We ordered the waffle and chicken, and frittata and tots. The food and coffee was decent! Service was okay. It was pretty hot inside with little airflow and the tables are close together which makes it less enjoyable. read more

It's a greta place for brunch and lunch. They have a wide selection and have friendly staff. I love the quaint atmosphere. They get really busy during lunch. I gave up carbohydrates for lent. I was so pleased to have a broad range of options for dishes with no carbs without sacrificing flavor and texture. My friend ordered the chocolate cake and found it a little sweet but it looked so good. I would have to go back and try their pastries. read more

This is one of the few eateries on Main Street, as the name would imply. They do three meals a day here and you can get breakfast all day long, which I chose to do at lunchtime. They were very busy and had run out of a couple of items, but we eventually reached a compromise that worked for everybody. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, so you shouldn't have to wait too long unless you go at a peak dining time like we did. Still, they give you the pager or call you, so you can go sightseeing nearby until your table is ready. read more

We were in town to watch a play and ended up having dinner at this restaurant. Street parking was available for free in front of the restaurant so that was a bonus. Server was friendly and quickly apologized after my first dinner option was not available. It was 5:30 pm so it must have been a popular day for turkey burgers. I settled for the steak tips cooked medium with their advertised pearl couscous. When my dinner came, it had some sort of wild rice wit broccoli. I brought this up to the server's attention and she told us that she thought that it came with couscous. This was followed by a visit from another person that I assume was the manager or owner (she didn't tell us who she was when she addressed us) who explained that they were going through a menu change. She offered to substitute the side but I declined. I think that a choice should have been offered at the time I ordered since they knew it wasn't available as listed on the menu. As for my dinner, the rice was under seasoned and my steak tips were unevenly cut which resulted in some tips being medium and many medium well. I liked the sauce served with the steak tips. We finished dinner sharing a strawberry shortcake. It looked pretty but the scone was super dry even with the strawberry sauce. Bathrooms were clean and I liked the kind message posted in case a person needed help. read more

Selected this spot out of curiosity because I had driven through town numerous times and wondered what the fare was like. It did not disappoint. I had the biscuits and sausage gravy with tots and loved every bite of it. You get your own medium-sized cantor of coffee which eliminates the need for the service personnel to keep running back to your table. Clean and friendly atmosphere. Prices were pocket-friendly too. Definitely going back. read more

The town of Concord is so charming. Main Street cafe is too! We love this restaurant for a quick bite. The service is always warm and food is quick. The restaurant is cozy with lots of tables. The caramel apple cider is one of my favorite drinks. read more

Main Streets Café - Turkey club sandwich - American Near Me - Concord, Massachusetts

I'm a repeat customer to this cafe whenever I'm in Concord, MA. The place is small and cozy and has that New England countryside vibe. The front is beautifully decorated with live plants and flowers with benches to watch people walk by. There are many quaint shops to browse in while waiting for our name to be called. We came here to eat after riding the bike trail with our bike rentals. I chose a bowl of New England clam and corn chowder which was fresh and delicious. My daughters had sandwiches each with chips and pickles. We ordered Lemonade to drink and it was too sweet that we didn't finish the drinks. They also have several flavors of ice cream. Staff were friendly, service was prompt, and prices affordable. read more

We had lunch here and were immediately seated in the lovely table at the window. It was around 2 and the lunch crowd was thinning out but we found the service to be really bad- we felt forgotten a few times - our meal took forever to come out and when it did, the fries were not hot and it seemed like maybe it sat waiting to be picked up. We waited way too long to pay our check. The bright side- My shrimp tacos were quite delicious and my side salad was such good quality lettuce - nice and fresh. I will come back- I think I saw that they are understaffed and asked for patience. Just wanted to say- it was not our best experience there. read more

Main Streets Café - shrimp tacos and side salad - American Near Me - Concord, Massachusetts

I've found MSC to be decent for weekday lunches but today (6 Sept) it was a most disappointing experience. The delivery time for the meal was just over an hour and that was after selecting the outdoor "takeout" seating. They took our phone number but after nothing had been received we went inside. The chap sorting the waitlist said "no-one gets reception out there". Indeed we had no signal sitting between 2 buildings. We ended up having to rotate coming inside to see if our meals had been deposited on a shelf (no-one calls you outside). We finally ate, 1 meal was poor the other 3 okay. This evening my wife reviewed the bill and found we'd been charged for carrots which should have been part of the meal. Next time we are in Concord we'll try one of the cafes, the experience surely can't be any worse. Closing thoughts, they claimed to be short staffed, were very busy yet kept taking folk and orders straining a tenuous supply chain. Really cannot recommend this place. read more

