out and away from the pub area, and it seemed to be quieter in there. I sat at a booth and was immediately greeted again by the same server as when I first walked in the door, Hannah F. She took my drink order, "Hot tea, please", and left me to peruse the extensive menu. When she returned, I had a few selections picked out. after some discussion, I settled on the Beef Stroganoff with a side cup of chili. The chili came out in record time and since I hadn't eaten anything pretty much all day, the chili disappeared rather quickly. Soon, the main course arrived, and while I tried to back off on my appetite cravings, soon the stroganoff platter was clean as a whistle. While seated in the side dining room, I noticed a couple families dining in the same area. Also, out in the pub, the various patrons were really enjoying their visit time together. The whole atmosphere was upscale, family friendly, and very pleasant indeed. Hanna F. provided excellent service, and the other servers stayed pretty busy, as well. I bookmarked this business for repeat visits, and would recommend it to anyone. It is just a block north of the Mattawan Exit 66 off of I-94, very convenient to travelers and locals alike. read more

We really enjoy going to Main Street (especially Sunday and Monday when kids eat free)! Our food is always good and comes out rather quickly. You can count on seeing a ton of friendly faces from Mattawan schools so plan on talking to someone you know! Tonight we got salads. I had the shrimp avocado salad which had a decent amount of shrimp on it and the dressing had a nice bite to it! My husband had the avocado Cobb salad and it had a lot of bacon and avocado! The kids love their chicken fingers, I had to tell them to go light on the fries because usually their fry portions are huge! To finish I had the peanut butter high pie and it was delicious!!! read more

They always have good mixed drinks and great appetizers. I love when they offer the bowls, I usually have the Asian one. We haven't had dinner here in a while because they are always busy but hopefully soon, they have good burgers. read more

I went there with two others after a basketball game. While there I saw another group of people I knew who were also at the basketball game.

We just had a college football watch at the Mattawan site! The management was rude to our group because they did not like the team we were routing for! The food was good and Landon , our wait staff was very good and kind to us! Management should not greet you with any prejudice for their team it is bad for business! read more

Great local pub. Specials are great. Monday 5 dollar burger basket is hard to beat. 2 dollar Tuesday is also a local fave.

My favorite place close to home, always great specials and drinks are good too. Never had bad service

One hour to get our food on a Sunday the restaurant was not that busy. Our food came cold. And the burger was sooo cold and raw. Chicken strip dinner was cold and not all the sides were delivered. Till I mentioned that they were missing. Sad! But the beer was cold. read more

Ordered the California club flatbread. Nothing but cheese bacon and chicken on it. No avocado or onion or anything else that was supposed to he on it. Such a poor place to eat. Was pretty much empty to so no excuses for not making it correctly. Perhaps the chef was tipping back some of the bar profits? read more

The fries did it. So we were out looking for a nice place to eat out, so the three of us- my sister, my niece, and myself- decided to come by an old standby- Main St. Pub- and see what dinner might bring us. So we rolled on in and decided to take our chances. Coming into this place, the first thing you can tell is that it's pretty clean, and that it's pretty popular, too. There were many full tables! The server brought us a kids menu for my niece and some crayons, and let us go ahead and choose what we wanted. Two of us went with our usual stand-bys: my niece with the macaroni and cheese and french fries, and me with my usual go-to at any restaurant I've never been in- a cheeseburger (in this case, a Pub Burger with cheese, lettuce, pickle and tomato). My sister opted for the Pesto Chicken Club- also with fries. Honestly, we don't know what they sprinkle on the fries here- it's something that adds a little zing to them, it goes really well with ketchup, and it just makes you want to eat more of them. All three of us really liked the fries. Honestly? I'm thinking Main St. could just sell bottomless fries baskets and drinks. There's just something about them that makes me crave and want more of them. Our mains were, well... pretty good. My sister really liked her sandwich- she didn't have any complaints about it at all. My niece also ate all of her macaroni, and liked it very much, too. My cheeseburger was, well... I'd have to say it was okay. I mean, there were plenty of toppings on it, the pickle was good (even if it was only a pickle spear and not actually on the cheeseburger), but... I was really expecting a bit more out of the burger patty, the way they hyped it on the menu. "8 oz. fresh ground choice steak" ought to have more flavor than what it had, but... it'll fill you up nonetheless. Maybe next time I'll go for a sandwich or something else. We ended the meal with a brownie sundae that we all split, and there's not really much you can find fault with when it comes to hot fudge, whipped cream, ice cream and warm brownie. Honestly, in the end, though you can get a better burger elsewhere, this place is still worth a four to me. I was waffling between a three and a four, but like I said, my mind keeps going back to those fries. Come for the fries, stay for the sandwiches, and finish things off with brownies! read more

