Food was outstanding. Service was great. Roast beef club was delicious and made to perfection

Panini sandwiches are amazing. Cole slaw was bright and fresh. Staff was attentive. They were great. read more

I went there 2 days ago and it wasn't my first time there.. I had a bowl of tomato bacon basil soup which was very good. I always order a homemade soup. I ordered the main street club which comes with turkey and ham and bacon lettuce and tomato. The menu said stacked a mile high so I figured it would be a decent size sandwich? When they brought it to the table I looked at it and there was only 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of turkey with thick white bread!! It was tasty don't get me wrong but I've had breakfast sandwiches with more meat on them. It was basically a blt with a slice of ham and a slice of turkey and in the middle was 2 slices of cheese. The last time I had a sandwich there it was light on the cold cuts also!! Good quality but poor quantity!!! read more

Main Street Grill & Bakery - This is not the type of club sandwich i. Used to getting back in the city - Bakeries Near Me - Afton, New York

Food - excellent. Fresh and good-size portions. Service - it's a small biz, a little wait, but fabulous folks and great conversation. Ambiance - small town diner feel and fresh bakery. Local eatery and only came for the great Yelp rating. Did not disappoint. A little out of the way and well worth a return trip!. read more

This restaurant is a diamond in the rough. Food is so fresh and delicious. The staff are unbelievably friendly. The owner is so down to earth and always has a smile on her face. She treats her patrons with warmth and kindness. The menu prices are very reasonable. We frequent here often and the restaurant is always clean and immaculate. read more

The food was delicious, the service was great and the ambiance.was clever .. we stop by on our way north of 88. Wonderful little surprise restaurant to stop at. read more

Ate here tonight because I heard how great the food was and can confirm that it was amazing! I ate the house signature wrap and the lettuce was so fresh! The oranges and cranberries were juicy as well! If you go, you have to try the house dressing with the salad; I could drink a whole bottle of it. I will say one thing, the waitress was a little rude and forgot to add potstickers to our order even though she wrote it down. Regardless, that doesn't stop me from coming back to try more of the delicious food. P.S I heavily recommend getting the 7 layers in heaven cake. It's layered with 7 different kinds of chocolate and is SINFUL read more

Main Street Grill & Bakery - Heard great things about this place. Can't wait to try it out! - Bakeries Near Me - Afton, New York

A friend and I had lunch here we made a reservation which you should because it gets very busy very quickly I had a wonderful chicken Caesar salad. The service was wonderful we saved room for dessert I had their chocolate cream pie, my friend likes their cheese cake and it was very good . I highly recommend reservations. read more

This gem of a restaurant serves outstanding, locally sourced, when possible, food in a delightful setting. The menu changes with the seasons and is varied enough to satisfy most diners. Weekends are very busy. Call for a reservation. read more

Very tasty sandwiches on good bread. Mixed salad with house dressing also fine. Lively lunch spot.

Nice clean restaurant. Meals are good but desert is where it's at. Had a beer, cheeseburger desert and coffee for two $30. Everything from service to food was excellent read more

Main Street Grill & Bakery - Kitchen and dessert area - Bakeries Near Me - Afton, New York

Amazing staff. Very professional. Even better food. Oh, and don't pass on the desserts.

Yummy! Nice place to get unique specialty sandwiches and old fashioned favorites. Their fries were tasty, and hit the spot. I also enjoyed their cream of broccoli soup. The chocolate cream pie was ok, but I was not a fan of the surprise pecans in the crust or the cool whip like topping. I would have preferred a topping that tasted like homemade whipped cream. They were really busy and clearly understaffed when we came in for a late lunch. Our waiter also worked as the bartender, worked at the desert counter, as the host, and answered the phones. It made everyone have to wait for everything because he had to bounce everywhere. We felt bad he didn't have more help. Also when you enter it is a bit confusing, there is no sign directing you to wait to be seated or that the host will seat you. Considering the host was filling so many roles it was a bit confusing. read more

