A great night! View all feedback. What Georgianna McCullough doesn't like about Dawson's on Main:
the crabcake appetizer, I think they were deep-fried instead of pan meer? the nachos were better, but could? ve used more meat (I have the hull.) we also had the suppe special french wobbles with mushroom ragu, but I did not see/taste. prices were reasonable and service ok; provided they were busy.

Great service and the best breaded pork tenderloin, EVER!

Dawson's on Main in Speedway is a popular gem that offers delicious food and excellent service. Despite some mixed reviews about specific dishes, overall, patrons enjoy the reasonable prices and friendly staff. The restaurant is a favorite among locals and offers a variety of menu options, including fantastic appetizers like pretzels and crab cakes, main courses like hand-breaded tenderloin and rib sandwich, and delicious desserts like German chocolate cake. The patio seating is a great option when the weather is pleasant, but reservations are recommended as the restaurant can get quite busy. Whether you're in the mood for seafood, pasta, steak, or sandwiches, Dawson's on Main has something for everyone, making it a must-visit spot in Speedway.
