Marinade on Main in Ramona

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 🥰

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!

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 wasnt just a regular grilled cheese but a caprese grilled cheese. I wont 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 friends 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 didnt 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.

Definitely a must try when in the area!The decor is super inviting, the staff was very sweet, helpful and fast and - the food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the brussel sprouts, and the fried chicken was the best Id had in a very long time! Definitely give them a try. You wont regret it!

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 didnt 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 its a nice place to eat.

Best breakfast in town by far. Homemade and handmade sausage patties and the biscuits used for the Benedict are to die for. Toast was perfectly buttered and portions were healthy! We don’t get the opportunity to visit often but I highly recommend them! Even take out is super fresh!

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

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 youre in Ramona- or up for a quick trip out there.

We came by for lunch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We were thankful to have a 2pm reservation because when we arrived every table was filled. The atmosphere was joyful, everyone deep in conversation and enjoying their meals. Hosts and servers eagerly bouncing between tables. We sampled several menu items including the wonderful beer flight and the delicious Brussels sprout appetizer. Our main courses were devoured the moment they hit the table: butternut squash pasta with pancetta, salmon and mushroom plates, and a crispy chicken sandwich. A perfect lunch location on rainy day, thank you for making our visit a memorable one.

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!
