Down On Mainstreet

Down on Main Street in downtown Washington North Carolina is a wonderful restaurant with great service, wonderful food, and a terrific atmosphere! We were there for a late lunch and it was a terrific place to go. The staff welcomed us and seated us quickly, and our server gave great recommendations and followed up to our table perfectly when we needed more water or drink fill up or to order. Super comfortable well times in no inconvenient moments at all. I had the shrimp and grits lunch… It was divine. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The grits were firm, but tender, and the sauce was rich. It felt like exactly the food. I should be eating when visiting North Carolina. Super delicious. My friend Bill had salmon and rice and a house salad. Everything was super fresh and everything tasted great. (according to Bill). I would visit this place again in a heartbeat for the excellent atmosphere and flavors… It’s on my list!

Great food. A little on the pricey side. The bathroom needs a lot of work. Overall good experience

We came in for lunch around 1 pm on a Wednesday and the place was pretty busy! We were promptly seated and placed our order for unsweet tea (which was very good) and a starter of their crab and shrimp dip (pictured) - which was delicious! For our entrees, hubs had the Big Joe's Chicken Philly (Fire grilled peppers and onions, tender chicken pieces in a hoagie and covered with swiss cheese) with a side of their sweet potato fries (which were like waffle fries). I tried their "Nauti Philly" (Shaved ribeye with sautéed onions and mushrooms -without the bell peppers) with their home made potato chips and a pickle. This was one of the best sandwiches that I've had in quite some time. The ribeye was flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned, covered with some American cheese in a fresh hoagie roll. Even though we were full, we tried their Peanut Butter Cream Pie, which was delicious and served cold, which was perfect on a hot summer day! Not including tax or tip, (and the 4% fee for using a credit card - very annoying), the bill was about $58.00. Overall, the best food I've had all week in Washington, NC! I would highly recommend and gladly return! 10/10
