I work from home, so I didn’t feel like cooking on my break. I saw the reviews and thought I’d go check out the new spot in town. The food was amazing!! It was hot, fresh, delicious Southern Homestyle cooking. The buffet is 11am-5pm, with menu ordering available as well. This will be my new spot.

We are camping in the National Forest and on a rainy day decided to go out to breakfast in Whitmore. We found Cafe on Main online and truly enjoyed the omelets and friendly people that owned and ran the restaurant. It’s a cool small little town definitely in need of some TLC but has great potential. So close to the Beautiful Sumpter national forest with so many outdoor fun things to enjoy .

Great little place to eat! Stopped by at an off time, and service was fantastic. Quick to take our order, and food came out in a reasonable time. Food was blazing hot, so you could tell it was freshly cooked! Fries tasted like they were freshly cut, onion rings were tender and crispy, and the flounder was so juicy and AMAZING! Burger was hand-pattied, and the popcorn chicken was tender. Portion sizes were large, and prices were cheaper than fast food! Only took a star for atmosphere due to some missing ceiling tiles and whatnot, but the eating area was very clean.
