    Brisket house salad
    Tiffanie G.

    Second time visiting but first time Ordering bbq salad. The salad itself is fresh with a huge portion but the meat added is lacking for the price you pay..$15 and they only give you one dressing. The staff member who did help me graced me with extra dressing without asking. Overall Service was swift and extremely helpful but I'm better off getting the platter with 2 sides and a drink. I won't make this same mistake again.

    Always a great meal at Mission BBQ. Friendly and professional service paired with great BBQ. What more can one ask for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love that the theme inside is for their support of the military and first responders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the moist brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, Mac and cheese and baked beans with cornbread. Everything was fantastic. And one of the workers was kind enough to provide with a sample of the banana pudding and brownies. Both were delicious.

    Baby back ribs

    Very solid BBQ spot, despite being in a nondescript strip mall it has an authentic and welcoming feel. Loved the brisket and pulled pork, highly recommend both. The baby back ribs were incredibly tender, literally falling off the bone, the texture is amazing although the taste is a bit on the saltier side. Lots of great sides to choose from, we liked both the slaw and the mac and cheese. The selection of BBQ sauces is pretty amazing, they have every style from Mississippi to Texas. Price is quite reasonable as well, meats are all between $9 - 15, sides $3 - 5 each, and they don't harass you for tips. Will definitely be back!

    A little bit of Nashville in MD. Amazing service, delicious food, and great vibes. Family friendly and you had outdoor seating available. Got the brisket sandwich with the Mac and cheese as well as fries. Drenched it in the smoky mountain sauce I literally forgot to take pics of the other food orders when I went because I was just enjoying the delicious meal. Meat sweats for sure. Clean establishment. Sauces and everything you needed was at reach You have the option of lean or moist for your meats. First timer and can't wait to go back. Literally felt like martins bbq from Nashville was in germantown Md. Highly recommend.

    Rib, sweet potato pie

    I went to Mission BBQ because I had been craving BBQ for some reason. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants when it comes to BBQ but figured I'd give it a try. We walked in looking at the menu and the cashier Tony saw how wide eyed we were. He came from behind the counter and explained everything on the menu. By the time he was done we knew exactly what we wanted. We ordered the pull pork S and which, fries and baked beans with two ribs, sweet potato pie, 2 meats, coleslaw, mac and cheese and corn bread. My husband is a picky eater and was pleased by the flavor and options of BBQ sauce. The pulled pork sandwich had enough meat for two. The beans were flavorful and the fries were cooked and fresh. I am a fan of good fries. I will be back just to order fries for sure. There was a young lady (but I call her ma'am) who assisted with anything we needed once we sat down and I was moving a little slow due to previous week surgery and she was helpful in getting me what I needed so I didn't have to move around. Also the sweet potato pie flashed me back to my grandmas pie. It was very good filing. I will definitely go back when I fill that craving. The place was clean, well lit and the music was loud enough to hear but not loud enough youncoulsnt talk.

    Various BBQ choices.  My favorites are Texas Twang & Smoky Mountain

    Part 2 of 2 M alphabet series. M is for Mission BBQ: I love Mission BBQ, had been to this location a couple of times, and various other locations including Columbia, Laurel, etc. I was feeling depressed in January 2022 about something, and this was great comfort food. After walking out of Mezeh across the driveway on Saturday, August 27, I conveniently walked to Mission BBQ. See my 2-star review of Mezeh Germantown. The cashier & person who brings out the food here are friendly. Since losing weight since June, Mission BBQ doesn't follow that well with my diet, but it's not the worst for my diet either. So, after my negative experience with the Mezeh, I just went with Mission knowing it'd be great. I ordered the Lean brisket instead of the mix or fatty brisket. I still indulged on the mac n' cheese because their mac is excellent and by far my favorite side there. The brisket is delicious along with the mac n' cheese. There are a variety of 6 kinds of BBQ sauce, so you try each of them. They even have a Maryland BBQ!! It's not my favorite, but it's decent. I think my two favorites are Texas & West Virginia. As far as great BBQ in MD, that's a weakness for the state. However, Mission BBQ is great, solid BBQ place. It's the 2nd best BBQ I've had in MD. The best one in the Halethorpe area in Baltimore County. The atmosphere is comfortable in there. Well lit to see your food. Western style booths & decor. Additionally, lots of various Knick-knacks often supporting our military, fire fighters, police, etc. Supporting our first responders & military is their Mission statement ie give free sandwich or even meal on 9/11 for first responders, etc. Also, country music in the background, but it's not blaring either. Additionally, their sweet tea fresh, brewed & excellent. I didn't get in August since I'm dieting and sweet tea is very unhealthy with all the sugar. But having their sweet tea every once in a while is rewarding, but every day would be excessive. Also, the restroom was clean. The wide metal urinal is interesting. If someone's aim is so bad and miss that wide urinal, he is utterly hopeless. But as I said clean restroom, and that is most important thing. In summary, excellent food, great atmosphere, supports troops/first responders, and friendly staff.

    Husband and I dined at Mission BBQ to fulfill a craving and it did NOT disappoint! I ordered the baby back ribs and my husband ordered the brisket. Both were excellent and we enjoyed sampling all of the sauces with the meat. The only thing that was so so was the cornbread, but can you really complain when it's included with your entree? Service was fast and I would gladly eat here again.

    I never leave reviews but Mission BBQ in Germantown was TOO GOOD to not leave a review. My family and I just PCS'd here from Germany and we decided to try Mission BBQ. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Angela and told her it was our first time at Mission BBQ, she was absolutely amazing and made our family feel so so welcomed. Angela recommended foods , sauces , etc ... it was ALL AMAZING! She is amazing!! Then we met Stacy... Stacy was absolutely amazing!! She was so so friendly, helpful and her energy was just so uplifting! My 19 mo old daughter even absolutely loved her ! Aside from the food being amazing these 2 ladies are the reason we will be coming back regularly. Thank you ladies for making us feel so welcomed

If not in the mood for it there is a hot pot menu (with table side burners for individual pots with broth that one cooks protein and veggies in). They also have a classic Chinese food menu one orders à la carte, where the dishes are made to order in the staff kitchen. One of the signature dishes is their Peking Duck. We didn't get the Duck, hotpot or bbq this time. Got 3 different entrees: jumbo salt shrimp, fried bean curd with vegetables and spicy chili fish filet. The fish had plenty of chili oil, dried chili, Napa cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, bean thread noodles and scallions accompanying. Was flavorful and numbing. The tofu dish was a solid vegetarian source, with fried soy braised tofu triangles, broccoli, mushrooms s, cabbage and carrots. The best dish is their shrimp. Large prawns with the shells on were fried in salt, pepper and chili powder. The shells were crispy and edible and absorbed the flavoring well. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and succulent. Great place, will need to try other dishes.
