🍸 LOOK WHO’S SHAKING THINGS UP AROUND WAKE COUNTY! 🍸😂

Our very own Jason was recognized by INDY Magazine as Runner-Up for Best Mixologist! 🥈🍹

If you’ve sat at his bar, you know — great cocktails, good stories, plenty of laughs and probably a little sarcasm. 😂

For our little restaurant in Downtown Wendell to have our guy recognized across Wake County is pretty darn special. ❤️

Not bad, Jason… not bad at all. 😉🍸

🇮🇹🍺🍷 COME SEE US TODAY & HELP US GIVE BACK!

Today, Main Street Kitchen + Bar is proud to give back to our community at the St. Eugene’s International Food & Music Festival.

We are donating our time and food to the festival and our team is also staffing the Beer & Wine Booth throughout the event.

So when you visit the festival, stop by the Italian Booth for something delicious and then come see our team at the Beer & Wine Booth for a cold beer or glass of wine! 🍺🍷

Your support of the festival helps St. Eugene’s continue its outreach and support of families throughout our community.

We’re not there to promote ourselves today — we’re there to serve, give back and support a community that has supported us. ❤️

Come out, enjoy the food, music and cultures of our community — and help make today a success! 🇮🇹🎶❤️

Our hearts are incredibly full.

Through the grace of God, a lot of faith, hard work, and the support of this wonderful town, our family took a chance on a dream. To now receive two wins and a runner-up in INDY Best of the Triangle 2026 is incredibly humbling.

But we also want to share something from our hearts.

We need our community. ❤️

Awards are wonderful, but they don’t necessarily mean a small business is thriving. The truth is, we need more people walking through our doors for this dream to continue.

So if you’ve been meaning to stop in — now is a really good time.

Come have lunch. Join us for dinner or Sunday brunch. Wander through the boutique and support our local vendors. Bring a friend. Tell someone about us.

You don’t have to spend a lot. Sometimes simply choosing local is enough to make a difference.

We love this town and truly want to be here for many years to come. We believe in Downtown Wendell, and through God’s grace, we’re continuing to believe in this little dream of ours.

Thank you, Wendell, for every visit, every meal, every purchase, every prayer and every bit of encouragement. We appreciate you more than you know. ❤️
