Agree, definitely nothing outstanding, but yes, Bonefish, Chop House, a few more are better than others. But, it's a trade off, "pretty good" and a lot of mediocre chains, for less crime and hassle of Chicago, L.A., San Fran, etc. I tried Mission twice now. I found it good and the brisket really good ! But, the first time order sandwiches (to pick up). Each had 4 slices of brisket exactly 2" by 4.5" inches. I believe they said 3 oz. Each was $10.19 plus tax, and did not come with fries (or beans, slaw, or something !). Next time ordered "meat market" style. Got 7 slices of brisket this way, exactly 2" by 4.5" also. Got a piece of cornbread with that and believe it was $10.49. After twice of $20 plus for a couple sandwiches, I'd say IF I did it again I'd order the "meat market" and again make us each a sandwich at home with more meat even if we had to use our own buns as we did before; but just seems for about $21 plus $4 tip, should be able to get two sandwiches and fries ? But the "meat market" way to order worked best for us even having to use our own buns at home !
