I honestly didn’t think they was gonna nail it but the Gumbo hands down reminded me of the gumbo I had in Cali the hush puppies are home made!! The bruschetta was American not the original Italian way but still tasted great! The chicken and shrimp pasta was worth the money and my son enjoyed the crab legs!! The portions def hit cause I had enough to take home and eat later!!! Will def be enjoying the rest of the menu soon!!

Underwhelming. Place looked like they just opened – the whole place was empty, no one behind the bar that had plywood shelves for the single row of bottom shelf liquors, a single waitress that we saw, cooks watching tv.
Ordered the andouille sausage gumbo bowl, expecting a bowl of broth, rice, regular gumbo fixings, and hush puppies – not a tall ask considering the dish…Received a deep dish plate (not a bowl) of undercooked rice, seemingly canned green peppers and onions, chicken(?), sausage, maybe a single ladle of broth/water, and just now am I realizing I didn’t get my damn hush puppies! Out of the entire experience, that hurts the most. It’s totally on me for not sending it back. But I will say the seasonings and sausage were good.
“Jumbo” wings would’ve only been jumbo in a newborn’s hand. Sauces were “meh.”
Kids’ cheeseburger was surprisingly good. Same with the fries.
I’m not sure if we had the C team or something considering some of the other pictures posted. Needless to say, it’ll take convincing for us to return.

The staff are warm and welcoming every time we go. You just can’t ask for better! The food is so delicious too! I just love the seafood bags, so that’s the only thing I can honestly review because I always return to it! They have the perfect blend of spice and flavor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food I had was great and I’m a very picky person when it comes to my fish and grits…. The grits were so creamy I would definitely recommend and go back.

The Mainline restaurant in Burlington Iowa is a place will definitely visit again. Atmosphere was nice and in an older building with a little history. The food was great. Had the chicken/shrimp fettuccine Alfredo myself along with some gumbo. Always love a good gumbo and cajun food so this place hit the spot. Portions were plentiful too. Also being in downtown its close to things within walking distance like the port of Burlington, a few bars, shopping, etc. I liked it.

*A New Burlington Gem!*
The Main Line Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way! The service was top-notch, with our server providing excellent recommendations. The food was perfection – we loved the crab boil “bag”, jambalaya, gumbo, and shrimp and grits. Each dish was expertly seasoned and cooked.
What impressed us most was that they’ve only been open for just over a year! We’re kicking ourselves for not visiting earlier. We’ll definitely be back to try more menu items and indulge in another crab boil (or two!). Compliments to the chef and staff for their outstanding service and culinary expertise. *Chef’s kiss* indeed! A must-visit for any local or visitor to Burlington that loves seafood and Cajun cuisine!

The place is gorgeous and filled with history. It has a great atmosphere. The owner is so nice and friendly, and her cooking is phenomenal. What a great experience and so glad I could get some delicious seafood in Iowa!!

Would give a zero star if I could. My family and I went to the grand opening about a year ago. They didn’t have half their menu and we waited over an hour and a half for our food to arrive. Our kids were getting very hungry. We did not expect to be waiting for that long and that’s not even counting eating time. Once we finally got our food, it wasn’t that good. None of my family finished their plates. We ordered the bruschetta and it was just diced tomatoes and bread. We spent over $100 there and it was definitely not worth even $50 for the quality of food we got. Service was slow. Asked for the pay check and it took them over 30 plus minutes to give us the check and to process the payment, on top of that they lost my card for awhile and didn’t know where they placed it. Luckily they found it. Another table next to us were waiting on their bill as well and it was myself and the other gentleman standing there while our families waited in the lobby. My family and I decided to not go back and give them time to see if it gets better.
We came back today almost a year later…and it was almost a repeat expect worse. The restaurant was totally empty and we were the only family there before another couple arrived. Thinking we could get some quick food for us and the three kids. We ordered two cheeseburgers and some catfish and a side. None of that should take that much time to prepare. We sat there for over an hour and a half before the waitress told us it’s almost done. Mind you the waitress came out and checked on us 2 times in that entire 1 1/2 hours of waiting. Our drinks were empty. We had no napkins. Our one baby was getting fussy waiting for so long. Turns out they had a problem in the back with a leaking light fixture. It would have been nice to know that, rather then just let us sit waiting and wondering where our food is at. Very unprofessional. We could have came back later if we had known there were problems. We eventually started getting up to leave without food when our waitress finally came out with our meals. We sat down and looked and they messed up both our cheeseburgers. One had everything on it that it wasn’t suppose to the other was an entirely wrong cheeseburger. We asked how long it would take to make them right and they couldn’t give us answer besides it shouldn’t take as long as the first time…you mean the 1 1/2 hours we just had to wait!?. We left without eating after all that time. Absurd, poor service, lack of detail and communication when waiting on customers.
We will never be back to this restaurant again. We tried to give them another chance and they failed miserably.

Servers were great. The food was outstanding. I got the gumbo. It was a large helping. Quite spice as it should be. Others at our table got the half bag which was spicy and delicious. Another was grits and shrimp. Highly recommend any of those dishes. Prices are crazy low. We will make this one on top of our visits.

Was so looking forward to trying this place. Have always been disappointed that there wasn’t any where to get seafood around here. We were not disappointed! I got the 1/2 bag. it had crab legs, 2 potatoes, corn, sausage, and shrimp. My husband got 2 lobster tails, baked potato, and salad. The only thing was the corn on the cob was a bit soggy. Of everything we ordered, the corn is what I cared the least about anyway. Our waitress advised me on the spicyness of what I ordered and I took her advice. She was 100 % right. The building is beautiful, they could possibly furnish and decorate differently, but who cares?! We will be back and will spread the word about our enjoyable dinner!
