About Us

Our Chef/Owner has been cooking for over 50 years. Bill grew up in his dad's restaurant business in New York City. His lifetime's experience as a chef has led to the last 23 years in The Main Street Grill in Half Moon Bay.

Entering The Main Street Grill is like a walk down memory lane, with an old-fashioned juke box and a casual, friendly atmosphere.

Among the favorites are omelettes with ingredients chosen by the diner to his personal taste, and a variety of Eggs Benedict.

Many dishes are prepared from old family recipes. The best quality meats and sausages, the freshest produce, and a well-qualified staff ensure our guests a pleasant experience.
