3 of 4 stars (good, casual dining).
Their name indicates "Steak House", but don't be fooled: this is a deli, much like an American-style diner.
This is virtually right across the street from the more famous tourist destination, Schwartz's. When we arrived, there was a line of would-be customers streaming out the door at Schwartz's, but no line and no waiting at Main.
About $10 per person, no dessert, gratuity not included.
Could use another server as just one finds herself a bit overwhelmed.
Great sandwiches.
About my ratings:
Only high-priced dining establishments can garner five stars. Until yelp realizes that a fast food joint cannot possibly be ranked equally with a $100 per person place, I need to draw the line somewhere. If we were only talking about the quality and presentation of the food, it would be a different story. But, as we know, yelp's rankings take into account the entire dining experience.
Therefore, I divide restaurants into three categories (and I wish yelp would do the same):
1) fast food and "fast-casual", low-priced (no table service).
2) casual, mid-priced dining (table service, average entrée price: $10-$20).
3) fine, high-priced dining (linen napkins, no plastic cups, no TV's in dining room, average entrée priced at more than $20, can vary depending on the city).
High-priced dining can earn a max of five stars. Mid-priced dining can earn a max of four stars. Fast food can earn a max of three stars.
