Great local spot. Food has been hit or miss lately, but the staff is phenomenal. Brunch is great, but the home fries leave a lot to be desired. Jazzy fries and crab dip are favorites on my family. My go to meals are the steak tacos. The quesadillas are delicious as well. Wings, steak and cheese sub and burgers are all things I recommend. read more

Please note, this review is only for the party space and catering food/staff. I came here this weekend for a bridal shower. The private party area is a nice size for a moderately sized gathering. Good natural lighting. Our party had two long tables for the guests, a gift table, a food table and a smaller table for the desert if that helps give an idea of size. The food served was delicious but more importantly the staff was sweet and very attentive. Super polite and available to the guests when needed for drink refills. Food was refilled promptly. If I had to throw an event, I would be very pleased to hold it here. Since I did not throw it, I am not able to give info on price but I did hear the hostess mention it was reasonable. read more

Great salads. Great sandwiches. Cream of Crab soup stands up to the Baltimore or Annapolis soups. Crab cake is mostly crab and little filler. Daily specials are worth trying such as loaded potato salad. read more

First time here! Came on a Saturday during valentines weekend. Was mildly busy with an assortment of people. Waiter was friendly and efficient. Started off with the crab dip and it was delicious, split between 2 people but finished it off in no time, hence no picture! Filet cooked M w potatoes and Caesar. Everything was delicious. Ceaser dressing was rich and tangy. Also had a white ale with an orange slice.. similar to a blue moon but not as heavy. Will definitely be back to try the burgers and sweet potato fries. read more

The Main Cup - Medium Filet with Mashed potatoes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Middletown, Maryland

If you're looking for a local's advice, I can undoubtedly say that The Main Cup is a quality restaurant with superior service and food. I have lived in Middletown my entire life and this will always be one of my favorite places to eat. The owner, Bob, is a wonderful person and is often found socializing with customers and making sure the dining experience is outstanding. The waitstaff is just as friendly and approachable; I have never had an unpleasant experience with any of the waiters or waitresses. I have tried several different dishes on the menu. First, I strongly recommend trying their crab dip as an appetizer. It is served with warm pita bread and was actually ranked on Buzzfeed as one of the best restaurants to order crab! Second, I would also recommend their Sunday brunch. My most recent visit was for brunch and I was impressed with the western omelette (ham, spinach, tomatoes, and Swiss cheese) served with potatoes or fruit. Their mimosas were wonderful and cost $20 per carafe. They also have screwdrivers, bloody Mary's, and sangria available. If you're looking for a place with a friendly waitstaff and excellent food, visit The Main Cup and you will not be disappointed! read more

Not always the best service or the fastest but their food is always on point. They source locally and their beef is delicious. Very nice to have such a great little restaurant in Middletown. read more

Food and service is alright but you need to be careful about the prices. Online website prices are not kept up with their in restaurant menu prices. They did adjust my takeout order when I showed them the price quoted on their online menu. read more

Great service, great food, and they have great craft beers on tap. The spinach dip is a must try. They generally have good cocktails on special too. read more

Good burgers and cheese fries. Everything else we've tried was just ok including the mixed drinks. Nice outdoor patio. Service is not consistent. All in all I guess it's a decent place to eat if you really don't want to leave Middletown. read more

The food and service are fantastic. Best place in Middletown and Boonsboro to grab a burger and a beer.

A definite will repeat. Entrance to the restaurant is somewhat hidden but great patio sitting and the same inside which is a good amount of space. Food - Burgers, Fish n Chips, and MD State cake are great. Owner/manager was checking every table to see if anything was missing or needed. Will definitely be back . read more

This place has done a really great job with their business. Their location is prime for the Middletown community, but they didn't rest on their laurels... they've worked hard on a great atmosphere, menu, and staff. I've had a majority of the items on their menu, and never been disappointed. I didn't give them the 5th star because, if you don't pick your times right, your experience is severely impacted by the volume of people they try to fit in their restaurant. They say rooms can hold more than they really can, and their servers get overwhelmed and the place becomes overwhelmingly loud. Also, their "dinner" menu leaves something to be desired. Great sandwiches, dips, and appetizers, but if you're looking for a dinner entree, find a different restaurant. read more

Always the best. Service and quality food. We always take guests there and they love it. Highly recommend.

