Main Street Cafe — Restaurant in Town of Clarkstown

Wholly disappointing and unfortunately overrated.

The place is in a good location, mind you, with constricted parking, so getting there did not offer that much hassle. However, once you sat down and order breakfast, that impression rapidly changes.

In my circumstance, myself and two others joined the Main Street Cafe clientele on a Tuesday morning around 8:15. The greeter did not say much and pointed us to a booth. From then on most of it went downhill with the exception of average-quality food.

I ordered an omelette; my guests pancakes and a eggs/bacon combo. I asked for water four times before obtaining glasses of said liquid. Coffee was fine, and that was refreshed somewhat regularly. The server never interacted with us, while the person at the counter, (a patron I presume), took the remote and selected a movie based upon Resident Evil for all the world to see on the mounted TV facing the restaurant's eating area. The waiter did nothing about this - he seemed indifferent or overwhelmed.

Ultimately, I was curious about this place given that it's next to Carvel and the music school. Well, that curiosity was received by feedback that there are so many other places to get decent breakfast; why would you go...

I come here all the time with my parents. It has a nice warm, inviting diner atmosphere. And the owner and staff are super friendly and welcoming.

Their Sangria is surprisingly good and a huge pour. Also this is the ONLY restaurant that makes popovers- and they are complimentary. If you never had one come here and try it. I always ask for extra. They are big eggy muffin type things, super airy and warm and delicious with butter.

The dinner specials are such a great deal and come with soup or salad and dessert. They have a huge menu with lots of options. Everything is super great quality and fresh.

The portions are large and plentiful. The salads are super large and all prices are reasonable. $16.99 for a huge salad with salmon on top!

The chicken dishes are excellent too. The chicken is really tender and juicy, soft and delicious chicken breast. The chicken Francese my dad had was so good.

Come here with your family, you won’t be...

Ordered 2 Steak sandwiches and 2 orders of Onion rings. 1 order of "sweet plantains", that were not sweet at all. Cost me $61.00 with tip! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST DISGUSTING FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE !!!! 1ST of all, the sandwiches arrived with absolutely nothing on them,, NO lettuce or tomatoes on side, no grilled onion. NOTHING not even a pickle. 3 thin strips of fatty steak that looked like chicken strips. They were so full of fat and hard gizzle. 2ND the onion rings were burned to a crisp! Usually I like crispy, but these were extra dark from old oil. We couldn't even bite them! I can not believe how God awful this food was. I have eaten there before and everything was always good, not great! I'm so disappointed and will never ever go back there again. We got delivery bc it's a Sunday and Mother's day and every place is always crowded! With Uber Eats the bill was $61.00!!!!!!! I have a good mind to return the food...
