Main Street Cafe — Restaurant in West Bend

February 24, 2023 I came for a fish fry. I started with a Whiskey Old Fashioned sweet. Thought the server forgot what I asked for she didn't write it down and was doing other things before she got to the bar. I heard her request to the bar, she got it right. It was a nice refreshing whiskey old fashioned with a big slice of orange on the rim.

I ordered onion rings for appetizer, crispy and hot. The salad was a big iceberg lettuce salad with big slices of cucumber and tomato. I had to cut it down to bite size.

The fish fry was a plate loaded with 3 big pieces of deep fried cod, french fries and slices of rye bread. Came with a bowl of coleslaw. I had so much to eat, couldn't even get to the rye bread or coleslaw.

The fish pieces were big and had a light crispy mildly seasoning batter. Very pleasing.

Service was great, atmosphere was great 👍

My first visit... I stopped in about 5 pm. It wasn't busy. You can sit your self. I ordered a Modelo Negra, received it with a slice of lime on the rim.

There's a huge menu, lots of options, Mexican, Italian, breakfast, lite, hamburgers, fish fry etc.

I had the #2 Combo: Enchilada, Tostada and Flauta, flour tortillas and pork. Came with refried beans and rice. The tortilla was loaded. Tortilla tasted home made. Came with salsa and sour cream on the side. Wasn't too spicy. Tasted home made, home cooked. Huge portions. Everything tasted good.

For dessert I had a slice of apple pie and a scoop of ice cream.

The server kept checking on me. Every helpful when I needed water, more napkins and getting my dessert the way I wanted it.

Watch out for the salsa that comes with the chips, it started out mild, then hit me later. I needed tissues for my...

As all great diners are, Main Street Cafe is nestled in a seedy-looking plaza next to businesses that could easily be money-laundering fronts for organized crime. Inside, it is homey, cozy, and full of regulars who no longer have to see a menu or even order because the waitresses all know exactly what they want. This is exactly what you want from a good diner: simple, friendly, on the verge of questionable.

I came here each morning of my business trip, walking through the broken-up, desolate parking lot, half expecting to see a shady deal occurring from the trunk of an old Caddy. By the third morning, the waitresses knew me, knew what I wanted, and I simply had to nod in my morning fog to receive a cold glass of fresh-brewed iced tea from perhaps the only place in the state to make it this way.

The food - eggs, bacon, toast, hash - was cooked perfectly, like a lover brought to the brink of ecstasy. Only as greasy as it needed to be. No frills. Just wholesome food. I left fulfilled, a small sliver of my hope in...

Not Happy! I don't post reviews but was very unhappy! 1st did not get a complete meal (the things that were supposed to be included) with ANY of our 5 meals! Our salads were more like soup (but we were still going with it) My daughter's food came out almost 15 minutes after everyone else's. I ordered the ribs (my favorite) but they were not in ANY way edible, so much so that I only took one bite! I very politely told the server, when asked how everything was, that they were not good & I was unable to eat them (you could clearly see I took one bite) for her to look at me and say "Oh sorry about that, but I'm still charging you for them" instead of taking them off my bill or at least offering something else! Very poor customer service (however our actual waitress was polite, aside from the oversite of not giving us the things that were included with our meals) On top of it all when we got our questionable bill we were very shocked at the outrageous total!!
