First time visit was exceptional! Food was very tasty and a great proportion. It was fresh, made to order for sure.. Great location with outdoor seating options. Waiter was very polite and attentive. Definitely will return once back in Columbia…

Main course was fantastic!! The mimosas were delicious and perfect for two. The birdie and waffles was perfectly cooked and delicious. My bf said the burger was awesome. The thick cut bacon app and sauces were delicious (we already ate most before I took the pic). The service was awesome

Went to the Grand across the street, they had a sign showing half off their beers on a specific wall of taps. However, none of the taps worked. I asked the manager if we could just grab beer from the regular taps and honor the happy hour. He said unfortunately, no – wasn’t rude or anything but I struggled to find the logic in that. He did mention Main Course across the street was owned by the same person and they have 75 beers on tap and also half off during happy hour. That sounded awesome so we went across the street. We were greeted by a kind young lady who was helpful but vocal about how she doesn’t drink – it felt a little odd being the main product here is self serve beer. Here’s the part that was disappointing… Without exaggeration more than half of the beers had a sign saying they kicked and half the beers that didn’t have a sign were also empty, leaving a choice of probably 10 beers. Still, a solid selection but very disappointing when you appear to have so much more. The concept here is you pay per ounce, nothing crazy. However, 50% off and I still paid 45 cents an ounce. That’s $14.40 for a pint of beer at regular price. We didn’t order food so I won’t comment on that. I’m rooting for this place to turn around but this was a disappointing experience.

This place is amazing. The food is delicious. The whole staff…FRIENDLINESS MATTERS, they are all good people. Good Customer service outshines anything put in a review to me. If you want to listen to a live jazz band, get your sip on, and dance a little if you like in a grown and sexy atmosphere then step out to MAIN COURSE, and dress up jazzy & snazzy you won’t regret it! DATE NIGHT-APPROVED

If the food had not been so good I would have rated this place a solid 1. The service, from the get go, was unprofessional and mediocre at best. The host disappeared without, apparently, letting anyone know. A waiter walked by my husband, made eye contact, joked with another waiter, ignored my husband’s question and kept on walking. After about 8 minutes of no host I walked into the restaurant to find a couple of the staff sitting down at the bar joking around. The ratio of employees versus occupied tables was 7/4. Our waiter was very nice but only came to our table 2 times and proceeded to disappear as well, one of the host was looking for him without success. Upon being asked if the wait was worth it by the waiter that ignored my husband and sat at the bar to talk, I responded with “the food was amazing but the service was pretty horrible”… he did not take that very well and complained about being short staffed and not being paid enough… 3 main courses(birdie waffles,burger, fish&chips), 1 soup, 1 side(mac&cheese), 1 serving boneless wings, tap beer for 1, tap water $109.

Main Course is a nice place to catch dinner and a live music show. There’s a bunch of other different stuff going on in the building too. The main music room is nice with tables and spread out a bit. We came to catch The Steel Woods and it was a great show. I’d definitely come back here again to see a band I like. Food was good, drinks were good, staff was nice as well.

Great spot for Father’s Day Brunch. I had steak and eggs. She had shrimp etouffee over grits. Both meals were amazing. I highly recommend the Mango Nectar Mimosas, and pimento cheese dip. Pet friendly, we ate with our dog on the patio. Like everyone else seems to be they were short staffed, bit after finding the rear entrance, which is the main entrance, and our server got to us, food and drinks came quickly.

We went to The Main Course on the 4th of July weekend .Very busy. The atmosphere was very good. We had the brunch located in the back of the restaurant. Service was very slow. There was no one there to greet us at the desk . Hostess arrived and seated us ..finally. It took forever for wait staff to greet our table. Once we finally got service staff was very pleasant. Brunch was tasty. But they had a hard time keeping the supply full. The young lady serving the food was pleasant , but over worked. Management needs to get more staff.Omelet guy not pleasant at ‘All’ Acting like it was a problem asking for food. Over all meal was good.

Excellent service, classy place… Incredible 75 tap pour your own beer wall!! I had the duck egg rolls, and they were well-prepared and super tasty. Grind Mode Cypher was the entertainment for the evening, and it was a killer show. I would recommend this place for foodies, beer nerds, and enjoyers of live entertainment. There’s also a game room, art exhibit, and jazz club on site.

Brunch was great! The service was great! There was an option to order or do buffet which is nice for larger groups like ours. I will definitely be back for dinner!
