A lot appears to be home made here including the ketchup, jam and sausage. I'm assuming the hashbrowns were too. They were finely shredded and so good. They had some fun specials. We will be back if we are back in the area. Our waitress was very friendly too!

We had a fairly solid brunch at Main Street cafe! Always love a good breakfast option in the square…read moreand they have a quite large menu to choose from. The interior is tiny but the seating options are more plentiful than it would seem! The interior is lovely and there is a beautiful mural of the lake county fairgrounds that deserves to be admired. My only suggestion would be to perhaps consider changing their television programming. Regardless of political views I can't imagine many customers want to come to brunch and watch Fox News. It makes the brunch experience feel a little too much a truck stop diner vibe. The music was nice so either eliminate the tvs all together or throw on something more pleasant. For food we went with the chicken fried steak sandwich and a Mexican skillet. I appreciate that the avocados were all very fresh! Overall it was very good. The sandwich was huge and so delicious!

I've been going here for many years. yesterday, 10/27/25 I visited to find their new menu which is…read moreVERY limited. I ordered a gyro and the indifferent waitress (who is always in the place acting agitated) tells me "we're out of gyros". We walked out. I used to see the owners every visit but now it appears the kids have taken over and are determined to ruin the place. We have probably eaten here 50 times or more over the years but yesterday was the last visit with these numbskulls. Right down the street is "Greek Islands"...better food, nicer people. Mainstreet is a trainwreck and the kids don't even realize they've run it off course.

The burgers are a smash like burger with crispy edges and every bite reminds me of a warm hug. The service is always consistent no matter the location and your food always comes up fast, almost like they are waiting for your order before you even arrive. The vibe is classic diner style. They are known for their burgers and melts but also learned that they serve breakfast. There are also tons of other menu items to choose from if you are not in the mood for their classics. I will always return to Schoops when I am in the area.

I've only been here once so take it with a grain of salt. Came on a Sunday around 3:30. There were…read moremaybe 3 tables. When we walked in no one greeted us so we went to find a seat and then some guy showed us the sign that said please wait to be seated pretty rudely (it was turned around not even open for the public to see) - Luckily we looked at him weird "like who are you" and then a hostess greeted us so we were done with him - which is good. Really hope he wasn't the owner because that's not how you greet someone, especially when there's three tables filled only. Regardless - We opted to sit in the movie room - hence my blue photos. The service was really long, but we got our waters, and a drink each and watched a movie while we waited for our order. Server said the burgers are excellent. I got the double cheeseburger. I promise you, it was the worst meat I'd tasted in a very long time. Why? It was completely over seasoned with salt and pepper - I am talking inedible...Could not finish it. We also got a salad with grilled chicken on it. The dressing was good but didn't have much lettuce on it - just a lot of toppings. Overall - we won't spent our money here again.

The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and I loved that they took the time to decorate so nicely for the holiday. The inside was done really well and made the whole place feel even more welcoming. The service was undeniably great. The girl handling the coffee told me "my pleasure" when I asked for a half cup on my refill, which stuck with me because it was such a small but genuine touch. Our waitress was also very easygoing and pleasant, and she made the meal that much better. The coffee was spectacular, and the food was outstanding. The waffle was absolutely magical. Everything about this visit made me want to come back, and I already can't wait to try lunch next time. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

The restaurant it self is quaint but homie and it was like a family event almost. I would definitely bring family and friends but with the size of my family I will have to apologize for the wait after we are seated LOL

Very good daily specials here too, think it's $4 or $5 for the specials(soup and sandwich) Only qualms I have is that it could use some modernization or a little TLC to get it into better shape. Ceiling tiles are kinda gross with grease stains from the cooking and old smoke stains. No biggie though, plates and tables are clean and that's what I eat off, Not the ceiling. Service is good, quick and friendly which is what counts.
