There are two main moons in Marion. "New Main Moon" and "Main Moon" One is a buffet, the other is takeout (although it does have a dine in option--I wouldn't recommend it. The environment is clean enough, but not really a nice sit down sort of place). I have been getting takeout at the South Marion restaurant for years (like 15 years) and am rarely disappointed in the quality. The owners are local and have been there forever. They may have 'attitudes' compared to other restaurants, but it really is that they work extremely hard for their money and are not going to put up with people that ask a lot of questions, are grumpy, or otherwise waste their time. They are not unlike many European restaurants in this method of operating their business (if you don't like how they do things, go elsewhere). I rather like this attitude, and I get really annoyed with people who expect to be treated like royalty just because they pay $4.00 for a takeout meal. Know what you want going in, read the menu for descriptions of food instead of asking the staff, and tip fairly well--you will not be disappointed in their food or service if these are your...
Read moreAI can leave me alone to write. So this is me writing, not AI. I like Main Moon. It's convenient and relatively quick. The food is good and hot. What should be crunchy is, what shouldn't, isn't. I lean toward dishes with lots of vegetables and some pork or shrimp. White rice is less expensive. I can and do eat brown rice at home. Those are personal preferences. Waiting accommodations are rudimentary, and that's fine. I enjoy the simplicity. I just sit in the straight backed chair, empty my mind, and wait, concentrating on the soles of my feet on the floor. Prices are reasonable. Service is straightforward. It's cash only. Park in front. Lots on the menu to choose from. It doesn't hurt to take a paper menu home and study it some. If I'm feeling hungry and have some driving yet to do, but don't want a meal, I get a couple egg rolls with mustard and/ or duck sauce, go sit in the car, turn on the music, and bliss out while I eat. I carry my own water. Rejuvenated, I drive on. I don't think my body could do the salt on a daily basis, but I do fine...
Read moreI really don't have a review but I would like to say that ever since I was a little girl I've seen the Main Moon building there and they've gotten flooded out so many times that I've seen whole years that look like they didn't open at all and if they did open it was only for a few hours during the day and then they was closed and I love to make moon when I was a little kid when I was 16 I even worked in the kitchen I did their dishes I watched him make a fish dish that had the whole head and eyes and everything on the fish when they fight it or cooked it or whatever and so anyways I'm just so glad to see that Main Moon is getting the business that it's getting and it's getting to be able to be functional too bad it had to take out the damn to do it but I love going by every day and seeing how many cars are in your guys's parking lot and it's not the meal the milk they have their own people too but this is your guys's parking lot and it's full...
