    We took our family there for evening meal on Easter Sunday. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. One family member ordered a steak sandwich and requested that it be prepared to medium well done. However, it came to her as very rare. Our waitress gave her the option of having it cooked to a more desired stage or ordering a completely new meal. Very helpful and responsive young lady! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Olde Main!!

    Disappointing easter brunch. We were there on the tail end of the brunch, but paid full price. No prime rib or salmon left. Broccoli and potatoes were dried out. Donuts were like bagels with frosting. Grilled cheese bar was fun for my family, but i dont care for thick texas bread. Made to order omelets were good, but the guy did not actually make it as ordered.... and well, not that care too much, but he was dressed like he was going to a skatepark, not work. Overall, it was a very expensive piece of ham with chunks of cheese, an omelet, tomato soup and miniature pieces of carrot cake. I will NEVER return. Not worth $26. The sentiment was the same among the rest of my family.

    W will try the Sunday brunch again but the Easter brunch was over priced and underwhelming. They were not prepared for the crowd.

    I'd recommend for the Brewing evening type visit, not Easter Sunday Brunch. It isn't a place for that.

    We made reservations for 10 and were seated at a table for nine. They added a chair on the end where we were continually bumped into by both the wait staff and the customers. Our drinks came half way through the meal because there was an issue with glasses. The food was cold, not even luke warm. When it came time for the bill, our server was no where to be found. We finally tracked down another server to bring the bill. I want to like Olde Main, but am consistently disappointed. Lesson learned.

    Brunch is overpriced. Lines are too long, food is mediocre. Would not recommend.

    Easter Brunch was delicious! The bottomless Mimosa was a hit. There was a large variety of items to choose from. Would defiantly go back.

    Easter buffet was delicious... some of the food like the potatoes could have been warmer.

    I loved the atmosphere. Very unique However, I thought the food choices were somewhat odd. The only potato offered was the homemade chips The only vegetable was broccoli BUT, what I did take was good. Bacon, French toast, ham, grilled cheese, salmon. For the price, no I guess we would not come back for brunch. BUT, might come back and order off the menu.
