The desire to own
a restaurant all began in 1968 when
Billy sold food around Fort McClellan
in a bus called “The Old Gray
Mare”. This job helped pay for
college, and support us as we struggled
as a very young married couple, living
among friends surviving basically
the same. Approximately 5-1/2 years
later Billy received his degree in
Business, and me with a PHT (put hubby
through).
Not being a risk
taker, Billy has to think long and
hard about most decisions. Being the
opposites we are, when the opportunity
came along (32 years later), I pushed
him over the cliff, and told him we
were buying a deli in Trussville,
and the commitment was made the next
day.
“Opening Day”
– Saturday, August 12, 2000.
We served breakfast at 6:00 a.m.,
and lunch at 11:00. Didn’t have
a clue about the restaurant business.
By Wednesday, we were so exhausted
that breakfast was out of the question.
With the help of
family and friends, we survived!
We
have been blessed in many ways, and
are thankful for our accomplishments
and success.
There are too many
to personally name, but you know who
you are, and we thank you for your
love, support, and care. Thank you
for the many hours of volunteer work
you gave to help us succeed. It worked!
 Cafe
on Main is located in the heart
of
the downtown area of Trussville,
Alabama. Our second cafe is located
on Hwy 75 as you enter Oneonta, Alabama.

Our
daughters, Leah and Anna, both graduated
from college with degree's that will
benefit the family business. We are
excited that they are helping grow
our business and make your experience
with Cafe on Main more enjoyable.
 “Special”
thanks to our parents – My
Dad, Leon Wilson for frying the
best chicken
you will ever eat. He is no longer
with us, but the memory of his advise
is never ending!
Billy’s Mother
– Inez Scharf Wright, for helping
in the kitchen, and the love in her
heart to always cook for her family.
She is unable to cook now, but we
have many memories of her fine “down
home” meals.
My Mother –
Jessie Wilson, for leaving with me
with so many memories of the kitchen.
She loved to make bread, which I have
never mastered. Correctness, and nutrition
was of great importance to her, and
I too, have followed her in many ways.
I miss her so, but inherited her love
of a good meal, prepared from the
freshest, quality ingredients.
Now, you know a
little about us, let us hear about
you. Our daily menu’s
are on this web site, and we would
love to have the pleasure of serving
you, and your family.
Join us for a little
Scrumptiously Southern!
