"I'm not sure how we've never been here. Main Street Restaurant has what I think is the best breakfast place in Idaho Springs. They have a huge selection of Benedict's and omelettes. I would say it was larger than any other restaurant I've seen, and they have even married the two into a benedict omelette, which my wife ordered. There are honestly a lot of places to eat in Idaho Springs, but this is going to the top of my list. The service was great and there was seating on New Years Day. I ordered the Hash Benedict, so instead of the traditional Canadian bacon, there's corned beef hash. Which is an amalgam of two of my favorite breakfasts. And it was great. I couldn't finish it all because I partied a little too hard on New Years Eve, but it even reheated well. The Benedict Omelette was also very good. There was diced Canadian bacon, onions and hollandaise sauce in the omelette. It came with a slice of toast and some homefries. It was a large meal. We overheard another waiter mention that you HAVE to get the bacon, and I agree. Unless you're a vegetarian, get the bacon. It's thick sliced and delicious. I'm more of a sausage guy, but this bacon was good. I'd highly recommend MSR if you can find parking and you are hungry for breakfast. This is a GREAT local gem with great food. Don't tell all your friends though. I want to still be able to get a seat when I'm rolling through!"
