Went there after a concert at Carrol University. We got there before the dinner rush and had great service. I like the different meat options and variety of specialty toppings. It was create your own option. Prices was great and so was the food.

Wonderful service from both the bartenders and servers. Mia was the main tender tonight and was extremely attentive and dutiful to her clientele. The drinks were cold, crisp, and perfect after a long day.
The food was hot, juicy, flavorful and extremely well portioned. I enjoyed every bit of my experience. I ordered the build your own burger, a side of French fries, and a portion of traditional wings. All of there wing sauces and rubs always hit. The burgers are large, juicy and made to order. Medium rare was perfection. The fries are absolutely cooked in clean oil, which is extremely reflective in the taste profile.
The servers were extremely kind and welcoming, and attentive. Props both of them for running around in a busy bar tonight. The music also wasn’t overly loud to where I need to scream to communicate with my party. The lighting was pleasant, and the seating comfortable.
We will be back soon for more of the menu, which we always have to try something new and different every time! We are eagerly awaiting the Reuben burger coming in March for the burger of the month! I recommend this establishment to all my close family and friends as they continue to improve every time we visit. Thank you, Mainstream for always being a local watering hole worthy of frequency of drinks, food, and merriment! Until next time friends!

Update: Tried the southwest burger and it was amazing
Food was great and drinks are reasonable! Highly recommend checking this place out.
The fried mushrooms were actually surprisingly good. (Never seen that on a menu before) We both got the$12 burgers with unlimited toppings… crazy! We will be back for sure!!!

Service was a little slow in the beginning, only one waitress and one bartender seemed to be working this Saturday lunch. Another waitress showed up eventually so that was good. Once we finally got drinks and our order placed things were smooth. And honestly the burgers made up for anything lacking in the beginning. So flavorful and cooked perfect. Husband and I commented on how great they were atleast 3 times each. Got a Caribbean jerk aoli sauce with my sweet potato fries that I was unsure about but was also delicious. The regular battered fries also *chefs kiss*. So bottom line, would love to come back for food, hope it’s not busy or is better staffed, and would be interested to see the nightlife here. Could be a fun vibe.

Cheesecurd oh my god! I always get it whenever I visit.
I got a pizza that i didn’t order but somehow customized as I asked for They gave me the right one within 10 min which was great!
Boss burger was decent, meat is always a bit overcooked so if you want well done, order medium well done:)
If you want something new, try the one with blackberry jam!

Food was great tasting, owner and bartenders were very friendly & nice. Until we over heard a server call another server Dora the Explorer outloud at the bar. Very uncalled for and disrespectful towards anyone, let alone a co-worker. Will be back for more great food, hopefully that said server won’t be back there.

The food is really quite good, so there’s that. The service, though, is pretty inconsistent and seems to dip A LOT when they’re busy. I don’t just mean service is a little slower, which would be totally understandable. It just kind of evaporates. They’ll point you to a table and then forget about you for 30 minutes. You’ll watch wait staff take five trips to clear a table while completely ignoring new tables. Or waitresses will wander around with an order in their hands and try to drop it at wrong tables multiple times before getting it right. They just kind of fall apart past a certain crowd size. They’re worth a stop and I’d even highly recommend them if they sorted out their problems. But for now I’d only recommend going on slower nights. Otherwise there are several places right next door to them that are also very good and are a more consistent experience.

Since the new owner took over, I’ve seen a massive decline in service when sitting down to eat. We’ve been here twice since new ownership and the experiences were vastly different. We were there last night and the place had only a few tables (8pm Friday). We sat down at a table and nobody came to greet us until a woman sitting down (not a worker??) called over to one of the servers that they had a table. We gave her our drink order (water) and when she came to drop them off she was about to walk off before I stopped her asking if we can put our food order in. The food was great, consistent with how it was with previous owner, but the server just wasnt present and interested in serving us. She had maybe 4-5 tables being shared with another server. There was a bartender behind the bar so she didn’t have to make drinks. When we got our check she gave us the wrong one. I don’t know, maybe I’m being overly sensitive but it was just not enjoyable dining in. Next time, we will order food to go

Since they went under new ownership, we’ve been less than satisfied with the new menu, and food. First they took items off the menu, including one of our favorites, the scallops. Then, last night when we went there, we ordered two salads. Both salads had so much dirt/grit in them, we thought we were eating on a beach. When the new salads arrived, they were soggy, most likely due to the kitchen not properly drying the lettuce after washing. Since we don’t eat red meat or chicken, we’ll have to think twice before going back to give them another try.

The service was great! The food was pretty good. The Asian salad could use some mandarin oranges, some wontons, or some sesame seeds to add to it – because as is, it’s kind of plain. Will return to try something else next time I’m in the area.
