    Pulled pork, brisket and Mac and cheese
    January C.

    Overall want too impressed. Counters service- barely made eye contact...it was HOT in the restaurant but the location was clean. The Mac and cheese was great but editing else was pretty standard. Good place to go if it's not busy and you don't feel like waiting, but wouldn't be my first choice for barbecue with so many other options in the valley.

    Walk up order and pick up counter, listen carefully for name to be called as it could get a little loud with customer chatter. Self serve for drinks and utensils. We got the baked potato special, that is offered occasionally, and was loaded with brisket, chives, bacon and sour cream. This thing was HUGE, took up the entire plate. The service was great and was constantly checked on to make sure all was well. Being a military family, it was great to see all branches, first responders (local and out of state) patches displayed throughout the restaurant. We will return.

    Today I was hungry stopped here for lunch with sister so disappointed. Bun cold, meats so dry; burger thick & dry, turkey yucky slices, coleslaw not a good sour taste. Scout did refund the burger & we left.

    The service here is consistently great which I appreciate however, the heavily seasoned shrimp suggest salt just might be the standard. The bird had a nice flavor and was super moist I enjoyed it. I do wish they would not have put the cornbread in the same box because it was mushy and wet from the chicken when I got home which is 5 minutes away.

    Brisket sandwich with fries and Maggie's Mac & Cheese
    Jacqui C.

    It's been a while since we've had BBQ and I found Mission BBQ during a random online search, which had opened just recently. It sits right on the corner of Stephanie and Warm Springs, making it incredibly easy to access. I wanted to do dine in originally, but I was so tired that night that I chose takeout instead. We both ordered sandwiches for ourselves. I got the pulled chicken sandwich and my LTP got the brisket sandwich with fries on the side. As an extra side, we both got Maggie's mac and cheese. We got there about an hour before closing, where it was still a little busy and people were still coming in. But it didn't take too long for our food to come out. The smell of the food was so good that we immediately knew that we were going to enjoy it even before getting home. They have their own truck sitting outside in the parking lot, like those trucks you see in the military, but I'm not sure if it's drivable or not. My pulled chicken sandwich was tender and a decent size. If I had added BBQ sauce to it, it would've been extra tasty but also a little messy. My LTP said that he enjoyed his brisket sandwich, and I'm not sure who Maggie is, but her mac and cheese was delicious and flavorful. It really fit in quite well with both of our sandwiches. Check out Mission BBQ if you're looking for some quality flavored sandwiches among other BBQ items!

    First time at mission Bbq because it seems my husband is in search of a great bbq restaurant. Parking was good. We went to the counter to order. The menu is on the wall behind the counter. I felt rushed and didn't fully understand it. I ordered the bbq shrimp then he hands me a big cup and asked me what sides I wanted. I told him I normally drink water and he said it comes with it. He also said that the sides came with it too. Same with my husband and son. I paid the bill and we found a table. They brought our food when it was ready. I'm looking at the receipt then the menu board in total confusion. Anyway I have figured it out. Nothing comes with the meats that you order. You can add XL and get sides and a drink. The employee behind the counter was not helpful at all even after I explained that it was our first time there. Honestly I felt deceived. The food was okay but nothing to get excited about. This hasn't ended the search for that great bbq restaurant.

    To go!
    Debbie G.

    Ordered to go and the store really seems to have gotten into a good grove. The portion sizes feel commensurate with the prices, plus sides taste better and less salty. The service has always been friendly and store is clean. Easy parking and access off Stephanie. I love they include corn bread with the food and it tastes fresh and light. Mac and cheese is hearty and has texture. Sweet tea has a hint of sweetness and seems recently brewed. Food was packed well and stayed warm on the way home.

