Everybody knows that St. Patrick's Day is next week, so why would I be writing a said holiday-themed post this week? Basically, it's because next week I'll be in Florida and I'm not sure if I'm going to know what day it is once I get there.
Anyway, I recently went to Mickey's Pub, 11 S. Dubuque St. in downtown Iowa City. The place is known for its great burgers, but they have an assortment of other tasty dishes as well. Check out the menu for yourself.
When I got there, I was fully expecting to order my favorite burger there: the bleu cheese and bacon burger. Then something else caught my eye. With St. Patrick's Day coming soon, I had been craving some corned beef, and the Reuben sandwich just sounded too good to pass up.
I was a little skeptical, since the price for the sandwich and fries was a little high at $8.99. But since Mickey's food had never let me down before, I went for it.
Like I said, the sandwich came with fries, as well as a pickle and a side of Thousand Island dressing. Upon its arrival, the sandwich looked a little small for the price, but there was a good amount of corned beef and sauerkraut packed onto the two little pieces of bread.
The sandwich was good. It wasn't great like Mickey's burgers, but it was good. I'm not so sure if it was $8.99 good. Being my frugal self, I'd like to see the price bumped down a couple of bucks. And even though I said the sandwich seemed kind of small, I ended up taking half of it home, but I attribute this to a partial hangover and a not-quite-ready stomach.
Overall, the meal was decent, but I must say, if you're going to Mickey's for the first time, get a burger. They've also got some pretty good deals on weekdays that make Mickey's a great lunch option.
