I often frequent this restaurant and have never been disappointed. I enjoy the customer service and the fast pace. Everything's always clean and place food comes out hot. The staff make sure they inform you of any specials and even offer suggestions. Everyone's always so kind I enjoy coming and the food too read more

Brisket was so dry and almost inedible. Sides were tasty but I'm not coming here for sides so overall its a no go.

Having been to many other locations, it simply does not disappoint. The interiors are decorated in similar fashion with lots of military and first responder gear and memorabilia. Staff is always super friendly- from the person taking your order, to the servers to the manager or other staff walking around collecting trays and checking on you. The food is good solid BBQ- my personal preference is the moist brisket. The mac and cheese is always a hit, but my favorite is when they have the loaded smashed potatoes. They also have a good kids menu of either slider or kids sized ribs with a side of their choice. A great place to stop for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

A great stop for lunch and to be surrounded by support for the troops. The brisket salad and Italian dressing is very good and the 7 different bbq sauces from different areas from Texas to NC. The staff were super nice and the walls are covered by pictures and medallions from active and retired troops. read more

Every time I travel down south I look for Mission BBQ. *MB, why aren't you in New York?? Driving by, there was big sign: Smoked Ribeye Now a Ribeye is an attention getter. I drove in and was greeted by a friendly counter person. One smoked Ribeye please with a sweet tea ( I'm down south ya know ) and Cole slaw. I'm a Veteran, is there a discount? There isn't but here's extra corn bread. And thank you for your service! The smoked Ribeye was most excellent. Man... Mission BBQ just makes a righteous Q. Smoked meats, various sauces, patriotic staff, Merica! read more

Thankful I had this for Free at my Job luncheon for 2 days. The worst tasting food Ever!! The pulled Chicken has a Weird taste as well as the funny looking dark Potato Salad...I would not feed this sh*t to a Dog!!! read more

The service was very fast and everyone was very friendly. The restaurant is very neat with decor. My husband and I split the 3 meat meal. I like that the sauces are on the table and you have a good selection. We had the turkey,sausage,and bbq. All was good. Baked beans,fries,and cornbread was also good. Thank you for serving hot food. There is nothing worse that getting cold food. Would recommend and would return if in the area. read more

They were very welcoming and very helpful in explaining the menu. Their food was excellent. The brisket sandwich was nice and juicy. The tables had different types of barbecue sauces to try. Since this was my first time there, they gave me a free banana pudding. That was also delicious and I'm not a fan of banana pudding. 10/10 would go again read more

Mission is consistently great, the service is the best, food is superb, and the military, law enforcement, and public service focus and ambiance is inspiring. read more

Food is good but for an organization that touts veterans, they do NOT accept Veterans Admin or retired military IDs as proof of service and therefore do not offer military or veteran discounts. Need to change that. Not going back......if you support veterans, prove it. As you live off that mantra, you do not live it. Deeds, not words. read more

I love Mission BBQ! We got a catering for my wedding reception and it was a huge hit for the guests. It was affordable and service was fantastic. The manager was friendly and we had a couple of emails and meeting for the event in advance which was nice and smooth. After my successful event with Mission BBQ, I came back for dinner and it was so good! All staff are kind and food is amazing. read more

The service was phenomenal!! Everyone was so friendly! Harold the manager was sooo nice! I told them it was my first time and they gave me a free welcome brownie! It was my first time but definitely will not be my last!!! So nice to see such excellent customer service! read more

Delicious. A bit pricey but the most consistent tasty BBQ in our area. Plenty of seats and they try to keep it clean and organized.

We popped in for lunch after a shopping excursion. I ordered the brisket meal with sides- side salad and fries and hu y had the pick three meat sample (chicken, pork, brisket) with sides, pork & beans and fries. The only negative the fries were overly salty. The drinks were very good. I think they have the best iced sweet and unsweetened tea I had more room for the salad and was full after a few bites. So we took our food home for leftovers. Which was just as good. read more

I finally was able to visit Mission BBQ in Westminster Maryland on Father's Day, 2025. Many friends have told me I must try it as it is very good. Well, they weren't joking. When we first walked in the door we were welcomed by a very friendly staff. The ambiance of Mission BBQ is very good. We both had a pulled pork sandwich. He opted for the cole slaw and I got the potato salad. Very very good. There was a nice guy named Boston who came around to see if everything was ok and struck up a conversation with him. He told me that he has worked at many places but loves his job here. A well treated employee is a happy employee so I believe they must be food to their people. I highly recommend Mission BBQ if you love good food, good service, and a welcoming atmosphere. read more

We have tried Mission Barbecue several times. Unfortunately, the food is extremely salty; therefore, we will not be returning. I admire what they do and also what they stand for but, having such salty food will prevent us from returning. read more

This place is amazing. Got the brisket, Mac and cheese and cole slaw. Will come back. The service is amazing too.

