Stopped in again for breakfast with a friend and enjoyed this place as much as I did last time. The service was good, the food came out fast and was tasty. Nothing fancy here, but simple, plain, good food. read more

See all

Awesome cafe serving classic American diner food. You can opt for a breakfast buffet or order off the menu. My group all ordered off the menu and the portions are big! All of our food tasted fresh and delicious. Just what we needed after a float trip. Friendly servers and would love to go back next time we're in the area. read more

The service was amazing and the food just made me feel like home it was the best breakfast I've had in a long time

Great diner. Reasonable prices, good service, good food. They always have a pie or two that the kids always love to try! They open pretty early so the boys like to come here after hunting. read more

Excellent food with friendly service and old school cafe in a small town ambience. Highly recommend the Friday night specials and the bacon and eggs for breakfast read more

Ok. I cannot speak of the food. We left just after ordering as we sipped our drinks. There was a screen showing ads of local churches, services, and other point of local interest. What shocked me was an ad wanting to address an upcoming election ballot proposition about abortion in Missouri. Now, I respect both sides of the argument when offered with reasonable sensitivity. But showing photos of fetuses to a captive audience of patrons does not qualify as "reasonable sensitivity". It was simply traumatic for me and I can only imagine what it would feel like for a woman who has had or contemplated a pregnancy termination. We left and had a lovely lunch at the Mexican restaurant down the road. Please do not use your restaurant to shock people into an ideology. read more

Service is slow at best. It took 45 minutes to get a breakfast order and meatloaf out for us. The server forgot my vegetable, had to go back for it, forgot the Texas toast and had to go back for it. My husband's biscuits were rock hard. She said that they were left over from breakfast and the cook had left them on top of the warmer ( she said that she had told them not to). Server initially brought him the wrong order, set it on the table when she realized it then took it back to the serving window to be given to the right customer. When I mentioned something about the biscuits, her response was "sorry'bout that " as she was walking away. I got sick to my stomach before getting home, hubby was sick shortly afterwards. We've had that happen before under this new ownership I don't recommend this place nor will we eat there again. This is the bottom of the plate my husband's correct order was brought on. We spoke to the lady at check out and she said "oh, that's not good ". No. No it isn't. read more

Main Street Cafe - a man holding a plate of food - Salad Near Me - Salem, Missouri

A great family run café serving delicious, well-prepared food. Lots of menu choices and daily specials. I don't often see 'liver & onions' on a menu, but when I do I take advantage of it (good for the body, and a fond childhood memory). Main Street Café did a superb job...the best I've ever eaten out, by far! Hubby had a very satisfying breakfast of eggs, sausage patties (which he raved about), hash browns, biscuits n' gravy....all delicious. Prices are well affordable, and the service is top-notch. Lots of locals hanging out, and a feel good atmosphere. We are from Oregon, just passing through, but this little café made us feel at home read more

Ordered the chicken fried steak and it was alright. The pies afterward were great and the prices were amazing. I expected to see more reviews on this restaurant as I saw so many people there. Seems like a popular place for the locals and I might of just ordered a certain mean that wasn't as good. I would recommend this to anyone in the mood for a sit-down old fashioned meal. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Salem! They have great specials and awesome service. They are accommodating to dietary requests. I highly recommend the Philly Cheesesteak, BLT Salad with chicken, Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich, and any of the soups. read more

While on a camping trip back in October we stopped in this cafe on a Saturday. The food and service was fantastic. The pies even better. While leaving town on Sunday we were excited for another trip before hitting the interstate. Unfortunately, they are closed on Sunday. Still in December, I think Main Street Cafe was the highlight of the trip. read more
