I visited here on a Monday for lunch and it was as quiet as could be. We asked if we could sit outside (side patio) and were seated right away. Our waitress brought over menus and asked for drink orders shortly thereafter, and also filled us in on their monthly specials. After taking a look at the menu, their wraps caught my eye. I ended up going for the Southwest chicken wrap, which came with grilled chicken tossed in buffalo ranch sauce, lettuce, and tomato. It was absolutely delicious. The wraps come with a side, so I went with the homemade coleslaw. My friend got the buffalo chicken wrap (made with chicken tenders) and that was also very good. Overall, great food and service. The only thing I didn't like was that there a ton of flies outside. I wish they had one of those UV light bug traps so clients could eat in peace. read more

While traveling in the Washington D.C. area we decided to try this neighborhood pub for dinner. We could sit inside or outside. We sat inside and the service was quick. I had a mimosa that was strong and delicious. We split a turkey wrap with tater tots. The wrap was fresh and tasty. There was a massive amount of tater tots! My husband loved the rich beefy flavor of his French onion soup. We also split a chocolate peanut butter cake which was also amazing. We will definitely come back if in the area. read more

Decided to swing by here for lunch as a colleague recommended this spot. I got the French Dip ($16) and it came out in about 15 minutes. The bread was crispy and the steak and cheese on it was also good. The au jus was beefy and helped add extra flavor to the sub. I was happy with the portion size where it filled me up without feeling to bloated. Staff was very friendly. Overall a good experience that I would recommend checking out.

As you can see from my past three reviews dating back to 2022 this is one of my local favorites for good quality local pub cuisine. I will summarize my two most recent visits here for dinner. When my family of four firstly arrived for dinner we were lucky to score a table outside to the left of the main restaurant because the weather here in August was very nice. I enjoyed my Rosemary old-fashioned with Buffalo Trace, angostura bitters, homemade rosemary simple syrup, Luxardo cherry and orange slice for $14. I also enjoyed my tuna tartare with ahi tuna rolled in an Asian infused sauce, stacked on diced avocado and served with egg roll wrappers for $19. I ended my dinner with my favorite pint of draft Guinness for $9.50. See my pics. My total bill was $154 excluding gratuity. Tegan O. served us very well. We returned here again for dinner with my family of five on Sunday. The place was not packed so we sat at a table 998 for five in the middle. I started with a Maker's Mark Manhattan for $14 and ended my dinner with a draft Guinness for $9.50. I enjoyed my homemade chicken and sausage gumbo with a round mound of white rice sitting on top of the gumbo for $19. I love their seasonal gumbo, which I enjoyed a couple of times last Fall/Winter as well. My total bill was $205 excluding gratuity. Robert F. served us very well as usual. We will continue to return here for dinner, especially my favorite gumbo. read more

Went to Main Street Pub for the first time yesterday. It's in beautiful downtown Clifton by the railroad. They have a general store right at the front of the pub. Seating area in the front and on the side of the restaurant. We wanted to sit outside but since there was a wait we decided to sit inside. The service was very good, the food was very good also. We ordered boneless chicken wings, The Greek chicken wrap , chicken Caesar Wrap and Fish and Chips. Everyone was happy with their meal. My only complaint is that the restaurant wasn't as clean as it should be. I hope the management take that into consideration . read more

Yummy brunch on a nice Sunday morning with my husband and our special needs son. The service was extraordinary and very accommodating for us. Outside seating was pleasant, although the flies and bees were plentiful and a bit too much while eating. I enjoyed the pub omelette with potatoes and sourdough toast. My husband loved the corned beef and hash. Our son had the basic breakfast with eggs and extra bacon. The fresh fruit was so good. We loved it. read more

I've actually never eaten in the Clifton area cause I felt like the parking would be ridiculous if it was busy which lowkey it was. Good thing about this restaurant was it's across from a church parking lot as well as some parking availability behind the spot. I met up with some friends here and holy cow, that Mac and cheese burger was so bomb with a side of sweet potato fries. The fish tacos were amazeballs too, it was very flavorful with a small kick of spicy , which personally I enjoyed. I would like to add that our waitor was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of. I will be coming back here SOON read more

The Main Street Pub is in a charming green building by the railroad tracks in downtown Clifton. For years the building used to house the Clifton Store, where I bought candy when I could sneak away from home. Today, there is an adorable little pub in the building serving upscale sandwiches and beverages. There are a dozen or so tables and two more outside the front door. We were seated quickly by Katie, who was also our server. A Crabcakes sandwich was one of the July specials, made with fresh lump crab cake. The sandwich was served with lettuce, tomato and an aioli sauce. It was absolutely delicious. The beer battered fries were also wonderful and crispy. I had a cup of the Gazpacho soup, which was refreshing and delicious on a hot summer day. The food is a hit in my book. Katie was attentive and friendly. There is limited street parking and some on the side of the building. I think you could sit outside with a dog. I recommend highly if you're in the area. read more

I specifically ordered a rare hamburger and it came out very much well cooked and overdone . I don't understand when this happens and have lost faith in this restaurant which used to be a favorite. read more

The restaurant is a quaint little place with a lot of Caracter. The staff was so friendly and helpful . The $17 Hamburger not so good :( the bread was dry, the meat was dry , there was any kind of sauce like mustard , mayo or letup that would have made it more enjoyable . sorry to have to write this , but maybe because of reviews like these , they can improve their food . I defiantly would go back , I mean where can you sit outside , watch people go by and see the train go by right in front of you , you just cant buy that . Its an experience especially for kids . read more