When we first walked in, almost immediately there was a passive aggressive energy. Almost like the workers didn't want to be there. When we went to order, the person who was checking us out, I believe her name is Madison, almost from the get go had an attitude. Second, when we made one of the workers aware there was no more condiments left, she answered us with "Yea I'm aware I was just about to get to it" with yet again, a very passive aggressive attitude. When I went up to get a box for my food, the cashier who rang us up, Madison, was the one who answered to me. I was getting through my sentence of "Hey can I get a small box for my sandwich?" The response was "what size box. Small medium or large." It never used to be like this, the people were always very happy and in a good mood, I guess that just isn't it anymore. Very disappointing. read more

From the time I walked in, every single person was extremely nice! They have top tier customer service ! I am definitely coming back !

It's a chain, but it's surprisingly good. The food comes out too quick to be made-to-order. That being said, I do believe it is cooked in large batches the same day. It tastes very good. I tried the lean brisket, the cheddar jalapeño sausage, and the pulled pork. All were excellent and I'd highly recommend to anyone. I cleaned the plate along with their Mac n' cheese and slaw. Service staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We came back again for lunch before we left. read more

Great food, friendly service, and great honoring of our vets! I really like this place. They have special up front parking for veterans, and free food for Vietnam Veterans on March 29th. (Very nice promotions for veterans!) I had the 2 meat platter and loved the pulled pork and moist brisket. The brisket is probably the best that I've ever had! Also loved the creamy Cole slaw. (The variety of sides was really nice, too.) Everything about the restaurant was super clean and well kept. This will definitely be my go-to for barbeque in the area! read more

It was our first time at Mission BBQ, and we had a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cashier that took our order was knowledgeable and friendly. The price points were affordable for quick and tasty bbq. I ordered the two meat platter with moist brisket and bbq ribs with sides of Mac and cheese and potato salad. Everything was delicious! To top it off I had the peach cobbler for dessert, which warm, sweet and it was fantastic. I definitely would come here again! And Treyvon had excellent customer service skills and made our family feel welcomed tonight. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was casual. read more

Cute location of this local chain with fantastic service. Brisket was above average, but we actually liked the pulled chicken the best of the meats we tried. Sides were outstanding, except the collard greens. Why are there tomatoes in the greens??? Note that no alcohol served, some beer with the BBQ would be a nice add read more

had a chaser give me stank faces and judged by her a lot she had colorful hair. genuinely food was good just felt very hostel.

The flavor of the brisket was great. The multiple options of sauces to try. The price was

Our family's first time visit to this restaurant. We arrived at opening on a Sunday. A staff member opened the store the door and was instantly friendly as she greeted us into the restaurant. We order meals for a family of 5, and the kiddos enjoyed the selection of drinks. Wow, at the decor - interior of military branches memorabilia!! We loved the fresh sweet tea! Our order was ready timely and served fresh. If your looking for a great, military friendly, friendly staff, and yummy bbq... check this place out! read more

I'm going to be honest - I don't really like BBQ, but my husband LOVES it, so I entertain him like a good wife when he's craving BBQ. This place was GREAT and far exceeded my expectations!! From the second we walked in, the service was friendly, quick and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu items. I wish I could remember his name, but the kid who helped us was really great (he had curly hair if that helps)! He provided excellent recommendations and he was friendly and approachable. A manager even walked around the restaurant during our visit to see if everyone was satisfied. The BBQ was great! Even for someone who just doesn't love BBQ. I had the brisket and it was tender and delicious, the potato salad was perfectly creamy and the cole slaw was perfectly crunchy. No joke, I think they have the best fries I have ever had in my life. They feel very homemade and perfectly seasoned. Also, I want to mention how clean this restaurant was. Usually BBQ places have sticky bottles of sauce on the tables, food on the floors, messy prep areas, etc. BBQ typically equates with sticky, dive-like restaurants to me. This place was really, really clean. I did not even see a napkin on the floor. I appreciate that - it makes me feel like my food is prepared with the same level of care. I definitely will be back and I really, really enjoyed my food and overall experience. You can tell the employees are treated well here and the entire restaurant takes pride in what they serve to customers. Thanks Mission BBQ. Keep up the great work!!!!! read more

