★★★★★ 5.0 Martin Espinosa · Feb 2026

Mission BBQ absolutely lived up to its name. The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. My family ordered the ribs and the sampler, and everything came out hot, flavorful, and cooked just right. I went with the pulled pork North Carolina style, and it was hands-down some of the best I’ve had. So good that I went back a second time during the same trip. That alone should say plenty. Beyond the food, the military and first responder theme really sets this place apart. The walls are filled with service memorabilia, photos, and tributes that show real respect, not gimmicks. You can tell this place is built around appreciation, not just branding. As someone with a strong connection to military service, that meant a lot. The restaurant itself is clean, well

★★★★★ 5.0 Frank Ramsey · Nov 2025

As a veteran I always enjoy Mission BBQ with all the photos of our heros. However the food is awesome and the portions are surprisingly large. Customer service is top shelf here with the managers leading the way. In my opinion the best restaurants always have a manager on the floor not hiding in the office.

Been eating MISSIONS BBQ since 2017, when I first enlisted. I was so excited when I found they had a restaurant in the Great Lakes area. Love this place and the food and the fact they have Big Red. I eat here as often as I can.

This is truly one of our most treasured BBQ destinations. The service exceeds expectations and the food is bursting with incredible flavors. This place is family friendly. Brian, Kar and Joe, make this place an incredible experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Carli Kokott · Mar 2026

Absolutely amazing experience at Mission BBQ! The food was incredible. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. You can tell they really care about quality. The staff and overall atmosphere made it even better. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Rose, the manager, truly went above and beyond. She was so kind and personable, and she gave my boyfriend and I free cheesecake which completely made our night. That level of customer service is rare and so appreciated. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
