The food is good, the people are friendly and we respect their support of the military and their patriotism. We were having about 50 people for the 4th and had them provide the meat, buns, & sides. Some of the buns had small spots of mold on them. We drove back to the store, they were very gracious, they replaced the buns and gave us a free desert. Returning home we were preparing set out the meat we had ordered and became concerned that we did not order enough. But when we weighed the pans, the meat was 2 lbs. short. read more

Annapolis location ... Amazing. From walking in, to interacting with employees, to eating, and even upon leaving ... hospitality galore. I am already planning my trip back. We're visiting from Oregon and are automatically life-long patrons! Daphne was so patient and kind. She explained all our options and kept a giant smile on her face as we stumbled through our order. She was genuinely happy to hear that we enjoyed everything. You have a cert special explore in that young woman Charlie was like a hot fudge Sunday on top of a perfect five course meal. So friendly. Also very kind. He offered to get us refills. To time to ask us about our meal, day, and travel plans. I thought for sure he was the manager. Maybe he should be. Maybe Mission BBQ should fly him out to Oregon to open his own store ... please? read more

Mission BBQ - Daphne ... hostess extraordinaire - Barbeque Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I had the best customer service in a long time here. They greeted me, offered me water, very attentive while I waited. Food was on point. The cherry on top was them going to whole foods to buy cupcakes for our birthday celebration because I had bought the wrong kind and my niece couldn't eat them because of her allergies. Definitely patronize this restaurant for an awesome experience. read more

Never going back. They sweep their rugs while inside and dirt and debris goes flying all through the air, getting into people's drinking cups, and on and in everything. Plus, you get to breath it while eating your ribs. When I said to the manager, "This is not the way to sweep a rub on the inside" the manager sided with the employee, who was a curly red head teen boy, who clearly didn't want to hear anything I was saying about that. He was beating the rugs with the broom so hard, his broom went above his own head. So, meanwhile, I stopped eating my food to come back in and coach. So now, I 'm asking for the manager;- food in hand. He was a Spanish guy, who said he was the manager. This guy didn't care and tried to tell me how dust doesn't travel through the air that way. We had a lot of pollen this year. It's all over this kid beating it up in the air. I suggested, take those big pieces of carpet outside if he's going to beat them like that. He just gave me a DUHH look. They have food exposed in the back, a they pull meat out and cut it, they fryer is open and all of that dirt from the rugs - stuff off people's shoes, stuff from people's oses went flying in the air. There is no denying that. read more

Placed an order online for pick up and my order wasn't ready when I arrived. But it's ok- service was good, the cashier was super friendly so that made up for my order not being ready. lol My order consisted of Salmon with a Sadie of potato salad, green beans, baked beans, macaron and cheese and potato salad. My only complaint was everything was a bit on the salty side :/ However my Arnold Palmer was delicious! I would come here again- and with future orders would see if I'm able to take away some of the seasonings used for the Salmon...just a little. For a Friday night the place was pretty busy with families seated all around enjoying some good ol BBQ. Happy Yelping! read more

Friendly and courteous staff, all foods are delicious. Spotless tables, very well maintained.

If you are looking for catering you cannot loose by choosing Mission BBQ. This is some of the best BBQ. My favorite is the pulled chicken and the Mac and Cheese. My friends loved the pulled pork and pulled beef. It is very easy to order catering from Mission. We just called in and picked up when we requested. This was the easiest. read more

Mission BBQ - Salad - Barbeque Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Outstanding customer service by Coleman F. he set the bar for excellence. It was my first time here and I'll be back again.

The minute you walk into the door, you're greeted by a "Hi folks!" The atmosphere is calm, laidback, and friendly. Special shout out to the guy who bags the food here. He always chats with me and asks me if I have any weekend plans. Our interactions are genuine and I always appreciate it! Everyone looks like they know what they're doing and that they're at least moderately pleased to be there. Of course, the food is always wonderful too. It's always a good time to order here. read more

Amazing BBQ and the fact that the decor revolves around military and first responders will keep me coming back. The brisket sandwich is legit and the smoked turkey sandwich was also amazing. Highly recommend! read more

