    The BBQ buffet is excellent pulled pork,brisket, and ribs makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I usually don't like fish I think they have some awesome tasting fish. The dessert is outstanding. The service is excellent they're always refilling water and tea and asking if we need anything. When we go camping in Marion on a Friday Main Street Cafe & Bakery is my go to supper for that night. Highly recommend.

    Wonderful breakfast/brunch stop during our Saturday drive. Everything is homemade, breakfast buffet was great and reasonably priced, and service was friendly. Cinnamon rolls are made from scratch and are probably the best I've ever had. They also makes pies, baked goods, and cheese. (If you can't make it to Durham, they sell their tasty goods at the farmers market in Abilene during the summer).

    What a great place! We love these small town restaurants, and I highly recommend stopping here! After our scrumptious burger, homemade chicken tenders and seasoned fries, we topped it off with coconut cream pie that was one of the best I've ever had!

    The BBQ on Friday night was outstanding. Also the regular menu is good as well as the bakery items. And don't forget to take home some Wiebe cheese from Jason's dairy! Good stuff all the way around!!
