Behind the Business: Main Street Custom Cutting and Grill

JEROME, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — “We put our heart and soul into everything we do here.”

Mike Wilkes and his family have been running Main Street Custom Cutting and Grill in Jerome since 2021.

“I was a long haul truck driver looking to go off the road and a friend of a friend got us involved with this guy and we worked up a deal,” Wilkes said.

The restaurant is truly family-owned and operated, the Wilkes and their sons run every part of the business, offering up favorite comfort foods.

“Burgers, grilled sandwiches got fried goods, fries, tots, that kind of stuff. A wide variety of ice creams, shakes, frozen lemonades, that kind of thing,” Wilkes explained.

When it comes to the food they serve, Wilkes said freshness is key.

“Made from scratch, all of this stuff here is fresh, grind our own burger, make our own buns, we cut all of our veggies daily.”

That attention to details is something important to him.

“If I wouldn’t eat it myself, I wouldn’t serve it to you. So I think most people would tell you that our food reflects that greatly.”

Fresh food isn’t the only thing you’ll find here, custom cutting comes first in their name for a reason.

“I handle all aspects of the kill through processing of the animal and get that animal in your freezer for you.”

And whether it’s ordering meats to take home, or stopping by for a meal, Wilkes said one thing is the same no matter what.

“They get greeted with a warm smile, we’re going to walk you through the menu, we’re going to give you ideas, we’ll let you try different things, we just want you to be warmed and welcome as possible.”