This was our first time trying Mission BBQ and we were not disappointed! This is one of the better bbq chains out there. The cashier who helped us (taller blonde lady) was very friendly and explained the menu for us since it was our first time. It was hard choosing which meats to get, and this place also gives samples to help you decide--WHAT. I sampled the turkey (which surprisingly had a little kick to the skin) but I wound up getting a sampler with the brisket and pulled pork, plus the black plate special, which is smoked ribeye. The smoked ribeye was SO delicious, even on its own without any sauces. Very, very good. The brisket was succulent and fall apart tender, while the pulled pork was good but a little dry. The collard greens were tasty with a nice kick, and the macaroni and cheese was tasty as well. The cornbread was alright, nothing special. My husband got a 3 meat sampler with brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken. The chicken was nice and moist. He got the potato salad (which he raved about) and the baked beans which were also super tasty. There are 6 different sauces at the table, not including the NC vinegar (great on the pulled pork). My favorite was by far the Smoky Mountain sauce, sooooo good. I would buy it if they're selling it! They gave us a free dessert as well!!! That was pretty cool. Maybe it's because I'm pregnant, lol. And a card for one free sandwich. Everyone who interacted with us at this restaurant displayed excellent customer service. I would definitely return. I was given Rylee Turner's card, who is the manager. Thank you to everyone at Mission BBQ on Somerville Road for the excellent food and service...we will definitely be back! read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket, pulled pork, collard greens, mac n cheese, smoked ribeye, butterscotch caramel treat - Barbeque Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Delicious. This is the best Mission BBQ I've had so far, and the first time I had Mission BBQ I also thought it was delicious. But THIS specific location in Annapolis is definitely the bee's knees . Fast service, like, we were in and out but the food was fresh hot fresh. Personally I think the food is delicious because it's got great energy going on inside. I got the 2 Meat Sampler--Brisket (lean) & Pulled Pork. The Brisket slices were about a half inch thick in some , tender, perfectly seasoned and meaty with a thin try delicious bark. Pulled pork was perfectly seasoned wonderfully tender and they gave me a nice heap of it. Honesty the portion size in and of itself despite it not being a meal was perfect. The cornbread absolutely delicious. Definitely my second favourite restaurant cornbread. It was a nice THICC piece, dense but light and was basically the most corn tasting bread I've had before. Most of the time it's butter or sugar but this, this was yummy. The giant Mac and Cheese my husband got was so delicious that I don't actually remember if he got food or if he ate the Mac n Cheese for for the next 3 days he ate leftovers of it and while it's not like it is fresh, it definitely reheats like homemade leftovers and is just as delicious as well. I was too concerned with how delicious my meal was and didn't get a pick of the Mac and cheese, but I'll go back and get another one for good measure. read more

Mission BBQ ranch is my FAVORITE with pizza. I can't eat my pizza without it. I came in to get 2 bottles of their ranch and I expressed how much I love it. Cam was so nice and excited to hear that I loved it so much, since they had to make it, he gave me a free drink while I waited. AMAZING!!! Will ALWAYS come back!!! read more

Consistently good bbq and southern-style sides. The desserts are a particular favorite.

Excellent service and excellent food! From the first "hi folks" to the last "thanks for coming" I felt welcome and appreciated. My server, Daphne, was a breath of fresh air. She was knowledgeable and friendly, and clearly enjoying her job and her colleagues. 100% will be returning! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Awesome. Great food and service. The strawberry shortcake is pretty good also. The service is very fast.

I was really disappointed this Christmas. I always do a catering order from Mission for over 4 years. The collard greens had a lot of stems and order pull chicken for the children. Chicken had a lot of little chip bones. This could be very dangerous and scraped some colin. Please don't let the quality of food go down. read more

Brought my Mother here for Veterans Day. ALL OF THE STAFF WERE SUPER FRIENDLY. Everyone that we encountered. Came on a Wednesday around 1230p and the place was pretty busy. Not a lot of socially distanced space to stand and wait for your food. Tables are spaced out however for dining in. Parking lot outside is shared with other businesses but not too crowded on finding a spot. My Mother said her pulled pork sandwich was good. Was ready less than 5 minutes after ordering at walk-in. read more

So great! Workers were amazing! Especially Daphne and Charlie food was delicious and the atmosphere was great!

Where else can you get a BBQ turkey sandwich with gobs of delicious real turkey breast for ten bucks? Not a fan of chain restaurants in general but this is an exception. Also delicious shrimp. read more

Bottom Line: Consistently tasty barbecue and friendly service. I am hooked on Mission BBQ! My go to menu items are either the stack of sliced turkey or the pile of pulled chicken. Then from there I like to either get a side salad with Italian dressing or indulge in their french fries. In fact, Mission BBQ's french fries are my favorite fries so it can be hard for me to resist their salt and peppery goodness. Another favorite of mine at Mission BBQ is their Bay-B-Que sauce. I really appreciate that they have six different sauces to choose from and its fun trying the different flavors. Aside from the Old Bay inspired Bay-B-Q, I like to mix in a little sweetness from the Memphis Belle sauce. While Mission BBQ offers Pepsi fountain sodas, iced tea, lemonade and specialty bottled drinks, I sure wish they had diet Coke! Service here is always friendly from the cashiers to the people who are keeping an eye on the restaurant. read more

