Main Street Cafe & Pub

4 of us had all you can eat crab legs. Sat at the bar and Tony the bartender was Great! Crab was fantastic and beer cold and reasonably priced during happy hour. 2^nd time here, we’ll be back for sure!

The food was fine, but considerably overpriced. My wife and I both had the tuna melt lunch special. It consisted of one piece of rye bread topped with tuna, a tomato, and cheese. It was fine, but definitely not worth $ 11.99. Additionally, the up charge on the small side of fruit and sweet potato fries upped our bill to almost $ 30. While the quality was fine and the atmosphere unremarkable, we will probably seek other restaurants at which to spend our money.

Great food and fantastic service we love, love, love our server Cindy Ford. Cindy always give A+++ service. A great place to grab a delicious healthy lunch.

Pimento cheese bacon Burger. Yum! Excellent service, great food. Husband had daily special, blackened Tuna and scallops. Very good. We will be back!

My wife and I decided to check out this restaurant after reading reviews. Glad we did. We both had burgers, and usually because I like mine well done, it comes out blackened and no flavor. Not here! Everything was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. And they give very nice portions of everything. Will certainly return.

Just forwarded this place to my Sister. 6 of us went there over the summer and had to be rolled out. Great portions and the price was right ! You’ll enjoy it !

Cute little restaurant with quaint atmosphere. Service was excellent. Pain killer drink is so delightful you’ll want multiple! Pimento burger was juicy and delicious. Highly recommended!

Love, love, love this place. Went twice while on the island. Lunch was amazing, The food was fresh and the service was personal and prompt. I had the lobster roll and my friend had wings and pretzels and it was soooo good! Went again for dinner for the all you can eat crab legs. I ate a ton, they kept them coming and they were hot and delicious. I can’t wait to vaca there again and go pig out some more. Fresh, yummy and fun!

We went there Friday night and the food was good and the staff was friendly… However we tried to go to dinner there tonight (Monday) while on vacation when clearly both the website and the sign on the door says they are open until 9. It was 8:20pm when we pulled up and guess what, they were closed. The manager came out and told us we can pick up Togos until 9. Poor hospitality and they need to make that known that they don’t serve food after 8pm.

We went there yesterday in the late afternoon. I really wanted to eat somewhere with outside seating. Being outside was really great. The tables have a raised center that keeps condiments accessible but out of the way. I got the spinach and strawberry salad. The apple vinaigrette dressing was amazing. I really wished they had it to sell in a bottle. I asked for a side of onion rings, which were quick hot and yummy just wished the portion size was a bit bigger. My mother got half a chicken salad sandwich and zucchini soup. She whiped it out. The only thing I wish was that they had asked us about desserts because now I see that people are raving about it. We wouldn’t have been able to eat more, but we might have taken in to go. All in all I would say that the experience was super.

The fried green tomato appetizer and the pan seared wahoo was excellent. Hubs has the AYCE crab legs and the seafood chowder — he raved about both. Good choice if you’re in the area!

Recommendation from local here on the island, because they have all you can eat crab legs… It’s not the easiest place to find even with GPS… any way… Reservation are recommend unless you get there early, we got there about 5:30 pm and was lucky… floors are sticky all over large menu of Mexican, seafood, sandwich’s. Our waitress was fast and friendly needs a little bit of better cleaning fries tasted a bit too heavy (fryer oil needs to be changed) crab legs were hot n yummy

My friends that visited Hilton Head before recommended this place for the AYCE crab legs. I was sold when they said it was good AYCE crab legs. The restaurant/​pub is in a nice shopping neighborhood with lots of good eye shopping to be had. Next time I will definitely make it a point to take a full stroll. Ok. Back to the eats. We came for an early dinner and glad we did. The restaurant was pretty empty and quiet. Towards the end of our meal the place was pretty packed with a only few tables vacant. I really enjoyed the crab legs here. That was the showstopper for me paired with good service, and the reason for my five stars on this review. So good! When you order the AYCE crab legs they come out fresh and warm per order. The crab legs were all yummy, decently sized, and NOT salty at all. Winning! They were not stingy at all when you asked for crab leg refills. When you order the crab legs a salad comes with it as well. It’s a simple salad but everything in it was fresh which is a win in my book. My Caesar salad dressing was good. Our party of 7 also ordered a few others items off the menu– fried green tomatoes, lobster roll, & lobster grilled cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries. The lobster grilled cheese sandwich was awesome! Never had anything like that. The Lobster Roll my friend ordered was a nice size and refreshing, and I really liked how it was topped with some sliced avocados. The lobster roll here wasn’t the best I’ve had but definitely not the worst. The fried green tomatoes were cooked well but I think we were all focused on the crab legs and other ordered items that I didn’t give it a fair shot. After everything else came out I kind of regretted that we ordered it because it was a lot of food. Hehe. The staff was great too. Attentive and friendly the entire night. Our main server, Emily, was wonderful. I will definitely be back here during my next trip to Hilton Head. Keep up the good work!

