Joker Pub & Grill
|
| | | Wonderful yet tiny Burger Dip. | |
|
|
| | | Here Jessica and I are at the Joker Pub in Issaquah. It was a Sunday in November and the Seahawks were playing. Our current residence is without TV so we felt inclined to venture out to a sports bar to root on the 'Hawks as they took on the Philadelphia Eagles. The outcome was a good one! | |
|
|
|
| | | The menu. We were lucky enough to be there when the owner, who we had never met, was there as well. A table of folks next to us was partying it up and the people who we sat by were a very friendly couple originally from Toronto, Canada. | |
|
|
|
| | | They have two dipped sandwich offerings on their menu: a French dip (which is actually a Prime Rib Dip) and also the burger dip. I was feeling more like a burger dip (not sure what it is other than the wholesome, meaty goodness of tasty burger). | |
|
|
|
| | | There's the burger dip and it comes with grilled onions and Swiss. Both wound up being good complements and the jus, as they had claimed, was indeed rich. Good job, Joker! | |
|
|
|
| | | Here it is served. It looks really normal but I laughed out loud at the size of the bread, which is quite small. It is about the size of a hot dog bun, which I found a bit insulting and tricky. The side salad was fine, the jus looked dark. This meal followed a reasonable helping of Coors Light so I was ready. | |

| | | Close-up of the sandwich innards including the grilled onions. I'll have to get a better camera. | |

|
|
| | | Jessica was somewhat disappointed that the salad dressing was oozing all over the fork. I captured the disappointing situation. | |
|
|
|
| | | For this really tasty burger dip that could have been a 5 had the size of the bread not been something from Honey I Shrunk the Kids. | |
|
| So in total, this was a really good Burger dip but its biggest issue was small bread. It made me laugh how small it was. It was like a kid's toy. Very delicious and fine. | |
|
|
| | | When eaten alone without jus was uninteresting but also beefy and good, although tiny. | |
|
|
| | | Was very tiny and pathetic hot dog-like if not smaller in size. LOL! I had never seen a sandwich that small even though the owner made if very clear that it was A THIRD POUND OF BEEF. Maybe true, sir, but the clear appearance of this sandwich is kind of silly. I suggested to him that there be a "regular" and "large" size of it. Perhaps a "hers" and "his" size. The bread was probably two inches wide. Sliders are bigger than this. That said, of the snakelike looks, it was very tasty and looked very high quality as well. Does size matter? | |
|
|
|
| | | Albeit small, was white yet fine. | |
|
|
|
| | | For a conjoined benefit to the sandwich between the Swiss and grilled onion | |
|
|
| | | Was good and added to my overall satisfaction in the meal. | |
|
|
|
| | | Was well was generally additive. | |
|
|
|
|
| | | For tasty, caramelized, good-tasting burger. | |
|
| Was well done, good burger with a very pleasing caramelized flavor. I truly loved the burger taste and texture, whereas Jessica claimed that she didn't love a burger dip. A burger dip may be my singular favorite food. | |
|
|
|
| | | Size of this sandwich was its biggest issue. Had it been a little larger it would maybe even have scored a 5 of 5. | |
|
|
|
|
| | | Was indeed rich and quality as advertised, dark and good, winning a 4 of 5 possible points. | |
|
| For its richness and serious, delicious flavor. | |

| Miss this place in Issaquah. It's a Cougar bar but I've had some good times there. | |
