    Cheeseburger with fries
    J David H.

    I'm a fan of the Mission BBQ chain and have been for years. First time at this Hampton location which offers a smaller floor plan. Parking was no problem, but I had to park a good distance on a Saturday afternoon. I was promptly greeted and order taken by a friendly staff. The burger spoke to me and first time I got one at Mission. The pricing was excellent! I added fries as a side. The dining room was spotless and surprisingly was not too busy. My order was called by name in 10 minutes or so and was correct. The burger appeared to be a half pound and had lettuce, tomato and pickle. You can add other condiments by retrieving them at a nearby cart. I also ordered a fountain drink. My cheeseburger was very good, but honestly too large. Everything seemed fresh and cheese melted nicely. The taste was yummy! Fries were a bit underdone, but still tasty. My ice cold Dr. Pepper was delicious. A staff picked up my tray when finished which elevated my review. I probably would not order the burger again, but only because a half pound was too much. The value was excellent. 3.5 rounding up. I would return.

    *READ THIS* I want to start by saying I'm from the south so knowing what good barbecue taste like is sort of in my blood. That being said it's not only the food that makes Mission barbecue great, it's people like "Lena." The warmest most welcoming woman we could've asked for help. She kindly and enthusiastically greeted us upon walking in and asked how our day had been. Lena my hat is off to you, you angel! We got to chat with the cooks and her while they prepared our meal. It's was good conversation asking what everyone's favorite dish was. Some food is good for your body, some food is good for your soul. Don't hesitate any longer and go get some of this amazing pulled pork and other smoked meats, and enjoy being treated right while you're doing it. I can not thank Lena enough for making my day and hooking a girl up with that cornbread, ~the kind of hook-up that restores hope for humanity~ kind of hooked us up. 12/10 would recommend to anyone who feels the need to eat so much barbecue and cornbread that they're in a bliss of food coma. Love you guys!! Keep doing exactly what you are doing and keep your head high! Can't wait to come back and get more!

    "black plate item", grilled shrimp

    My first time here... Honestly, it was y'all's reviews that brought me here... I needed to see what all the hype was about. I needed to try all of the top items everyone said was sooo good. Starting with the 3 meat platter. I opted for the jalapeno cheese sausage, juicy and the perfect snap when you bite it, 5/5. The turkey was boring and dry 2/5, because I took it home and slapped it in a sandwich the next day so that made it better. The brisket was dry and I asked for moist, 2/5, It was saved by dipping in BBQ sauce. The Mac and cheese side was decent. I sprinkled some old bay on top cause it needed seasoning 3/5. The beans were smokey and too much BBQ was added imo, 2/5. The green beans were just ok, the bacon saved it 3/5. The "secret black menu item" was grilled shrimp. When you dip it in the creamy white BBQ sauce, it slapped lol! 5/5 Had to try their infamous ribs, they did fall off the bone, but it was dry as hell 2/5. So honestly, the food was "mid" at best... Why then did I rate them a 4 star??? THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! You're greeted as soon as you walk in. The employees seemed happy, the place was clean, they walked around and offered turkey to try... I mean, it was awesome! I definitely suggest you give them a try.

    After Sophia and I left AMC Theatres, we headed here for some lunch. I'll be honest, Mission BBQ was hardly in my radar. When it comes to fast casual restaurants, it's hit or miss because they're not local. But I did see this place has fairly good reviews. Sophia ordered from the Newport News location once and actually liked her selection. So why not give them a try? We walked inside and up to the counter. Everything inside was spotless and had a nice crowd on hand. Country music was playing across the speakers but not too loud. Up at the counter is where you place your orders. I chose a combo of a pound of moist brisket with a side of fries and a cup of water. We got seated where they had a variety of BBQ flavors to choose from. Overall, the meal was good. The brisket was moist and fries were plenty. Out of the BBQ flavors I've tried, I say Smoky Mountain and Texas Twang were my favorites. And they work very well for dipping fries. Our plates came with a side of cornbread also, but I lended mine to Sophia since I got full. Not a bad first time here and definitely won't be the last. We definitely found another fast casual place that hit the spot. Till next time :)

    Not typically a chain restaurant kinda guy, but this place is one of my few exceptions. This is my second visit, but I was too busy stuffing my face the first visit to write a review. Top notch bbq that is better than most mom and pop shops. Super moist meats and delicious sauces to pair! The Smokey Mountain is my favorite with the Alabama White coming in at a close second. Worst part about this place is making a decision on what meat to choose. Super friendly staff at this location as well!

