    Fish N Chips...
    Kartika H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is spacious and ambiance is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]they have seats indoor and also outdoor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] order in person and they let you know your order number and will be called again when foods are ready. the foods that we ordered such as: fish and chips, tacos, burger with bacon, and onion rings were just ok. this restaurant is in a great area that after finish eating, you can just walking around and seeing some stores around...

    Asian Salad
    Terry R.

    Descent food that you come to expect at a grill based restaurant. We ordered the Monster Burger, Tri tip sandwich and Asian Salad and fries. Portions were large and everything was satisfying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wait time was minimal, with plenty of seating inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Menu 12/25

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Popular place, especially for families.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fair number of TV's to watch sports and good food at reasonable prices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were busy but I got my order placed and filled in just a few minutes. They are a counter order call number type of place. It was a good burger and they customized it just as I asked. Tri-tip sandwich is thick and the roll is toasted. Not a smoked flavor but a good amount of meat made the price seem OK. Monster burger was thick and tasted great. Recommend for an easy meal that satisfies. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a family friendly environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Main Street Salad
    Kristi M.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the outdoor seating and dog friendly vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My salad was priced with lots of pine nuts. The fries were just as we all remembered, hot, crispy and seasoned with something addictive! What we were really disappointed in was the tri-tip. Not much flavor and lots of fat/gristle. The pulled pork was a generous portion. Staff at the register were friendly and the food came out quick!

    Went in downtown Cambria you cannot leave without trying some of the best barbecue this laid-back Beachtown offers. Walk up and order, pay & then wait for your number to be called. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is ample seating on their outdoor patio, which is dog friendly or inside which has a casual sports bar vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are also great beers on tap along with Wine , sodas & iced tea. We were torn as they have some great sounding BBQ options & salads on their menu... for us it came down to the Tri Tip Sammy vs. The Pig , which is a monstrous mound of tender pulled barbecued pork on a delicious French roll slathered with their tangy barbecue sauce. It's served with a basic coleslaw . Its also massive, so two can definitely share this. Of course we also had to order a side of their Delish seasoned crispy fries and enjoyed dipping those in their ranch dressing. Washed it all down with a delicious crisp and cold hoppy IPA. Yum!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great spot for a casual bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The ABC burger was Delicious, fries were seasoned perfectly but that BBQ sauce for the Ribs is my Favorite.

    Cheeseburger

    How have I been going to Main Street Grill for over 15 years and have yet to write a review for this classic spot? Anyways, the best thing about this casual spot is how consistent it is. Most of the flavors and food tastes the same as it did when I started going here as a kid after long days on the beach in San Simeon. I am local to the Fresno area so this joint is the sister restaurant to Dog House Grill in Fresno and Firestone Grill in San Luis Obispo. This place is excels due to its fast service, cheap eats, and massive portions. Dollar for dollar, I don't think you will find a cheaper place to grab lunch or dinner on the central coast with food that is always hot and yummy. A meal for two people was less than $25 dollars. Hard to beat in this location! The menu is pretty concise but has a little something for everyone. I had the cheeseburger and a side of fries and my order was ready in less than 5 minutes of ordering. The burger was thick, juicy, and had the right ratio of meat to veggie toppings. The fries are a classic thin cut fry that are best enjoyed within the first 10-15 minutes of sitting down. All of the food I have ordered here over the years has been quality and enjoyable. At my latest visit, the one thing I did not enjoy was the coleslaw. It was way to salty and the cabbage was oversaturated with a dressing that didn't taste to great. The texture was soggy and it did not taste fresh. I wouldn't order it again on my next visit personally. All in all, this will continue to be a staple for me on each visit I make to the coast. I frequent the area at least 4 times a year and always make it a point to grab one of my meals at Mainstreet. Keep up the great work! You are a household classic/tradition for my family!

    The tri tip sandwich is great! Full of meat.
    Danielle I.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice casual spot with good food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommended the tri tip sandwich. Onion rings were a little greasy but still good.

