We were touring around Manitoulin Island in our car, having taken the ferry over from Tobermory. One of the places we stopped at was the village of Kagawong. We found the Main Street Express at the top of the hill, just outside the main area and decided to try it for lunch. Basically, it is a drive up, order and drive away with your meal joint. Portions were very large! Literally takes only 10 minutes to receive your order and it it freshly prepared and hot coming out the window, all wrapped up or in containers. We ordered the donair, the falafal wrap and a side of mac 'n cheese. It was all delicious, although the mac 'n cheese could have used a bit more creaminess or zing. Definitely satisfied our hunger at lunch time! We just pulled off on the side of the road to eat our meal before heading on our way. Check it out!

I have been reading about this place on social media ~ but hadn't stubbled on it until I went into the town of Kagawong from another direction from my cottage... it is well worth the time to seek out this place! They are very well organized during COVID and have great signage to direct you into the drive thru restaurant ( It will be open again after covid restrictions are over) . There is a huge menu board you can choose a main, a side and a drink for 1 price ~ or buy your meal choices individually if you aren't as hungry. There might be a parking lot in behind you can swing back in and eat your meal ~ but I chose to drive down the hill to the waterfront and eat there. ENJOY!

Hello! First off thank you for your glowing review and we are happy that you found us and enjoyed your lunch! We just want to clear up about us opening our inside after Covid restrictions as we do not have plans on re-opening the inside to patrons after the renovations we made to convert us into a drive-thru only. We love that you took your lunch to enjoy by the water and quite often recommend that to our guests.. As for parking in the back, we prefer guests not to park there as we need to accomodate large RV's and work vehicles to be able to come through and have the large turning radius they require. Thank you again for your review, we certainly appreciate your time in helping us out by sharing your great experience! It is our pleasure to serve you and hope we can do so again and again!

Read so many great reviews about this place, and so glad we tried it. Due to COVID-19, they've switched their service to a takeout window but it's very well-organized, fast, and absolutely delicious! My husband and I agreed that it's the tastiest food on Manitoulin Island we've had so far, and we've been there twice now for a week each time, and tried various restaurants all over the place. A meal with a main + side + drink is $15 and it was worth every penny (they also do breakfast apparently). My vegetarian husband got an eggplant parmigiana sandwich, we got my little son a pepperoni panini (watch out, though, as there are chili flakes!), and I had an amazingly tender and flavourful philly beefsteak sandwich with cheese and caramelized onions with jus to dip in and it was perfectly seasoned and not salty like some others I've had elsewhere. We shared 3 sides which were equally delicious - poutine, creamy macaroni salad, and fully loaded parisienne potatoes with bacon, green onion, cheese, and sour cream on the side. The whole lunch was wonderful, and it was takeout! It was obvious that a lot of love goes into this wonderful little place. We cannot recommend highly enough.

Another fabulous meal from Main St Express! Due to the pandemic, they’ve been running the restaurant as a solely takeout drive-thru service for the past two summers. But the food is fantastic and ready within minutes of ordering at the window. The hours are currently 11-3pm and the gentleman at the window is super friendly. We got 4 lunch combos - an eggplant parmigiana panini for my vegetarian husband, a pizza (with pepperoni) panini for my little boy, a delicious Philly beefsteak with jus for dipping for me, and a donair so full of meat that my mom couldn’t even eat all of it. We tried all 4 sides and loved all of them (but the potato supreme with bacon is so great!) Love it!!

These guys have handled the necessary covid changes amazingly well! Our family of 5 drove up, ordered 5 different meals and it was literally ready in less than 5 minutes! We were expecting to park and wait for 20 mins, but nope! Waited a few short minutes at the drive-through window and an amazing and tasty meal was passed through the window to us. We ordered: Italian meatball sandwich, Eggplant parm sandwich, pulled pork, donair, and pizza panini. We were all raving about our food! Conveniently packaged to take to an outdoor picnic site. The friendly gentleman who served us even pointed us towards a bathroom and a picnic spot. Highly recommend!

Thrilled that Main Street Cafe in Kagawong is open again. They have a new name, “Main Street Express”. We love the new concept of a Drive-Thru. Their sandwiches, wraps, paninis, hoagies and side dishes are as delicious as before, always fresh and homemade! Service is quick and breakfast, lunch, and dinner (if you pick up before 5pm weekly) can be enjoyed anywhere in Kagawong. Thank you Jean and Jamie for your dedication and hard work! We will be back again and soon!

I loved the historical building, the eclectic chairs, the authentic. personable and down-to-earth servers. We came from visiting the icy Bridal Veil Falls, which was worth the two hour drive from Sudbury. I chose the donair sandwich, finely shaved gyro meat on the softest, freshest pita bread I have had in my life. The sauce was milder than usual, highlighting the taste of the meat rather than overpowering it. The sandwich came with a soup. I had the beef barley and it was thick with meat and barley, very hardy and filling. The birch beer was like an interesting root beer and that was enjoyed by all. The beef is local and grass fed. My disposable soup bowl was made of paper. The stir sticks are made of pasta. Six of us ate our fill for $75.

We drove by this place on our way to see the Bridal Veil Falls early in the morning. It had a bit of a line which was surprising because it was part of someone's house yet it had a drive through. Anyway, places to eat are few and far between so we decided to go back later that day - even though it was out of our way. We ordered two lunch combos. The portions were generous. The service was friendly and helpful. The prices were fair and there was lots of variety of both sides and mains to choose from. We got our order and drove about 15 mins to a picnic area by the water. It was still hot when we got there and tasted great. I really enjoyed that meal!

We had eaten lunch at the Main St. Cafe pre-Covid and really enjoyed it. When we visited in the fall during Covid times, we were pleased to see that they had come up with an awesome set up for a drive thru. We had another good lunch and loved the friendly service!

Even though, they were not open for dining, they provided take out service. Food was amazing, place super clean from what I could see. Service was fast. On top of that, they gave us options were to sit to have our food. We ended up going to a place with picnic tables but with roof, so we could protect from the rain. Prices were very reasonable. I'd highly recommend it.

Drive up window only but don't let that deter you. There are a number of great options on the menu and the food was done in a very timely manner. The best part was the quality and taste. We loved it! The quantity was just perfect as well. We picnicked along the road beside the lake. Quality food with a perfect view! Don't miss this place for a great meal.

Grabbed lunch while out on the ATV’s today. As always, service was quick and friendly. Food was excellent. Don’t get to stop in here often, but never disappointed when we do. Highly recommend this spot for food that is leaps & bounds above typical grab& go fast food. Thank you.
