Main Eatery

My family and I found this restaurant around the corner from the science center. The staff was lovely and the food was delicious. My husband and I both thought the soups we got were awesome (broccoli/cheddar & garden). Highly recommend for a nice place to sit and enjoy some tasty food :)

A rare find. Great food and service. Theres a sign in the restaurant that says Be Kind. Its obvious that everyone who works there lives by those words.

Main Eatery has the best cooked chicken I've ever had. I can't stress enough how good this chicken was. The gentleman working at the counter explained how it was prepared, with seasoning, cooking, and pressing. I listened and understood, but I didn't fully grasp what he was saying. I ordered a typical salad and got the chicken on top as a protein. As per my usual style, I eat the salad first and save the protein for the end as a little treat. Even after consuming my salad, the chicken was still warm. And it was still moist. And it was definitely delicious. But the thing I couldn't believe was just how moist and tender it was. I'm so used to salads with cold and dry chicken on top. This was anything but typical. The salad came with two cups of dressing on the side. I didn't even use them, that's how good this chicken was. Get whatever else you want here, but make sure you try the grilled chicken too. My wife got the tuna sandwich and really enjoyed it. She shared a quarter of it with our kid, who also said it was great. Our kid also got the tomato bisque. Our kid's complaint about it was that it was too sweet. I took a few bites and I agreed. However, I also finished the 3/4's of the bowl remaining that my kid didn't eat. So it wasn't my favorite tomato bisque by a long shot (because it was too sweet), but it was still enjoyable as a special treat. As far as service goes, we loved interacting with the gentleman at the register. He took his time with each customer, explaining the menu items, their origins, how they are prepared, etc. He even took the time to answer all our kid's questions about how the desserts were made. He was a pleasure to speak with and it showed his passion for the business and food. It might have slowed the line down a bit, but nobody in line seemed to mind at all. They knew they'd be cared for and they knew the food would be fresh and fantastic. Vegetarian options: Our 12 year old pescatarian was able to choose from the options available, plus it seemed like the kitchen would help out if needed. Parking: It's downtown Louisville. Parking is a pain. We walked the mile from our hotel rather than trying to deal with parking garages or meters. Kid-friendliness: There were plenty of kids in the restaurant and plenty of kids in line to get food too. The food is delicious and hopefully that goodness motivates the little ones to enjoy and behave.
