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.

Another delicious dining establishment. Food was great, not to heavy. Good prices and a good variety. Salads came in 2 sizes and were plentiful

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

The BBQ pork ribs were very good, very meaty and had a nice sauce on the side. But I can't wait to have more of their chicken tacos. Big chunks of chicken, fresh lettuce and cheese on a flour tortilla.

If you're in the mood for a exceptional burger or tri-tip sandwich, the Main Street grill is the place for you. The fries, onion rings and cole slaw are also TOP DRAWER. This is the best spot in town for a quick, reasonably priced, great tasting food, restaurant you will find. Will make this a must every time we are... More

Friends recommended this place and we weren't disappointed. The tri tip sandwich was tender and delicious! The barbecue sauce was yummy! Prices weren't outrageous either. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

This place does one heck of a business. I would venture that this is the busiest restaurant in Cambria. This is not fancy at all. You order at the counter, and go get your food when your number is called. There are many big screen TV's usually showing sports. But for what this place lacks in "style", it makes up... More
