The food here is amazing and really well priced. I would have eaten here much more while visiting but we kept trying other places. Lovely staff. We sat outside with the umbrellas over us. We all enjoyed our food.

Great local spot. Was going through Vacaville on our way to Tahoe. Family who live in the area recommended this gem. We stopped by on the weekend and enjoyed the brunch menu. It is a set menu price with multiple items to choose from and includes mimosas. They start every table with fruit and coffee cake. We had the salmon, the california eggs benedict and the 49’er fried chicken biscuit stack. Recommend asking for extra gravy. Service is great and seating both inside and outside.

I like the fish and chips, crispy and tender inside. The calamari is good too crispy in the outside and tender inside. The only downside is the server she is nice and attentive to our table but she keep forgetting our beers we will come and give it a try again.

This place is such a great time. Me and some coworkers went to this place for brunch for someone’s birthday and had a wonderful time. The 27.99 Brunch special they have is the best freaking brunch I have ever had. It is any entree with all you can drink Champagne while you dine. They also bring out a little fruit tray with crackers and cheese as an appetizer. This is actually my 2nd time there and would definitely recommend to all my friends and family.

Great spot, great service, everything we ordered was spot on. Really enjoyed the fried zucchini appetizer special with the sweet Jalapeno dip. My spicy chicken sandwich was huge and extremely tasty! Everything was great!

The GEM of Vacaville. Merchant and Main is a Vacaville institution. We've been going to M&M for decades. Bottomless champagne, Sunday brunch, and football is a ritual. I am biased, tho. I love this place, the food and its people. Great people and consistant. Had my birthday's, wedding reception, and my anniversaries here! BBQ Oyster Night is on!
