    Sweet tea
    Maddie L.

    Solid bbq, we got the 3 meat sampler with pulled pork, brisket, and sausage. Sides of Mac and cheese plus baked beans. Over all the meats were great and perfectly cooked, only thing we wish we had was a sweet bbq sauce but the other options were still good. Quick and friendly service with a nice dining area, we definitely enjoyed the dinner.

    You will never get bored coming into a mission barbecue because they have so much memorabilia on the walls that I don't think you can see it all in one visit. This is a very patriotic restaurant that gives homage to our service workers of police fire and military. The service is always outstanding. Whenever you go to the register and order your food, they are very accommodating and helpful with your choices. You can't be good southern barbecue and this is one of my favorite places to eat. I've not had any complaints anytime I've been here.

    Stopped by with my little brother since I always hear about mission bbq. The people working were so helpful and friendly. The food is priced pretty reasonably. The portions were generous. The cornbread was moist and tasty. The bbq is pretty good too. The sweet potatoes were good, but we were less then enthused by the super seasonal baked cheesy potatoes. They were so similar to a lot of other stuff available, so they were just okay. I personally like the rustic feel of the place, and I always like to support other vets and veteran owned businesses. I will very likely be back since it is a nice, close, and relatively inexpensive barbecue restaurant.

    What a great experience... Once we parked we noticed this huge black truck outside flanked with the restaurant's name, the parking lot was immaculate and paid respect to the military. We met family here for the first time to support the business, enjoy some good food and enjoy family!! After everyone decided what we wanted to try, we got in line and ordered and ordered we got our drinks and sat. The gentleman that was our server, kept our table clean, offered to top our drink and was all around helpful! "Service announcement:" For all my Yelpers that have never eaten here before. The meat is smoked, which means you will have a pink smoke ring when you cut or bite into you meat selection. They smoke the meat at a higher degree and longer than required and as a result it comes out with this beautiful pink ring. The meat is very tender and fully cooked. Just so you are aware going in. We didn't know, so now we alll are educated in smoking The food was delicious; baked beans have a little kick & we loved that. The greens have tomatoes in them, fresh and new. The peach cobble, GET IT!! Minced BBQ sandwich had enough meat on it for 2! The had minced chicken as well, brisket, yesss It is definitely a must visit. You will find so much on the menu to oooooh and awww about. I only had one thing that made me shake my head. For an establishment that caters to the military, No discounts were given to the military. "HEADS UP" However, you can join the VIP club that's free, so you can earn with every purchase when you come back. See photo for info Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend this location to everyone!!! 2 5 stars for cleanliness, friendly staff, kind, location, great food with many option

    Mission BBQ, Colonial Heights

    Yes, it's chain barbecue but it's still good. I like the "mission" of Mission BBQ - they fund veterans organizations including the Wounded Warrior program. And on top of that, the barbecue is actually really good. Step up to the counter, order and pay. A few minutes later, your name is called out and hopefully by then you've put your drinks together and found your table. Today's lunch was good. I had a half rack of ribs with cole slaw. They were meaty and cooked perfectly. I tried them with each of their sauces and the Kansas City one was the best. The cole slaw was crispy and not wet. I had one bite of the corn bread (keto diet!) and it is moist. Overall, a good experience and I would return to Mission again. [Review 18088 overall - 1369 in Virginia - 1610 of 2022.]

    Food portions are small for the price and the smallest portions of cornbread are given. Had to order more food just to get full.

    good food and service prices reasonable. Plenty on the plate, salad great.............would…read morerecommend to folks.

    Stopped in for lunch one afternoon after exploring old historic Petersburg. After searching google…read moremaps, we found this little eatery. The rating gave me hope but it was not as good as expected. The service was friendly and kind, we were greeted walking in and told to sit where we like so we grabbed a booth. An older building with high ceilings and heavy wood floors, a short bar and a handful of booths and tables. We started with their Fried Calamari, it was fresh and obviously not packaged but sadly was way overcooked. Tough and crewy, not good and a let down. Ordered a house side Salad very basic, iceberg lettuce with two tomato wedges and a couple slices of cucumbers. It was okay but kind of sad. Pizza undercooked? Like seriously raw veggies on our pie. We ordered a build your own with simole ingredients, mushrooms (canned not fresh), black olives and artichoke hearts. The pizza was okay but the vegetables were not cooked? It tasted like a raw pie, we each ate a piece and boxed the rest. It was actually better the next day when it was reheated in the oven, but still threw almost half of it away. With all the high mark reviews I was expecting a much better meal. It was a let down. 3 Stars - kind wait staff, mediocre food. Served its purpose but would most likely not repeat 01246
