We pulled up during what felt like a historic flood but apparently might just be another day in Norfolk. We arrived a bit after lunch hour and were able to order right away. You make your choices at the counter and then take the food to a covered seating area. (Good thing it's covered since it was pouring) I'll start by mentioning that every staff member we encountered was awesome, they all seemed into what they were doing and delivered a great experience. I was also impressed by the operation. They had everything you would need displayed in the seating area. Sauces, utensils, napkins, to go containers, and bags. No need to awkwardly look for anything. Hard to get this far into a review without mentioning the outstanding food. It's some of the best BBQ I've had! We went with the professional platter and added burnt ends. I enjoyed each and every item but the standout to me was the brisket, I've never had a juicier more tender piece of brisket in my life! Ribs were done really well also, the burnt ends had tons of flavor, the sausage was delicious, and the pulled pork and chicken were winners as well. The fries were better than expected, the Mac and cheese was tasty, and the broccoli salad worked really well with all that meat! Truly a feast!

We had to put in the order at the counter first before grabbing a table in one of the shack style sitting areas. They had 7 different styles of meat and 9 different sides. They also sold snack, house made sauces and some merchandises of their brand. I ordered the 2 meat platter with beef brisket and chopped beef. Within few minutes of ordering, they brought the order out to the table. I liked the chopped beef but didn't like the brisket. Tried the burned end also that was good actually. The chicken nuggets I got for my daughter were the best. They were so tasty. The side of corn pudding was also excellent. The shack we sat in was really hot since there was no AC, just a normal fan was blowing air. It was self service so we got the utensils, soda and water. They had ketchup, vinegar, mustard, bbq and white sauces available in the condiment area. Overall it was a decent spot but bbq meat fell short in taste for me.

Great BBQ atmosphere!

Looking for something different than the places close to the hotel on Yelp I stumbled across "Hazed" the name made me stop to see what they offered.

I discovered they were supposed to open a location on Virginia Beach before Covid 19 stalled them... but it's only a stall! Now let's talk about the food the brisket was good and the Hazed sauce made it even better. The Mexican corn was a nice change as well. The smoked wings where pippin hot and the rub used made them more flavorful, the Buffalo Haze sauce took them over the top. Even the Mac and cheese was on point.

Our Yelp Elite manager works there and had told me to come by, so I decided that was the night. I grabbed a glass of Moscato while we chatted, and she convinced me to order their hot honey pepperoni pizza to take home. I had literally just had pizza the night before at another event, so I wasn't planning on getting more, but she insisted I try it. I'm so glad I did. I'm not usually someone who goes for hot honey or anything spicy, but this pizza was incredible. The crust was perfectly cooked, the dough had great texture, and the balance between the sweetness of the honey and the pepperoni was surprisingly addictive. It was cheesy, flavorful, and honestly hard to stop eating. I had planned to take it straight home, but I had to sneak a bite while it was still hot. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and it's such a great neighborhood spot. It made for the perfect stop during a beautiful evening walk. I ended up taking the rest of the pizza home, and it was the perfect dinner while relaxing and winding down for the night. I'll definitely be back, especially now that I know how good their pizza is.

