Review 290 Main Restaurant & Lounge - Malden

Food was really something else, like a flavor explosion each time. Loved it! A little heavy on the salt and garlic for your average person but personally I liked it. One thing I will say is the portions were small for the price even despite that caveat of a flavor explosion, not much steak on the 20$ steak tips for example. Still worth it, especially given the decor and the atmosphere.

I love the atmosphere, Mango Cart is the best beer I have ever had, the food is delicious, and the bartender & owner are super friendly. I can’t wait to get back and see some live music. Very cool place, highly recommended!!

i have eaten here and ordered take-out, at least 15+ times, and have had both good and bad “experiences” - I normally try to give good reviews, no matter the experience… but i feel like i’ve wasted money- on more than one occasion. Tonight I ordered Fish & Chips- and im more than disappointed, to say the least! I have never seen fish so over cooked! it was so crunchy that i couldn’t eat much of it. and for the “actual fish” (what was left of it)was stuck to the breading and tasted like the batter and grease, rather than haddock !! Tonight i went out of my comfort zone tonight beccause the last time I ordered my “Usual” (pulled pork sand.) it was waaay overcooked and pretty skimpy, compared to previous times.- i ended up eating just the french fries, because well…. have you ever tried eating a burnt pork sandwich??

This place has excellent food, great atmosphere (especially in the outdoor eating area) and friendly staff. The outdoor eating area has games for the kids to do while you enjoy your meal. (They always finish early, am I right?) There is also a comfy patio set around a fire pit, plus picnic tables with umbrellas. But get there early or at off times, because this place is busy at lunch and dinner. That's a good thing, right?

This place is always great! Food is delicious and so are the drinks. Priced well! Outside dining is fun.

They always have the best tasting food around! The food never disappoints! It's always better then the time before. Yummy. Definitely recommend them. I've never been for a drink at the bar or to see a live band but ive heard great things & seen bands play briefly while grabbing take out order. Looks like alot of fun & a good time. They even have a great big outdoor area for summer time. Beautiful setting. Check it out for yourself you won't regret it. 💯

290 slayed it for Valentine's Day! Amazing salmon, beef, scallops (pickled red onions were a magnificent touch), dim sum tacos, and stuffed bread balls... I forget the proper names hahaha but their staff is always friendly and their specials are ALWAYS 100% awesome. Comfortable outdoor seating seasonally and a huge variety of 290 apparel... they even make their own cocktail-themed candles now! Ryan and Pete have done something great here and I love to watch it progress. My favorite place in the Oxford Hills area.

Excellent food and perfect night to sit outside while listening to live music.
