Main Eatery

Great prices and food. Their sandwiches (especially grilled cheese and PB&J) and soups are really good. The best deals are usually the Blue Plate Specials. If they have cheesecake get it! They usually run out fast and it is to die for. The co-owner also works the register which is pretty cool.

Excellent place to eat at for lunch. I usually go with the blue plate special. Everything that I have tried here has been delicious! I especially like the chicken salad sandwich. One day, it was the blue plate special and it came with a cheesecake with blueberry topping and shaved chocolate on top....so good!
Don't forget to bring cash as you get a 4% (I think) discount with your meal. I would recommend this place to anyone downtown looking for a good meal at lunch.

This place serves a decent sandwich. But frankly, it's a sandwich so how hard could it be? I was turned off by the posting of so many rules. No strollers? The space simply isn't small enough to justify the policy. But I didn't have a stroller so I overrode my instincts and went inside instead. That was my mistake, of course. The next crazy rule is that they'll cut a sandwich in half, but not in quarters (ever tried to get a five year old to manage a thick sandwich?). The owner (and he seemed awkwardly proud to identify himself as such working at the cash register) was unyielding. Absolutely no sandwich quarters. Like it was a religious conviction or something. It's also the kind of place that charges 25 cents for tap water (I suppose I should not have been surprised when I noticed as much on my receipt). And there's a 4% "rebate" for cash purchases. Plus, they apparently have no clue what it means to go light on the mayo. Is this getting petty? Perhaps. But that all shaped my view of the establishment and experience. And the little things really do matter. I will say they have cheap prices (other than for tap water) and in this case I received the service I paid for.
