Dawson's on Main - United States

We went as part of a large party. We had a separate room that was cozy but enough space to accommodate everyone comfortably. We ordered from a fixed price menu intended for groups with lots of meal options. Food was really good. I had the pot roast with mashed potatoes and lots of vegetables. Portions were hearty. Service was great!

Got takeout from Dawsons and it was delicious!! Got a cup of signature soup, Caesar salad with a piece of grilled salmon to put it on. Absolutely delicious, will definitely be back!

Dawson's is a popular staple on Main Street, Speedway with a dimly lit, comfortable interior, and now a seasonal enclosed patio since it has gotten colder. Making a reservation is not a bad idea as it can get extremely packed from 4:00 to around 8:30. The patio seating on the north side of the building is Dog Friendly, but the larger patio facing Main St. is not dog friendly. We met some friends for dinner and we had a lovely time. The server did an excellent job, stayed on top of our drinks, and orders were delivered hot and brought out together. Our entrees were fantastic, and I was happy I came. Two of our group had a half-order of BBQ Ribs that looked amazing, and they confirmed the ribs were delicious. One of our four had the 2 smoked bone-in pork chops with bacon pepper jam topping. She said they were as good as they looked. All of the sides were 1st rate and would order again. I had the generous serving of Blackened Chicken Pasta and a side of the smashed sweet potatoes. The light and yummy sweet potatoes reminded me that Thanksgiving will be here soon. The pasta was loaded with fresh mixed peppers, button mushrooms, and Andouille sausage, then tossed in Cajun Alfredo cream. It was exceptionally rich and worth ever calorie. My husband had the Moby Dick Fish sandwich and fries. He loves this fish, but tonight, the seasoning in the batter was lacking. That has never happened before, but he was disappointed. Regardless, this will not keep us away. 3 out of 4 of us were extremely happy with our dinners. Main Street has improved and grown in the past three years with 8 restaurants now between 10th and 16th Street, all with patio seating. There is a liquor store, a home decor shop, a barber shop, an ice cream shop, 2 coffee shops, a wine shop, a brewery, two race teams head quarters, and Dallara all on Main Street. Concerts, holiday festivals, and, of course, race themed events give you many reasons to visit Main Street. Come visit.

Had dinner with friends a few days ago it had been awhile and I was so happy to have a great experience as always. Service was great on a Monday evening not too busy but a good crowd. Not an overly fancy place but comfortable and friendly. Lots of good menu choices here. In the past I have often enjoyed the Tenderloin sandwich but tonight I was feeling the Ribs. One of the best meals I have enjoyed for a while! Tender and meaty with a side of the mashed sweet potato and asparagus. The dinner roll was nice and warm which is always a plus in my book. Don't give me cold bread! Will come back more often!

Great food!! Perfect location. Friendly staff!! Daily drink specials. Large room for parties or work groups.
