    Turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich

    Second review of the Mainzer. My family and I went around 11 am or so. The service was exceptional as always and the food well the pictures speak for themselves. The place was clean from tables, chairs, and utensils. The only thing that I noticed is the bottle of Chalula was empty. The good news is that it won't stop us and it shouldn't stop you from going. A family of five $115. Not bad.

    Definitely a great spot to eat! This is a pretty hidden place. Even though it stand out in downtown but the fact that it has like a movie theater and a little section to play games and a stage and than a restaurant on the side! Great place to chill and get a bite and enjoy the vibe. Very clean and impressive bathrooms too.

    Breakfast tacos

    Great place for brunch or just fun!! Enjoyed the breakfast tacos- chorizo and scrambled egg on homemade tortillas served with hashbrowns! Yum!

    My rating is based on the take out order we called in while at the tap room across the street. We got pizza, wings, tacos, and two sandwiches (spicy chicken and pulled pork) and they were all great. The hostess was very accommodating in filling our order.

    Drinks were good. Food was okay and overpriced. Nice environment and vibe. Service is on the slower side -- one person working. Overall, it was decent.

    I came here for a comedy show with my hubby and my brother and other half :,) it was the funniest show and the food was delicious! The service was so nice and welcoming and the ambiance was great! I definitely recommend this spot for a good laugh and night out :)

    2 meals instead of the 3 we ordered cause they were out of something.  Don't bring out 2 meals without the 3rd.

    So we order 3 meals for us. It's a bit of a wait for our food, no biggie, it's Easter. But don't bring out 2 meals & tell us you're out of plantain waffle mix and ask my niece if she wants something else. Now she has to watch us eat and wait for her food order again.. SMH...I was beyond pissed. The kitchen should've communicated with the server right away so he could let us know the problem. This is my first & last visit to this place. They've left a sour taste in my mouth. Uodate: Maria V..we were not told about you being out of mix before they brought out the rest of our orders. While the cook was making the other meals, we should have been notified right away so a different order could have been placed & ALL of our plates brought out at once. That was my biggest thing. When the cook received the order & knew about being out of mix...why didn't they ask the server to inform us sooner??

    We came in to try the new menu. My ultimate favorite was the deep pried pickles. They changed them to panko pickles. I did enjoy the panko, and the pickles were more crispier. Unfortunately, they no longer have the same dipping sauce for the pickles and eating it with ranch was just plain. I miss the old dipping sauce. I tried the Ruben which was absolutely delicious. The pastrami was lean and there was the perfect amount of sauce and sauerkraut. The rye bread was delicious. I did upgrade to a salad for an additional price and it was worth it. Fresh ingredients. They did remove my go to chicken salad. I don't know if I will go as often without my favorite salad. As always the service was WONDERFUL. Always a smile and our server ( bartender) did go check on the bread ingredients for us. My husband has an allergy and she checked in the ingredients for us first. I love that willingness to take that extra step.

    Finally got around to a second visit. Brought my hubby with me! We hit this spot for brunch. Immediately fell in love with the art and music that was throughout the building! He had the biscuits and gravy. Doesn't matter what spot we're at for breakfast or brunch. If biscuits and gravy are on the menu he's getting it. He really enjoyed the gravy and homemade biscuits. The menu stated it came with a fried egg but he had asked for over easy instead. When the food came, it was fried. I ordered the brûlée brioche french toast w/ caramelized pineapples. When my food arrived it looked amazing! The crème anglaise was smooth and not too thick or too thin. I wish there was a bit more on the plate along with more pineapple. Maybe in the middle between the brioche. The french toast was light and fluffy. The brûléed sides gave it a nice little crunch. I highly recommend if you have a sweet tooth for breakfast/ brunch. I ordered a strawberry mimosa however they were out of strawberry syrup so I went with a pineapple one. Just tasted like champagne. We'll definitely be back in the near future not just for the food but for the other festivities as well!

The food was flavorful, and the portions were just right for each plate we were served. I have a few cocktails because they were a must. Dinner starts around 6pm, it states to be there by 5:30pm so you can get in and get seated, and I highly recommend getting there right when they open so you can get seats facing the stage, you do have assigned tables. The staff all around are so nice, they are quick, they are efficient and deserve to get tipped, because they work really hard for it. I do like this space because it's pretty good inside, and they have plenty of seating, they are also ADA compliant as well. They also put on the best performances, they do have season passes where you can pick which shows you'd like to see. If you like musical theater then you will enjoy and love coming here.

    My wife and I went with a group this past week, not knowing what the play would be,…read moreand not really caring because we have thoroughly enjoyed all the plays we have seen there over the years. THE FOOD.... I ordered the Red Wine Short Ribs braised in water. They were boneless and served with mashed potatoes, gravy and honey glazed carrots. The carrots were delicious. The rib meat was waaay over braised. Mushy, like pot roast which has been over cooked. The only part that had any bite to it was the connective tissue which apparently does not break down during braising. There was zero flavor left in the meat. And not a hint of seasoning. I always season and smoke mine low and slow till about160 degrees and then braise them, until probe tender. I add more seasoning when done. I expected the rib meat to be on a bone. That's what makes a rib a rib. The mashed potatoes were... well... mashed potatoes. The gravy was canned or made to imitate canned. Others in my group stated similarities of their "ribs" meals. Did I mention that the carrots were delicious? YES! And except for them, the meal would have been a total miss. My wife chose the salmon dish. It was nothing special. Others spoke of their meals of Chicken Cordon bleu very positively. THE PLAY: "Something Rotten", a play that I had not previously heard about was really not my style. The story line was interesting, but there were a bit of crude risqué lines here and there and some slight comically negative slams against God, which I thought was in very poor taste and totally unnecessary. On a more positive note, the stage was filled with talent! The acting, singing, and dancing were excellent throughout. The room was extremely cold, apparently with AC running to keep the cast cool in their heavy period costumes. I will probably be much more attentive to play content and food prep if I ever go again.

The story rapidly progresses and the time just flew by, even though it was two hours long! :) Over the years I have been to 2nd Space Theatre multiple times and each performance that I have been fortunate to attend, has been top-notch! Usually PERFECTLY cast too! The plays that they choose to perform are family friendly, which is why I like to support them. It is a small theater, but that's the beauty of it. The creativity with props, lighting and costumes never ceases to amaze me. For what they have to work with, it's amazing what they can pull off. This is the first time I have gone, where they have offered us SEAT CUSHIONS! I recommend them too! Guess why! ;) At intermission, they sell a variety of candy bars, water, cookies, coffee, and cocoa. All of it is about two dollars each. You cannot take food or drinks into the theater, with the exception of bottled water. You can park directly across the street in the east side of the Dollar Tree parking lot, or near the Chinese restaurant / Health food store area and walk east. I consider what they offer our city as a 'gift'. Fresno truly has some GREAT local talent!
