Cheap, delicious good with friendly service. The establishment is very grandma-chic with dolls and old pictures/paintings on the wall. Definitely a mom and pop kind of place!

Good food. Good service. Good prices. A little early for Halloween decorations in my book, and there are a score of porcelain dolls that stare at you in the ladies room, but I'm cool with that...reminds me of X Files.

So this place is weird, but I love it. I felt odd as soon as I walked in. The place is ridiculously decorated and filled with old people. We were literally stared at by every patron as we walked to the booth we sat down at. After passing a guy with a handgun sticking out of his pocket and a couple people we later found out were employees, we found ourselves on the Main Street side of the Cafe (We had entered on Pearl Street). Ok, Iowa is an open carry state, I get it, but don't wear a wife beater, old jeans, and put your gun in your pocket...... I guess the employees here just wear their regular clothes? Or maybe some random customer decided to serve us and pretend he worked there....Either way he was nice and helpful. They serve breakfast all day, every day, which is awesome. I ordered eggs (over-easy), hash browns, bacon, and wheat toast. Oh my God. I hadn't had a breakfast like this in a very long time. This was amazing, real, home-cooked feeling breakfast. The entire plate was covered in hash browns, my bacon was crispy, toast was buttered but not overly-so, eggs were perfect. Seriously one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. When I got my check it was like $11. I thought there was no way that could be right....Well I was. I couldn't believe it. I would gladly pay $10/meal for a breakfast like this. Great family run cafe that's perfect for downtown Council Bluffs.

I love this little cafe. It's been there for a very long time and I have been coming here for years. The service is good. The food is good and cheap enough. The decor could use a little updating but that's where the charm is.

I've been coming here for a long time and it's just good, inexpensive food. It's a family owned cafe that's been around for a long time. Service is good, though sometimes the servers seem a little overwhelmed when they get busy. Food may be all frozen, but it's tasty. Decor is really creepy. A horror movie could be filmed here.

Main Street Cafe has become a favorite place of mine to visit when returning home. It's cozy, and very Iowa - something refreshing to somebody who lives in Los Angeles. Also, I like to support local businesses. I can get a grilled cheese sandwich for $2.75, and it's $1 to tack on fries. Note: they always serve a BUNCH of fresh fries. Also, a piece of pie is just $2. Each time I ordered a piece of pecan pie I was served a huge delicious serving. When I went with my parents they ordered the hot roast beef sandwich plate for $6 - and the mashed potatoes were REAL! Note that there are two dining rooms in the restaurant. If you're a Halloween fan step in just to check out the crazy decorations they have on the Main Street entrance (the Pearl Street side is more reserved, and the booths are cozier). Enjoy, and stop in for some fair-priced fare and down-home ambience.

My wife and I have been coming here with relative frequency for a few years now. Sometimes we venture out to other diners in the area, but somehow we always end up comparing them to Main St. Now don't get me wrong, the Main St. Cafe is as simple as it gets. Breakfast served all day, hot beef sandwiches, and free refills. The place is always packed for lunch. It's the most affordable meal in town. The service is always friendly ... especially as you become one of the regulars. Mashed potatoes are REAL ... not instant. And all around it's just good, wholesome, affordable food. I usually get the BLT or a Bacon Cheeseburger. And even more often I get bacon and eggs. We never walk out of there (the two of us) for more than $13 (including tax and tip) or so. Pretty good these days. And they have a pretty great assortment of pies, too.

This is a neat little cafe/diner. You could get a little lost in time in the place. It is a bit old school in a very good way. Basic menu. Pork Tenderloin was a featured item, so I tried it and the breading was corny and crispy... damn near as good as the meat it surrounded. The crinkle cut fries were plentiful and very crispy. Now... why four stars? Pies. That is why. About a dozen of them. I tried three. Hey... I love pie! Apple... rocked for the american version [I prefer the French version sans cinnamon]. Blackberry... a wedge of heaven. Butterscotch cream... OMG! Delicious!! The crusts were all flaky tender and tasty. For REAL! BTW... all of them come from Golden Boy Pies in Overland Park KS [Kansas City Metro Area]. goldenboypies.com I will review them as well.

I drive though downtown Council Bluffs quite a bit and I passed this establishment all the time. Finally, I had a chance to stop in and eat. It was a weekend morning and it was very busy so the service was a little slow but that was probably due to the fact it was so busy. I ate breakfast and it was very good and the prices were very reasonable too. The menu is basic but full of the items we all love. I look forward to trying lunch there one day. Also, I had visited just before Halloween and the place was all decked out with Halloween decorations. Looks like they have fun for each of the holidays.

Decent place. We stopped by on a whim and ate dinner. The server was quick and helpful. The decor... well, not my style. Antiquated and country-esq. The food was lacking and not impressive... Kind of like it was generic and came from a box.

This is the place for a down-home breakfast. We were staying in Omaha and made the quick drive over to the "Bluffs" to find a traditional American breakfast. Dine with the locals and if you want an extra slab of ham--that will be $0.56! The folk art in the dinning room and the bathroom (men's) will not disappoint and is worth the visit alone.