Despite the sub par ambience/​décor, we came their for killer all you can eat crab legs, and we were not disappointed.
Food– We started off with some side salads which were not so good, lettuce was browned in some parts, and came with hidden valley ranch instead of homemade; which was disappointed, but again, we came for crab legs. The crab legs themselves were fresh and delicious. They came to the table steaming and juicy. Each leg had a ton of meat in it. I ate ten clusters? of crab! Five crabs! Definitely got the money’s worth considering this was $ 30, which is also the price for two clusters (1 crab) at skull creek boathouse. We also had dessert, key lime pie and some sort of Nutella cake. Both were disappointing; served cold and tasted just plain sweet and sugary with no character.
Service/​décor– The service was good and they came by the table to check if we needed a crab leg refill often. The décor on the other hand was not good. This restaurant needs a serious robert Irvine-​Ing. Also it’s kind of musty and dirty in there.
The only reason I would recommend this place is if you want some killer crab legs. I would not recommend for tourists because there are so many nicer places with great décor and/​or waterfront views that could make for a nicer evening.

If you’re in Hilton Head, don’t skip this spot!
Must haves:
— Seafood chowder: creamy base, potatoes, and big chunks of crab and other seafood
— All you can eat crab legs: $ 29.95 for big, meaty, fresh, unlimited crab legs. My aunts are from Florida and consider themselves «crab connoisseurs»…and they were in heaven
— pecan pie. Yum. Big slice with whipped cream. Thin crust, Not too sweet. I only wish it had been served warm.
— other orders at our table that were crowd pleasers were the Sriracha Honey wings, Smothered Chicken Breast, and Broiled Seafood Platter.
Tips:
— come early. We arrived around 6:15 and beat the crowd. It started to pick up around 7pm
— don’t be in a rush. Servers were super friendly but not that fast due to the crowd.

This was my second visit and the crab legs were amazing. They have excellent service and a very nice atmosphere.

This was my first trip to Hilton Head and was doing some research on all you eat crab legs places a few days before I arrived.
I came across Main Street Café and Pub. I am so glad I found this place!!! The crab legs were very good as well as the cheesecake. The staff was very friendly and atmosphere was comfortable. I would recommend this place if you are looking for great crab legs.

Ok AYCE CRAB LEGS are good at $ 29pp
I was not that hungry … Crab ball appetizer is yummy
Mahi and grits was TOO salty and we sent this back and traded for crab sandwich which was ok
Service was ok. They seemed a little overwhelmed as they checked back with us but not as often as we would have liked…
It very casual and low key
We also had to wait even though tables were empty… hmmm???
I would have rated this a3.5 star

ayce crab legs!!!
So the Mr. cracked down and did tons of research for an AYCE crab place for our trip and he found Main Street Café & Pub. Based on the name, I was expecting… idk, something from Cheers maybe? But Main Street happened to be a cute little restaurant in a quiet shopping strip.
We arrived a bit earlier than our 5 p.m. reservations, which we were advised to make ahead of time. I again, mistakenly took that to be a large, long wait for tables and in between crab legs servings. That was not the case at all!
We requested outside seating in their little patio, the server promptly came and took our orders. She was pleasant and chit chatted with us a bit before the food came out. We decided on the crab balls for apps and both of us had the AYCE crab legs which is $ 29/​pp.
First, the appetizer was soooo goood! It was like a crab cake, little to no filling, but rolled into a ball. It was served with a tangy sauce, but seriously these were so yummy that I forgot about the sauce until after my 3^rd one!
Each serving has 3 large clusters along with butter. They don’t skimp on the servings here, and each leg was firm and cleaned (I have had some crab legs served to me that looked like they were dredged through the swamps before).
Although the crabs weren’t as sweet as I prefer, they were very, very good. Each piece came out pretty clean from the shell.
While we were dining, the other customers around us ordered a variety of foods, including the chicken fajitas which smelled delicious and looked to be enough to feed 2 people comfortably.
The owner also came out to light the tiki torches around the patio to keep the mosquitoes away and she also chatted with us for a bit. Overall, a great meal and good service!

Oh. my. word. I thought AYCE crab legs were a thing of the past. Fear not, friends. You can still find them here. and it’s one of the only places on the island that still offers the deal. And it’s not just once a week. Stop in Mon-​Fri evening and get them for 29.99.
I’m pretty sure I ate the full value. Not only that, but they have great happy hour specials. 2 other diners in our party had steak and tilapia, which they also raved about.
Service was also phenomenal. Our server was so attentive, easy to talk to, friendly.
I really, really wish this wasn’t a vacation spot and I could move the restaurant closer to me. Love it!
