My friend ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it as well. We went on a Sunday, and I loved that they had multiple TV screens playing the football games.

One thing I already know for next time: I'm definitely adding the chicken wings to my order! They kept coming out to other tables, and they looked and smelled SO good. I definitely should have ordered some! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and overall we had a wonderful time. I would definitely come back!

We ordered the Mac and cheese bites but they did not have any Mac.. it was just fried cut up mozzarella sticks. Which is great.. if that's what it was called on the menu. We also ordered a fried chicken sandwich and a pub burger. The chicken sandwich was fine. The pub burger was ... meh. The pretzel bun they brought out was over toasted and looked like it was pretty dry before that. Like it was HARD. No one came to check on us after the food arrived so I had to take my plate to the check out desk to address the issue. Cait took care of it right away; I asked for just a new bun - I don't mind swapping it out myself. But in the end the burger was still just meh. Almost forgot to mention the fries .. not great. They were salted well but the fries themselves were almost chewy. When we checked out, Cait said apologized and mentioned some staffing issues. She offered to get in touch with some sort of compensation but didn't offer to waive our one beer. We left paying full price for everything. Again, fine spot if you just wanted to hang out and drink beer.

The place was at full capacity but it was still easy to order since they have QR menus coupled with digital ordering from your phone. Also easy to get around the restaurant despite it being at capacity. They keep a sports sized igloo filled with water for a serve yourself experience. Plenty of screens and even projected on a large wall so you don't miss the action from any seat. Full service and size bar, not to mention some great bar foods; their loaded taters are a hit but the plain taters were not good. Giant pretzel is a must order.

The bars and restaurants on the main level of this area are always packed - I don't think the masses know about this nice bar quite yet. This outdoor bar overlooks Nats stadium (you can see about 60-70% of the field ); the views are absolutely fantastic, especially on warm weather days. There are 6-10 bar seats at a long bar and another smattering of 6-8ish bar tables scattered on the rooftop. There are also some more unique lounge style seating which really makes the spot seem comfortable and relaxed. There are a couple TVs hung in the bar area which also makes this a great place to catch a football game on Sundays. Their happy hour is everyday from 4-7pm; they offer discounted beer and wine for $7-8 and select discounted cocktails for $10. The service is always quick and the bartenders are warm and friendly. There is a limited food menu, though I'd advise grabbing a bite elsewhere. I've had the food just once; my chicken tenders were pretty flavorless and had a tough texture - won't get those again. Would rather pay a little more for better quality at Nats park. I'll continue to be a frequent visitor - this is the perfect rooftop pregame spot.

I had a steak taco (without the steak). It was good. Salsa made it excellent. The staff were so nice. The bartender was attentive and nice. I would order a soft taco again. The queso is excellent. The guacamole is awesome and worth the visit. There are monitors throughout the bars for viewing games. The women's bathroom is spacious. The only detail I would change is having brighter lights in the restroom. It is very dim. Mission has brunch on the weekends and is open late every day.

Anywho, the fact that we were two of 4 customers in the place should have told us all we needed to know. The burger was small and overcooked. Dry. The onion rings were good. The cheese sticks were what you would expect. So would I go there for a meal again? Definitely not.