My family took a day trip out to Afton to try the Main Street Grill and Bakery for lunch based on recommendations and it did not disappoint! Unfortunately, Afton is in the middle of nowhere and this is the only place worth going for. The restaurant itself is very clean with a nice contemporary feel to it. My mother mentioned that the chef is from the Instinct Restaurant in Endicott so if you liked the food there, chances are you'll enjoy this place! I ordered the House Signature Wrap which was a combination of grilled chicken, lettuce, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, feta cheese, mayo & Lizzy's Sassy Salad Sauce all rolled up in a garlic herb tortilla. I wish I could claim that I remembered all of these tasty ingredients but I cheated and copied and pasted the description from their web site. :) The wrap was delicious - put together very nicely and very moist. I've had some terrible wraps where the ingredients all fall out upon taking the first bite but this wrap stayed nicely together. The "Lizzy's Sassy Salad Sauce" was great and they offer it in take-out containers so it must be popular! I had the side of potato salad to go with my wrap and it was obviously homemade and very tasty. If you go, be sure to save room for dessert. We ordered various slices of cake and they were all delicious. I would go back to the Main Street Grill and Bakery in a heartbeat but the 40 minute or so drive does not make that possible. Maybe it's time to open a sister location closer to Vestal! read more

PROS Atmosphere - trendy-casual Service - friendly and efficient Lizzy's Sassy Salad Sauce - unless you are ordering a salad to which a specific dressing has been assigned, choose Lizzy's Sassy Salad Sauce to top your salad; this house-made specialty is good enough to drink (and also available in pint jars to take home) Bread & Butter - one of the best parts of the meal (it is a bakery, after all); the butter is nothing to talk about, but the bread is stupendous; served hot, the soft, chewy baguette just melts in your mouth (no butter needed!); be sure to sample (or, as I did, eat all four pieces of) the cranberry pumpkin bread; if the deserts weren't so incredible (more on them below), I would say to get several free refills of the bread and call it a night Portabello Nirvana - pan seared crab cake stuffed in a roasted portabello mushroom, finished with a garlic white sauce; though I didn't personally try this appetizer, my dining companion who ordered it seemed to enjoy it very much (he cleaned his plate, anyway) Harvest Meatloaf - blend of lean ground beef filled with flavors of the harvest, topped with a balsamic brown sugar onion glaze and served with mashed potatoes, gravy, and sautéed vegetables; while the potatoes and vegetables were nothing out of the ordinary (though still good), the meatloaf (and gravy) was solid-comfort food at its finest; an unknown (to me) ingredient gave it an extra something special Herb Shrimp Spaetzle - pan-seared Gulf shrimp served over homemade herb and roasted garlic spaetzle, finished with a citrus fire roasted pepper puree; I also received a serving of the sautéed vegetables with this meal (though, again, they were nothing special); the shrimp were cooked perfectly; while I enjoyed the meal as a whole, I wasn't blown away by the flavors; good enough to make the pros list, but I wouldn't order it again Deserts - being a bakery, the bread and deserts (and, though we didn't order them during this visit, salads and sandwiches) are the stars of the show; this time, we tried the Peanut Butter Cheesecake, Oatmeal Cookie, Peanut Butter Pie, and Cannoli Cake; each choice was fresh, moist, and perfectly balanced with regard to sweetness and ratio of cake to frosting or filling to crust CONS Location - though it was worth it, Afton is nearly 30 miles from Binghamton and this restaurant is the only reason to drive out there Temperature - despite the vestibule, cold outside air flooded the dining room every time the door was opened (which was often on a busy Saturday night); the temperature in the restaurant itself was comfortable enough when the door was closed, however read more

We have been going to Main Street grill for the last 5 or 6 years and have loved the service food and desert choices. We had a takeout order from there a few week ago and noticed the sandwiches were smaller and so were the cake / pie pieces and didn't think that much about it we were still in the middle of shut down figured they would get back up to speed Like I said we have loved this cute little restaurant and told many of our friends about them. Okay so I ordered take out again the sandwiches were small and sloppy and the slice of pie I ordered was half the size and the price was either the same or a little higher I wouldn't mind a price hike if the food was up to the same standard that was set by Main Street Grill which made the best place around. read more

