Great place. Love the chicken Normandy and strawberry pretzel. Unique building was train station, post office and jail. Worth a visit. Great service and great patio.

Main Street Cafe is a nice lunch spot. This is where I took for Maid of Honor for lunch to give her a nice gift and say thank you for all the hard work that she put into my special day. The staff is very friendly and the food is good. We had Mint Tea to start off with to drink. I ordered the Poulet de Normandie and she ordered the Georgia Chicken. Both were really good. My meal could had used a tad bit more seasoning but overall it was good. The Pretzel Salad was also good. It was my first time trying it. Overall I would recommend stopping by Main Street Cafe for a nice lunch.

Selected today by AL.com as the best restaurant for a business lunch in Madison County! Just ahead of Commerce Kitchen, and 1892 East. With this new-found fame, reservations are recommended for parties of five or more. (I don't think they take reservations for groups less than five -- so bring your friends!). They were already pretty busy, located in historic downtown Madison. Our stuffed pork loin lunch today was very good. Don't come here expecting haute cuisine. It's more like Mom's home cooking, but Madison folks like it pretty well.

Very nice Valentines Dinner. Had Shrimp Trio with fried, coconut, and shrimp scampi (6 of each). Nice flavor and pineapple sauce was perfect with coconut shrimp. My wife had chicken breast stuffed with Brie and balsamic onions also delicious. Would recommend this to anyone. Wish they were open for dinner more often.

Great place for lunch, good food, good quite atmosphere reasonable prices and nice customer service. Located in historic downtown Madison, cute boutiques to check out also in the area.

Good place for a lunch that is not your usual "sandwich from a chain". Restaurant is located in the old civic hall and jail. At lunch time it has an English tea room feel to it, although a little noisier since the interior walls reflect sound. Sandwiches are great. Huge. But great. The Reuben has an authentic flavor to it. The fries are solid and natural. Service, which is fast and friendly at lunch, is a bonus.

I love Main Street and it isn't just because I know the owners! I don't get there as often as I'd like since I don't get out for lunch a lot but everything I've had from Main Street is delicious. I could make a meal out of their squash casserole. Their meatloaf is delicious too! I've been watching what I eat so I haven't had their fantastic desserts but it is hard not to order anything they have with chocolate in it!! :)

This is a popular lunch spot (in fact they are only open for lunch), with sort of a "ladies tea room" feel (quiches, soup and salad, chicken and tuna salads, etc.) but it's good. The restaurant has been there 12+ years and it would be nice to have the interior updated a little bit. I've probably eaten there 6 times and the service is always good, the food just fine, and the prices reasonable. I just prefer a more modern menu (maybe ahi tuna for an appetizer, or an ahi salad) or just change the menu every now and then and I think this restaurant would benefit from an interior "face lift." If you want to support a local restaurant (and yes the building was the city of Madison's third town hall and housed two jail cells, which are IN this building, and yes, it's located right by railroad tracks), especially for a fairly light "southern-ish" lunch, try Main Street Cafe. I hope you enjoy it!

How cute is this place?! I went here with my family for a light lunch and we all ordered salads. The portions were huge and the atmosphere was really nice out on the patio. The salads were fresh and were brought out really quickly. The service was really good and we decided to order a couple of slices of the banana bread to take home with us. The server indicated that it would be much more economical to just buy a loaf to bring home (I think it was $6 for the entire loaf versus $.50 per slice) so we took her advice. The loaf was huge and she was so right! It was seriously the best banana bread I think I've ever had-- and I'm pretty tough when it comes to reviewing baked goods. It was moist and delicious with big walnut chunks throughout the loaf. We had enough to last us about 4 days at home. I also brought home a piece of Coca Cola cake and it was amazing as well. I will definitely be back to this little hidden gem. After we ate we walked across the street to the cute antique shops and home stores. I love this area.

