★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Atkins · Nov 2025

Update: Don’t sale day old bbq! It was brown ! I certainly know the difference! I want a fresh butt pulled in front of me! I don’t want pork that was reheated from the day before. !!! Please don’t go down hill in quality! Not my favorite place. I don't like how they use veterans as a marketing tool! For bbq , it's a decent commercial style bbq! The ribs were cooked the day before! They were over cooked and somewhat dry! The pork sandwich was good but a tad dry ! I added Tupelo honey bbq sauce ! The fries hot but over cooked! 19 dollars for a salad with chicken ! They run the bill up big time ! Over $47 ! They thank me for being a veteran but did not give me a discount ! This place is a scam ! I will be ready next time ! They always have a tribute for veterans at noon! Their flag is a scree

We stopped by to celebrate Valentine's Day thinking the place would be packed but there were only a few other customers. We had our pick of seats and enjoyed the quieter atmosphere. Our food was delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Greg Patterson · Nov 2025

Great environment. Food tasted great. Wife and sons first time there. My son is a picky eater and ate everything on his plate. Me and the wife got brisket. Cooked just right. We tried all the sauces on the table. Will definitely be going back.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 La Mar R. · Nov 2025

Never again. I spent almost $40 and received 2 1/2 tiny, thinly sliced pieces of turkey, 1 link cut into 4 pieces, and 4 small pieces of brisket. I also received 3 small servings of different sides and a bottled water. For $40, you should be able to feed at least two people. You can barely feed yourself with this!!!

Fantastic Experience at Mission BBQ! Great service from the moment we walked in—friendly and efficient staff who really made us feel welcome. The smoked turkey was outstanding—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Brisket was equally impressive, cooked perfectly with that classic smoky taste. The location is convenient and well-kept, making the whole visit smooth and enjoyable. Definitely a 5-star experience!
