Mainstay Provisions — Restaurant in Seattle

The food in the photo is what we got for $46, no drinks just food.

We were surprised that essentially a breakfast sandwich without any sort of side was about $20 each.

We also realized that we were overcharged by $2.00 and rather than the manager correcting this for us he said the menu price was wrong and still charged us the higher amount. Not a bad way to lose a customer that lives nearby.

To put things into perspective, we went to Corner 8 Bistro on 8th street the day before and got 2 amazing sandwiches with sides and 2 oatmilk chais for $39 total (including a tip).

Mainstays is an overpriced convenience store style cafe. There are much better options...

I had a few extra minutes in between errands and stopped in during the lunch rush to get a bite to eat. I was expecting long lines but the front counter moved everyone along efficiently!

I've been here twice for lunch and will happily return in the future. Service was great, food was fresh and didn't take too long.

Mac n cheese was the perfect noodle consistency and cheese was good. The Reuben sandwich overall tasted great, but the ratio of meat to kraut should have been swapped. So glad to have this location a short walk...
