We had reservations and were seated right away. Waitress was friendly, and helped answer questions about the food. We ordered fried brussel sprouts. So yum!! Ice tea with lavender and a hint of grapefruit was the recommended beverage served in mason jar glasses with handles. It was very crowded being a Saturday night, but people were seated fairly shortly. All ages with something for just about everyone. My one daughter had grilled cheese with tomato bisque, and loved it. My other daughter had a mixed green salad which came with salmon and more fried brussel sprouts! We helped her with those, ha

We had never heard of this restaurant - found in a google search. We live in rancho bernardo and a drive out of our immediate area was in order. What a pleasant surprise! Great menu with local sourcing. We started with tomato bisque soup, split a fried chicken waldorf salad with delicious bleu cheese dressing and ended with perfect butterscotch pudding topped with peanut brittle! Yum to all!! Great service and a nice lunch turnout for this small venue. The kitchy decor doesn't do the food/service justice! Will definitely return!

Great service and great food. Ran into this place and was overwhelmed by the quality of the ingredients. They source a lot of their stuff locally. I started out with the bacon bloody Mary and my wife tried the flight of beers. I got the Ham Benny, my wife got a Waldorf salad and my kids got the French toast. A friend got the pulled pork skillet which included pulled pork on a bed of potatoes and eggs. Another friend got avocado toast that she said was incredible. The ham benny was served on a huge homemade biscuit with kale, fresh cut ham, poached eggs and hollandaise with a side of potatoes. The

Was there on 1/15/22. My friend and I came from South Carolina and the Bay Area to pick up a working dog at Taylormade working dogs. While we were breaking from training Chris the owner suggested this restaurant for a late lunch. Let me say it was a great recommendation! The food delicious and service was great! So impressed. I wasn't expecting so many cute things in Ramona. But let me say it's a charming town. Thank you again for feeding us on a cold rainy day in San Diego! We will be back!!

This is far and away my favorite place in Ramona. The fried chicken is huge portions and amazing the burgers are fantastic and just about everything else I have tried on this menu has exceeded expectations. The service is always great I hope they are able to keep their outdoor dining behind the restaurant during warm weather post Covid. If you haven't been you definitely need to go it does get crowded so if you don't want to wait call ahead for reservations if you're gonna be heading over there during the dinner rush.

I am giving 5 stars because of one employees stellar service.
We come here often, unfortunately you have to be overly patient. It will take them awhile to acknowledge you and don't be in a rush for food. And then your food will be amazing but something will be messed up, for example my daughters cheeseburger had no cheese and my grilled cheese was barely warm.
HOWEVER if Tiffany is working she will go out of her way to make sure your taken care of even if she's not your waitress. Thank you for the apple slices and extra love Tiffany, you rock. Now train the others lol.

Cozy and delicious! Friendly staff and a clean dining area to take in the yummy goodness. The kids were impressed with the pancakes and the Benny Ham plate. Pork chilaquiles served on top of tortilla chips was great too and kept me full pretty much all day. On busy days, parking can be an issue since it's limited and the nearby businesses will tow your car if you do park on their property.

I was in the area and searched farm to table restaurants. Marinade on Main popped up so we stopped in. The restaurant itself is very cute. The waitress greeted us right away and took our drink order. Our drinks were brought out in mason jars adding to the cuteness. We ordered the Peach & Prosciutto Bruschetta and Our Amazing Mac & Cheese to start. I have never tasted a bruschetta like this. The crispy bread, creamy goat cheese, the peach and everything else... mmmm so delicious and the mac & cheese well the name says it all, amazing. I ordered the Portobella Burger and my sister had the chef special

We stopped by for a breakfast on our way back down to San Diego on Sunday.
SERVICE - The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were immediately ignored. We stood there for a moment and once they noticed the door was opened behind us, someone said "Can you close the door so the ac can stay inside please?" Once we closed the door, someone came up to us and said "How may I help you?". That was a bit strange because it did not feel welcoming. We let her know we were interested in eating there and she told us it would be a few min for a table since someone was getting their

The cheeseburger is DIVINE ! Best I've ever had...
This is our fourth time here and I cannot say anything bad about this restaurant. We called them in this morning for a reservation, got there 15 minutes after and table was ready five minutes later. We sat down and waited for about 10 minutes before we called over a waitress. She sincerely apologized for the miscommunication and in-fact gave us an amazing Biscuit Butterfly - on the house! This was completely unnecessary but it was so sweet of the waitress - Tiffany - to do this. About 6 minutes later we got our order and everything was phenomenal

Love love love marinades one of the best places to eat in Ramona 100% unique to our small town. If you like Farm to table then this is the place for you. The fried chicken is absolutely delicious. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu I recommend the PPP Frys, the Brussel sprouts appetizer and the Southern bell salad.

Wow, wow, wow...that about sums it all up!
We were driving through Ramona on a Saturday and decided to stop somewhere for breakfast. After looking at Yelp, we settled on Marinade on Main. Boy, are we glad we did!
Here is what we liked:
- Great outdoor seating, well spaced out
- Interesting menu...sure they have the standard breakfast fare, but they also have lots of items you wouldn't find elsewhere
- I ordered the Chicken Biscuit with an extra egg on top...it was amazing!
It had some of the most moist chicken I've ever had while eating out, it was only lightly breaded, and the

Really good spot! We love it here! Great food and all of it is so fresh and good. We ate here on a Friday night and brought our whole family back on Sunday for brunch/ lunch! Now we have lived in Ramona the last 6 months and have been here over 12 times! The Fried chicken is out of this world! I have also got the Burger, salmon, the chile special, brussel sprout salad and a few other items. All of them have been 5 star worthy! Service here is always good but I will say if the restaurant is busy be ready for a wait. It's a small place edith a small kitchen so only so much they can do. Not sure if