Burgers are always awesome and they have a great cocktail menu. I ended up trying The speckled chicken salad. It had a lot of toppings (roasted corn with Cajun seasoning, Bacon, cheese) and the chicken on top was warm. If you're looking for a good appetizer the pretzel bites and nachos are always a good choice. read more

I ordered a Peach Sangria from the summer drink menu and the server came back and said they can't make it because they are out of one of the liquors. So they recommended the Blackberry Lemonade Fizz from the summer drink menu. I ordered that and she brought me a drink and said "They were out of blackberries so they used strawberries instead." My husband ordered a perch Reuben which was supposed to have perch, coleslaw, Swiss, and thousand island dressing. His sandwich was missing Swiss and thousand island. We were there on a Monday and kids are supposed to eat for free, but our son's meal was on the bill. We had to ask for it to be taken off. My son's meal was also supposed to come with a sundae and it didn't. Woof, it was a bit of a mess of an experience but the server was very friendly and the sweet potato fries were very good. read more

Our group experience here was awful. Other than the food being decent, there was nothing good about this place. Our server either was new or just awful. She messed up multiple things, didn't bring us drinks that we asked for at all, and was slow and confused. She messed up my friend's drink order, brought him a new one, and it was exactly the same as the one she had messed up. The manager came to our table multiple times to ask us how our drinks were, how our food was, and once to just chat. It was very overwhelming and out of place. The general crowd in there was not my cup of tea. I had to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke to get in the door, and the place seemed sketchy in general. However, I will say the fried pickles were good. read more

Mattawan restaurant has a very rude manager. I was shorted on my online order and when I called the manager didn't act like she wanted to refund me any money. I stated that I would write a bad review and she said she didn't take kindly to threats. Very bad customer relations. read more

I don't like writing reviews, but my recent experience caused me to think this is necessary. Friday March 3, 2023 I placed a takeout order online at 5:05pm with a requested pickup time of 6:15pm. I arrived at 6:10pm and found the restaurant packed. After waiting almost ten minutes to get someone to check on my order I was told it wasn't ready. So I waited for another then minutes before I asked a manager about my order. He said, "Well we're busy." I replied, "yes I can see that, but I ordered this over an hour ago." And he said, "well, we're packed." I replied, "maybe I won't do this again." He replied, "okay." No apology, just irritation. I've been a pretty regular customer, but this really soured me on this restaurant. Hopefully someone will address this attitude by your staff. I finally got my order at 6:35pm, which suggests it wasn't even started until I arrived at 6:15. read more

It was late we were hungry and were visiting the town. Our wait staff and i mean 4 of them from beginning to end was interesting to say the least.

Your staff need serious work. Sorry. read more

This place used to be great... But today, I thought I'd spoil the family a little bit with a takeout order. Spent $65 dollars and was sorely disappointed by what I ended up with when I arrived home. Burnt pickle fries Oily, burned marinara sauce 2 burgers that didn't even have cheese on them. One of them so raw it was bloody and we asked for med/well. The steak and mushroom pasta looked like it had been sitting for a long time, was cold and the steak was like shoe leather... and we'd asked for mid/rare. Doubt I'll be heading back here any time soon. read more

I've eaten st their restaurant in Kalamazoo and I would have thought it would be comparable. Not at all Six of us sat down because the restaurant we wanted to eat at was closed for vacation Granted we knew we were not entering a 3 star restaurant but this was bad all the way around. Ordered hamburger overcomes and forgot the cheese ordered clams but silly me wasn't aware that they served Clam Strips ugh nicely overdone and not edible and it just goes on and on We took the hamburger home for the dog and left the rest for the garbage can read more

Closing the kitchen at 10pm on a Friday night after a homecoming Football game? Wow. Not impressed that the server seemed very excited to let us know that the kitchen was closed right when we walked in, not impressed read more

It's our "go to" when we want to run out for a quick bite. Staff is friendly and food is always great.

