Came in today to see my buddy that was working as the head Chef, Woody.Turns out he's no longer here but I stayed and had lunch anyway. I'm glad I did. ?The bartender Amy was very attentive and brought me a Raspberry vodka & sprite in about 90 seconds after I asked for it! So nice. Not too strong but not weak either, just right! The ice was the perfect temperature too. ?I thought about ordering the Green chili pork fries based on Amy's excellent description of it, but unfortunately I am allergic to onions so I had to choose something else. I was bummed because she made them sound so delicious. With no way to pull the onions out, as they are cooked into the sauce I had to pass. It sounded so good I almost ordered it anyway!I ended up settling on the Turkey Sandwich and was incredibly surprised.Way better than I expected, in fact I told her it literally reminded me if the day after Thanksgiving, but seriously elevated!It didn't have cranberry on it but something gave me a reminder of the cranberry Mom use to put on her day after T-day sandwiches years ago. Oh the memories it brought back.The Turkey Sandwich as on the Mission Ave menu includes; Herbaceous turkey, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, mostarda, and chili aioli on toasted sourdough.It also came with some very crispy fries, ranch, and ketchup. Perfection!So darn good.I only work a few blocks away but haven't ever made it in to Mission Ave. for lunch yet.After tasting that Sandwich and being slightly smitten with Amy's incredibly good service, I will coming back for more of both on the regular.I highly recommend you ask for Amy, or just sit at the bar and you can't miss her beautiful smile and kind greetings.Enjoy!
The sirloin was the healthiest option on the menu. I think it could use a few more options. Best to go here if you’re looking for a burger and fries.
I love the atmosphere here, as well as the drinks and food. Lots of great choices of both. The location is great too and I've never had an issue finding parking.
A good bar hang out with pretty good food. My $17 Mission Cheeseburger was a little small for its price. The bun was excellent, as were the side of fries.
Roland the bar tender is bi Polar and super crazy. Last halloween I went there and asked what IPA were available and Roland said look for yourself. I kindly said I forgot my glasses and can not see, and he told me thats my problem not his. Tonight I went and he was super rude, I still gave a 20 percent tip and then he took my last beer and kicked us out. Luckily I was able to cancel my tip. Just be careful, I'm from Oceanside, and never had someone act like this. Other then that the food is good, beer is good. Just watch out for Roland

Excellent food and service. We came in for New Years Eve and everything was top notch. Good music and ambiance with large selection of beers, whiskeys and cocktails. I had the udon noodle dish with steak and my wife had the hot wings. Will definitely be back to try more!
The menu is great, very different from other places. The mac n cheese is amazing with the addition of corn! will come back!
Only 2 waitresses for a full house. Although very good service. Ordered mission burgers which were $17 each for a small burger and fries. The Calicreme ale and Ogogpogo Boeman Belgian White Ale were excellent. Pear cider was good.
Good food and great atmosphere. We ordered the brisket grilled cheese and tomato soup and the cheeseburger. The tomato soup was just right and the fries were crunchy as they should be ! The burger and grilled cheese were tasty! Perfect spot to stop for a late night bite :)