You will never be disappointed here! They have great food large selection you can order anything day or night off the menu! Service is exceptional- friendly - local kids and family's that love their jobs and you can tell - they always go above and beyond! Fast service - drinks come out quickly and they even know how to make a gin gimlet with a punch!! The Main Cup best in Middletown Maryland read more

They continue to impress. Always great knowledgeable service. They have more gluten free items. We ordered the crab dip w/ GF pita. Outstanding. read more

Walking up to the restaurant I loved the old downtown feel and that they have kept the old signs. However, I was not able to find the front door as easily which was on the side of the building. None the less the restaurant is beautiful I love the decor. My boyfriend and I both ordered drinks, crab dip and the NY Strip Steak. The crab dip was creamy and delicious, the house salads were fresh with homemade ranch dressing. My steak was cooked medium rare with redskins potatoes and the seasoning was great! My boyfriend ordered his steak rare and got medium. They got it right the with the second steak which they brought out fast and it was delicious! We loved the place and will definitely go back. Everything was delicious! read more

The best in town consistently. Great staff and food, we love it here. Highly recommend.

I like the atmosphere, the service is always fast and friendly. The beer, wine, and mixed drinks selection are also good. I mostly visit for a couple libations. I have had the appetizers 5 times there since they opened and have never been impressed with any of them. I will try an entree someday, though. read more

I visited The Main Cup on a Saturday night on a friends recommendation and man am I glad that I did. Called ahead and made a reservation for a party of 8. Our server was Sarah, she was awesome. Friendly and very attentive, never an empty cup on o our table. Food was great and the environment was awesome. Definitely recommend you visit! read more

I love the staff! They are always happy to see you. The food is very good and the fact that they buy locally is a huge deal to me!

This place has a great atmosphere, delicious food, and great service. Best fried pickles I've ever had! I highly recommend!

This is a great place! Incredible ahi starter and tempura green beans. VALERIE ROCKS! She was not only a terrific server, she gave great local recommendations for sights to see. The Smith Island Cake was great but for me, the stars were the cocktails! Jalapeño margarita and blackberry bourbon aide! Yum yum yum!!! read more

This place is amazing, great food ( tacos were the mouth watering especially with the Mexican ranch)! The server and hostess have great Hospitality and greet you like family would! read more

I had the calamari as an appetizer and the balsamic grilled salmon. Both were very good, but the plate of calamari was huge (make sure you have a big enough party to share it with!). The salmon was very large, green beans were good, and the mashed potatoes weren't too buttery but slightly chunky. Portion sizes of all meals in my party were pretty good and not too excessive. Service was fairly quick as well. read more

If you'd like to wait 45 minutes for a burned sandwich, then get berated by a lying "bartender" then please come eat here.

Great place for a GNO, dinner with the family and the bar is a great place to eat a quick lunch or meet a friend for an impromptu evening drink. The food is consistently good. The waitstaff is nice, attentive and make great recommendations! read more

I love this place! My aunt and uncle live in town and whenever I come to visit I look forward to coming here. For them it's a weekly visit! I love the Cajun penne pasta there. Used to be on the menu but they took it off however they always still make it for me and it's amazing. I also love their seared ahi Tuna (which I added on my pasta). The fried green beans app is delicious. Great beer wine and cocktail list. Key lime pie martini is my fav. Also a great petite Syrah on the menu. For dessert definitely the tres leeches cake or the flourless chocolate torte. Very nice staff, great atmosphere. Decent amount of parking, sometimes the lot is full and you need to park down the street. read more

This is a nice local place to have a meal and you will not be disappointed. They have a patio which is very nice and dog-friendly. The only issue we had, if you eat outside to make sure someone knows you are there, it took a while to get a server. They serve a salmon strawberry salad which is a signature item for them, The crab salad is very good too, the crab portions are very generous, As you can see in the photo the greens and vegetables are very fresh. We ordered chips and guacamole which is made in house and very fresh and lightly spicy. For some reason, they make a killer ice tea. read more

Wonderful place to grab a quick bite to eat! I have very much enjoyed coming here with my family over the years!

Great atmosphere and outdoor seating. Don't forget to try the martinis--my favorites by far are here. Creamsicle & Key Lime-the best!

Great place, great service. Mahi tacos were the best. Totally didn't expect that at a typical American bar but they were great. They're tough to spot in town but if your reading this than you'll be able to get to it. Definitely interested in coming back for something else and try something else. The prices are reasonable. They have a nice outdoor seating area and stacked bar. Right next to it to there's a hallway that takes you to a more private coffee shop area. Check them out. read more

Food and drinks vary widely in quality. After a poor experience we asked to see the manager who was rude. They need to provide a more consistent experience. read more

Such a cute place. We stopped on our way camping and had a nice dinner and enough leftover pizza for breakfast the next morning. Nice wine list and great service. read more

I really wanted to rate this place higher. Decor is beautiful but the service was poor and the food was average. Hash browns are chopped shoestring fries, deep-fried and served with salt (chopped up french fries). The portion is a lot bigger at mountain view diner down the road. Realizing that service varies at restaurants, we had to ask for silverware and napkins, had to ask for water and once food was served the waiter never came back and we had to flag him down to ask for the check. read more
