Mission BBQ is so much more than a place to grab delicious barbecue. Every visit reminds us what…read moreexceptional customer service and genuine kindness look like. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and caring, but Will, the manager, truly sets the tone. It's obvious he deeply cares about his community, his customers, and his team. His leadership creates an atmosphere that makes people feel valued the moment they walk through the door. In fact, after one visit, my 11-year-old said, "When I grow up, I hope I can work for someone like Will because he's so kind." That says everything. One of the employees, Ryleigh, always remembers our family. She greets us by name and makes my kids feel recognized and special every single time. Those little moments leave a lasting impression. Mission BBQ isn't just a restaurant. It's a place that honors our military, invests in people, and creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels like they matter. The outstanding food is just the icing on the cake. We always leave with full stomachs and full hearts. Highly recommend!

The cornbread tasted like my mom used to make A little crumbly, a little sweet, Wish I'd thought about ordering some for home! The best part about Mission is Will and his staff without exception, everyone was pleasant and had something nice to say. Chris, a staff member, brought us a sample of their new sausage (not too spicy, just really good!) But as good as the food is, the best part is the staff and service. They are true patriots. Not celebrating one party or another, but our country and military. It was so uplifting to hear positive comments when talking politics! He doesn't listen and reply "Thanks for your service" Instead "We'll remember your ,(and your families!) Sacrifices and we're glad you're home" The photos on the walls reminded me of all of the soldiers who put everything on the line because they knew they KNEW fighting for us all; fighting for our freedoms and everything our country stands for for. We'll be back and back! Thank you!

I got the beans, OK but had one tiny puce of brisket, and collard greens,which had one tiny piece of brisket on it and a off flavor. I guess when I was told both had brisket I expected a little more to be used, but the was a half inch square piece in both. The waitress did not lie but I was misinformed. Service was a little slow but not bad for one waitresses and a dozen tables. The title did have bar in it and for standard varaitey it was OK. Biurbon selection, always good with ribs was a little slim though.

The service is top notch and the lemonade is some of the best I've ever had. Potato salad is very good also. The BBQ at Big Ken's reminds me of a BBQ restaurant that was on Houston Whittier on Detroits east side. The name of the restaurant was Milts BBQ. Keep up the good work BigKen.

We live in Clinton twp & I haven't heard of big Ken's before. About a week ago, I found them on…read moreanother app I use, so I ordered 2 "surprise bags" which say they come with a protein & the rest is a surprise. My husband picked it up, so I didn't get to check the place out, but he said it was an easier pickup despite how busy they were! Both bags had half a smoked chicken with coleslaw & corn along with an order of (I believe) rib tips. 1 bag had a burger & the other had a sausage. I'm super picky about chicken because it is so dry at most places. Not this chicken! It was flavorful & so juicy! The rib tips were a little dry but I don't typically order them so I'm not sure if that's normal or not for that part of the meat. We also absolutely LOVED the bbq sauce that was on the chicken & rib tips!! I'm not totally sure but we both felt that it tastes homemade! I did try the coleslaw but I wasn't a big fan & I did have to add salt & pepper to the corn. The sausage was delicious!! The burger was good, but it was very thick & personally I prefer thinner patties like a smashburger, but that's just my own preference. I would absolutely come back to try more of their food!

My husband really wanted some Famous Dave's for his birthday today. We got a babysitter and came on a weekend. They told us about 25-30 minute wait but it was actually much faster. Our server was super nice. She got drinks and our order put in right away. The food was delicious. The burger was so tasty. The ranch is soooo good with the fries too. My husband got a full rack of ribs which comes with TWO Sides and a corn muffin. I also ordered a corn muffin and they are like $1.79 I believe. He got the mac this time and he loved the jalapenos. Overall, this is a really nice spot. It is clean inside and not too loud. There is long waits on the weekend so be prepared.

Ordering online was easy, and I liked that they have a separate entrance for takeout, so you can grab your food and go. I did have to wait about 15 extra minutes past the pickup time, and when I first walked in, there was a bit of confusion since no one was at the register or gave any direction. That said, once helped, the service was good, the staff made sure I had everything I needed. Overall, solid food and a reliable BBQ spot that's been around for a long time.

This last year or so things have changed…read more The bbq sauce (321) is so watery in consistency, it was never a super thick sauce but now it just runs everywhere. The ribs I stopped ordering as they were dry and were not meaty(Shelby) . I typically would order the side (4 bones?) but after sending them back two times to get fresh ribs I just stopped ordering them. The coleslaw has changed so much I could care less if I get it anymore. Used to be my fav coleslaw out there. If the burnt ends order gets any smaller they may as well just serve it rolled up in a piece of foil. The last 4 times the two of us about fought over the order. We then ordered two orders to go. Will not do that again $$$. In fact we just learned to make our own that we enjoy just as much. The Mickey just is not that good anymore. The sauces are just too runny. Our other fave the nachos are yummy although the amount of cheese and chicken can vary. Hope they take a good long look and make a few adjustments. One can only hope. This experience happens even at the Shelby location. This is a to go location decor wise.