Total disaster; rude server, cold/stale beef stew and mash potatoes that were hard and looked like they had been sitting out all day with the burner turned off. Totally unappetizing. Charged credit card fee when I paid cash. No apology or check on us while they did so repeatedly for other tables. And no offer to replace the order or choose something else. In retrospect, glad they didn't. Frustrating because when I placed our order I explicitly asked if my stew could be very hot. Worse the server tried to tell me the lukewarm food was steaming. Not a good feeling to implicitly be called a liar. Seems only locals are welcome. The front desk staff asked if I wanted to speak to Kevin. I said no thanks but left my number as she requested, to share my experience both good and bad. He called and said we don't need customers like you. And that the rude server told him not to bother to talk with me. Wow! And then he started texting me that I am not welcome. Don't worry my friend and I will never be back. Had to block him for continuing to harass and text me. read more

We came here on Saturday night. It was full but they told us that we could go outside to the patio. It was cold but there was a large live fire. Also the server gave us blankets. The service was a little slow but they were also crowded. The workers were nice and friendly. Our food was delicious. We ordered breaded pickles appetizer. We ordered avocado bacon burger, Mac and cheese burger, and Main Street burger. It was all very good. They had good Christmas decorations and nice Christmas music playing. I highly recommend coming here. It was good. Maybe next sit inside... read more

I've been going to the Pub for over 10 years. It's not only some of the best pub food I've ever had in my life, it's some of the best food I've had in the area. Service is always 10/10. You can tell they actually care about their product and the customer experience. Family friendly, laid back, local atmosphere that suits all walks of life. 10/10 read more

Love little hole-in-the walls like this little cafe tucked in a former gas station with a convenience store and a shop that sells merch. Visited early evening and grabbed a table in the back. Service was really warm! Shared the nachos and had the turkey melt with fries. Everything was delicious! I'd return again and maybe save room for ice cream at Petersen's next door! read more

This is solely for management the lady working today is rude, Nasty and angry for no reason. My wife and I came in for a bite and a beer my wife showed her drivers license from Argentina and I showed her mine from here. She refused to serve us drinks.

We got seated inside right away--perfect timing as the place quickly filled up! Our server was attentive despite the rush. I tried their turkey sandwich (deli-style, not roasted) but the real star was the off-menu avocado burger. Though cooked medium-well instead of medium-rare, it was juicy and flavorful. The crispy tots were perfect! My only regret? Not photographing that gorgeous burger--it tasted as amazing as it looked! Verdict: Definitely returning to explore more menu items. Fast, tasty, and lives up to the hype! read more

Nice place for sandwiches, great chili and beers, including locals. Our ho to place for a quick bite in Clifton.

I love the ambiance of a pub in the heart of the little town that is Clifton. The old Texaco sign out front is a great touch of what used to be of the quaint storefront. while there isn't a dedicated parking lot for the Main Street Pub, there is a good amount of parking around the town. They serve pretty standard pub food. My usual go-to is the Main Street Burger with tater tots which I have loved every single time. Burgers are my favorite, and Main Street Pub is definitely one of my favorite spots for a burger. The pub club is also really good and filling for a typical club sandwich. Overall, great food and great service. Definitely a must try in Clifton! read more

Pub has made some great changes recently. Thank you Kevin. Staff is outstanding. Guinness stew is AWESOME.

Absolutely love the main street pub however, the entertainment tonight was really horrible.. Patrick Wray is not a good bet... and personally, I would never come back to see him again.. what a disappointment; the entertainment is generally good. read more

Located in downtown Clifton, this quaint area with a train track brings you into a nice small town area with hidden gems like Peterson's ice cream only open in the summer or this pub that doubles as a market. I came in for lunch and got the Mac burger which is your typical angus beef burger, and it hit the spot. There's also the Mac and cheese burger I have yet to try. The portion sizes were large but filling and with any burgers, you can your choice of sides, I chose tater tots. The last time I was here I got calamari to start us off and It wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I wouldn't recommend it. Instead of rings it was squares, I wished I took a snapshot for you. read more

Great atmosphere and good service. Basic bar food but all done to perfection. Decent beer selection.

I wanted a place with really good burgers after healing from my wisdom teeth. I found this place, which I almost missed since it has a little convenience store in front. I came here based on the reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. I got the Katie burger, which had onion rings! I do think the rings could've been crisper, but it was gloriously covered in cheese that I didn't mind too much. The fries were good and fresh! I also ordered the raspberry brownie sundae. It was very delicious, and they have a generous ice cream scoop for you too! When I went, the weather was gorgeous outside so it was nice to take advantage of their cute outdoor patio read more

When I first walked in, the smell of grease and fried food smacked me in the face. My instant thoughts were that my tummy was going to hate me after eating here. The strong aroma of greasy pub food disappeared as soon as we walked passed the front area. We headed out to the back patio which was just adorable. The menu is impressive offering a large variety of dishes depending on your mood. There are gourmet dishes, healthy options, typical greasy pub food, fish, burgers, salads, wraps, steaks...and it all looked delicious. I settled on the Totchos from the breakfast menu. Crispy golden tater tots topped with bacon, sausage, peppers, a sunny side up egg, finished up with a dab of sour cream. Ohhhh goodness. It was delicious. Obviously I went with a greasier option, but I still felt like it was made by a gourmet chef. The sausage was perfectly flavored, the light drizzling of sour cream was just the perfect amount. Despite my thoughts based on the initial grease smell, I was totally surprised. The food was well made, not just tossed into a fryer and thrown onto a plate. The ambiance was cute, and the service was fast. I can see myself becoming a regular. read more
