Stopped in here for lunch just as they opened the door at 11am. Our order consisted of the classic burger with fries (no pic since it was typical burger), the rodeo burger with chili lime fries and lastly the blue moon burger with Cajun fries. We seated ourselves and were served in a reasonable amount of time as everything was cooked to order. It’s a small quaint place and seating was limited, but still felt comfortable. Each burger was delicious, juicy and had a rich beefy flavor. Grab a bunch of napkins, they’re that juicy. All 3 of us really enjoyed our burgers with our selected delicious toppings. The flavored fries were excellent, not surprisingly they were devoured. 3 burgers each with a side orders of fries and 3 drinks came to about $50, it’s the norm today, but based on the exceptional flavors, it was worth every penny. It’s worth the trip as it is better than other well known quality burger places.

wondered why this place was so highly rated, found out fast. nice atmosphere with back patio area, nice servers, and good prices for quality meal. had the jalapeno burger, blue cheese burger, and rodeo burger, along with regular and cajun fries. everyone loved their burgers. I like the plain fries more with some ketchup, but both were good.

My husband and I stopped here on the way home from NYC and wow, what a find. It’s not big at all (only seats a few people, but there is a small patio), but the burgers were excellent. Smash burger style and done to perfection. Great fries too. We will definitely be stopping there again sometime!

Main Street Cravings has finally brought the local smash burger scene to Clinton, NJ, and it was well worth the wait! This spot offers both indoor and outdoor seating in a simple yet effective setting that lets the food speak for itself.
We dove straight into two “Main Event” burgers, each featuring two perfectly cooked patties topped with cheese and their signature Crave sauce. Served on a soft Martin’s potato bun, the burger’s texture and flavor profile were a great balance. We opted to skip the onions and pickles, keeping the focus on those fantastic core ingredients.
To accompany our burgers, we ordered a side of their crispy fries. And for a truly unique touch, Main Street Cravings serves bottled Mexican Coke, which, as any soda connoisseur knows, offers a distinctly sweeter and superior taste.
Overall, the burgers were fantastic! I highly recommend a visit for anyone craving a top-notch smash burger. We’ll definitely be back soon to try their grilled chicken sandwiches!

Randomly stopped in off the highway to grab some food, I was far from disappointed. Walked in the door and was immediately welcomed with a smile. My brother and I ordered burgers and a hotdog, I must say the food was a solid 10/10 from the Cajun fries to the burgers and hotdogs . We decided to sit out back to enjoy our meal and that was also so relaxing and private area to enjoy your meal. I will be returning with my family in the future.

The patties are juicy and flavorful, the buns are soft and buttery, and the toppings are fresh and generous—just look at that lettuce! Whether you go for a simple cheeseburger or one loaded with bacon, onion rings, and barbecue sauce, every bite feels like it’s made to order. And let’s not forget the fries—crispy, golden, and just the right amount of salty.
The outdoor setup adds a nice touch, especially if you’re visiting on a sunny day. It’s casual, friendly, and exactly the kind of place you’d expect to find on a charming small-town main street.

Easily the best burgers in Clinton! fair prices, quick service, delicious food. Got the Main Event double smash burger and my wife got a Classic. Smash burgers had a great Maillard Reaction on them, they were constructed and cooked beautifully. We also got Chili Cheese Fries and the chili was amazing, fries were perfectly cooked as well! They have hot dogs, so I will definitely be returning for a chili cheese dog soon. I also saw that they had a special chili burger with Fritos on it, that sounds awesome and will be enjoying soon as well! Glad to have a spot like this in town, it was much needed.

We were in town looking for a place to eat And came upon the cutest restaurant! we were immediately greeted with friendly hospitality. we ordered several things off the menu and the food was honestly hands-down incredible everything was freshly made and came out fast. Their unique fountain drinks was definitely a plus (Red Birch beer & cream soda) and of course your regular sodas are available. Their burgers were so juicy and flavorful made with great fresh ingredients. The hotdogs were flavorful and a great portion size! The french fries were cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend the chili cheese fries! Lastly, but not least the owners and staff! I got the chance to speak to them, The restaurant is family owned and are the kindest, most loving people. I got to see how they treated every guest, that walked in with such warmth and kindness. 10 out of 10 place Definitely recommend coming into cravings!
