We stopped in for a quick dinner with friends on Wednesday night. Our dinner was SO good we had to come back Friday night too! The food was amazing and really fair prices for the portions. Our service was great both nights and on Friday the owner was present and checking on tables as well making sure every guest was satisfied. We will 10000% be back!
Food is always good no matter what you get, this place is whatever you make it to be, to YOU it could be a bar, a fancy restaurant, or a somewhat quick bite to eat. It kinda floats on the fine line between formality and eating in a warehouse, These home cooked meals definitely beat the fast food in town
Been here several times been meaning to give my opinion of the restaurant. We went on a Tuesday night. Place was already rolling. Yet they have plenty of seating and we got in and got seated. Our waitress was on the ball and very attentive and very friendly throughtout our whole stay. The atmosphere is good. As I said plenty of seating and a nice bar area. They have a diverse drink selection yet don’t be afraid to ask for a drink that may not be on the menu the bartenders are very knowledgeable and very good at what they do. The food was cooked well. Not a big lemon pepper wing fan. But I tried one of my daughters and was very well pleased. The fries are amazing. I plan to go back and try some more of the different flavored wings. The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly. The Creole rice I was in love with. For me it could have been a tad more spicy. I live for spice so for me the spicy the hotter the better lol. Definitely plan to be back again soon.
Nestled in the heart of Montevallo, The Main Street Tavern offers a cozy and welcoming dining experience. From the moment you step in, the friendly staff makes you feel right at home, setting the tone for a pleasant visit. The menu is varied, and the food is undeniably good. During my visit, I enjoyed a hamburger that, while flavorful and well-prepared, seemed a bit smaller than I had anticipated. Despite this minor observation, the overall quality of the meal was satisfying. The popularity of the place speaks for itself – it was bustling with patrons who clearly appreciate what The Main Street Tavern has to offer. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I’d recommend giving it a try for its great atmosphere and tasty food. It’s a spot that leaves you looking forward to your next visit.
First time in tonight, and was not disappointed. The food was so good, portions were huge, and service was great. The collard green dip was amazing. We met Jeff the owner, he was super nice and attentive. We will be back soon and already telling friends about it.
Stopped by for lunch and ordered the cheesesteak and patty melt meals. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the cheesesteak was packed with meat on fresh, soft bread—definitely a winner. The patty melt was cooked to order and tasted great. The pricing was reasonable for two meals with drinks, and the service was excellent. This was my first visit, but I’ll definitely be coming back soon!
Just an all out great place. I love the food, especially the Q burger and the jerk chicken pasta, their cheese curds are a great appetizer and their pecan cobbler is amazing, best desert out there. I go fairly often, great portion sizes, you won't leave this place hungry!
Great place for tavern style food. Not starving and not too adventurous I showed up. The server was prompt and good with people. Food was quick and the portions exceeded expectations. I had the pimento cheese burger and was happy that it had plenty of it's namesake. The burger was juicy and well cooked and the fries that come with it were delicious and battered just like I like. Ordered a side of Mac and cheese and got a Mac and cheese dinner and it was thick and had a perfect bite to the macaroni instead of the usual limp noodle. Very good for a non baked Mac. Paid right above twenty before tip but couldn't finish my sides. Sweet tea filled in any extra space. Great place local place. Loved the "Go to the Tavern or the devil will get you" shirts
