We ate lunch here during a recent stay in Pendleton. The restaurant is decorated with fun 1950s memorabilia, the service was good, and prices were cheap. We ordered salads, which in all fairness diners usually aren't known for - it was decent but nothing spectacular.

If you are looking for a great time and great food try out the Main St. Diner in Pendleton. It will take you back to the 50’s with the décor and a great staff to go with it. Don’t miss the burger and fries or a wonderful breakfast.

Enjoyed taking my kids to a "real" diner in downtown Pendleton. Had a great lunch and shared memories of a bygone era. The food was good, and price was OK. Portions are good sized.

Excellent food, friendly service. Hometown style. Waitress remembers return customers and usually has their drinks on table before they even sit down

We stopped at Main Street Diner while we were waiting to tour the Pendleton Underground. When we told the waitstaff that we had tour coming up they rushed our order without ever missing a beat. Atmosphere is traditional diner decor and the menu has some interesting choices--I had a hash brown dish with bacon, sausage, mushroom, cheese, and topped with... More

I've only been to the Main street Diner once. It was very popular with locals - crowded. I didn't see anything exceptional and I thought the prices were a hair high.
