Pros: This place CAN be a hit or miss. It used to be my favorite restaurant/pub to go eat and drink with friends after work. The environment is fun, the waitresses are usually all very friendly. They have a wide selection of food and original at it's best (bbq pork nachos, pretzel bites, and their tater tots are seriously to die for). Not to mention their house made ranch, I could drink it and I don't usually care for much ranch. They have really awesome desserts and drinks too! It's a great place to go with friends for sure and it's definitely affordable. Tons of tvs, private rooms with large tables in both, outdoor patio, pool table, darts. Cons: Like I said, it can be a hit or miss. Sometimes when I order my drinks, it tastes like coconuts when there is no mention of Malibu on the ingredients on the drink menu... I wouldn't care, but I hate Malibu and it destroys a perfectly good drink when you don't like it haha. I once found a beer bottle cap in the bottom of my glass... still got charged for the drink even when I complained to management. Some of the staff can be heard talking about quite inappropriate things with customers up at the bar at times, and I'm not much of a prude. Sometimes you get unseen when you sit down and end up having to ask for service, that's happened to me a few times and never should.

I used to go here on a regular basis with my whole group of friends, and I can safely say it hasn't changed since it's been open. We actually used to be sponsored by Main St in softball a few years back. Then I moved away for work. Once back we met up again for a drink and the entire staff was different. From top to bottom. Pretty high turnover for just over 2 years. The TVs were nice about 6 years ago, and the beer is standard at best. My second star comes from the pork barbecue nachos which are amazing. I wish they would update a little and get a better varieties of beer. With Latitude 42 opening not too far away, they are going to lose a lot of customers. Me being one of them.

What's to say about "The Pub?" Well, it's the traditional go-to. Also, your traditional pub style restaurant. The nice part about this place is the fairly well seperated dining and bar area. This is perfect for eating in for dinner with the family. You don't really have to enter into the more rambunctious "bar" side except for the restrooms. This also keeps the noise out. If you're there without the kids, you can find a seat on the bar side, enjoy some darts, pool, a digital jukebox, or a few arcade games. The wait staff is fairly decent and you don't have to wait long for things... unless you're there on a hopping bar night. Then, expect the traditional wait for a drink while the server juggles all her other drinkers. The food at the pub is your traditional pub fare, not over the top, but not hole-in-the-wall junk either. We frequently go here for lunch to get a burger and some beer. They offer many local craft beers as well as the big corporate beers if you're into those. The patio is a nice touch during the summer as well.

A step up from McDonalds for food. When they started to chain like a fast food joint everything suffered. Food is consistent with subpar taste. Go for beer and only if you have to eat here.

I just really like going to the Main Street Pub all around. I've even gone to the one on West Main and I enjoy that location, as well. I do like one on Westnedge because it is bigger in general. I feel it looks like a lot more people can get in to have a great time. I try to always get a different drink when I go to restaurants, but of course I have my favorites. I've never had the real deal martini and decided to wing it. Strong at least for me, but it definitely does it justice. They have a nice beverage selection you can ponder through while waiting to take your order. We were seated right away no wait. We did have option for bar, dining, or patio. Those are all great pluses to a restaurant/bar. The waitress we had...she was on point. She checked up on us consistently. When we waited a little longer on our food, she apologized and it wasn't even a big deal. Food is great. I've ordered so many different things and it's all been really good!

Had a good dinner here. I had the chicken chimichonga that was filled with chicken. The fried burrito was topped with some cheese and had lettuce, tomatoes and salsa on the side with a few plain tasting tortilla chips. It definitely is not an authentic tasting chimi and had only minor seasonings. The wife had a pulled pork sandwich filled with pork. She said it tasted good and had half a sandwich leftover to bring home. One of my kids had the Mac and cheese. It came out in a very large bowl and she only had eaten about a quarter of it before she got full. The tables were clean and the service was good. Enjoyable dinner and always enjoy coming back here..

I go here often. It's mine and my friend go to place most of the time! The service is almost always friendly. And the food is very good! We mainly go for the fried pickles! Best I've ever had so far and the ranch dressing is also amazing. We have to get extra so we can all have as much as we want. I have only once experience bad service here and I didn't even take extreme notice to it as my brother did. The server hardly came over to check up on us, we had empty drinks a majority of the time until we could flag someone down or the manger would come over. But it wasn't as bad as it could have been. But I don't think anyone can keep me away from the fried pickles though. I think i should go get on my next night out.

Main Street Pub is a local chain with a few locations. The food isn't amazing, but they've got plenty that's tasty, and their large menu offers something to suit just about every kind of picky eater. They seem always to have a microbrew of the month on special, which tends more often than not to be a Michigan beer. I've had good luck showing up at Main Street unannounced with a group of 12 and getting seated right away (not every time, but mostly). It's certainly not fine dining, but I can't afford fine dining that often anyway. Main Street Pub is in the same league as an Applebee's, TGI Friday's, or Bennigan's, except with better prices, local color, and no stupid costumes. A good local choice for a casual sit-down meal, or for a few beers and a round of pool.

I wouldn't go here to sit down and have a nice meal, but it's a perfectly acceptable place to have a happy hour after work. The bar food is greasy (but I guess that's what you expect of bar food), and the service is a little slow (but friendly), but it's overall not a bad experience. They have this pretty sweet new jukebox in the bar area with a touchscreen and a ridiculously huge collection (that you unfortunately can't search by artist). $5 for 12 credits where each song is either one or two credits.

GIANT menu! I got a burger, but substituted a Boca burger for the meat burger, and subbed a baked potato for the fries. They forgot the potato and when it came, it was not thoroughly cooked. The girls I was with RAVED about the beef burgers, but one of my friend's steamed broccoli was almost raw.

The food is OK but not great, but the menu is very diverse and you almost have to find something you like on it. The salads I've had so far are really good. There is also a great kids' menu. The information says that it isn't good for kids, and I'd agree for the bar, but there's a large dining room as well, and this restaurant is very family friendly. I will see if there's a way for me to edit that because it's just wrong.

I ordered the burrito here. It was a lot better than the burrito I had about six months ago at their location in Kalamazoo. For sure, I've had better. Hardly any seasoning to this burrito. Mostly just ground beef and cheese. Where is my cilantro?It came with rice,lettuce,tomato and sour cream. No guacamole D: Although it came with rice...it didn't come with a whole lot of rice. The quality of the rice was TERRIBLE. It was barely cooked. I don't think I've had worse rice at a restaurant. I asked for more rice and they brought out a much bigger serving that was not disgusting for no extra charge. The waitress was nice but gave me a salad instead of soup. Food came out a little slow.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