A popular spot in Mattawan. The restaurant has too sides - the bar and the dining room. Both are fairly large and you see a lot of families in there. We always sit in the bar area. The menu is extensive. This past Thursday, we met there for a dinner. Our waiter was absolutely wonderful. He had a sense of humor, knowledgeable, observant, and just a super nice guy. Thursday night is their Turkey Special for $9.99. You can't beat the price for a complete turkey dinner with mash potatoes, stuffing, vegetable, and bread. D was stuffed by the time he finished his large portion plate. If I am hungry, which I was, I always order their meatloaf at $10.99. First of all, even though it is butt of jokes, meatloaf is one of my favorite comfort foods. Main Street does a fair job with their meat loaf. The dinner comes with 3 slices, covered in gravy, mashed potatoes with gravy, vegetable (corn was the veggie of the day), and 2 slices of Texas toast. I ate what I could and had a wonderful lunch the next day with the leftovers. The restaurant now has handheld devices so the waiter can take your card right at the table. I really like this feature - less waiting and a sense of security. read more

Main St use to be my go to bar in Kalamazoo. I decided to try the one that's in Mattawan. I was disappointed in the service and food. Out of three visits, I've only had one good experience with service. I love trying every restaurant's burgers, and everytime I ordered the burger it was overcooked and not to the specification I had asked for (medium). My girlfriend ordered other various dishes, she didn't get one thing that she thoroughly enjoyed. I don't know if its management or that ive become more picky over the years . But I'll probably never go back. read more

We came in on a Thursday night with a party of 9. The service was very attentive and everyone enjoyed their food. There's a lot of options on the menu. The high school boys were in baseball uniforms and were given free brownie sundaes. read more

3 WINGS.... 3 MEASLY WINGS.... Was what we got when we ordered the 'Pick Any 2' combo with fried pickles. To add insult to injury, these were three of the tiniest, saddest looking wings you've ever seen. I've seen pigeons with bigger limbs than this. Plus, the wings inexplicably came without any buffalo sauce on them which made them look like pale and corpse-like. To wash down this feast I ordered a "pint of Guinness" (exact words). What arrived was a glass of Guinness (in the true Irish sense of the word) which meant exactly 8oz. It was like drinking beer out of a juice cup....for $5. The only thing keeping this review at two stars instead of one is that the fried pickles were excellent. For the life of me, I don't know how this place has grown to over a dozen locations. read more

Today the food and service was great! We come here a lot after events at Mattawan High School with several students and parents and unfortunately we've come to expect bad/slow service...however this time it was outstanding! Lindy, the bartender was amazing! She had the manager help her cover the bar she came out from behind the bar and personally waited on the entire lacrosse team and the parents and the service and a food was great!!!! read more

My family, friends, teammates, cast mates, and I have all been coming here for years. I haven't been back in over a year since I'm no longer living in Southwest Michigan, so maybe things have changed, but it was usually a place for celebrations such as opening night after-party, graduating from high school, winning a sports match, someone's birthday, etc. It must be because they have a nice little room cut-off from the main seating for big groups like that. And onto the food! Everything I've ever had here satisfied me and left me with no complaints. They have your basic traditional American fare consisting of burgers, sandwiches, wraps, pasta, etc., but what's even better is that they have a wide variety of all these foods at low prices. They've got 10 different salads including a decadent Spinach, Chicken & Apple Salad, 12 different wraps including my all-time favorite Ranch Fritter Wrap "Buffalo Style", 29 different appetizers including their Pub Nachos Supreme (which let me be honest...you [and a friend] don't really need an entree after eating this. Yeah, it's freakin' huge!), 12 different burgers (which can always be substituted with a chicken burger if you'd like) including their Cabo Beach Burger which is topped with mouthwatering bacon, avocado, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle ranch (Argh! Now I want one so bad. I shouldn't write reviews when I'm hungry and far away from the restaurant I'm reviewing.), 14 different sandwiches including a Pretzel Bun Sandwich which can be topped with your choice of ham or turkey, American cheese, lettuce and tomato, and so many more other dishes that you should just go to their website at https://www.mainstpub.com to see the rest of the menu. So yeah, that's the Main Street Pub in all it's super-nerd-foodie glory. I hope I helped anyone out who was thinking about eating here and I also hope you have a great meal wherever you go! P.S. You can also add a brownie sundae to your order for only $2.99! read more

