A focal point of downtown Guerneville, Main Street Station (16280 Main St., 707/869-0501, www.mainststation.com [2], daily) offers a big menu filled with homey, casual grub. The Station’s mainstay is its handmade pizzas; you can grab a quick slice for lunch, or bring friends and order a whole pie for dinner. In the evenings, locals and visitors come down to munch sandwiches and pizza, drink beer, and listen to live entertainment on the small stage. Though live folk, jazz, blues, and even comedy happen every single night, this tiny venue gets crowded when a popular act comes to town. Consider making reservations in advance to assure yourself of a seat.
