Main Street Cafe in downtown Madison is set in the old City Hall next to the railroad. The train went by while we were dining. It was cool to watch the train from the windows.
They have a lunch menu and daily specials. I chose the chicken and dumplings from daily special. They had ran out at 11:45 after opening at 11:00 AM. It must be really popular and looked great at another table.
We had the five cheese ravioli with a side salad and the Georgia chicken. The Georgia Chicken was delicious. The chicken had hot peach sauce and pecans and came with green beans and mashed potatoes, as well as a homemade roll.
The ravioli was good but not as good as the Georgia chicken.
The service was okay and the food arrived quickly after ordering.

A friend of mine invites me to eat lunch with her at Main Street Cafe on Thursday, November 6th, 2025. The restaurant is so adorable It’s interesting that the train comes right behind the building. That was a little unnerving. Lol. Anyway, the food was delicious We ordered mozzarella sticks and corn nuggets as our appetizers. The mozzarella sticks were okay, but I was looking for a dynamic cheese pull when I take a bite. The marinara sauce tasted good with the cheese sticks. The corn nuggets were so delicious. My mom used to make them when I was a kid. That first bite took me back to my childhood. My friend and I ordered The Chicken Dressing with Gravy, Green beans, and a roll for our main course. The roll was so soft and delicious. The green beans could have used a little more seasoning but the meal was good. The food was affordable because the meal was only $15.00. I will be back again and when I do, I plan to order some corn nuggets!

I came here for the 1st time on a girls lunch.We arrived a little before 11:30. By the time we got there, there was already a good little crowd but we were seated pretty quickly. After looking over the menu our waiter came to take our order. I wanted to try the seafood quiche unfortunately they were already out. They were out of the other items i wanted to try, so I settled for the seafood salad. I was already disappointed that they didn’t have anything i wanted but when they brought that seafood salad I was beyond disappointed. I thought when I saw salad it meant lettuce of some sort this was a freaking PASTA salad. It didn’t taste bad but I definitely didn’t think that’s what I had ordered.I also had the broccoli salad & some onion rings. None of the things I ordered tasted bad but I would have never put those things together as a meal especially one that I had to pay for but these were the only things I saw that I thought would be ok to try and that were available. I guess this place just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I ordered the chicken salad plate and was amazed by the generous serving of homemade chicken salad. The pea salad, frozen artic fruit salad, and pumpkin bread were all exceptional and full of flavor. The portions were very satisfying, making it a truly delightful and hearty meal.

This is our first time visiting and we enjoy the atmosphere and the food! The blackened pork chop is on point and very tender and flavorful! Our server is very friendly and kind to our kiddos. Our overall experience is great. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and what the little cute area had to offer.

We were visiting the area and was looking for a place to eat. Found this place on Google and decided to try.
We were so very very happy we did!
They greet you when you walk in with a smile and get you a table pretty quickly.

Always smiling, very helpful with food suggestions and kept our tea glasses full! (Best sweet tea EVER!)
And the food was AMAZING!!!!!
Highly recommend!

I do enjoy a restaurant like this, one that is quiet, no frills but just good home style cooking. Steaks, chicken, green beans, yeast rolls, drinks with alcohol or not, desserts, much more, located in an historic area with a quaint hometown feeling.

I chose Main Street Cafe for my birthday dinner this year and it did not disappoint! The wait staff were very hospitable and the food was delicious. This was our second time here and we will definitely be back!

Hubby had the Cheesy Meatloaf. I had the Georgia Chicken. Both dishes were served bordering on cold. The hot peach sauce was anything but hot. The food tasted very good and had it been served hot, would have given it 5 stars. The place was busy and loud.

I have gone here since I was little. Food has always been amazing, and it’s such a nice place to meet up with friends for a nice lunch. They were the first place we thought of for catering for our Christmas. I felt absolutely awful because my brain was two days behind for when it was supposed to be, and then I got a call that it was supposed to be today. I felt mortified, and it was completely my fault. I hate wasting people’s time and put a huge effort into not doing it to workers. I forgot the young girl’s name, but she handled it with grace and waited on me. I made sure to tip 40% for her time. Thank y’all so much for your consistency with yummy food and your customer service.
