The Main Course Etc

Excellent First time visit, the food and service was phenomenal, I will definitely visit this place again when I am back in Cold Spring!

Place has best scones ever! just try one.
other foods i get from time to time for lunch (wraps, salads etc) is always very healthy and delicious, plus a lot of vegetarian options for ones who care

Who is lauding this place! Hmmm, where to begin? Probably with the food: one word – uninspired. Another word – tasteless. Third word – oh-​so-​overpriced (hey, it’s hyphenated). Now that we’ve covered the primary reasons not to eat here, i.e., the food, let’s discuss the help. This is a town of preternaturally nice people. Very Truman Show, or Mayberry for the older among us. There is a force field around this place that prevents nice from entering. Or a sign I missed that says, «all who enter prepare to be treated with a scowl». Unless, of course, you are a known customer; Gotta make those house payments somehow. Good thing they’re the only «high-​end» prepared food store in town. I’d hate to think how hard it would be for so many rude people to find another job.

DON’T EAT HERE. THE FOOD MAY MAKE YOU & YOUR FAMILY SICK.
I was a fan of the food here until I bought the Chinese chicken salad, had it for dinner, and became violently ill last night. Took the day off from work to get this out of my system. Have intense abdominal pain, can’t stop sweating or vomiting, I feel just awful. I know what food poisoning feels like & this is it.
I didn’t want anyone else to get sick so I called the Main Course this morning to advise them to pull the chicken salad from their case. The woman I spoke with said that since no one else had complained & I must be mistaken. What? Are you serious? How is that helpful? I am puking my guts out, it’s from your disgusting food, I was trying to be helpful & didn’t give you a hard time about your rancid ingredients so I don’t appreciate the way this woman handled the situation. I am offended in addition to being sick. And the funny thing is, had the employee handled this better, I probably would have continued to do business with the Main Course despite this mishap. Now I know better.
I went from liking the food here to never wanting to shop here again. You’ve lost my business & I am going to tell every person I know what happened. I will also post and repost this message on every social media site available to get the word out. They officially get 0 stars from me.

This place does so many things well. All kinds of prepared foods, drinks, catering etc. I have never had anything from here that is not delicious. Personal favorites of prepared foods are chicken Caesar wrap and kale salad. Friends and family have had catering from here before and it is amazing. The physical location is small it’s not really a place you eat as they generally do everything to take home. Staff are friendly as well. Highly recommend.

The. Best.
I have never had a single thing that I didn’t absolutely love! The veggie chili is probably the best I’ve ever had anywhere, you wouldn’t even know it was meatless they make it so rich and packed with great flavor! The cole slaw there is perfect, not overly mayo-​ed but not dry and still has a little bite to it. But the Tuscan sandwich is my favorite thing on the menu without question! Quality of food is consistent, and service is charming and helpful. Would definitely recommend stopping in if you haven’t already!

All of the food here is fresh and delicious. I love the wraps, kale salad and the deserts. You can assume everything you order will be good. A true gem.

Best scones ever! Good coffee!
Nice people, good service and delicious food — sure beats Dunkin’ Donuts!

Best Food in the Village. Haven’t been there in a bit.

lasagna (like moms), olive/​mozzarella salad, coriander soup — somebody here loves their job — an easy 5 stars

What better way to start off a windy rainy morning than with a cuppa and an apple muffin from TMC? Today, none. Always freshly brewed coffee and those muffins are delish! And TMC is a good spot to cross paths with friends and acquaintances from around town. :)

This a nice little place that pumps out some great food. The service is exceptional and they never seem to forget a familiar face. There has been numerous occasions when I wanted something out-​side of the box, and sure enough, my cravings have always been met. As for the pricing, well lets just say, «you pay for what you get». The quality of foods that is offered is indeed of a higher quality, therefor the price structure might be justifiable.

Three Words: Tuscan Bean Salad.
It’s not Campbell’s Soup that «mm-​mm-​good,» it’s this place.
