Really liked the taste of the barbecue, as I ordered the two meat sampler. It was quite delicious and the atmosphere is great in there. Staff was very friendly and the service was as you would want. Food was served quickly and hot. I wish the prices were a little more affordable as I paid right at $25 for the two meat sampler and I only had a water to drink, so a drink was not part of the cost. Other than the pricing, the food was really very good.

Great BBQ and service. Make sure to fo there at noon for the national anthem. You know you are supporting the veterans by eating here. Try their brisket, very juicy and tasty. Mac and cheese are great. Their new loaded baked potato is huge and awesome.

We were talking at dinner with some of the guys from church, and we agreed we’ve never had a bad meal here … Everything has been on point, always. Love the sausages, the brisket, and the NC-style pulled pork sandwich. I deeply admire them for their commitment to our veterans and first responders, and for being excellent hosts. I especially appreciated Kiera this evening, for the delicious bread pudding on the house! Thank you, Kiera!

As a girl that’s lived on the Alabama/ Georgia line, this is the closest we’ve found to back home! So good! Love the food & love the mission!

Great experience each time! We are always greeted. Love the concept and the love for our country. Alabama sauce is delicious and a special request. Brisket is the go-to many times. Turkey and pulled pork are great, too. Skip on green beans, great cornbread, and cheesy potatoes.

This was the first Mission BBQ we have visited and it won’t be the last. The food was so good that I didn’t even realize it is a chain restaurant. The food was great, the service excellent, and the “mission” inspiring.
My wife, young son, and myself were all able to get lunch for about $35. The food was ready before we could even get our drinks! I got the pulled chicken, my wife the pulled pork, and my son the extra cheesy mac-and-cheese. The fries were some of the best fries I’ve ever had. Everybody dug right in and the food was gone quick! I loved having the different BBQ sauces at the table to be able to try and experiment with. A young man came around to take trays and offer samples of different menu items several times during our meal. Add all of that to the support for military, police, fire fighters, EMTs, and all other first responders and you have one great restaurant.

I have loved Mission BBQ from the minute they opened. However, I love it even more now that Patrick is a staff member. Patrick is wonderful and always greets you with a smile. He exudes what great customer service looks like. He is knowledgeable about the food which is always helpful because are so many delicious options.

This place is outstanding from start to finish!
I placed a catering order for 15 guys, and they came in $100 cheaper than Bone BBQ. They also included more at that price, such as cutlery, plates, tongs, napkins, all meats including brisket, pulled chicken, and pulled pork, as well as extra slider rolls and a huge tray of cookies and brownies. These were all things that Bone BBQ did not include (at least not unless you were willing to pay extra).
Moreover, the food was delicious! It was also packaged perfectly and ready on time. One of the employees even helped me load my car.
Excellent experience, and I cannot thank you enough! I’ll be back for sure!

I’m from south Louisiana and I know food!! Ask for William when you visit, you won’t be disappointed! He loves his job and it shows.

I’d like to sincerely thank the team at Mission BBQ Gainesville for an exceptional catering experience. The food and service were outstanding — every item was cooked to perfection, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. There was more than enough to go around, and everyone appreciated having some to take home afterward.
Mission BBQ catered my father’s funeral reception. He was a proud three-war veteran who deeply loved great American BBQ, and your team truly honored that spirit. Thank you for your professionalism, care, and dedication to serving incredible food with heart.❤️ ️
