Market & Main

Nestled at 104 N Main St in the historic heart of Troy, Illinois, Market & Main is a beloved downtown eatery that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The restaurant occupies a former market building, preserving exposed brick walls, reclaimed wood tables, and an open kitchen where Chef Alex Martinez prepares classic American dishes. Signature items include the Main Street Burger—an 8‑ounce beef patty topped with aged cheddar, caramelized onions, and house‑made pickles—alongside Market Fried Chicken, a crisp buttermilk‑battered favorite, and a seasonal Apple Pie à la Mode that showcases local orchard fruit. For lighter fare, guests can enjoy a fresh Caesar salad with garlic‑croutons and shaved Parmesan. The bar offers craft beers from regional breweries and a curated selection of Illinois wines. Market & Main welcomes diners Monday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Friday and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with a moderate price range of $12‑$25 per entrée. The interior features soft pendant lighting, vintage signage, and a cozy patio that looks out onto Troy’s Courthouse Square, making it an ideal spot for families, couples, and tourists exploring the nearby Mississippi River trail. Free Wi‑Fi, ample parking, and a friendly staff complete the experience, inviting guests to linger over brunch, lunch, or dinner while soaking up small‑town Midwestern hospitality.