    I finally chose to accept it. Mission BBQ is a chain that took over the Henderson spot once occupied by Sweet Tomatoes. Easily seen on the southwest corner of Stephanie and Warm Springs, this spot does seem to give some legitimacy to Henderson's quiet BBQ scene. Order at the counter, and go with a friend or two if you wanna try all the proteins. My friend and I each went with a 3 Meat Sampler ($21.29) and got almost everything. You can actually order sides a la carte, but if you're going for a drink (I loved making an Arnold Palmer with their tea and lemonade available in bubblers), then an XL Combo ($6.00) or XXL Combo ($8.75) are cost-effective. The smoked meats range from really good to pulled pork. Skip that pulled pork if you can. It's a little tough, kinda dry, and lacks fat. My ranking of the rest of what I tried are, best to not as great, moist brisket, then surprisingly pulled chicken, then lean brisket, turkey, and jalapeño & cheese sausage. The pulled chicken and turkey are both surprisingly moist, so they both work. The moist brisket is definitely much more moist than the dry, which is passable if you haven't had really great smoked brisket. The sausage is juicy but I'm a little biased against spicy things. The smoke is a little on the subtle side overall but is definitely present. Playing with sauce-meat combos or multiple sauces is the real minigame of the meal. Most of the sauces are at the tables but some are only on the condiment "toolbox" between the two fountains and bubblers. Just try them all and you'll probably find some that are best suited for either your overall taste or each individual meat; my favorites ended up being KC Classic, Georgian Mustard (in a glass bottle), and South Carolina Zing (on the toolbox). We tried a few sides between the two of us. The included corn bread wasn't at the peak of ideal moisture content but worked for me. The Cold Slaw sat somewhere between creamy and vinegary, and I thought it was fine but not very impressive. The Kickin' Collard Greens were lighter than I expected and had a nice twist with the presence of tomato pieces. The Maggie's Mac-N-Cheese was cheesy and rich. And the Cherry Cheesecake, a seasonal sweet that does qualify as a side, feels oddly deconstructed then reconstructed, with some sorta whipped body sandwiched between graham cracker crumble and maraschino cherries. It still tasted solid enough though. I can see myself coming back to Mission BBQ on occasion if the BBQ bug bites me. It's solid enough for Henderson, the music was tolerable, and the decor celebrating military and first responders is probably a plus or neutral.

    First let me say the customer service was outstanding. Everyone we came in contact with was incredibly friendly and eager to help. Hard to come by. The food was actually really good too. We enjoyed everything we ordered. I would say the only slight negative comment was that the chicken breast was a little dry, but chicken breast is always dry. Food taste was delicious. Ambience was fast casual as you would expect fir a bbq joint. Would definately go back.

    Brisket with Mac and cheese, fries and cornbread
    Angela C.

    Food was great! Very generous portions. It also came out quick. The place is packed and I really like how they dedicate everything to military/police and service members in general, kinda cool. They have lots of sauce options on the tables. Chicken was tender which is good cuz it can easily be dried out sometimes. I love my fries and theirs are delicious. There's lots of space inside and big booths and tables. Great location if you're looking to grab bbq for lunch or dinner!

    Brisket- good fat cap and a nice bark
    R. L.

    I've traveled all over the country having barbecue and this place did a pretty darn good job. The brisket had a good bark and a nice fat cap, it had good flavor, didn't see the smoke ring that I would usually expect to see but I got there about 15 minutes before close so for being the end of the day I was impressed. The sausage was a bit boring. The pulled pork had good flavor, and they have six different sauces you can try.

    Delicious beef jerky
    Shatilla P.

    Nice interior. The food is kinda pricey and some items are kinda salty. The service is very good though. They also have some great beef jerky. I suggest giving it a try. The green beans were not delicious and the bacon tasted old and not fresh. Also the cornbread was quite dry. Overall this place is okay.

    Moist Brisket
    Christina F.

    This is a very cool place that everyone is sleeping on! My husband took me here for lunch one day and let me tell you there's nothing that I haven't tried here that I do not like! For the gluten intolerant, all the meats are GF, just beware of the sauces. There are many sides to choose from and bottled drinks. You can even try multiple meats in one plate. My favorite so far is the brisket

Apparently they have never experienced a Basque restaurant, where you sit with complete strangers and then leave as friends. Any way, seating is the same. The food was good this time with the exception of the tomatoes, they seemed mushy like were stored to cold or semi frozen along their journey. Otherwise the rest of the salad seemed fresh. Lettuce was crisp, onions and cucumbers were fresh, just not the tomatoes. But in their defense, they normally are. I am always torn in making decisions when looking at the menu, as they have a lot of great items to choose from. I still recommend this place.

That's considerably more than we usually spend at other high quality counter service Greek and Mediterranean restaurants around town. The food was excellent, and we would definitely return, just probably more sparingly because of the cost and the 45 minute drive from our house. They also have a location closer to us in Centennial that we'll likely check out. Overall, this is a solid restaurant that's absolutely worth a visit. Just keep an eye on the total because the bill adds up quickly.
