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!!

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....