First time coming here. Stopped in because we wanted something different on our way home & so glad we did. Everything about this place was a 10/10. Staff was amazing and so friendly. Service was great and food was yummy! Will be finding more closer to home, I hope they're all as friendly as these guys were! read more

Mission BBQ - Pulled pork, Mac and cheese, baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Overpriced and always sounds better than after we eat it. The only thing I truly enjoy is the Mac and cheese. The mess up our orders and when I ask for wet it's more dry than sand. So I call and they offer a dessert.... Yuck. Not one dessert have I eaten there. Every cobbler is like eating a bowl of flavourless sugar. So sweet and underwhelming. So if you're craving overpriced M&C do it but the rest is eh. Which is sad because when they first came to town they wanted everything to be great .... Now I'll just Insta pot my own bbq. They won't last long doing this new method. Just another failed restaurant in Frederick that started strong and crawled to their death. read more

Love this place. Great Barbecue. Great atmosphere. Lightning quick service. Its a chain so there might be one near you!

I've never had bad food or service at any Mission BBQ. I love their food! I had the ribeye this time. It surpassed my expectations. It was tender and juicy. I highly recommend Mission BBQ! read more

Catered a family event on 12/26/24 & 5 stars across the board. Very cooperative& friendly on phone (Dennis) and very professional in person. Order from A-Z 100% accurate and food was excellent. Highly recommend for others and I'm a picky consumer. read more

Very mediocre BBQ. Kind of the McDonalds of BBQ. There are several of these along the east coast. Service is indifferent.

The staff is amazing as always. Parking is very easy and readily available. The dining room is busy but you can find a seat. THE FOOD IS AMAZING, SUPERB, TOP NOTCH ... lol .... I couldn't wait to even get good pics first. read more

The staff was so friendly! The place was so clean! Best BBQ since Texas. You need to offer a military discount. At least once a week. My son served for 5 years. I'll be back! read more

Mission BBQ - 10 person meal! So much food!!! Gotta go back for the peach cobbler! - Barbeque Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Since this place was highly recommended, we decided to try it out. Sorry to say but I never had such a bad dinner in my life. Ribs are so dry, you can't even chew it. French fries so dark because the oil wasn't changed for while. Also has bitterness, again because old oil. I would never recommend this place. I don't understand why it has almost 5 stars and it's not cheap. read more

Lisa, the manager of Frederick's Mission, Barbecue, is kind, dedicated and professional. The food is very good, the sauces for the meats are excellent. The staff is very friendly and there are enough people there that you get your food good and hot. The tables and booths give plenty of room for a family or large group. Highly recommended. Try to go at noon someday for an unforgettable experience. read more

I wanted to take a moment and provide this unsolicited review of Mission BBQ at Frederick MD. To Start off I have been a very long costumer of Mission BBQ as they are located in Hagerstown and Columbia MD and we made a special trip to stop in anytime we made a trip out to either vicinity. I was extremely happy to learn that Mission BBQ opened up in our Town of Frederick MD. mY family have enjoyed monthly and even at times weekly quality and impeccable service at Mission BBQ since its opening. My family and I have been extremely grateful to the entire staff and management that include Juan, Monica, Flor, Mary, Zaida, Josh, Evelyn, Gwen, Grace, Miles, Kelly, Laura, Lisa, Dean, Lindsey, Tim, Angelina, Jaqueline and John. The staff has treated us above and beyond professionally, Friendly and compassionately. The food has been amazing as we return often for the Moist Brisket and Plate Specials. The restuarant interior is always clean and the staff greets everyone as they enter the front door regardless of them being a new costumer, veteran or returning costumer. This helps everyone feel welcomed at all times. I love their dinning floating staff that includes Lisa and Lindsey, they are extremely personable and speak to all costumers in the dinning room. Highly recommended for all types of lunch and dinner settings. read more
