We had a great lunch at the Main Street Diner. We arrived shortly after noon and found that there was ample seating. The diner did fill up quickly but the lone waiter did a great job at serving all the tables. I had the soup and sandwich lunch special. It was $9.75 and I got a delicious fresh egg salad... More

The last time my friend and I had dinner at this restaurant, the service was atrocious. We were seated at the front of the restaurant and had to wait half an hour before being given the opportunity to order food. A couple, who were seated after we were, was waited on before us and they had their food fifteen minutes... More

Quirky service, good music, basic diner decor. Large menu with a focus on Greek food. Tasty food and good sized portions. Good value.

If you lick the feel of old scjhool dining, then this is the place for you - a blast from the past right on Baker street in the middle of everything

If you are looking for a wide array on the menu with ample space for all party sizes this is it! They have a patio outside, which is a very nice option in the summer.

Middle Eastern, burgers, souvlaki, roast lamb, fish & chips; this has been an excellent Nelson eatery for many years, and still holds up as a great place to eat!

We go there even if we don't know what we want to eat. It's your basic Greek diner with lots more. There's always something satisfying. Terrific service. Attentive management. Full bar. The lamb is great every day.

This place has been around for ages and is still a favorite of mine. Not as popular as it used to be and it could use a redecorating and perhaps some menu changes... but they still serve up the best fish and chips in town - halibut in local beer batter and fresh cut fries. And the staff are great,... More

This busy spot has been around since I was a kid. Empty walls are soon forgotten as the food is tremendous! Fries are maybe worlds best and their burgers or fish and chips are my top choices. Few years ago I was worried it had taken a turn for the worse but last couple trips to Nelson it seems to... More
