Mission Springs Brewing Company — Restaurant in Mission

We ate at Mission Springs on a Saturday between 2pm and 3pm. The restaurant side was closed, and it was the first time on the Pub side. We walked through to the pub side and had no idea where to go... then about 5mins of loitering, and a server told us that we had to go wait at the door to be seated and to expect a wait as they were short staffed... no problem there. Then, about 35 mins later, she came back and asked if we wanted to sit on the patio... sure, no problem... until it was a problem... there were people chain smoking right beside us... and normally I would not care. However, we had our 7 and 11-year-old with us... I approached the server and asked if we could have a table inside instead, and she said it would be about 15-20 mins... I was really shocked that the inconsiderate human beside continued to chain smoke even after seeing us sit down with our young kids, and secondly why it was not disclosed to us that they permitted smoking on their patio. We ordered food and it was not how I remembered it... the gravy for the poutine tasted burnt and too salty, cheese curds were not melted one bit... my wife ordered the spinach, and artichoke dip was lukewarm at best to the point when the cheese was not even melted, to the point where the chips snapped when trying to scoop the dip. I ordered the honey garlic chicken wings and there was hardly any meat on the bones and the sauce tasted like it came right out a bulk sauce container that went stale... too much of a chemical aftertaste... not to mention it was gelatinized and wings were cold. We also ordered a Ceasear with grilled chicken and it came out with a battered chicken and the coating tasted burnt, as if it came out of dirty fryer oil... I hope these food items can be improved. We felt very bad for the new server as she seemed to be doing her best being her first day... and for the other staff as they did seem very short staffed. (That's why we didn't complain at the time) My hope would be that the quality of these food items can be improved with this feedback.... then I may consider giving them another try. And maybe the owner should consider having a smoke free patio or at the very least having a designated smoking patio that is more open for ventilation and also not so close to entrance to restaurants... and not to mention what about the staff that are being exposed to the second had smoke as the current smoking patio has terrible...

I must say, my recent dining experience at Mission Springs Brewing Company left much to be desired. I was genuinely excited to try their renowned their food and beer. However, I regret to inform you that the experience turned out to be quite a letdown.

First and foremost, the pizza I ordered was a complete disaster. To my surprise, it was topped with what seemed to be a Himalayan mountain of salt. Now, I appreciate a well-seasoned dish, but this was beyond excessive. It felt as though I was munching on a salt lick rather than enjoying a delicious pizza. Needless to say, this peculiar choice of seasoning didn't sit well with my taste buds or my stomach.

Unfortunately, the aftermath of this salty monstrosity was rather unpleasant. It didn't take long for my body to react, and I ended up experiencing a rather unappetizing bout of vomiting. I can assure you, the combination of that overpowering salt and the subsequent vomiting was not a recipe for an enjoyable dining experience.

However, what truly baffled me was the restaurant's response to our ordeal. Instead of displaying any sort of empathy or concern for their customers, they decided to cut us off from the restaurant altogether. I suppose their solution to a dissatisfied customer is to simply ban them from returning. It's truly a shame to see such a lack of customer service and accountability.

In conclusion, I would caution anyone considering dining at Mission Brewing Company. Unless you have a strong desire for excessive salt and a penchant for being ostracized, I suggest exploring other pizza options in town. As for me, I'll be taking my pizza cravings elsewhere, where I can enjoy a well-prepared pie without the unnecessary salt and the added bonus of being valued...

How did I live in Mission for the last few years and not know about this place! I've been buying their Peach Radler beer from my local liquor store this whole time, but dang is it amazing on tap 👏

This is our Beers and Burgers spot. Although admittedly, I go there for the pizza.

Spicy mushroom pizza is great. The dough is high quality and cooked stone oven style. The Garden Veggie is also good but with the crazy fast cooking time leaves the plentiful veggies a little under-cooked in my opinion.

The burgers are phenomenal. I have tried the Hawaiian and my boyfriend has had both the 57 Chevy and the Diablo. The 57 Chevy was pretty great but the Diablo is a work of burger art. So freaking good and the perfect blend of toppings.

The pickle spears are perfectly done and I suspect they make their own pickles. Spinach and Artichoke dip is very good but a small portion with a ton of chips.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie dessert is so so good. Warm and perfect.

And then there is the beer. I'm a radler kind of person so there are a ton of choices and I recommend the flight to try a bunch. The lemon radler may reign Supreme though. Also the happy hour special beer so that is handy.

Boyfriend has tried both the McLennans Scotch Ale and the Red Ale and loved then both. If you like dark beers, the Scotch Ale is great for you.

The Vibe is chill and the servers are excellent. The decor is a wild mix of antiques and animal heads but the perfect environment...
