    We were promptly seated in a booth that was reserved for us which we had requested. Service was excellent. My pork chops with mashed sweet potatoes were amazing. Delicious side salad. Will be back.

    You can't go wrong here, especially for lunch. My friend had the veggie wrap (the fries were YUMMY!!) and I had the salad with blue cheese, chicken, Granny Smith apples, cranberries ... Yum!

    Food was fantastic for the value. Service was good considering how busy they were on a Sunday. Hot Rod Power Tour was in town - which added to the customer load. Highly recommend all their dishes!

    I had the stroganoff and it was tender and cooked to perfection. My nephew had fish and chips and my niece had a chicken dish. They both said it was delicious and huge portions. Every time I have eaten at Dawson’s on Main in Speedway, the food and service has been exceptional.
