Old-fashioned fast-food option serving burgers, hot dogs & fries, plus shakes & floats.

This is one of the absolute best burger joints, not only in Meridian, but in Ada County. My food is always so good, made with such care, and cooked to perfection.
The young gentleman at the counter is so kind and so respectful, courteous. Food takes quite a bit of time here, but that is because it is made fresh, and it is made to perfection! IE it’s REAL FOOD.
I will always make time for a bacon cheeseburger at Main Street!
Today we indulged in a western bacon cheeseburger, and a tot. It cost about $15, but it was so worth it. I was able to eat half and she was able to eat the other half and the rest of the tots. The Size of burger and tots were enough for a couple or two friends to split (=
My side of the burger was so big that I smashed it trying to take a bite and then I remembered I needed to take a picture lol Oopsie
Anyway. ENJOY. Remember to bring some patience and that your food is real and that takes time. Best wishes MSB

VERDICT: A great place to get a fresh burger and crispy onion rings when you’re in the neighborhood.
FOOD: The bacon western cheeseburger here is top-notch. The patty is juicy yet had a crisp crust, coated on one side with melted cheese. The vegetables added crispness with a fresh accent of flavor. The onion ring (in the burger as well as the ones I stole from my company) were rich and crunch as they should be without excessive oil. The bacon served its purpose, though I tend to prefer my bacon more of a crisp crumble rather than having the slightest chew, but the burger was no “worse-for-the-wear.” The fries were ok. Crisp and salty, not too oily, but done better than average. The onion rings are some of the better I’ve had in the valley, so my recommendation will definitely be to try them over the fries.
SERVICE: Quick and accurate. Solid service.
ATMOSPHERE: When it comes to vintage themed/styled burger shops, this one has that feel with limited inside seating adjacent to picture windows, while outdoor seating is also available with umbrellas for shade. I appreciate they don’t lean too heavily into it with repetitious, old music, but rather just let me converse in a more quiet setting with my company.

It’s been a long time since our last visit. We used to go a lot when my mother-in-law was living behind Albertsons. Small and charming diner with hot rod decor. Sometimes it can get busy at lunch and there are only so many tables to be had.
The menu is short, but they have been delivering great burgers for a long time.
Stopped in today and split a burger with the main squeeze. We had the Five Alarm burger. The burgers are 1/3lb and the meat had great flavor. No real heat for us, but some could find it spicy. Pickled jalapenos are hit and miss for heat anyway. Toasted bun and a good amount of toppings on the burger.
The onion rings were tasty and fried perfectly. Buying a soda gets you one refill. Plenty of food for two seniors, I think.

The place was clean. The food was fresh. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger and the bacon cheeseburger with guacamole and an order finger steaks. The soda was good not watery. They also serve alcohol here, but we did not get any on this trip. The server was friendly and they got our order pretty quickly within about five minutes we dined inside. I would recommend at least give it a try!

We were craving a good burger and found this burger place. It didn’t disappoint. The bacon cheese burger was so yummy and the fries with their fry sauce were so good. Even tried the vanilla milk shake. Very good. We will be back to try the chicken sandwich and steak fingers.

It’s not all just talk! While easy to miss, this Meridian staple is of the best burger joints in the Treasure Valley! This is one of my go-to’s for a mouthwatering, classic burger. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The menu is simple and the prices are extremely reasonable. All burgers are 1/3 pound and come with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, fresh onion and tangy pickles. My husband and I both enjoyed a Bacon with Cheese ($8.99) with a side of fries and drinks (+$4.99) as well as a small Oreo milkshake ($6.00). Damn, was that burger GOOD. The bacon of was of excellent quality. The cheese was beautifully melted. It truly was a perfect, classic burger. Each bite really delivered a symphony of flavors, especially with a lil dab of fry sauce. The fries were nicely salted and paired wonderfully dipped in the rich, velvety milkshake.
Main Street Burger has all the vibes of an old-school, small town burger joint despite being located right in the middle of busy Meridian. I really felt a strong sense of nostalgia and comfort as I enjoyed my meal. The service was top-notch as well. We were given the wrong milkshake (vanilla), but they were so apologetic and willing to remake it, we ended up keeping it. It tasted better with the fries than Oreo would have anyway.
10/10 recommend!

We stopped here on a whim and we’re so glad we did. My husband and I both got bacon cheeseburgers and fries. The burgers were absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and tasty. There’s not a lot of tables for dine in, but it was still a cute place. The service was friendly and the experience was great. We would definitely go back.

I’m sad to say that this place has lost its charm and quality over the years, and it has gone downhill in the last year or so. I used to love coming here since I was a teenager, but this was the last straw. I ordered chicken strips with tater tots and a burger, expecting the same delicious food I remembered. But what I got was disappointing and unacceptable. The chicken strips were clearly frozen and processed, not the fresh and hand-breaded ones they used to serve. The burger was undercooked and pink inside. The tots had black speckles on them, even though I requested no seasoning, so I can only assume they were burnt bits from the fryer. And the service was slow, even though I was the only customer in line. I used to understand that, since everything was cooked to order, but not anymore. I could have made better food at home with frozen ingredients, and probably faster. I hate to say it, but this place is no longer worth your time or money.

I will say this is one of the best burgers I have had in Boise. The flavors were wonderful. I had a mushroom and swiss. It was really good tasting. I tried some of my wife single cheese burger that was even better. The fresh lettuce, tomato and onions just popped with the 1/3 pound burger. My fries were a little cold but the taters were hot and good. The restaurant was small but nice atmosphere. Staff was nice. I had a great experience. I will also agree it was a little pricy for what you get however the taste was well worth it.