When I say I'm a fan of Mission BBQ I actually mean SUPER FAN. So pitchers to write a negative…read morereview for a chain I really respect and love. This is not my first time at this store, but overall they have been weaker than others, so I kept pocketing reviews. That term "pocketing" is used by review writers that they will not write due to a negative experience, or want to visit again. This is probably my 4th, or 5th visit since they opened over 6 years ago. The business is tucked away in a parking lot off I64 and North Hampton beside Chick Fil A. So you must snake around the lot. Once you arrive there is plenty of parking. I was immediately taken back by the amount of trash in the lot, especially one particular pile that looked freshly dumped. The footprint of this Mission is smaller than others, for that matter smaller than Virginia Beach around 8 miles away. The size seems correct for the amount of business they receive. I entered the store on a weekday around 12:30 PM. I noticed trash on their patio too! My instincts were to turn around and leave. I immediately alerted the manager of the trash. He was busy preparing a major catering order. He did not thank me, he did not utter a word. He rolled his eyes. I specifically came to Mission with it being National Peach Cobbler Day. I absolutely adore Missions peach cobbler. I ordered a pulled port lunch with green beans that comes with corn bread. I added a peach cobbler. I was not asked if military, which they provide a discount. They ALWAYS ask, first time they have not. So ok, no discount today. I respect the mission of the business to support military and first responders. The staff clearly did not want to be there, no smile no enthusiasm when I exclaimed it's National Peach Cobbler Day and yours rocks! This was the first time I've ever encountered staff at Mission like that. They were not busy, so I expected almost immediate turn around. Even when busy the Mission staff are like Ninjas. It comes out in minutes. So I waited. Order up, no smoke by staff #2. Or is it #3 because the manager sure never smiled. I found a seat. The dining room was pretty empty and clean. Dug into my lunch and the pulled pork is a favorite and was great! The green beans dry, the cornbread not edible and worse of all the peach cobbler not as good, the breading was dry. I asked another staff if they had fresh cornbread. Another staff brought out two center pieces, she was friendly but no apologies. It was still dry and not edible. This staff never did another check unfortunately. If she had I would have reported my overall dissatisfaction with the meal. Upon walking out I could not help myself. I began picking up trash on the patio with a nearby can to easily dispose of. What seemed obvious is this. They had more than enough staff. Their resources were being strained because a major catering order that had all hands on deck. It seemed apparent this was the priority. I did notice the like of trash was picked up, but nearby trash let untouched, that's just lazy! Later in the evening I got very sick, of course it's unknown why with having a dinner meal as a possible culprit too. So 50/50 chance its Mission. I will never return to the Norfolk Mission again and fully believe corporate needs to step in to thoroughly look into items I've outlined. I will continue to support Mission BBQ. Again this hurts to write. 1.5 rounding up because I can bring myself to a 1 star. I feel like I've been ripped off from $18+

I frequently go to their Norfolk location and this location seems a little smaller, or perhaps the layout just makes it appear that way. There wasn't a long line when I arrived and once I reached the counter I was greeted. I stopped in around 1pm on a Friday to try their smoked oxtails, which were one of their daily specials. I was glad I arrived when I did, because only a few portions remained. The oxtails were excellent, very tender and well-seasoned. I feel that $35/lb without a side or cornbread included was a little overpriced. In addition to the oxtails I also ordered their Mac and cheese, which was just ok.

The Mac bowl was tasty. I liked the macaroni, it was creamy and the sausage was juicy, spicy, and pretty good. I like the outer casing of the sausage. The BBQ sauce was a little sweet and tangy. The white sauce tasted ok, but was super watery. I wasn't a fan of the consistency of the sauce. The bananamisu is a dessert that's between a banana pudding and tiramisu. It was a good portion, but the flavor was a no for me. It should be one or the other, but not both. The corn pudding was good and went well with the bowl. They have a sauce station where you can fix your own sauces. I like that. I would like to go back to try some other things. But I'd get the bowl and corn pudding again. Check them out!!

My husband's three-meat platter was already $25, and we were charged an additional $4 just to substitute brisket for one of the meats.

I ordered the loaded mac & cheese and was told I could make it a platter by adding two sides for an additional $9. Instead, the sides were rung up separately at $5 each. When I pointed out the discrepancy to the cashier, he acted like he didn't care and made no effort to explain or correct the charge. The barbecue has potential, but between the greasy pulled pork, small portions, unexpected upcharges, and indifferent customer service, the overall experience didn't match the price.

The brisket sando was okay, a little dry so I had to hit it with the spicy sweet bbq sauce (which was just sweet, no spice at all).

I got 3 strips of brisket. The baked beans were good, almost a little too sweet. The broccoli bacon salad was a cold dish, and was tossed in a overly sweet white sauce. Think coleslaw but instead of shredded lettuce, broccoli. I wasn't a fan. The macaroni and cheese was more like a boxed product. However the chicken tenders were super good and I highly recommend those. All that for 48 bucks. I was pleasantly surprised the machine didn't ask for a tip, that was nice.
