    Greens beans are so yummy. The brisket wasnt something id order again too much fat and mystery meat. Turkey was very good if you like alot of smokey flavor. Would get Turkey again.

    Order at the counter
    Dan S.

    I really like the look and feel of this place. Order at the counter meal was ready before I grabbed my fountain drink. Nice selection of sauces at the table, I prefer to taste the meat but they were pretty good. I had the two meat platter pork and brisket and added a couple ribs to get a feel for their meats. Brisket was offered moist or lean, of course I went with moist. Nice flavor and seasoning, I would prefer a bit more bark but tasty. Pulled pork was moist but needed sauce not much flavor. The pork ribs were the stand out for me, meaty bite off the bone. I really liked the decor and the challenge coins in the table were very cool. Overall a solid place and I look forward to retuning

    Pulled Pork and Corn Casserole
    Adam G.

    Mission knows how to B-B-Q! Great selection of meats and sides. We tried a pulled pork sandwich with side of corn casserole and a pulled chicken sandwich with a side of fries. Order at the counter, take a seat, then they call your name when it's ready. The food was delicious. Meats were tasty. Corn casserole was awesome, and the fries were crispy. They have six sauces to choose from, all on the table. My favorites were Smoky Mountain and Memphis Belle. Some of the best BBQ I've had in a while. Service was also excellent and they took time to walk us through their process. Overall, highly recommend!

    I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. My best friend and I stopped in for dinner. He got the brisket sandwich and I got the smoked burger. The place is decorated in military memorabilia, but I will say this. The food was very good and I can't wait to come back and try other items. I will say this, the smoked burger and fries are very good I will say maybe the best flavored burger I have had. And I love fresh fries. I had the lemonade and sweet tea.

    Bald White Guy Reviews - First Review! MISSION BBQ - Mason, OH Rating: ‍‍‍‍ (4 out of 5 Bald Heads) Had to run an errand today and decided to meet up with my University of Cincinnati student son for a quick lunch. He suggested Mission BBQ in Mason. I'd never been, so while waiting on my lunch guest, I did what any modern diner does--scoped out the menu online www.mission-bbq.com. Brisket, pulled meats, fries, and all the fixin's. Sweet tea, lemonade, and a soda lineup that could make a gas station jealous. Pulling into the lot, the first thing I noticed--besides the fact that my stomach was already growling--was the smell of the smoker drifting through the air like a meaty siren song. The exterior was spotless, and the military/first responder theme was clear before I even walked in. Inside, it's a tribute wall of service--military photos, law enforcement, fire, and EMS patches (I'm guessing donated by patrons). As a first responder myself, I appreciated the respect baked into the atmosphere. Pro tip for first-timers: You order at the counter, grab your own drink, and find a seat. When your food's ready, they call your name and bring it to you. Simple, efficient, and no awkward "who's my server?" moments. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, fresh-cut fries, and a sweet tea. The pork? Tender, smoky, and full of that slow-cooked depth that makes you want to close your eyes for a second bite. The fries? Fresh Cut, Golden, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside--basically the potato equivalent of a standing ovation. On the table: a BBQ sauce tour of America--Texas Twang, Smoky Mountain, Memphis Belle, KC Classic, South Carolina Zing, and my personal favorite, Tupelo Honey Heat (sweet, spicy, and just dangerous enough to keep you coming back). Bonus points for the vinegar bottle--perfect for fries, just like the county fair. Mid-meal, an employee came around offering samples of their corn casserole. I'm not saying it changed my life, but I wouldn't turn it down if it showed up at my table again. The verdict: $34 for two lunches. The frugal side of me thinks that's a bit steep for a quick bite, but let's be honest--everywhere's pricey these days. The food was solid, the atmosphere was genuine, and the service was warm. Mission accomplished. I will go back for sure. If you in the area it is worth the stop! First Responders - Take a uniform patch from your department to add to the wall! Final score: 4 Bald Heads. Not 5--because my wallet still remembers.

    Everyone working here was very nice. The service was great as was the food. The atmosphere is patriotic with customers standing for the National Anthem while I was there. As a veteran I appreciated this immensely. Although they do not offer a veteran, or military discount, they DO have a veterans VIP club linked on their site. I got a free (huge) sandwich of my choice from the sandwich menu - delicious! I'm local to this place, and it was my first visit, and I assure you it will not be my last. A definite strong recommendation is warranted. If you haven't been and you like bbq joints, it would be a travesty to not check this place out!

    Banana pudding
    Amy D.

    Great location, great service, and amazing food. Easy and plenty of parking, the inside is roomy, welcoming, and very clean. The aroma to when you walk in will make your mouth water. The owner/manager I am not sure which he was but very nice and was involved on making sure everyone was happy. I love salmon and yes I know who orders salmon at a BBQ restaurant but I seen in an had to. Probably the best I have ever had. Juicy, large portion, smokey, and full of flavor. 10/10 recommend. The fries and banana pudding was also amazing and will definitely order again.

    Pulled pork, brisket, and one side of beans. Also a water and one soft drink not included in photo. $21.87!!
    J L K.

