    Sauces! Can't tell you how happy the Memphis representation makes me.
    Ali D.

    Let me start by saying I'm a Memphis girl who lived in the Quad Cities for a few years and it was very difficult to find decent bbq when we lived near Davenport. So I would be remiss if I didn't note a bit of jealousy that there is now great BBQ in the QC area only once we no longer live in the area!!! The food from Mission BBQ was stellar. We got a bunch of food to go for our extended family -- we tried the pulled pork, Mac & cheese, baked beans, french fries, and potato salad and every single thing was delicious. I have to say the Mac & cheese really surprised me-- it was so flavorful! I really enjoyed the variety of sauces and thought the Memphis one was pretty true to the flavor profile of the Memphis area. (Maybe had a little bit more vinegar taste to it but I honestly prefer it that way!!!!) I can't say much about the service or ambiance as we got it to go but the restaurant was themed adorably and I enjoyed looking at the pictures of the military men and women. The staff members were attentive while we were there but not overly friendly or enthusiastic. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and you want some good BBQ!

    4.5* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4* Service: 5* 11/16/2023 This place was recommended by a work colleague for my visit in Davenport. This place has hospitality down right. Employees were constantly greeting me, making me feel quite welcome and showing true appreciation that I was there to try some of their BBQ. For my meal, I ate quite light - opting for only the 8oz of Smoked Turkey with a side of cornbread (see picture). While the turkey was a little on the dry side, it was late in the evening, still tasted great and gave me the opportunity to try all of the hot sauces at the table (see pictures). Definitely a solid BBQ stop in Davenport...and I loved the support and appreciation that was shown to our military throughout the restaurant!

    Absolutely amazing food, service and atmosphere. Such friendly fast service. The smell when you walk in is like aroma therapy. The food melts in your mouth and everyone there was super helpful and delightful. They check on you make sure you are happy and boy was I!! Free dessert for first time visitors. I have never left any place more satisfied and happy. Thank you!

    This is the best BBQ I have had in Iowa or Illinois. The mac n Cheese was not dry and had a great creamy flavor. The staff was helpful, since it was our time here, she explained the menu and how it works. The places is geared towards service members of all kinds. They had plenty of seating inside and out. Plenty of choices and portions are big. We also had coleslaw and a brisket sandwich, but my significant other had it half gone before I got to the pictures. He said the brisket was very good, coleslaw was not his favorite, but he is a coleslaw snob. Lol....very worth the trip, will go back without a doubt!

    Food has NO comparison!!! Service with a smile and in an awesome atmosphere! The salad bar is…read moredelicious as well! I have to take 1/2 my dinner home! Delicious left overs!!

    "Dedicated to the American Farmer." That is The Machine Shed's creed…read more Today (August 1st 2025) my wife and I stopped in for lunch, and I'm glad we did. It was our first visit so we weren't sure what to expect. I now know you can expect: friendly service, reasonable prices, and good food. When you walk in the front door it is a little confusing. There is a gift shop, and the restaurant is past the gift shop; but the hostess stand is in the gift shop. You also pay your dinning bill at the gift shop counter. The gift shop got very congested, but it was not a big deal and won't impact my rating. We started with a cup of French Onion Soup. It was very good, they top it with some thin french fried onions which was a nice twist. It has been awhile since I've been in Iowa and I was craving a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. The sandwich was good but not up to Iowa standards. I'm accustomed to a breaded pork tenderloin that is pounded nice and thin and is way bigger than the bun. This was not pounded thin. It was a thick cut of meat. But, I repeat it was good. My fries were delicious. My wife had the Classic Burger and it was excellent. She said her sweet potato fries were good (I did not try them). Service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. One word of caution: If you are on a road-trip and hoping for a quick stop (as we were) be warned it won't be quick. Everything is made from scratch, which is great, but it definitely takes longer. If you are in Davenport and looking for good food at reasonable prices you might want to stop by The Machine Shed.
