We met some relatives that were visiting Boulder for the day,
so we decided to meet at Southern Sun pub and brewery in Boulder. When we arrived at about 1 o'clock the patio on
the way in looked pretty much full and there were a decent amount of people
still in inside. Once we were seated they
let you sit wherever you want and we had time to chat and look over the menu although
I already looked online and kind of had an idea of what I wanted. Eventually when they were ready to take our orders
I had it down to two choices the Gooney bird or the junk burger, but when it
was my turn to order I decided on the Gooney bird ($8.50). Dad decided on the
junk burger ($9.95) and mom just got the cheeseburger ($8.00) I'm not hundred
percent sure what everyone else got but one cousin did get the Gooney bird and another
cousin had a burrito. Also some of the group tried some of their beers as well.
When they took our orders they wanted a name with each order, but after a while
when they eventually brought the food out they didn't say anything about names
just brought it out by what it was. So once everyone got their food
I started
in on my sandwich which was a bit messy mostly because the filling was bigger
than the baguette which is what our cousin noticed as well. This was basically
like a cheesesteak but with turkey instead and was topped with sautéed
mushrooms and onions which were excellent in it, but I thought could've used a
bit more of them and this was topped with melted Swiss cheese and there was a
good roasted garlic mayonnaise on the bread but it seemed like there might not
of been enough in some places. And on top of this on the other side of the baguette
was lettuce tomato and onion this was a nice addition to the sandwich, but I
had issues and had to fight the lettuce when I was trying to eat it. With my
sandwich I substituted the French fries for a dollar extra (the sandwich
normally comes with corn chips). I thought the fries were pretty good but not
my favorite fries I've ever had but mom and dad both had him and thought they
were really good.
Dad's junk burger which I almost decided to order had
basically everything the Gooney bird had on it but with bacon as well and your
choice of cheese he really enjoyed this a lot and thought it was one of the
better burgers he’s had anywhere. Overall
I think just about everybody enjoyed their lunch and there weren’t many
complaints and we had a nice meal and got to catch up. Once we were done eating
the place had cleared out a little bit, but it still appeared like the patio
was still quite full. I enjoyed my
sandwich quite a bit, but after how my dad talked about the burger and how it
looked I am looking forward to returning and trying one of those.
