The Main Cafe — Restaurant in New Harmony

Only doing 1 stars because there is no option for 0 stars. Went in for the first time, a waitress just glanced at us and said sit wherever. Sat there for almost 10 minutes with no greeting. I ordered the western omelette (all meats and veggies) and my husband ordered the farmers omelette. Took a long time to come out (only 3 other tables were there) waitress and I guess the owner were too busy socializing. When our food finally came out I had maybe a piece of ham and a couple small pieces of sausage and no veggies that I could see. My husbands was so burnt and had almost raw slices of potatoes in his and hardly any veggies and no meat at all. I took one bite and could taste the burnt eggs. My husband wouldn’t even take a bite of his due to how burnt it was. We waited for a waitress to come back to our table, never happened. My husband went up to the counter to let them know our food was inedible, he was ignored by the 3 people in the kitchen that looked right at him. We drove 30 minutes to try a small business, but I guess they only worry about the locals. So...

This place is, quite literally, a dream, a fever dream, or possibly amazing. I honestly can't tell if it's shtick or the kind of genuine experience you can only find at a small town diner, but I walked into the 50s decor and found myself in vaudeville.

There was a gentleman holding a grenade shaped coffee mug amusing a small corner of the restaurant with local affairs. An elderly fellow was learning the intricacies of checking himself out with a new POS with all the grace of a Gitterbug commercial. The customers all talked amongst themselves, over their shoulders, and across the massive central table that seems to transform this restaurant into a community.

I had a MainCristo, a fun French toast take on the classic sandwich. It was flavorful without being excessive. Coffee was above average, hot, and served often. The owner serenaded me for my birthday with the only time I've ever actually appreciated being sung to on my birthday and then presented me with a green, 3 inch coated self driving deck screw. I will be coming back, even if I only go to see if it...
