Main Streets Café

We have mixed feelings concerning this restaurant. First, parking for this location can be a slight challenge since there is no dedicated parking lot for this restaurant, but there is the Concord Town Lot and a few streetside parking slots that are all relatively close by so not a major issue. The restaurant is quite small inside, but we heard they have some sort of outdoor seating along the side of the building, which we did not really pay attention too. We were seated in the corner area to the left once you entered the restaurant and for a party of ten people crowded around a small table it was not an idle situation. The service was a little slow, maybe because there were not enough staff to handle the flow of traffic, which was quite high at the time of our visit. Because of this, it did take some time to not only get waited on but to also receive our food. As for the food, there were mixed reviews depending on what you ordered. In general, the food was alright, and the prices are what you would expect for a restaurant catering primarily to tourists visiting North Bridge. The staff members were alright, but nothing special one way or another, they seemed to have the hands full and not much time to chat with the folks. We would probably not come here again, but there are not many better choices in the center of Concord. We tried, and the two other locations we went to first, were even smaller than this location. Oh, I almost forgot, the dessert options and the pastries, while not healthy in any sense of the word, were fantastic and we enjoyed them most of all. But heck, who doesn’t enjoy a wonderful, tasty dessert.

We had a late lunch in a week day. Still a bit crowd but got seat right away. We ordered Fish Stew with Steam mussels which was really tasty. Other food please see my pictures..All tasted good.

Perfect spot for any informal meal! True New England experience in a historic but well maintained spot! My husband and I enjoyed a Sunday brunch there after a great hike. The food, service, interior, atmosphere were all top notch! The Butternut squash soup with goat cheese was an unusual but exquisite twist on the all-time Fall NE menu item. The roasted beet salad with mandarines was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented Ruben wiry tater tots was great as well. Our waiter was very courteous and helpful. We will go there again in the future.

The Cafe was incredibly busy, but we were lucky and were seated right away. We watched as the experienced servers managed the rush with calm - they'd done this a few times before! The food was as good as the experience. Meanwhile, the building was full of items and information about Concord!
