First of all the test of any BBQ joint worth it's salt is their brisket. I'm happy to say that Mission's is excellent, perfectly smoked and juicy. The coleslaw was among the best I have ever had and the cornbread was moist and flavorful. Their selection of homemade sauces are wonderful and the atmosphere is friendly and casual. The service is excellent with our hostess going above and beyond. When she learned we had a Vietnam vet in our party she brought freshly baked cookies to the table and gifted each of us with a bottle of sauce read more

I'd say 8.5/10 - very solid BBQ place. The greens and cornbread for me were off the charts. No vinegar or spice required because they already had it! The cornbread was the soft and slightly sweet variety, and soaking it in the juice from the greens really leveled it up. The smoked turkey had enough flavor on its own before adding sauce. And there's at least 6 different types of sauce available. We didn't get dessert but want to next time. Service was great, and a very nice lady came and collected our plates when we were done. The ethos of this restaurant is pro-veteran, patriotic, but it's not just decor; Mission actually supports many charities for service members and their families. Very glad I tried it, nothing not to like, so please check them out. read more

Mission BBQ - Smoked turkey, collard greens, corn bread - Barbeque Near Me - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

I love that Mission BBQ has come to the Cranberry area. I had their food years ago at the Robinson location and felt that the restaurant made a strong first impression. I love their brand positioning and the honor and respect that they show for the men and women who serve our country. Every day at noon, they pause service for two minutes, face the American flag, and stand at attention while the National Anthem plays. #Merica The food is the star of the show here, however. Everything that I've tried has been stellar, and I love that they have so many sauces to try at every table. This is a place worth visiting again and again. read more

Our kids arranged for Mission BBQ to cater our 50th wedding anniversary family party. IT WAS AMAZING! The food was so delicious and we had enough that everyone got leftovers. We couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks for adding to what was already a really special day. read more

Amazing meal! I loved everything we ordered. The ordering process can be a bit overstimulating - it's loud, lots of decisions (good ones about food), and a quick line...look at the menu ahead of time! Open seating after you place your order. High chairs for little ones are available. The food - turkey is a must. Tender and Smokey. Pulled chicken- so juicy and flavorful. Same with pulled pork. Mac and cheese is phenomenal. Truly a creamy mac that isn't mush! Baked beans had a nice, gentle heat. Hearty and good! Cheese potatoes were scrumptious. This was a seasonal special. There are six sauces to try, and I liked the Tupelo honey the best! I can't wait to come back for more! read more

First time trying Mission BBQ. It was great. I went with one of their sandwich combo meals: Pulled pork sandwich w/ coleslaw, a side of blueberry cobbler, and a lemonade. Plus I added on a piece of cornbread for .99 cents. Sandwich was solid, nice soft bun. Pork was tender and juicy. I had ordered 1 of each bbq sauce, but after trying them all, I think the "smokey mountain" one might have been my favorite. Would definitely recommend this sandwich. Blueberry cobbler was delish. Couldn't tell ya how happy I was when I saw this listed as a side dish option. Sweet, buttery, warm. 10/10. Lemonade was so dang good as well. Probably some of the best I've had at a restaurant. Cornbread ok good, not the best I've had, but worth the .99 cents if you're hungry. Overall, this is a great spot. I ordered online, which allows you to skip the line. Food wasn't a bad price, I think my combo meal was about $15 or so. I know there's a lot of negative reviews about this being a "chain bbq spot", but I don't think the quality of their food lacked just because there are several locations. Would order from here again in a heartbeat. read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich, blueberry cobbler, and cornbread. - Barbeque Near Me - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

I'm not usually a big barbecue fan, but Mission BBQ completely surprised me in the best way. The food was absolutely fantastic. The sliced turkey was juicy and tender, the brisket had great smoky flavor and pulled apart perfectly, and even the ribs felt right off the bone. The fresh-cut fries were crispy, but not hot, and the cornbread was a sweet. Also worth mentioning they have plenty of barbecue sauces to please anyone's pallet. What makes this place even more special is that they proudly honor the heroes who protect our communities and our country. Every day at noon, the entire restaurant pauses to stand and sing the national anthem, and that is something truly meaningful to experience. walking into the restaurant makes you feel so American. The only thing I really didn't like is that you have to order at the register and wait for your order to be called. But when ordering at the register, everyone was very helpful. Still, for someone who normally doesn't go for barbecue, I'd come back here without hesitation. Mission BBQ definitely won me over! read more

As a southern girl, I am often skeptical of BBQ joints in the north. However, this spot did not disappoint. I walked in and was immediately greeted. When it was my turn to order, the staff member who food my order (Katie, I believe) was super friendly and helpful in item selection as I was debating between two options. I ended up getting a two meat sampler with the brisket and sausage. I made it a combo where I got green beans and Mac 'n cheese. The accident gave me baked beans instead of green beans but let me keep the item since it was served to me and they can't take it back. Now for taste. The brisket was superb! Like I thought of going up and getting more as it was so tender, juicy and delicious. I liked the sausage as well! The mac n' cheese did its job (in a good way) and green beans were okay, it had a lot of bacon in it which isn't a bad thing. Actually the baked beans were better than the green beans so I'll keep that in mind for next time. Some folks might complain about the prices but based on today's economy, it's actually not bad and about market price. The add ons is really what gets ya but it's a business so I respect it. Will I be back?, shockingly yes! The food was good, the staff was nice, and it's very spacious inside to have a conversation without feeling crowded. Note that I went on opening weekend so it's possible that the vibe might be different later but hopefully not as Cranberry Twp needed a new establishment like this. read more

