    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.

    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.

    I like that the food is always consistently good here. I generally always order a club sandwich…read morewhen I go to a deli, and theirs are good, and I love the giant pickle spear that comes with all of the meals. This place does inspire me to branch out from my normal choice though. The sailor is delicious, the French dip is great, the Cuban is great, the barbecue chicken is so delicious. All the people have always been friendly, the parking lot across the street is convenient. The family and I are fans.

    I used to live in Petersburg when I was younger and I've been to restaurants close to here but I've…read morenever gotten the chance to try out this place. Interior (8/10) - The inside looks good but the chairs at the glass tables were a little too tight for me so I decided to sit at the bar which was a good choice. The chairs at the bar felt a little wobbly but I didn't mind. I sometimes drive past this place during the night and it's always packed so I guess it's best for a post work visit. Service (8/10) - The staff were extremely friendly and on top of things and it's a local restaurant so I not going to complain. Food (9/10) - and now for the main attraction, the food tastes pretty good. I had the Crab Cake Sandwich and it was seasoned and savory. My friend ordered mozzarella sticks and they were the best mozzarella sticks I've had so far, crisped and cheesy to perfection. And the crab dip was pretty decent, too creamy and juicy to my taste (No Diddy). Overall, this place doesn't come off as a place for dinner for me but it's the perfect place for Lunch. 8.5/10