Just thinking about eating at Main Street Cafe makes my tummy growl. After being dazzled by the southern-with-a-modern-twist decor (where did they get those chandeliers?), I didn't even bother to peruse the menu when I heard they had a BBQ brisket on special. I was like - hook me up, stat, and give me some of that sweet mint tea, which inexplicably contains OJ, while you're at it. Bestie Amy insists they have fresh, tasty salads and her Oriental Chix salad with dressing on the side looked very good, so maybe I'll weigh in on that next time. **Tip: save yourself some time and ask up front for extra bbq sauce on your brisket, which is high on the sweet factor and low on the vinegar factor. My meat came out well done, which I wasn't super happy about, but it was surprisingly moist. Potato salad? Yellow, smooth, and full of crunchy things, and portion is generous. Beans? Standard. Bread? I was too full to eat this. **Tip: Save room for dessert. Our server must have listed 15 different options for cakes, pies and other sweet things. Based on our covetous (is that a word?) staring at the plates of neighbors, we already knew we had to order the strawberry pretzel salad. What the what? This is not a salad. It's a crunchy, buttery, sweet yet salty base with a whipped topping below a big, jiggly slice of strawberry jello. This very well may go on my last supper list. One star deducted only because of super slow service, and I blame this on the bridezilla who was having her shower at the restaurant over the lunch hour. Well, I'm sure she was nice and who knows if she was a bridezilla, but they were definitely cramping the restaurant's delivery time. Boo. Can't wait to come back and actually order off the regular menu next time. Thumbs up!

Just had lunch at Main Street Cafe with my two daughters in law. The atmosphere is nice. We were seated just inside the door but we did not complain. On a chilly day it was a bit brisk every time the door opened and closed. I have always liked this restaurant. Their Poulet de Normandy is always delicious and indeed it was today! Their Chicken Tender salad looked great and my daughter in law stated that she could eat this salad every day. I had a slice of the strawberry pretzel salad and my only complaint was that the pretzels were a bit mushy...making me think the salad had been made for a while. If you are looking for a cute lunch place off the beaten path, check out the Main Street Cafe.

For not being a barbeque place (if you know me!), I'm surprised I liked this place so much! After hosting a geocaching flash mob in honor of Derby Day (believe it or not, NOT associated with Madison's Derby Day festival that happened later), we wandered over here for lunch. Everyone was thoroughly pleased. Reservations had been made in advance and a large table was waiting for us upon arrival. Staff was courteous and kind, and full of suggestions. Everyone was challenged by the nice selection on the menu (no one ordered of the daily since we couldn't read from our table). I ordered the Crunchy Chicken Casserole. Wasn't as crunchy as the name implies, but it did have almonds and celery so there was more crunch than in my own chicken casserole. Mighty yummy! Bread and green beans were good, too. I wouldn't hesitiate to order it again next time.. unless I actually read the daily offers! Several bowls of bread pudding passed by as we were heading out the door... if only we had more time to spend here... I'll will be back... and suggested this to a group of firiends for their monthly luncheon! p.s. Good value for the price! I got out for under $10. Quck enough service.

Perhaps it was on off day in the kitchen, but my lunchtime experience was so disappointing! I chose the crab cakes and they tasted like fish-that's been-sitting-around-too-long. The accompanying squash casserole lacked flavor, as did the strawberry pretzel salad, which was watery (?) the atmosphere is somewhat charming, but could use a good scrub-down.

My wife and I love to eat here together for lunch. We've only had less than great service one time here, and the food is always great. The location is a bit strange, but it has great ambiance. The only entree I can say I absolutely love so far, though, is the red beans and rice. My basic advice is to stick with the daily specials, but the menu options are also good. I have only had one or two of their desserts, but their strawberry pretzel salad is always a hit. I'm still hoping to try watermelon pie some day, but just can't get over the strawberry pretzel salad enough to move on!

I owe this place a review, no doubt. I have eaten here twice and both for special occasions because the place is special. What makes Main Street Cafe special to me is that its something that is truly becoming a comodity. It is local. It is not a chain! The Cafe is located in historic downtown Madison City, on ... well... Main Street! It sits next to the rail road and its very common to see the trains go by.. It used to even hold jail cells as it was once a city builing for the local police, I believe. That , to me, gives the place some charm even if they have mostly hidden that history. As for the menu, it is actually pretty varied. It isn't a "down home" country food from Alabama place though they don't ignore where they are located. I loved the fried green tomatoes appetizer or the corn fitters... mmmmm. Hmmm, I suppose those are kinda country. But the Quiche and Poulet de Normandy definitely are not. For the recent two visits, once I had the cheesy meatloaf *thumbs up* and once I had a "special of the day" which was a Southwestern tuna steak. The food was excellent. And since it was a special occasion, I even had dessert, however, be prepared to share them because they are huge. The pricing is reasonable and if it's not too crowded the service is good. If it's crowded the service can be slow in such a small establishment. I know it's out of the way for most of the larger employers to sneak there for lunch, but it's worth the effort.
