| - Thursday night after a WOD, a couple girls and I decided to head down to Mission for a bite to eat. We wandered around in some places but they were full as there was a hockey game on. We chanced it at Joyce and got lucky with a high top table for three. Joyce is an Irish pub located on the strip of 4th street in Mission, across the street from Earls.
Music was loud but not blazing loud, we were able to hear each other talk. There were crowds of people but it wasn't bumpy busy, we just minded our own busy at the high top. Shortly, the waitress came around to hand us menus and water. Mecoh and I are doing paleo while Maddie isn't so Mecoh and I ordered the original 1937 cobb salad with the dressing on the side and no bleu cheese. Maddie went with the chicken and brie sandwich and the soup of the day.
The food came out altogether and the salad was huge. The cobb salad was a mix of iceberg and romaine lettuce topped with rows of avocado, tomato, bacon, green onions, hardboiled egg, and chicken. If you're trying to watch what you eat....this would be the salad to get. Simple yet delicious!! Maddie's chicken brie sandwich was some charbroiled chicken topped with brie and a tomato relish on a multi grain bun with dijon mayo and soup of the day which was a spicy curry soup thick. The sandwich didn't look appetizing to me but Maddie thought it was okay. I notice the brie wasn't melted but more like a thick slice. Maddie thought the soup was too spicy but she doesn't take spicy hot very well. I mentioned that it would be lovely on a bed of rice, so she took the soup to go ;)
Overall, the food wasn't anything special but it was good. Typical pub food but with slightly more options. I was drooling over the other items in the menu, nachos, sticky toffee pudding!!!!! (can't believe I didn't order my favorite dessert - yay for self control ;)).
I can't wait to come back to try all the pub grub I'm not allowed to have right now. Hehe I'd say Joyce is a great place to chill with a group of friends and take your time, have a couple drinks and shoot the shit.
See you later next month Joyce! :)