    Pulled pork is good. My husband likes the brisket. Really pricey for what you get. $21.87 for picture below. And please invest in some pagers. The woman literally screams out the name of the order that's ready. You can hardly place your order with the person behind the counter.

    Brisket and dry ribs from Mission BBQ
    Robert O.

    Last time I was there, the experience was not the best, but I reached out to Mission BBQ. They got involved immediately. Joe Laisure, the Dayton area Director of Operations along with the founder of Mission BBQ, Stephen Newton, got involved personally. They sent me coupons for a meal on the house to correct the mistakes of my last visit. Let me assure you, it was a great second visit. The food rocked, and I did not have to deal with the rude employee from last time. All the other employees were very friendly and fast in serving me. It was a great experience at the restaurant itself, and the food was top notch, zero mistakes. Thanks for being so interested in the customers, Mission BBQ. It is rare to see that kind of care these days.

    Brisket & Mac and cheese
    Greg C.

    Was immediately greeted upon entering and found the place very clean. Definitely could smell the smoker smoking meat which is important for a bbq place. The counter individual was very nice, pleasant and helpful. After ordering we found a place to sit which was also clean. They actually had a person in the dining area cleaning up tables as people left. Nice to see they like a clean environment. Food was really good and enjoyed the brisket sandwich I had. Mac & Cheese was a bit dry for me but others at the table enjoyed theirs. Tried all 6 sauces at the table and are good. My favorite though was one you ask for since mayonnaise base mixed with horseradish. That one is a winner. Will definitely be back for another try. Hopefully still compares to this visit.

We were greeted quickly and not long after sitting, our waitress, Kacey, took our drink orders. We also ordered the buffalo chicken dip to start and it came out fairly quickly, and was delicious. There was a good amount of chips and dip for it being an appetizer. My daughter ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza and said it was really good. My husband had the half Atlantic City Italian sub (around 10-12 inches) with the Milano chips. He said that everything tasted good, especially the Milano chips, which ended up being potato wedges with their own light, crispy, breading. He also said that he was happy that he only got the half sub as it was big. I ordered the small Italian Meats pizza and wow, it was delicious! Overall, I would recommend Milano's as the food and service (though a little slow at times) were excellent.

I don't know how long this place been here, but walking in feels like the place just got renovated, very clean, and welcoming, one of the girl is not, seem like she just woke up, even tho is 4pm in the afternoon, maybe she got started her shift My server was more friendly, very nice lady I can't remember what my ordered, but you can see it on the menu. Now I don't know is me or because of what it is now in our country, everything seem sooooo expensive You see in my photo, that sandwich is like $17, you can order half sandwich half side, or the full sandwich like mine for the same price, like I said, is 4pm in the afternoon, this is my first meal, so I'm going for the full. Added basket of fries for $4.99 and a cup of soup another $4.99 Food is okay, nothing special. I'm not a big fan, the reason why I'm giving it 5 stars even tho is not up to my standards of taste, that's because of me, everyone taste are different, I'm not going to let what my taste effect my stars rating, the food still good, place is clean, my server is friendly A bit expensive, I walked out of there $30, for a sandwicH, fries and soup, in a tiny little town of Dayton?

    I recently placed a DoorDash order at Doubleday's Home Plate…read more Doubleday's Home Plate offers a variety of food options. I elected to get the Ooey Gooey Smashburger and an order of fries. The smashburger consists of two smash hamburger patties topped with American cheese with cheese sauce between the patties. I added pickles on my sandwich. The burger was cooked well, in the typical smashburger style, and was very cheesy and delicious. The fries were good. The order came in a plastic container. Not quite eco-friendly but it kept the food warm and fresh. I highly recommend this establishment. My order was filled quickly and my DoorDasher delivered the order quickly. I like having different dining options and this is one place I do intend on visiting again.

Now, they are basically based at The Famous restaurant which too has gone down hill in quality of food. I had made an order last night after long day of work (work a hour away), and the order was wrong and high priced for the portions. The fish was not a good portion like it was previous and did not even give me tartar sauce with fish. I was not aware of change of location to Famous Restaurant until I made the order and had to drive out of my way after long day at work. Management had refunded me money which was appreciated, but I would say that maybe they should just add this menu to The Famous Menu or to the Doubleday locations and close the doors and concept of this restaurant.

I ordered a six inch French Dip sandwich with a side of BBQ potato chips. I also added a small cup of chili to my order. The order was promptly prepared and delivered. It came in a compact plastic bag. The chili and au jus dipping sauce were carefully placed in bottom of the bag. A spoon and napkins were included but no crackers for the chili. The French dip sandwich was very good. Beef was tender, bread soft, and there was a good meat to cheese ratio. The au jus dipping sauce was good and there was plenty for the entire sandwich. The au jus dipping sauce container was carefully wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent leaking. The chili was good but there's no beans in this chili and there were no crackers included, which is a little disappointing. The potato chips are Miss Vickie's kettle style potato chips. They were what you would expect from kettle chips. Overall, I rate this restaurant at 4-stars. Everything tasted good and was packed carefully. The value was pretty good and the ingredients were fresh. If desired, they include a pickle wedge with your sandwich similar to other sandwich shops. I would visit again and I do recommend,
