Marinade on Main, Ramona CA

Food was excellent along with the service. Worth the trip to Ramona. We had the biscuits and gravy along with chilaquiles. Both delicious.

Cozy spot with tasty locally sourced ingredients! I love the salads and butterscotch pudding, and that they serve big portions. Happy that I can come here to see Tiffany, my favorite waitress

If you like fried chicken you HAVE to try their fried chicken sandwich which comes in 3 different flavors - honey mustard, BBQ & buffalo chicken. I can’t speak for the buffalo chicken but both the honey mustard & BBQ are absolutely incredible.

The chicken is fresh, juicy, all white meat and HUGE! I’ve gotten their sandwich several times and the chicken breast is so large that sometimes I cut it in half and save half for later. For the price, it’s absolutely a great value. The breading is crispy, the dressings are delectable and the French fries have the most perfect seasoning.

Trust me, you’re missing out if you haven’t tried it yet.

I can’t really speak on the service and waitstaff as I always order takeout but everyone seems friendly and though it’s a tiny little restaurant, it’s very clean inside and a warm welcoming atmosphere. Look close when driving down the street or you might miss it!

Had brunch here and LOVED it! Very popular diner with terrific food and service. It was crowded and a bit noisy inside so we requested a seat out backoutside. Absolutely loved the back! Much quieter and covered. Room for large parties outside, too. We each had an Autumn Salad and their Mimosa Flight, which we shared. While there was only the salad selection on the brunch menu for vegan/vegetarians it was delightful with chicken, shrimp, or salmon added for an additional charge. While their Portobello Veggie Burger was only on the dinner menu, it could be special ordered with a 20 minute wait. This is our new "go to" eatery in Ramona!

Shocked at how delicious this hidden gem is. The food is farm fresh and locally sourced. One of the few places serving local wines. You must get the butterscotch pudding.truly.

Very cozy and cute and clean. Great staff, and the Veggie Scramble was very good, and enough for two to share.

Cozy place on Main Street with great food. Had the lumberjack breakfast.lots of food!
Good vibe.

4.5 stars. Taking away 0.5 stars for the parking/wait. Ok so maybe this may be my post-hike palate talking but this place has DELICIOUS food! We got here around 11: 30 am and it was pretty busy too!
The servers were very nice and friendly. Our group was quite loud so I do apologize about that. We got a bunch of things - mimosa flights, the apple spice mule, the butter flight, the veggie scramble, the pork skillet, the avocado toast, the baked cinnamon French toast, and the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato bisque. EVERYTHING was amazing! Very fresh, well-seasoned and perfectly cooked! Personally, my grilled cheese wasn't just a regular grilled cheese but a caprese grilled cheese. I won't be able to go back to the regular grilled cheese now! The tomato bisque was perfect in consistency, not too tomatoey and the kind of warm that seeps through your soul. My friend's avocado toast was the other favorite at the table - perfectly smashed avocado on brown grain bread with an egg on top. YUM!
The butter flight is truly a flight that soars. The bread is soft and crumbly, a little sweet and little savory. It comes with 3 butters made at the restaurant - I tried the coffee and the berry butters and they are delicious! The berry one just tastes like berry ice cream:)
The mimosa flights deserve their own paragraph. There were 4 mimosas and a good amount in all 4 glasses - the original, lemon, pomegranate, and the cider. All of them were delicious and pretty strong but my order of favorites from most to least is: cider, original, pomegranate, lemon. I love lemon drinks but this one didn't have much lemon in it. So I had to put it last on the list.

This is a fantastic place. The ambiance is gorgeous too. I highly recommend coming here if you are in Ramona.

Decent decor. But it takes an hour to get to go orders. Super slow. Haven’t even been able to try the food yet since it’s taken so long to get it. Keep getting told 5 more minutes. But it never comes. Should have gotten food somewhere else.

As a contractor in San Diego county, I have food all over the place in various restaurants and settings. After I found marinade on Maine, I found this to be my most favorite restaurant in the entire county. You can taste the quality in the food. You can taste the fresh ingredients and the care that they put into making such great food and on top of that it's affordable. This restaurant hands down holds in my opinion the "Best burger in San Diego county" title

I had heard about this spot from a friend and was not disappointed when I went to lunch there! Really cute place- small, welcoming, farmhouse chic. Kinda hip without trying. The people were friendly and attentive, but the scene- stealer is the food. Really delicious and interesting dishes. Great healthy choices as well. I highly recommend Marinade on Main if you're in Ramona- or up for a quick trip out there.

A beautiful spot in Ramona with some of the tastiest food, this is a must stop in town. The freshly made biscuits are to die for, but more importantly, HUGE in size. I didn't get to try their dinner, but it seems like a romantic spot perfect for a date. The atmosphere is friendly and beautiful decor from an AXE door handle to the modern wooden tables it's a nice place to eat.

Breakfast was SUPER GOOD AND MORE THAN ENOUGH! Homemade sausage was very tasty. Just be hungry because you will get full.

Stopped by on our way back to San Diego from Borrego Springs hoping for a nice lunch. This place exceeded our expectations. Excellent food and service. Fresh and delicious, clean and cute environment and the friendliest, most polite staff.
