Check out my vid, which includes my receipt. I got the 3 meat platter with the XL combo, which is two sides and a drink. I also got an extra side. All together: 2 Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, Mac-N-Cheese, baked beans, fries, and a cornbread. $37. The food was good, delicious even. The issue is the serving size. For that price it should be a feast. They skimp on the meat, which kind of misses the point. I was more impressed with the sides. Their sides are legit amazing. But I don’t think I’ll be back. Service and staff was amazing though.

ABOUT THE PORTIONS (All caps so you read it): There are reviews about the portions being small which had me worried. I got the brisket entree, side of fries and a small baked beans side. My total was around $22. All of the portions were plenty of food so I’m not sure what happened to those other reviewers.

Not only the portions, but consider you’re also getting BBQ that doesn’t taste generic. The beans taste smoked. The brisket is thick and perfectly flavored. Plenty of fries. Cornbread is a little dry but still good. The sauces are really good. All of them have unique flavors.

Lastly the service. This is one of the few food places that shows you your order before you leave and makes sure you are good with sauces before you leave. I haven’t ordered from the chilis or Sonny’s down the road in Mount Dora because they often forget our food or mess up the order. Just knowing my food comes correct here is enough to come back on my break for lunch.

Longtime Mission BBQ customer, usually go to the Clermont location, finally able to try this new location near my work. Great people inside, fast service!! (Shout out to the city of MD for your crazy rules that resulted in the opening delay)
Highly recommend…..Had my usual order of Brisket and the side of cheesey potatoes….(Smoked cheeseburger is a must try)

I ordered the brisket sandwich with fries and cole slaw, and enjoyed every bite. When ordering the brisket, they have an option of lean cuts or moist cuts which is nice. Annabelle took my order and she was pleasant, professional and my order came out perfectly. Nina checked on me during the meal to see if I needed any refills and to see how I enjoyed my meal. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with military and first responders decor. There was a line when I entered, and it moved along quickly and efficiently. I will definitely visit again and I highly recommend it, if you like great BBQ.

Place is off to a good start. Most of the “bad” reviews are about not being on schedule for opening up. Not about the food nor the staff. So here is a honest review.

Got the 3 meat sampler ( pulled pork, sliced turkey, and brisket). Also got a brisket sandwich, pint of baked beans, fries, Mac n cheese, collards, and cornbread.

All the food was pretty good and on point for a chain bbq place. Only thing I think could of used work was the fries and maybe the collards. The fries were cold and old. The collards had pieces of tomatoes in it (which we did not like). Meat had good flavor, smoke profile, and was tender. I do admit for the price I felt like the portion for the 3 meat sampler could of been more. The portion for the brisket sandwich was perfect.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was great and clean.

From the minute we walked in we felt welcomed! We were warmly greeted! The staff was terrific at providing recommendations and when we struggled to decide offered a couple samples. The samples of pulled pork and pulled chicken were so moist and delicious we ordered both. Everything we had (tea, pulled pork, pulled chicken, ribs, green beans, cole slaw and fries) were all excellent. Several staff walked by to welcome us and see if we needed anything. Staff was just awesome…so helpful and upbeat. Really can’t say enough great things about this restaurant….clean, professional, delicious….THE BEST! If you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere, great service and awesome food this place won’t disappoint!

Best brisket I’ve ever had in 57 years on this planet period! I ate here on Sunday evening the 15th.

I went back the very next day because I needed to know if I just caught them at the perfect moment with a fresh cut — or if they’re consistently that good.

Update 2/16/26:

Brisket was perfect again. So it’s not luck. The kitchen clearly knows what they’re doing. This is top-tier BBQ and it’s consistent.

Now for the issue.

Front-of-house service needs serious improvement. One staff member in particular lacks timing and awareness. Constant interruptions mid-bite, hovering at the tables without purpose, and not reading when guests actually need something versus when they’re trying to enjoy their meal.

Good service isn’t about constant presence — it’s about awareness and timing. Right now, that’s missing. You can’t train the person you hired. She doesn’t get it. Your born with common sense or your not. She doesn’t have any. Meanwhile hopefullyICE shows up and can remove your trash for you.

The food is elite. The kitchen is dialed in. But the floor service doesn’t match the quality coming out of the smoker.

Fix the service and this place is unstoppable

We had an amazing first visit to Mission BBQ here in Mount Dora. Thank you so much to Miss Peaches. Extra bit of southern hospitality and kindness went a long way. We will definitely be back. Such amazing service.
PS the banana pudding and lemonade as well as the pulled pork is phenomenal.
