Great food and great service. Good for families. I love the variety of sauces. It’s fun looking at all the pictures and memorabilia on the walls. Definitely a great homage to our brave service members and first responders. You feel patriotic just walking in this place.

I love this franchise. Every single time I come here every worker is nice, informative, and helpful. Food is always fresh and to my liking. Service is quick. And the atmosphere is always welcoming. Thank you

I love this location. Service is excellent. We wrote a card to the troops as well. I did enjoy that option while we sat inside and ate. Loved my brisket and the new cheesy baked potatoes. If you don’t want fast food this is the place to go for a home cooked meal. Thank you!

My very first time at mission bbq and I couldn’t be more impressed. For it to be my first time I was able to sample most things on the menu to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. The sauce options were delicious along side the free refills. Thank you for the amazing service

Food was amazing Megan was an excellent floor manager at this location but one worker I would think is a manager named Doug Kept on touching his and only female colleagues just to grab something that he didn’t need to touch anyone for gave me the urk. If someone could look into that that is workplace harassment especially if it’s unwarranted.

Great food, great service, great value. My wife can’t have dairy or gluten, but Mission provides plenty of options for her and is very careful about avoiding cross contamination.

Why I don’t think we can go here any longer.
To be clear, we like the food from this chain of restaurants, enjoy the overall theme, and have been to many of them over time, but the overall pricing and quality is just not there any longer. The staff has always been polite and friendly here at this location, so that’s not the core issue for this review.
Costs. Like many restaurants, prices have steadily gone up. This is a real problem for Mission BBQ though because they were already at the high end for their level of service. The issue now is that the costs to go to this location are now consistently as high or higher than taking our family to a sit down table service restaurants, which is not what this is. This is slightly higher scale counter service, and this pricing for us includes a ‘cheaper’ kids meal and some folks only ordering side items vs full meals at these other locations. This has generally been for a better quality than you get at the fast food burger place down the street, but at current levels this is a 40%-50% premium over other counter serve restaurants, and the quality bump no longer justifies such an increase, but more on that below.
Quality. As stated above, we generally do like the food here, but it’s taken a consistent turn downward, and not just on one occasion unfortunately. Personally, I order the lean brisket as my main item when I go, and almost every time over several months it’s had some sort of issues. Most of the time now, it’s a serving that is upwards of 1/3 pure fat and not meat (again this is for the requested lean offering). In this most recent visit (pictured), it was nearly half meat so charred and physically hardened that the plastic knife would not even cut it. Nothing in the bottom of the photo was edible with the non-charred sections there being almost plastic in consistency. That’s completely ridiculous for an item that runs for almost $15 by itself before you even add a side or drink, and it’s been consistently 1/3 or more of the item not edible which is difficult to fathom with one of the pricier menu items. I fully acknowledge that I did not take it back up to the counter, but at that point I was pretty appalled because in order for that to get served to us, the cook preparing it had to think that was OK, and the person who serves it at the counter think it was fine, and the overseeing management that are constantly present letting it go. Any one of these individuals should absolutely have stopped that sort of quality from ever reaching a customer but no one did, which says everything sadly.
So, we’ll hope that this is limited to the one location here and we’ll try other locations before walking away entirely, but unless they as a chain take a real re-look at their cost/quality model, it’s going to be a hard sell to recommend coming back to others.

The service was great. They were very patient while my husband debated on what he wanted to order. The food was hot and the portions, for what we paid, was well worth it.

What a great meal we had at Mission BBQ. I had the pulled pork, others had brisket, ribs, chicken, and turkey. We had potatoes, fries, beans and corn bread for our sides. Everything was cooked perfectly. The various sauces provided on the tables allows you to make it your way. Our favorite was the Smoky BBQ.

I pride myself on having Mission BBQ from as many locations as possible, beginning with their original location. This restaurant has become a normal part of my families weekend tradition. The staff, the food, the service and the atmosphere are always on top.
