★★★★☆ 4.0 Joseph Gallo · Oct 2025

We have eaten at Marinade on Main twice, once for breakfast and for lunch. Both were good meals w/ good service. Today we had Hot Honey Chicken Sandwhichs, one was fried the other grilled. Both were tender with a sweet spicy flavor and came with tastey French fries. We saw some salads being served that looked terrific too. Breakfast was also very good with a varied menu of eggs, pancakes, bacon, ham, or sauage, home fries or hash browns, sour dough toast, or biscuits, etc. We look forward to dinner here next.

Came to Ramona today to pick up a package. This was recommended as a local gem. Could not be more true. Very friendly staff. Obviously loved as I watched the lunch crowd pour in while I enjoyed the ice tea - infused with lavender and grapefruit - and the Ancient Grain bowl. I recommend adding the salmon as suggested. I appreciated that the food had just the right amount of seasoning - particularly the onions and the locally sourced mushrooms. (Locally sourced farms are featured on the wall.)

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the pulled pork hash and cinnamon french toast and both were tasty. Would definitely come here again.

***** Food *****Service *****Location *****Ambiance Marinade on Main is a Farm to Table style, Country Sophisticated yet Quaint little place on Main Street in Ramona! My review is #940. That is an outstanding amount of people in agreement that Marinade on Main is an amazing eatery! A friend and I stopped in for brunch on our way to shop at the Barn Refined Christmas Shop. We are so glad we did. I've been back several times, lunch was equally as good as brunch. If you're a local and haven't been, please try it. Anybody driving through, stop in, you'll be glad you did. I wish I would have taken a photo of before but here's my after! :)- This was the Season Scramble. Absolutelydelicious!

If you're driving through Ramona and not stopping here, you are truly missing out. Everything we had was fresh, delicious, locally sourced and presented beautifully. Staff is welcoming, attentive and genuine. This was the best dining experience we've had in a long time. The next time we're in from Phoenix we'll be back!