I have eaten here many times. I have had good service 90 percent of the time. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat with good size portions, and prices that won't leave you looking for tip money under the sit of your car, then look no further. I recommend the nachos or the bbq chicken tender wrap. read more

Main Street Bar is just around the corner from where I live yet it's one of the last choices as far as I'm concerned. Tonight emphasized why. Both my husband and I ordered a burger. I ordered a medium rare highwayman, my husband ordered a medium Kansas City burger no onion. The patties were switched, I received no onion. He had a couple big slices of onion on his. When Gina, the manager came over. Heard what happened. Offered dessert which we declined. We got a "sorry" and walked off to get my beer. Really, she could careless. When you get mediocre food and mediocre service you just don't need to go. I told my waitress we were going to review on Yelp . As we were checking out, our waitress told us Gina took $5 off. Whatever so disappointed. I guess we will go to McGillians next time I love their Reuben . read more

5 out of 5? You're as shocked as I am. With a generic sounding place like this, you'd expect plain bar food and some drinks - but their food is pretty outstanding. I've been about 3 times and I usually get a different burger, and each time the burger and fries are excellent. My friend ordered a country fried steak and it looked like exactly like what you'd expect, but the proportions were generous. I haven't been too adventurous with my eating, but their burgers are very good every single time - but I would highly recommend not filling up and getting. their. dessert. Seriously, I am never impressed by desserts from restaurants, as most of them are usually some basic reheated lava cake or basic chocolate chip cookie with a scoup of deans ice-cream usually - but their desserts are amazing. Their selection changes which can sometimes be disappointing, but they had an Irish chocolate cheesecake of the likes I have never had at a restaurant, especially a chain restaurant. Pleasantly surprised. A lot of people said the service was to be desired, but I haven't really noticed too much, though it does look to get quite busy. read more

Menu featured a dozen or so different burgers, but they used mediocre at best frozen burger patties, so we were overall less than impressed by the burgers. The clam strips were pretty good, and I like their fries though, so I guess the food is hit or miss. Our waiter was terrible though. We were not offered or brought drink refills except one time when we asked for refills, despite having mostly finished our drinks by the time he took our food order. He also took forever to take our drink order or even approach our table, and even longer to come back for our food order. Then he charged us to upgrade the dessert that was supposed to be free with the kids meal, despite us only asking for the free sundae. Apparently we drew the short straw on wait staff though, because the waitress at the next table seemed to be great and was even telling the kids at her table that she weighted their desserts to be sure they were exactly the same. read more

Ordered to go and all the food was good. Fries on the other hand were soggy and not crispy. Kinda gross to be exact. Didn't get barley any with each order and they were cold and soggy. The main food was still really warm and tasted great. Husband loved the loaded burrito and my cougar wrap was great. And loved that we got 5 strips with the chicken tender for our son. But he loves fries and he wouldn't even eat the fries because they were that bad. The staff was very welcoming when we showed up. Really wish the fries were very crispy. So for that I gave a 4 star. If the fries weren't soggy and nasty I would of gave a 5. read more

This place is close to home so we've been here plenty. First off the place is big and seating is always readily available. The inside has been remodeled in the last few years and is very nice. Two seating areas: bar area with lots of TVs, mostly high top tables with some booths, also a partitioned off dining area as well. Service is always quick, food always good, prices are very reasonable. Good daily specials and seasonal drink specials. Kids eat free Sunday and Monday with adult entree purchase. read more
