This is one of our favorite restaurants. Have never had anything but great experiences here. Seemed like each time one of our party ordered; someone else at the table re-evaluated their selection and changed their order. The choices are really good, it would be hard to go wrong. Our Server was patient with the changes and did a great job. Everyones food was excellent and we had a great time catching up with old friends. Thanks

As always, the experience at MainStreet Social was superb. Food was excellent and of course Shanna took great care of us during our meal. I’m a regular, but I introduced MainStreet Social to two work colleagues who are new to Libertyville. They were extremely pleased.