    Good BBQ for a counter serve place but would prefer to go to a non-chain for what you are paying here. I really like the amount of sauces that they have and the different regional flavors that they cover. Unlike other Mission BBQs this franchise does not offer a military discount.

    Worst burger ever

    Food was cold Service was rude Food tastes bad So much cheese fries were ok Dirty floor Food was so DRY Overall ZERO STARS SAVE YOUR TASTE BUDS

    My family love the food, especially the brisket. The salmon is also good. We really like the discounts for veterans.

    Never gotten anything I've liked. Meat is typically dry. It's way to expensive for the quality of food they serve.

    Super impressed with this one!…read more When you walk in, it seriously feels like you stepped into a 90s movie diner, and I'm here for it! They were voted Best Burger in Newport News, so my expectations were pretty high. They absolutely did NOT disappoint. I ordered a plain cheeseburger with grilled onions and bacon, along with the chili cheese fries. BEST MEAL I'VE HAD IN A WHILE! The burger was fresh, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. Everything came out super fast and tasted fresh. You order at the counter when you walk in, and if you're dining in, they bring your food out to you. Super easy and efficient. It does get crowded though. They also had a little market where they sell ice cream, pie, jerky's, snacks. I really wanted to try their soft serve too, but by the time we finished eating, there was a HUGE line, so I'm kind of sad I didn't get to try it. Guess that just means I have to come back!

    Based on what we had and the speed of food delivery, I'd give Farmer's Table on Warwick 4/5 stars…read more We had four burgers, a chili dog, and tater tots. I think the tater tots were my favorite part - they were the perfect crispness. Burgers were delicious but messy, especially when your kids don't understand how to eat a burger with the paper wrapped around it so the toppings don't drip out and fall apart. The grease didn't soak through the buns like other people talked about, but it definitely had some liquid coming off. Still, delicious! There were a lot of people in line to order when we got there, and we were worried it would take a long time, but the orders were coming out pretty rapidly and we didn't wait too long. They do have some coloring books and a puzzle to keep little kids entertained while waiting, which was much appreciated. They also have a small farm shop in the next room with various items for sale. Overall, we would come back to support the farm-to-table concept, but not necessarily because of the food.

    I was hungry for a cheesesteak and was curious about this place. Based on the previous reviews I…read morethought it was worth a try. I was also intrigued about the cheesesteak egg rolls. I hate to say it but I didn't like it. I ordered a cheesesteak and a chicken cheesesteak egg roll. My biggest complaint with both was the meat was chopped way too fine for me. I'm use to big slices of steak and chicken in my cheesesteaks. The sub roll was also not substantial enough to stay intact when I bit into it. It just fell apart. I will try this place again when I'm visiting the area because like I said earlier others thought it was great. I'll also go earlier next time because I overheard the cook say while I was waiting, "here comes the end of the night rush." They had some good foot traffic.

    Let's get into it! This Cheesesteak Cafe is a "Mom and Pops Joint" located at Peninsula Town…read moreCenter. It serves Philly-style cheesesteaks, samplers, egg rolls, exceptional customer service, and some of the Best Wings I have had in the area! The restaurant is relatively small and gloomy, with enough seating to hold about 20 people for dine-in; however, this place is not a dine-in but a takeout place. I like that they put their full menu online, unlike other places that only put limited items. Service is outstanding; my first time calling in an order, the server not only told me how long it would be. Also, on this occasion, after calling in my order and completing the call, the server realized there was something that they did not have at the time. So she took the time to call and let us know and offered us something else. It was honorable in my eyes that she did that. Lastly, when I arrived, she double-checked to ensure my order was correct before I left the store. I had a cheesesteak, and my wife had the same. They were served hot, cheese melted all the way, and tasted terrific; the only problem was they were light with the meat. This is a very unique menu. They have sampler platters that can feed an army or combo platters that can feed two, and the price is right. You can mix and match them or have the pre-selected item. Now, let me talk about these wings. AMAZING! Fried to perfection, seasoned with a wet or dry rub, plain or on the side. These are cooked to order, so if you get wings to go, they are still hot when you get home. These wings are excellent, and you get them whole or halved. The wings are a must-try; they are some of the best in the area! I recommend you call ahead, but if you don't, there is a seating area where you can wait. I will be back! Happy Yelping!
