I’m biased. I love Mission BBQ. I always get the 2 meat sampler, jalapeño Cheddar sausage and the moist brisket with fries. I have never had a bad meal here. If you never have been here try it once, you’ll be hooked.

My husband and I both got the moist brisket sandwich, he got fries, I got cheesy potatoes. Service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was laid back. The food was delicious. Not over smoky flavor, very tender meat. The fries were great, fresh cut style. I did not make it to my cheesy potatoes but will eat them later. The restaurant itself was clean. Definitely worth the price.

The food is sooooo good, like every single thing we got was so delicious. We tried the majority of their sides and the brisket all of it was divine....and Ms Courtney was so cute - you could tell she really loves her job. We will definitely be back!

My first time being there was one of the best experiences that I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The food, the staff, the manager everybody was fantastic. Those had to be some of the best ribs that I’ve ever had in my life. In addition the pulled pork and brisket was second to none. Definitely going to be back. Thank you!

Today was our first visit and as a Army National gaurd and US Navy Veteran I would have to say I was very pleased, not just with the great atmosphere and decor but how they treat there customers and especially veterans. Now to the food, my wife and I each got the half chicken combo, I got the potato salad and she got the mac n cheese, our daughter got the pulled pork sandwich with Mac n cheese. It was all very good and decent portion. They even gave me a free desert. Each meal averaged about $15 which we expected in this day and time highly recommended this place. We look forward to coming back. Oh and yes they have ample parking, handicap and yes even Veteran parking.

My ribs taste dry even with the mop sauce on it. Collards are great. String beans not so much! Mac n cheese was good. Pulled pork wasn't to bad. Coleslaw was pretty decent And well 70.00 dollars down. And won't be rushing to go back.

The food was really good and affordable.You get a good portion, which I appreciate.I loved all the different sauces to choose from and how things were set up. It's very unique. The staff was kind, and the atmosphere pays so much respect to police, military, firefighters, and other first responders. It's such a wonderful restaurant with a story and a purpose. I will definitely be back!

Love this place. We are very price sensitive these days but this is one of the few places I feel like you get your money's worth. It's tasty, consistent food and with all the sauce options there are so many combos. We dont really buy beef in-store anymore so it's a treat to come here and indulge a bit. Love how it is patriotic/military themed (army family here) but not political.