This place was recommend by the owners at the rv park we were staying in. Came for lunch while antique shopping. Hubby had the club sandwich and I had the hands down best vegetable panini of my life! Whatever the herb mayo is is spectacular! The place was hopping! Great service! Highly recommend! read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat and I can't believe I haven't posted a review. Reservations are a must because it's always packed. Everything is fresh and homemade. The chef is amazing. I've gotten the Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken, The ribs and several sandwiches. Never a disappointment! For an appetizer you can't beat their pot stickers. Don't pass on dessert! It's all homemade and even if we are too stuffed, we get something to take home. Favorites are their Chocolate Cream Pie, Banana Cake, Coconut Cake and Carrot Cake. My husband says the Carrot Cake is the best he's ever had. In the Fall go for the Pumpkin Cheesecake! Wow, did I just write a whole paragraph on dessert? YEP! It's that good. It's worth the drive from Binghamton for us. read more

You know what sucks? When you order a to-go vegetarian meal and you drive almost hour down the road to find they gave you half a ground up cow on a greasy roll. Ugh I'd post more about this travesty however I'm too hungry to yelp a witty review. My advice would be check your to-go order before you walk out the door, because they won't. read more

Great food great prices and their bakery selection is amazing her chocolate peanut cake is to die for

After reading the previous reviews for this restaurant, we were a bit hesitant in coming. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. We found the food to be great and the service was also excellent. Alex served our table and was exceedingly professional and pleasant! If ever in the area again, we will be coming right here to eat. The setting is versatile enough to dress up or dress down. The menu has plenty of options for any style of meal you are in the mood for. All around great experience. read more

Following the advice of my mum I ventured to this cozy, small town eatery and was pleasantly surprised by their savory sandwiches and sweet treats! Upon the first bite I fell in love with the bold, smooth flavors of their fresh ingredients combined flawlessly. Finishing off with a classic cannoli I left with a smile, satisfied taste buds, and the intention to return for more. read more

Main Street Grill & Bakery - Garlic roast beef sandwich with side salad! - Bakeries Near Me - Afton, New York

A small town atmosphere with a fairly big town food selection. I'm not that familiar with NYC eateries, so I can't make a fair comparison with them. I have heard several voices say it's like a touch of "the city" in a small town. Maybe it's true, but I've seen similar in various college towns around upstate. Of course, there's no college in close proximity to Afton, so that may be the distinction that sets the Grill apart. The sriracha chicken sandwich was delicious. A bit to large to bite, so I took it out of the bun and ate it with a fork. The potato wedges were tasty but over-cooked. My wife's hamburger was excellent. We took a few of the fabulous deserts home. All were exceptional, and high priced. The owner joined us at our table, and was charmingly delightful. All in all, our lunch experience was gratifying. We'll return to the Afton Grill & Bakery, especially when in the mood for a ride in the country culminating in a pleasant dining experience. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the area. They've got a great array of bistro foods. The back of their menu changes monthly to accommodate the change in seasons: a set of specials is often paired with in-season vegetables. They always have at least one vegetarian and one fish entrée, in addition to their lovely standard menu with sandwiches, soups, and salads topped with the owner's homemade dressing. The owner really has a knack for creating dishes with a balance of flavors. My friends usually twist my arm into ending our meal with the Grill's homemade desserts, such as raspberry cake, cream puffs, or carrot cake. The only bad thing about the place is that it isn't open 7 days a week. (They're closed Sundays) read more

I can't even remember what I ate here because the neglect from our waitress was so significant...I even made sure my husband tipped at 15%...THAT'S HOW BAD THE SERVICE WAS! (for the record, I'll tip a "limited," but friendly waiter 20% because the actually give a sh#@!). I do vaguely remember a chocolate cheesecake that was really good. I'm giving three stars because I want to believe that this was a one-time screw up on their behalf and that the next time I go, the food will be memorable, the staff will be PRESENT, and I'll walk out saying, "first impressions aren't everything." I've heard so many wonderful things about the restaurant and my first time was a little disappointing. read more

Awesome place to go to formaly or informaly. All the food is fresh and high quality. The bake goods and desserts are excellent. Keep up the great work! read more

