The restaurant is clean and decorated. The hostess is personable and very professional. The food is AMAZING! I tried a Deep South classic, chitterlings with rice and gravy and mac and cheese.

The best part of my visit, though, was sharing lunch with one of my clients who has become a dear friend. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and wonderful company made for the perfect afternoon.

I like how in the dining area, they put covers over the overhead lights so it isn't super bright. AND THE DRINKS ARE SOOOOOOO GOOD. First time we went, we overheard the waitress say she didn't want to serve us, she was exhausted. Rightfully so, she was the only server. We held nothing against the server, we were peeved with the owner. The woman with the light hair. Took what felt like forever to even get drinks. They were also out of a lot of food... which isn't necessarily a bad thing... but the items I wanted were no longer available so I just ordered the fried green tomatoes. They were fine, they just needed more sauce and a bit more seasoning in the breading! The poor server was just miserable while we were there, and the owner was just kinda walking around telling everyone what needed to be done, not quite helping, more so micro managing. We ended up tipping the poor girl $35. I hope she got to keep it all. Fast forward to this week. We tried it out again. It was a bit warm. We had been Instructed that they had family visiting and if it got too loud to let her know. The noise wasn't the issue at all. When we sat down we saw that it was 76° inside! We wanted to eat though, so we tried to tough it out. There was only one waiter and then another girl helping him serve the food. Again, and I don't know how it happened again, the boy had said to the lady he didn't want to serve us, there was too much going on. She had told him he was going to serve us, strike 1. We ordered all of our food at once to make the poor kid's life a bit easier. We didn't get drinks until about 20 minutes after sitting down. (The pineapple drink bangs btw). And we were literally sitting there DRIPPING sweat. Even the owner had beads of sweat alllll over her face. We ended up asking for our order to go. And my husband ordered his sandwich without Cole slaw. We said that literally a COUPLE of minutes after we ordered. The food magically appeared, and they had US package it all up. And my husband couldn't even tell the owner that he asked for no Cole slaw, but she kept talking over him. And she ended up being the "polite" kind of rude after we asked for our food to go. We weren't angry, we were just hot. But looking back on the bigger picture, it definitely angry. Especially for the young people they have serving. The poor server was so stressed so again, I do not blame the servers. We tipped that bot $25 and again, I hope he gets it ALL. I 100% put the blame on the owners. This place should be a food truck... not a restaurant. The bad reviews didn't make sense to me.... Until they did.

The pork belly was like chewing through rubber. The wagyu was way too cheap to be wagyu ($7.50? Come onnn). The sweet potato taco was pretty good though. So, one third of my meal was good. I also waited at the front of the restaurant for quite a bit before anyone even knew I was there. You need a bell or something. Decent fare but, nothing I'd recommend.

That being said it's not only the food that makes Mission barbecue great, it's people like "Lena." The warmest most welcoming woman we could've asked for help. She kindly and enthusiastically greeted us upon walking in and asked how our day had been. Lena my hat is off to you, you angel! We got to chat with the cooks and her while they prepared our meal. It's was good conversation asking what everyone's favorite dish was. Some food is good for your body, some food is good for your soul. Don't hesitate any longer and go get some of this amazing pulled pork and other smoked meats, and enjoy being treated right while you're doing it. I can not thank Lena enough for making my day and hooking a girl up with that cornbread, ~the kind of hook-up that restores hope for humanity~ kind of hooked us up. 12/10 would recommend to anyone who feels the need to eat so much barbecue and cornbread that they're in a bliss of food coma. Love you guys!! Keep doing exactly what you are doing and keep your head high! Can't wait to come back and get more!

The side of fries was expensive and there weren't many fries included. They weren't anything special, and seemed old and that they'd been sitting under a warmer. The chicken and baby back ribs were both tender but lacked flavor. The half chicken was pretty small. The ribs were fine but needed sauce. The greens were good. I'm rating a 3 because the meat was tender even though it lacked flavor and because the greens were good. Overall, I wouldn't recommend and wouldn't go back.

When we came in to sit down in a booth, a dog popped up on the seat behind us. We changed booths and the dog's owner said she was sorry. We ordered our food and as we were eating we saw the dog eating bacon right off the table. Unbelievable and no one seemed think it was a problem. I have always been under the impression that dogs are not allowed in restaurants unless they are service animals. But service animals are not supposed to be eating off the table. They should be under the table. This one definitely was not a service dog--no identification at all. Just a fluffy, white dog. Again, sorry to say that we will never return.

But I decided I would just even it out at 4 stars. 5 stars for the team who took the cake to their fridge and put many many many candles on it and brought it out for us! The specific waitress we had was very kind but she seemed very overwhelmed and wasn't the most attentive with water or clearing plates...perhaps she was new because the restaurant wasn't even busy. The food wow I hated it so bad. If you like bland food, no seasoning, no flavor, cold fries you'll like their fish n chips. I added so much salt and ketchup and dipped it heavily in the tartar sauce and it still was bland. Another friend didn't like her Caesar salad (very anchovy heavy. I tried it and thought it was good it just didn't taste anything like a Caesar salad lol.) My sister liked her shrimp tacos. And my hush puppies were edible.
