A must stop if you're in Nelson. Awesome food, great beverages, and friendly staff. Must try the mojito smoothy! The fish and chips were some of the best we've had. Not greasy or over beaded; just right and all the fixings including the coleslaw was tasty. The mushrooms on the mushroom cheese burger were to die for. I could have just eaten those on their own. This stop for lunch was memorable and perfect. Thank you Main Street Diner for exceeding all expectations.
Great spot in downtown Nelson! Love that there is outside seating with patio heaters - great for those who are covid conscious and don't want to sit inside. Beautiful setting.
The surf and turf burger was so good! Fries were super crunchy and soft on the inside.
Our waitress was attentive and offered some pleasant small talk, and was knowledgeable about the menu so could answer all our questions.
Baked Potato Poutine ❤️ Fantastic service, thank you Lawrence ☺️ Ambiance was warm and welcoming. Definitely heading back to try some other dishes!
Excellent food and service! Their tzatziki dip is amazing, and they have the best garlic toast you've ever had. Our steak was done perfectly. Beer was delicious. We'll definitely be back!

Loved it here growing up, for a while it got disappointing, but the newest management has done an incredible job of bringing this place back to one of the most go restaurants in Nelson. The quality of the food has skyrocketed & the customer service is top notch. The menu is huge & nothing is a miss.
I recommend coming here a few times to try as many of the menu items as you can!
Nelson offers SO many options to go out and eat. But, Main Street Diner is truly my favourite place to go. The owner, Nick, is very personable and provides nothing but the best food, drinks, and overall service.They are timely and the food never disapoints. All of the staff are great! Highly recommend Main Street Diner if you live in Nelson and want to grab a bite or are just visiting. Also a great family friendly place :)
This is a Nelson staple and a must eat. Restaurants in Nelson come and go but the Diner has stood the test of time. The Cesar salad dressing is so top secret the rumor is, its only been given to family members. You cant go wrong with the Diner its one of the best local establishments that Nelson has to offer. Best burgers in town, best fries (hand cut), and don't forget their fresh halibut fish and chips, but rally everything on their menu is delicious.
Ordered the fish and chips. Fish was piping hot, moist and delicious!
Laurence was our server. Made the recommendation for the fish and was super friendly and welcoming.
Would recommend this place to anyone stopping by :)
