I have been going to this place for almost 10 years even before their remodel. There is always a line but totally worth the wait, I took my in laws for their first time & they loved it. I will take them back again & again.

This is a great gem in this little town. Staff was super friendly. It is a walkup with plenty of seating, but they are quick to get your meal ordered and prepared. Food is hot and delicious. My teens raved about their burgers ($4-8), and the sandwiches were pretty good too. The fish and chips were outstanding ($10). One or... More

Best tri-tip sandwiches in the world! Be sure to bring cash because they don't do checks or cards. Cash only. Always a line but super fast. They also have a few TV's with sports on. Full service bar.

The food was good. Great friendly staff. They close at 8 pm but they did still serve us when we arrived just at closing time.

This was my third visit to the Main Street Grill over the past 15 years. If I needed an excuse to visit California it would be to come back to this place. When people ask me what it's like I say it's a cross between a barn and a sports bar. The food is just terrific. This time I tried... More

We always have several meals here during our annual family vacation to Cambria. The favorites have been the Cobb salad, pulled pork and the BBQ tri tip & chicken. It's a nice atmosphere for family and kids, big screen TV's showing various sporting events and lots of seating.

Be realistic. Cambria is an isolated beach town with possibly the worst beaches in California. The town is a profligate trap de tourista. It's almost always cloudy and usually foggy. In short...quintessential Central Coast beach town. Many meals here over the last 12 years. This is the only place we eat in this enclave. Cash only. Order...pay...wait...be fulfilled. Complainers have... More

Ate here with friends who recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We all had their tri-tip BBQ sandwich and it was really good. The salads, fries and onion rings were also very good and large portions. If your in Cambria I would recommend this restaurant for a very good BBQ sandwich.

Average sports bar that seemed pricey. Draft US beers were $4 each. They do not accept credit cards or checks - cash only.
