Mainstream Bar & Grill - American restaurant in Poway - 13385 Poway Rd, USA

First time visit. Met up with some friends for a quick bite and to enjoy a live band. Ordered their Hawaiian Burger with a side order of French fries. It was delicious! The band, Bad Rabbit, was playing on stage...loved their music!

Went here because we wanted to try something new and different - though it has been here for awhile. We were very happy with our choice! Live music, good food and a great server. We'll be back! We were upsold the mozzarella sticks - and they were worth it!

Fun place to hang out. Good foods and nice live music.

When we are planning to be in this area, we go here for breakfast. We went for dinner once. We are not bar visitors but it always seems like an active place. The dining area used to be in the main area but has now moved into another area that was planned to be a Mexican restaurant. The breakfast are typical with a hefty Mexican offerings. The food is always warm and good. I do feel that the servers sometimes forget that people are in this area to eat, you might sit 5 minutes before they see you. It's off to the side, a large space and usually quiet. There are still a few tables in the original space, but a pool table was added there. Bottom line good food with lots of choices

Popped to catch a game. Had some appetizers, drinks and food. Good time overall. Good service very friendly. Food was good. Wings were good. Salsa and chips were NOT. Nachos were ok...i guess. When you have nachos and chips on the menu, they gotta be good you can not mess up chips and salsa or nachos....some how they did. They did take the chips and salsa off my tab...5 stars. Atmosphere was cool, bar section of Mainstream is actually real nice. The bar side, is your typical dive bar side. I will go back for drink and game day. Just won't get nachos...lol..

We ordered the Mainstream Egg Breakfast plate and the chilaquiles. I should have listened to the other reviewers and not ordered a Mexican dish. The chilaquiles had dry carnitas, the salsa had absolutely no flavor, and the tortillas were soggy in the middle. The waitress was very attentive and checked up on us often. She was great!

It’s been a long time since we have been here and first time since the pandemic. We primarily came with our friends last Saturday to listen to 2Little2Late Band playing rock music that we can dance to. We ate dinner as well & the food good. Our server was friendly and came by to check regularly if we needed anything. The band was awesome.

Fun place to watch a game. Excellent service every time I’ve been there. The food portions are large. Everything has been good and solid. Shepard Pie, Meatloaf , burgers , salads. Everything has been good. Recommend