We just stopped here during our road trip to see family. Service was fast, efficient & friendly. The waitress even brought a bowl of fries to let our boys snack before the meal came out. What a lifesaver as we had been driving 5 hours prior to stopping. Food was so fresh and delicious! Only downfall I found is that it's not close to where we live. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Pleasant surprise. Met my daughter here for mid point hand-off and decided to grab a bite to eat. Decent wine selection (could add a couple more higher end selections) picked a very affordable Malbec. I started with a traditional chicken noodle soup and my daughter had a well presented mixed green salad. Both were solid but not spectacular. My daughter had a perfectly cooked (medium) Sirloin Steak topped w/ caramelized onions, a side of mashed potatoes and grilled squash. All delicious. I had the sauteed sole topped with 2 mini crab cakes. Served with rice and the squash topped with a very nice white wine sauce. Sole was solid but, the crab cakes were great! all crab with little binder. We split a very rich / delicious desert that I can't recall the name. By far my best excursion off Rt.88 in a long time. I will be back! read more

This place is amazing! The food is excellent, fresh and there is something for everyone. Vegetarian options, seafood options, pasta, steak, salads, wraps, sandwiches... and the prices are reasonable!! Their house salad dressing is delicious, and you can pick up a bottle of it while you are there. They change their menu each season, and have unique daily specials. You can tell that they have real talented chefs create the menu and cook the food. The service is top of the line! The staff is friendly. I never felt ignored or had to wait a long time for my food. The desserts are the best! If you have a sweet tooth, you will love their selections. They are unique and scrumptious, which makes it hard to decide what to get. Nothing is ordinary at this place! I've never had a bad meal and I've eaten here at least twenty times. Consistency is everything! They serve a great cup or coffee too. Please stop in and check it out! The town of Afton is small, but they have some great shops across the street from the grill. Makes it a great place to spend the afternoon. If you plan on eating here during prime time, I suggest you make reservations. read more

Who would have thought there would be such a quaint little place nestled in the small town of Afton. Right off of Main Street is where it resides. If you are going for dinner I would suggest making reservations as once you enter you will see it's not too big. We made reservations for 4:30 and it wasn't busy however an hour later it was filling up. We choose the Queen Prime Rib with Mash Potatoes, green beans for first dish. Our second was the Blackened Scallops, quinoa and green beans. While sometimes when you order steak well done you can get a tough piece of meat. Not here it was cooked really good with no pink but still really juicy. The scallops were delicious with the quinoa and a sauce that I can't remember. While the wine list is weak had a glass of Kendall Jackson to go with the meal. Salad or soup comes with the meal and a bread basket. Don't fill up too much. The bread was great with wheat and white rolls. There was also a great pumpkin bread in the basket that I enjoyed. Hopefully you save room for dessert as you can pick from the selections as they don't have a dessert menu. After looking at the counter choose the cocunut pie and lemon cake. Both were delicious!! The pie had a great coconut flavor. Just the right amount. The cake was very moist with lemon like pudding on top and inside. The staff was great. Very friendly, helpful and always smiling. read more

This place is wonderful. Seriously, nothing we had was bad or even mediocre. It was outstanding. Their house dressing and soup was great, the feta sticks were great, and the steak was perfect.

Yelpers, you do not disappoint. We found this local spot on a 6 hour drive, and the reviews were so good we decided to take a quick break to give it a try. I had the Main Street Salad with Salmon and my husband had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Both were delicious, service was prompt and friendly, and we were so glad we tried Main Street Grill & Bakery. Bonus star for beautiful holiday decor! read more

This place by far is the best in the area. Afton is basically in middle of nowhere and because of that, it;s always packed and it only stays open until 8pm. Definately quality and fresh. There's a bit of variety from Fish n Chips to Asian Pot Stickers to Ribs. Which by the way are all very good. Great beer and wine selection. My most favorite aspect of this place is there bakery. It's very difficult to come by a place that makes homemade cakes and desserts. You will not be disappointed, I truly appreciate it. My only wish was that they had more Mexican Dishes on the menu, Maybe I should tell them I would go in there and teach the Chef's how to make some of my specialties like Chile Verde, Chorizo & Egg Breakfast Burritos or Tres Leches Cake. :) read more

We accidentally stumbled across this place one afternoon while traveling on I 88 and, boy, are we glad we did. What a find! The eclectic menu features local, organic foods and mouthwatering baked goods. Our server was not only knowledgeable, but friendly and welcoming. When we told him it was our first visit to the restaurant, he gave us a free bottle of their own " Liz' Sassy Salad Sauce." There was nothing we didn't love about this place! read more