Beautiful place to go for lunch after a Little Woman day!!! Wonderful late lunch- split the super green salad, the burger special with garlic parm tots (soooooo good) and cornbread (also great with a sugar crust). Got some iced teas and called it a day. Great place, quick service - I'd return! Feels so New England read more

The good: no line and fast service. The bad: the coffee was weak and lacked flavor. I'd stop again if I needed a quick caffeine fix, but there are better coffee options nearby. read more

Had breakfast on thursday 7/2 and it was quite an experience! we started off with coffee and a fruit bowl ! every thing seemed to be going well or so we thought! ordered a scramble bowl with toast and y wife ordered two pieces of avocado toast ! fourty five minutes later (and three visits from the waitress whosaid repeatedly it is coming it's coming) it finally arrived! Avocado toast was cold my toast was not cooked and by now our coffee was cold ! all this for $60 we have tried to call the management a couple of times but they refuse to answer or return my call! Horrible just horrible! stay away from them read more

Sat at the bar ti hear live music and was gobsmacked by the most inattentive service ever. There were 4-5 different staff people in and out of the bar area yet no one acknowledged us for at least 20 min when we finally told someone we would like to look at a menu. Pretty much the only time we got service is when we specifically called out someone's attention and asked for it. Mind boggling. Food was decent and my meal and my husbands salad came pretty quickly. But then we had to ask for his main meal. Again we were sitting at the bar and still felt ignored and forgotten throughout. Don't see us returning read more

Food wasn't bad ( had the cheeseburger...they charge me extra for Swiss ) but the service was s-low, s-low, s-l-oooo-w. We had somebody who took our order and never gave us water to begin with so we had to go to the bar to request some water and they finally brought us some. Very slow on the follow up and it seems like a relatively crowded restaurant. I just think that the service could be a little improved only because we are about to see a show down the street and the crowd was picking up. This is also a bakery, so there's a lot of visitors coming in to place orders. read more

Stopped in here for a meal before going to a show. The place looked inviting and had that cafe vibe we were looking for. We were seated in a timely manner even though the place was busy but not crazy. I ordered a Main Streets Mule, what great drink! My partner tried to order the Turkey Feta Burger, however was told they had run out of Feta. This should have been pointed out from the start, highly doubt it had just happened and indicates poor communication within the employees. Instead we both went for the Steak Tips. When the Meals came out, there was a heap of wild grain rice and broccoli as the side, not pearled couscous as indicated in the menu. The steak tips were small and unevenly sized, resulting in unevenly cooked meat. Some well done and others the required medium rare. Nice sauce and good flavor but the texture on the smaller was like rehydrated beef jerky. The rice was flavorless! Needed salt and pepper in a desperate way. Upon questioning the server about the change in side, she quickly asked if we wanted something else. We told her we just wanted to know why the change in side without notification. What I assume is the Manager, came over about 10 minutes later and explained that they were changing menus and they no longer were serving couscous or steak tips for that matter. They were going with steak and rice. This just confirmed the poor communication that exists, and for $75 I would have expected a much a better meal. We did decide to order dessert, strawberry shortcake. We were informed that it could potentially be with a scone and biscuit, server didn't know which one it would be. What we got was a large dried out mixed berry scone with a strawberry sauce made from strawberries which had clearly started to turn to mush. Not the taste or texture we were expecting and while it wasn't bad, it also wasn't great. TLDR: overpriced food with an inaccurate menu and poor communication that impacts the customer. read more

Stopped by on a rainy Saturday to meet a friend for coffee. It was pretty busy but there were still empty tables. Ambiance is nice - very charming and comfortable except for the fact that it does get very crowded and therefore pretty loud. I ordered a hot coffee and the miniature cheesecake. They give you a small pot of coffee that fills about three of the little mugs they use. Coffee was decent. The cheesecake was good but incredibly sweet. I like my cheesecakes a little more on the tart side. The cherries that were served on top helped cut through the richness a little but there were only three of them. Also worth noting that they do have a few gluten free bakery items in the display case. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

What a great little cafe! My son and I were pooped after a full morning of sightseeing and walking. The food came quickly and was excellent. Our server, Tami, was wonderful - warm, super attentive and just really on the ball. If you find yourself in Concord, Mass, I highly recommend this lovely cafe! read more