So to me this is just a bit under a 4. This is my second visit to this Mission BBQ. It's a new location that recently opened in Cranberry Twp. Both visits I've found the staff working there to be very nice. This time we decided to eat in. You walk in to the menu and a checkout. You place your order and they give you cups for your drinks and you go find yourself a table. When your order is ready they will yell out your name and you go back up to the counter to get your food. This trip I opted for the pulled pork sandwich and added a side of macaroni and cheese. I really like their macaroni and cheese, but to me, the serving size versus the cost is a bit off. My wife and daughter split a two meat meal and had two sides. They chose cheesy potatoes and mac and cheese. My sandwich was a decent value, the meat was piled high and has no sauce on it. As I expected the mac and cheese was solid. At the tables they have holders that have 6 different styles of bbq sauce you can select from. I took pulled pork off my sandwich and tried numerous sauces on small samples of the pork before choosing which I would use on my sandwich. Our favorites were the Memphis Belle and the Tupelo Honey Heat. Both had a nice flavor. My wife and daughter had pulled pork and moist brisket. They seemed to think it was decent. The cheesy potatoes were okay. Again, the serving size versus the cost is a bit off. Something here did not sit well with my wife and she felt not so great the rest of the day. I'll visit again I'm sure, but my wife says she thinks she's done after her experience. read more

Came in on a frigid Saturday evening and the place was hopping! Lots of neat decorations and service member memorabilia on the walls and my toddlers sons couldn't get enough. Workers were friendly and as efficient as they could be given the throngs of patrons. After ordering our food was ready about 10 minutes later. The brisket had nice bark, the jalapeño sausage was flavorful, and the pulled pork and pulled chicken were nice and moist. We enjoyed trying the six different BBQ sauces that were at our table, but the meat was seasoned well and didn't require the sauces either. For sides we ordered fries, cream corn and mac and cheese. The fries were nice and crispy, the Mac and cheese was nicely browned and not over cooked, and the cream corn was pretty standard. It was easy to share this with two adults and two toddlers without breaking the bank. Only issue with the experience is there is no easy way to queue for your food and so you're standing shoulder to shoulder and uncomfortably close to some of the patrons at tables and booths trying to eat. Would be nice to have cards so food can be run to tables or a microphone calling out names. read more

Got the brisket dinner with beans and greens . The brisket was the point and more fatty than usual from other Missions . The meat had a great flavor, just a bit more fatty than usual . The greens were ok and the baked beans had an off taste ( maybe burnt ) The cherry cheesecake was very good . Everyone working here and every Mission has gone out of their way to accommodate you. Service is 10+ They treat our veterans with the upmost respect Love the setup of the restaurant . ( Texas BBQ, Veterans , law enforcement and first responders . Patches and various items Highly recommended for a franchise bbq . Just be sure to get the flat for a leaner piece of brisket . read more

Brisket was great! Service was super friendly! They are very appreciative of Veterans We would certainly go back. read more

I sure do appreciate the Manager on yesterday evening (Tuesday) that made my order right. He allowed me try their Beef Brisket and I'm hooked. It was so good that I will never cook it again when I can simply go to Mission BBQ, get enough for a meal and enjoy! Very flavorful read more

Foods great. Ambiance is great. Service was amazing. I recommend to everyone who likes great food and our veterans.

I lived in Texas and the brisket I would have there is not as good as Missions. Missions brisket was so tender and juicy and a nice generous amount. As the price of beef is so high now, I thought the prices were affordable. The fries were good and along with the sweet tea made a wonderful lunch. My friend had the salmon and he said it was great. The caramel bread pudding was moist and delicious. The employees were all friendly and they made you feel welcomed. We arrived at 11am on a Saturday when they just opened. By the time we left the place was really filling up. We will definitely be back! read more

This was very disappointing! The food was pretty much tasteless and not what I had hoped it would be and the prices were far above what they should have been. If there were not sauces on the tables, we would not have known this was supposed to be bbq. Sorry, but I think that there are much better choices in and around Cranberry! read more

Food is very good. Management (??) needs to get their act together!!! Too "busy" to get my order ready?? They really need a drive thru window. Until they come up with some way to handle pickup orders, I won't be back!! read more

The young girl taking our order was probably the nicest person I've talked to in a while. The whole staff seems so friendly! Great service!

The people here are super nice the have great BBQ they also are super nice to everyone that comes

They added heat to green beans and collards and that is not needed and ruins it. The brisket and chicken were way too smoked. Mitch's is way better not doctored up. read more

My daughter and I went when we found out we actually had one near us!! Never disappoints.. The ribs are expensive, however, they are so amazingly good! Fall off the bone and melts in your mouth. We loved every bit of the experience and the meal. It gave me a chance to tell my daughter about her uncle who she never met, who was a Marine. Love you guys! read more
