    Excellent food, served quickly with friendly service. We would go back! Definitely the hometown cafe vibe- which we like. Prices were reasonable as well.

    Warm, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of seating...

    Vacationing in the Stillwater area and wanted to find a nice breakfast spot on a beautiful Saturday morning. Check all the "highly rated" places in town and found all of them to be closed at 10:00 a.m.!! Boy are we glad that they were closed... This gem had been open since 6:30 and was not crowded at all. Warm, welcoming atmosphere and extremely friendly service. And the food...Ah the food. I had one of the best ham and cheese omelettes of any that I have had across the country. My girlfriend had the garden omelette that she enjoyed very much. Coffee was excellent...perfectly brewed. What more could you ask for in a breakfast/brunch place. Forget those other trendy places that have the great reviews...they might not even be open!! I highly recommend The Main Cafe for those visiting the Stillwater area.

    Stillwater in one of my favorite towns in Minnesota, but I did never notice this Cafe, well we decide to come and guess what? Ooooh la-la...!!! Exactly what I was expecting, HOME MADE FOOD..!!. Their food is very good and portion very good, I'm happy we found this Cafe because I love breakfast. It was a great experience so I have to recommend this place and give them 5 stars Because the food, customer service, clean and they have home made food. Keep it up, keep cooking and keep making people happy.

    Great food and service. I had a little entree envy when I smelled the French toast, I didn't have it but I was wishing I did.

    Come here for the breakfast and you will not be disappointed. This place has the feel of an old time small town cafe.

    Dion the bartender was awesome and the food was perfect and I love the pinball game it was very coolread more

    Stopped in for a quick lunch and sat at the bar which, should support the quick lunch goal -…read morehowever, service was surprisingly slow. It wasn't all that busy, roughly three staff members in and out behind the bar inclusive of an employee who was working on a sangria mix? Pre made cocktail mix? Not sure but he was putting something together the majority of the time I was in. I digress. It wasn't just myself and guest who experienced the slow service, there was another group at the end of the bar that had to ask multiple times for their tab to multiple employees. On to the food: -I went with the Royale Smash Burger, which was quite tasty and honestly, the seasoning of the burger and the cheese stood so strong on their own I wish I didn't have the tomato and pickles in hindsight. Really great burger! -the side fries were solid and seasoned perfectly! -the onion rings we split was surprisingly the opposite. No real taste to the batter, came out not super hot, and really soggy. The exact opposite of the side fries and honestly, wish we'd skipped on them. Overall, the service kind of killed the experience, the burger was solid, and I'd skip the onion rings. There's some decent spots in Stillwater and this place always seems super busy this was the first chance I had to stop in and... not sure with the other options I'd jump to go back. Perhaps it was just an off service/off afternoon?
