Main Street Diner

So the inside restaurant could use a little work.... outside looked amazing. (It was raining, so we sat inside.) I will say the food is awesome! 🥂Great menu, great service. A large menu, good selection. Overall, I can see this place being one of my favorite places in Nelson

Great place for families or date night - there is a kid's menu with many options. Toasted cheese sandwich was only half a sandwich, would be perfect for a smaller/younger appetite. I picked the perfect fish and chips option for myself - Tito's, which is a salad option instead of fries and one massive piece of beer battered cod. Though you can't go wrong with any of the fish and chip options from what I've seen. Also the baklava and fresh baked apple pie were exactly how I like them, flaky pastry and sweet filling. No complaints from my partner on the shrimp pita with coleslaw on the side. "Haffa hangbuger" is funny to say and was okay for my 6 year old. Fresh, ice cold water kept coming with the 30+ heat. Patio is great, right in the heart of Baker Street.

I made it to Main Street Diner 3 times in as many days. Back for the mighty fine apple pie, but enjoyed the fish and chips as well.

This place just blows your hair back. I think that the Athenian burger is the best burger in all of Nelson. I even mentioned this to a server of a different restaurant and he said (sheepishly) that he had to agree. Fish is incredible and prices are throwback to 1999. Try as I might to show other local restaurants the love they deserve, Main Street Diner is always my top pick. The whole vibe is cozy and welcoming. *I may or may not have eaten here twice this week and have plans to come back Wednesday for the mushroom burger. It's just that good.

Food is excellent quality. Always fresh and well prepared. So many great burgers, melt and wraps to choose from! Best fries in the Kootenays (IMO) and soup of the day that always tastes as if it was literally just finished by Gramma 5minutes ago.. so fresh and yummy!
Service staff are phenomenal and friendly. A+++

Best burger I've ever had. Perfectly grilled patty, light crispy bun and simple fresh toppings. A refreshingly unpretentious sandwich that nails all the fundamentals.

We did some research and drove 4 hours from Montana seeking a superb dinner of fish and chips and this place was way over the top! We ordered the Queen Mary and wow! it was a huge plate full of wonderfulness - perfectly battered and seasoned cod complimented with hand cut seasoned fries. The servers kept our coffee cups filled and the whole atmosphere was clean, fresh, and perfectly pleasant. Highly, highly recommend this place!

We stop in several times while visiting Nelson (my hometown). I always get the broiled chicken rolled-in pita with Greek salad and my husband gets the mushroom deluxe burger. My kiddos tend to get the chicken fingers and fries. We all leave happy. The food is exceptional and the service is phenomenal. The pitas are warm and soft with a little chew and the burgers are made with 100% chuck and grilled to perfection. Their attention to detail is second to none. We love this place! Oh and don't miss their legendary fish and chips, if that's your fancy. Wow! Give it a try, you'll be glad you did.

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.

We got take out so can’t say much about the atmosphere, but the service was incredible.
They made a point of NOT packing the Greek salad in the same bag as the hot food so it wouldn’t get soggy and they didn’t cook the calamari until I got there to pick the food up so it would still be warm and crispy. They were incredibly thoughtful!
The food was very tasty and the price very reasonable.
I would definitely come back!

Hit the place at lunchtime last month and enjoyed the best Fish and Chips I'd had in a very long time! Great food at reasonable prices.

The ambiance and service are the attraction. Definitely must taste the fish and chips, but also the burgers.

This place is absolutely awesome
Nice and cozy and excellent service and lots of food on the plate and piping hot
I cannot give this place enough stars
We lived in Nelson for many yrs and have been away for approx 20yrs but we get back every few years and the food here is worth the drive from anywhere
Always look forward to dinners here when visiting

Great place to eat! Cute little diner, service was pretty darn good. Wow, Nelson has an incredible food scene. Make sure this place is on your places to eat.

Welcoming friendly staff, always helpful and attentive. Great traditional Greek dishes, tasty and filling.

A small hole in the wall eatery. It was packed when we went at 4pm, people were lining up to get a table.
We got the fish and chips platter and coleslaw. The fish and chips came in a big portion. It was crispy and light, not too greasy either. The fish was a bit on the blander side but add a little tartar sauce and it’s was great.
The coleslaw is a must.

Baked Potato Poutine ❤ Fantastic service, thank you Lawrence ☺ Ambiance was warm and welcoming. Definitely heading back to try some other dishes!

The Main Street diner has consistently really great food! It's my favorite place for lunch or dinner.

We enjoyed our dinner at the Main Street Diner. The menu is extremely varied, so it's really difficult not to find something for everyone. We ate out on the patio, that was nice. Service was good, food was good, we would have no problem returning on another visit to Nelson

They have a very large serving of fish and chips here. Worth it. Even though you will be uncomfortably full. Staff were friendly and the prices were good.