I was there last week. This is my husband's favorite BBQ chain restaurant and we have one near our house that we frequent. There's something about your location. Everyone was so friendly and I really do mean SOO FRIENDLY. The food was delicious as always but the atmosphere there really was amazing. I love the patio seating outside there's ample space to enjoy gorgeous weather. Keep up the good work here. read more

Mission BBQ - ribs, green beans, corn, and mustard - Barbeque Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Hello. I usually frequent the Greenbelt, MD location (outstanding), however I was in the Annapolis area and decided to stop in for my favorite ribs (whole rack), brisket (moist) and steak. I ordered to-go and was prepared for me and my family to feast, I got home (30 mins) and the steak was tan-ish, bland, and flavorless. I tried to doctor it up but it was missing all the flavor, smokiness, and grilled taste. Everyone tasted a small piece (family of 5) and we ended up trashing it. Very disappointed! Then we go to the ribs, which were delicious but the 6 Smokey Mountain sauces were like jelly when we opened it. Very weird and the consistency made us just throw them away. Gross! I've never had these issues before but I'll never go to this location again. I'm an army veteran so I love Mission BBQ. What a pure disappointment. read more

If you have not been here you need to be. The food is amazing, the staff is top notch, get here at noon if you can!!! You will not be disappointed. Thank you for your hospitality, and treating our HEROS with respect. read more

---COVID UPDATE--- We have ordered takeout twice from this location and are truly Mission BBQ converts. It's super easy to order by phone, and their service is consistently stellar. They'll answer any questions you have and give recommendations. When you go to pick up your order, they double check your order and they're just super nice about it. My husband loves their BBQ beans and has been trying to recreate them in our kitchen, with little success. Their food is also really good. If you join their email list, you get coupons for a free sandwich on your birthday. Looking forward to dining here more often. read more

Wowsa. Somehow I had missed that Mission BBW is nearby now. I stopped for lunch today. It was fairly early, so folks were coming in & out, but it was not too crowded. The menu offers lots of options. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich (a huge portion). Sides are a la carte, and the cold slaw was excellent. They have all the sauces right at the table: six choices plus NC vinegar. I tried the Tupelo honey heat sauce, which was a good choice. There are nice indoor & outdoor seating options. Inside, they have booths, hightops, bench type tables, and two tops. Outside, they have a good sized area with picnic tables & umbrellas. The staff at this place was extremely friendly and helpful. They had someone circulating around the dining area checking to be sure everyone was satisfied. She even picked up my tray when I finished. The staff really goes above and beyond to make it a nice experience. Great job. read more

Brisket was very good, so was the pulled pork. Both could've used more smoke flavor. Food was good, propaganda was better.

Mission BBQ is a pretty consistent establishment. The quality of their food (chicken, pulled meats, salmon, and brisket) is always good and the customer service is generally outstanding. The ribs aren't memorable to me but the selection of BBQ sauces help greatly. My favorite is the Sweet Heat followed by the Memphis Belle. Corn bread is good and a bit on the sweet side; green beans tasty with a little spice/heat; cheesey potatoes are tasty; Mac and Cheese is okay; baked beans are sweet and a bit tangy but they are okay. They have monthly black plate specials and my favorites are the smoked meatloaf (nice and firm with awesome flavor); fried chicken (yes, and it's amazing when they offer it); and the smoked ribeye. Overall, I always enjoy my food from Mission BBQ and it reheats extremely well. read more

I have been to many Mission BBQ locations and they are all very consistent. The pulled pork is fantastic, the brisket is fantastic. I like their chicken as well but I seem to always go back to the pork and brisket. Their fries are excellent and the portions quite large. It is a great value in my opinion because good barbecue is not cheap to make. They have a large selection of sauces from different BBQ regions around the USA. Service is excellent(you pick up the food when you are called and seat yourself. Never had a bad meal at Mission. Great BBQ. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Food good. Service great. When they first opened here, I really wanted the Mac and cheese for a side. The pics of the Mac and cheese looked amazing. I ordered a meal with the Mac and cheese. It was amazing until I had a hair in my mouth. Okay, never ordering Mac and cheese again because it was so gross. Now, years later, a very satisfied customer and I just stayed away from the Mac and cheese. I ordered just baby backs. They were amazing as usual until I had just 2 ribs left. Not again, on the ribs, how? A long brown hair was stuck between my teeth. It was so gross I threw up. Went back the next day and they made it right, but never going back to this location again. Unfortunately I may never go back to any location. The thought of hair in my food cannot be forgotten. This stinks because I love the ribs. read more