Absolutely horrible. Waitress was actually nasty to us. We went for my aunts birthday for breakfast and wanted to have a nice time. My mom told waitress that the coffee was cold and the waitress said rudely "ITS COLD??" Then we ordered and proceeded to wait 40 minutes for our food without the waitress updating us and it was not busy. I ordered the bagel with lox and received eggs Benedict and when I said that's not what I ordered she just stared at me. Then we asked for burnt bacon and it came out basically uncooked. Waitress never came back to offer drink refills or ask how our food was. (My aunt needed another drink, someone needed more syrup and someone else wanted pepper) We had to ask for our check and she never said thank you. We will not be back. read more

Food is consistently good as is the service. Always busy, it is a vibrant spot in Concord so much nicer than a chain. The only downside today, dare I mention it? The TV was set on Fox News. read more

Came in to grab breakfast. Cute place with a lot of memorabilia on the walls. I ordered the waffles which came with choice of fruits. The waffle was ok it taste a little like the baking soda, assuming the batter was freshly made. The fruit was fresh. My husband got the special which was frittata that came with tots he enjoyed it. Service was ok. Street parking. read more

Work locally and always look for good spots to grab lunch in Concord center. Unfortunately, I and have generally been disappointed at every visit. Every few years I think I'll give them another try, and always walk away regretting it. Each time I've ordered food, the pickup has been late and has been a lot more expensive than the content warrants (size and quantity). At my last visit (recently in the past month), it was a hot day and I ordered a lemonade. The flavor was good, but I was waiting in line for ten minutes to place the order (with at least one staff member present but not taking orders or making anything), ordered just the drink, paid $8(!!!!) plus rip, and waited another five minutes to receive it. It was okay, but for the time, size, and price, I should've walked to Crosby's and bought a bottle of simply lemonade. Also this month, a coworker ordered lunch and had to pop out of work to pick it up. Not only was it not done on time, but they left work to pick it up FOUR TIMES after it was supposed to be done and kept getting blown off! When it was finally done, didn't get an apology, untensils, or anything. Overall, my review is that this resteraunt is a bit overrated; definitely a place that tourists flock to, but the overall experience is always subpar. Doesn't feel like they respect the time of their customers (which is particularly upsetting when it is causing multiple interruptions to a workday UW to inaccurate pickup times). May give it a try again in another year or so and will update the review then. read more

20 minute wait for someone to scoop 2 ice creams after paying. Not sure where she disappeared to- break-time?

The ambience was fine. But charging 26 bucks for a small chicken Caesar salad is absolutely ridiculous. And our waiter, Will H, was the rudest waiter I have ever encountered in my entire life. He was grumpy, gave us side eye, and fussed over the tip, actually reaching over us to pick it up off the table while acting annoyed. We were model customers, didn't ask him for a thing, ate and got out fast. THE WORST!!!! read more

Tonight was my first time at Main Streets for dinner. Was less than great. We had a reservation and were seated on time, but it took 10 minutes for any server to acknowledge us, bring water, etc. There was live music tonight, and we received our drinks just as the band was starting. They were at the end of their fourth song by the time our server came back and asked us if we were ready to order, 20 minutes. So after 40 minutes we hadn't even ordered appetizers. There are perhaps 15 tables in this restaurant so I was curious about the slowness, as there appeared to be plenty of staff. The tables around us seemed not to experience the same delays. One table that got there well after us received their food at about the same time we got ours. My dinner was okay. Salmon ($28) was small but tasty. The giant bed of pasta was your basic boxed cavatappi, nothing special. Not once did our server come back to fill our waters, or ask if we wanted more drinks. I had one beer the entire time there. I hate to ding this place, because they are one of my favorite breakfast spots when I'm out on my bike. Looks like I will be sticking to that. read more

Easy to slip in to this cozy place, where you can find a good burger & fries & salads. The wait staff is very friendly, too. We'll be back!

Are lunch here today with my family and we all had excellent meals. The Watermelon salad was so good and I added the cape cod chicken salad to it. My mom and I split this and they brought us separate bowls of it. So nice of them! My husband had the lobster roll and it was packed full of lobster and was delicious. Not tons of Mayo so you could taste the lobster. The waitress was nice to do half regular fries and half sweet potato fries. I tried a few sweet potato fries and they were good. My dad had the mussels and it was a generous portion with lots of garlic bread to soak up the broth/sauce. The clam chowder was just okay, but the cornbread that came with it was delicious! read more
