I LOVE this place. Been going there for many years. The food is fantastic....every item is so so good. They have specials that make it even more economical. The staff is always friendly. Its my favorite Go-to for breakfast and casual dinners. Lunch is great also. Can't say enough good things about Mainstream!!

Absolute worst experience ever. Went to eat breakfast on 9/26/2025. Took 1 1/2hrs Our server was slow!!! When we got up to leave she had misplaced my credit card. We waited another 10 min for her to find it and process. Will have to find another breakfast place!!!

Meh.. fries are hot and crunchy. Beer selection for an IPA lover sub par at best Food.. so-so. This is more a local hang out where ppl are used to their friends over food quality. I wouldn't recommend to a sports lover on a Saturday showing past Sunday games and not current college games. I'd rather be at Pitchers in Rancho Penasquitos. Food is better.

Because i was in the area, I stopped in for a bite to eat. Huge place. Lot of TV's Ordered the pork pot stickers as appetizer and for lunch ordered the standard burger with bacon, and fries. If i was going to be disappointed about anything it would be that this is a Pepsi joint, not a joke joint. I do not drink Pepsi...ever...overall, the pork pot sticker was great, had crispness and still chewy. Dip was great with it. The burger was simple, but very good. I will return and order her again.

Great food any time of the day, brunch menu is great and there’s a wide range of options on the main menu. Love all the bartenders, servers, and other staff. One of my favorite spots.

Went for breakfast on a Sunday. They had every NFL game on with multiple TV. The service was super fast and friendly with no sacrifice of quality. The food was so good I ate more then I would normally. Sarah was my server and I loved the instant seating with a smile. All around great spot. Will be back
This is NOT a good Green Bay Packers bar!!! They are listed as one, but they don’t highlight the game and don’t even have sound! It wasn’t good last season and it started off horrible this season!! We left after kick off! Bar staff is also not friendly at all!

Food is nice. Servers are on the ball. Hey it's a bar! But, with the roll up door to the patio, it makes it an Open Bar! Ha! Go. Enjoy. Now.

My family and I come here at least twice monthly for breakfast. We always receive amazing service from Leslie and Emily. Breakfast foods are cooked to perfection and almost never disappoint.
We have tried their dinner service a few times and haven't been back since. Though the service itself was good, the food was o.k at best. Their Mexican food is flavorless, regardless of meat choice, and their rice and beans were sad. The selection of hamburgers is decent, but almost always cold and pink inside upon table delivery. The garlic fries were my favorite with their rich garlicky flavor and actual minced garlic.
There are two sides to the restaurant, the bar with billiards and the jukebox and then the larger dining area that has been painted with murals of their attempted, but never took off, Mexican Restaurant, 'Tequila Fuente', if you've made it this far, then you know why.
Overall, we enjoy having breakfast here and is my family's go-to place for good, fairly priced food and awesome service.
Kid-friendliness: No kids menus. However, there is a small kids section on the regular menu. A nice variety is available.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp right out front with plenty of handicap parking spaces.
Sophie, our waitress, was awesome!
