OK, I went to The Mission when they first opened. I was not impressed by their menu, or by my dinner there that evening. I eat out every day, but never returned. Fast forward to today. I was headed somewhere else, but they were closed for the Labor day holiday. There were cars parked in front of The Mission (as there generally are) so I decided that perhaps I had been hasty in my original opinion.
Perhaps it was because I arrived after 3:00 when they only serve a limited menu, but I tried the brisket sandwich. The experience didn't start off bad...it was kind of flavorful and interesting, until I realized that what I was chewing on was mostly fat. The $12 sandwich was mostly not brisket (coleslaw and such), and the brisket that it contained was very fatty meat. The second half of the sandwich was so greasy that I passed on the saturated bread and picked through the contents...coleslaw and fat.
No third chance for this restaurant.
