Main Street Grill

Just the facts...

1) Open face turkey sandwich came with shaved turkey, mashed potatoes, and a small portion of canned cranberry sauce.  My wife asked for gravy on the side, and they incorrectly interpreted that to apply only to the mashed potatoes, smothering her sandwich with gravy.  This was a plus for me, as I got to eat both slices of her bread, in addition to eating my own meal!

2) As is often the case, the Eggs w/Corned Beef Hash breakfast does not also come with home fries.  Though CBH came from a can, it was grilled nice and crispy on the outside. Rye toast was of Sysco quality, which is to say... low quality.

3) Waitress was friendly and attentive.

What a delightful place to stop on a long road trip!

The restaurant is super sweet and homey. It has a little patio/fern garden thing out front with all sorts of christmas lights and hanging glasswork and things that make for a lovely window view and a more secluded feel, even though it is on a decent sized road. I didn't have my kids with me, but I would have been very comfortable bringing them. Our waitress was cute and super friendly to everyone who came in. There also seemed to be a really interesting mix of customers. Five stars for atmosphere, no doubt.

The food was decent, especially for the price. We got lunch for two with drinks & desserts for under $20! Expect to have time for conversation before your food comes out. It's mostly standard American fare, but has a reasonable number of vegetarian choices. It's not gourmet, but it definitely hit the spot after hours of driving. There are lots of good looking options on the menu. I think this is the first restaurant that I've ever been to which offered a choice between frozen fries and fresh cut fries! Obviously, there's no contest there.

If I ever find myself in that part of upstate New York again, I'll definitely stop there for another lunch date.
