We go up to Cambria for a weekend every year and make it a point to go to the Main Street Grill for lunch. They have an extensive menu, but you can't go wrong with the Tri-Tip sandwich. In fact we are going this weekend and I am eagerly looking forward to one as I write this. One caveat: It... More

You go up and order at the counter, stuff like salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches. This is a great affordable option for dinner in comparison to the fancier restaurants in town.

Was she ever right! Very casual and low key - counter service, sports channels on multiple big screens, comfortable high and low... More

Nothing fancy about this place. Walk up to the counter, place your order, sit back and enjoy everything from hamburgers, salad, pulled pork and ribs to fish and chips. Good, adequate dining on a budget. Beer and wine available. Rick Smith http://HowToSellYourVideos.com More