    Tritip sandwich
    Alicia K.

    Overall: delicious sandwich, just wish it didn't come with such a premium price tag. If you're craving tri-tip and don't mind spending a bit extra, it's definitely worth trying.

    1/3 Lb. Cheeseburger and side of onion rings. Delicious!
    Sandra P.

    I haven't been here in years! But I was craving a Burger and onion rings...definitely one of the best burgers I've had in a long time! The ingredients were fresh and had a nice layer of crunchy lettuce and onions. The onion rings were cooked to perfection. Great prices still exist here. The food was served hot and made to order. The wait was rather quick and we had great service.

    Clam Chowder
    Veronica P.

    So just FYI for those new visitors to Cambria a lot of restaurants close at 3 after lunch and reopen at 5:30 for dinner. We were unaware but this restaurant was open and it looked busy. The service was quick and efficient . You place your order at the register and they call your number once it's ready. We didn't wait longer than 10 minutes. Everything was fresh. My husband ordered clam chowder in a cup and we shared a fish and chips. The fish was fresh but lacking seasoning. The clam chowder was decent and the fries were very good. Well seasoned. My son order the ribs and those were good too if you like a little smokey taste. Overall good place to grab something quick and fresh.

    Are dogs allowed on your patio?

    Well, I've SEEN dogs on the patio. But I don't know if that's official policy.

    Will you be open on Thanksgiving? If so, hours and same menu & service as always?

    Why was I charged $15.00 for a Main Street salad when menu says $9.99? It's too late to inquire about it and I wasn't the one who picked it up. Did prices go up?

    $9.99 is the price for the small salad. If you were charged $15, you were given a large/regular. Some cashiers will not ask which size you want and just put it in as a large or "regular" size. (i know this reply is extremely late, i'm sorry😭)

We ordered the beef tenderloin tips, signature chicken pot pie, ollalieberry burger, and braised beef stroganoff. We especially enjoyed the beef tenderloin tips and the burger. The burger patty had a mild gamey flavor which I think is due to the cow being grass-fed (correct me if I'm wrong). Staff were also very friendly. The owner himself came out to talk to us. The restaurant is located in a quaint, picturesque town. We enjoyed walking around to see the other shops afterward. The parking lot was small but we were able to find parking. We got there on a Monday around 2PM and waited about 5-10 minutes to be seated.

We were politely asked to leave. No fault of the restaurant whatsoever--it was just one of those surreal moments that perfectly captured the beginning of that crazy chapter in history. Fast forward six years... We randomly picked this place for dinner and, as soon as we walked in, we both looked at each other and said, "Wait... haven't we been here before?" Then it hit us. This was that restaurant. Apparently, we had unfinished business. This time, the universe finally let us eat. I ordered the Ortega burger with sweet potato fries, my wife had the patty melt with onion rings, and we took an order of linguini home for later. Every single bite was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth the six-year wait. The service was just as impressive. Karina was our waitress, and she was attentive, friendly, charming, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place. And if you decide to eat here, there's a very good chance you'll get your food much sooner than we did... only six years ahead of schedule.

Flavor and textures were excellent. However, both plates were lukewarm. Ordered the ribeye, medium rare plus for dinner. The accompanying salad and bread were excellent. However, the ribeye came out rare and somewhere between lukewarm and cold. With that said, the steak itself was excellent quality and the flavor was excellent. But, it was still cold. The only reason I didn't send it back is because it is always awkward to send your meal back when you are having dinner with friends. At the same time, my friend who also ordered the ribeye, had ordered his done medium. His also came out rare. He didn't eat his steak but, opted instead to take it home to cook it to his temperature. We had a great time at the restaurant with our friends. If the steaks had been cooked to the requested temperature and all the food had been delivered hot, I would have easily given them 5 stars... We will give them a second chance the next time we are in Cambria.
