We met family at Mission BBQ for a belated Mother's Day lunch. We love Mission BBQ and everything they have on the menu!! Today I ordered the Chopped Brisket sandwich with fries. As always it was delicious! The best way to describe this sandwich is it's like a sloppy Joe but with chopped brisket. One of favorites here is the hamburger. It's cooked so different than any other place that has burgers. I recommend you try it. Ask for it smoked or grilled (medium well) with everything on it. Oh my gosh it's good! read more

Updating my review- the staff has always been friendly, but the food quality has dropped to the point where I don't expect to be going back. Bbq should absolutely not be dry, but it was the last few times. read more

Another fantastic meal at Mission, different location, same great food, with one added plus, ALABAMA WHITE SAUCE!!! The NC location in Fayetteville did not have AWS!!! I LOVE that stuff! Very good meal. read more

Stopped in today for a late lunch or early dinner (depending on how you want to classify it) at this stand alone chain barbecue spot located off the intersection of Blanding Boulevard and Youngerman Road. When I arrived, the restaurant was deserted bc of the odd time I came. All the tables (4 and 6 tops with chair and booths) were open and the staff was busy stocking the place. I was immediately greeted by the young lady running the register and I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich (moist) with the seasonal cheesy baked potatoes and a drink. The young lady then transitioned to prepping my meal while I got my drink from a very cantankerous ice machine and drink station (Pepsi products - Diet Dr Pepper bc the Pepsi Zero was out). I did have to work around a very kind employee who was restocking the soda area and had no idea why the ice machine was so uncooperative. Upon receiving my meal, the brisket looked like it had been chopped but on closer inspection, it was shredding after being cut (not exactly what you look for in sliced brisket). I grabbed a table which already had paper towels and barbecue sauces on it (all tables do) and dressed my sandwich with some sauce. They provide a variety of regional sauces with fun names like Texas Twang and Alabama Honey Heat. I opted for a mixture of sauces and dug in bc I was starving. The sandwich was good and the brisket was tender, I inhaled it. The cheesy potatoes were great with flavors of sour cream and cheddar cheese - kind of a cross between mashed potatoes and home fries. All in all, a good meal. Recommend it for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

Mission BBQ - Sliced Brisket Sandwich (no sauce yet) and cheesy potatoes - American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Amazing place! One of the best customer service oriented and hospitable places that I've ever beem. We were first timers and they treated us so well from sampling the meats to providing a free dessert to first timers. The service was top notch and loved the ambiance and how they celebrate service members. The food was also great and bang for your buck! We tried the brisket and the pulled chicken..full of flavor and loved the variety of BBQ sauces! Definitely a must for us and will be going back! read more

I was skeptical to come here because I'd tried at least 2 other BBQ places in Middleburg that had really disappointed me. We tried this place, I ordered the 3 meat lunch where you can choose your own meats. I chose the pulled pork, the turkey and the brisket. Everything was delicious but they knocked the brisket out of the park! Brisket is one of my top 5 fav foods and this was the best brisket I've ever put in my mouth. The crust on it alone had my head swimming. I'm still dreaming about that brisket. My husband said now he needs a to make a brisket again because he doesn't need his wife dreaming of another man's brisket lmao. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Mission BBQ - 3 meat lunch pulled pork, brisket, turkey, collard greens, cornbread - American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Very solid BBQ spot for a quick fix. First time trying Mission BBQ and had a good experience. 3 meat plus 1 side baby back rib and 2 sides and a drink was roughly $33 as of September 2024. Got the jalapeño sausage, brisket and turkey. I thought the sausage and turkey were the highlight. The rib was solid but size was small. Not sure if Id get that again for the price. Sides were good and variety of bbq sauce was a huge plus. Manager checked in on people including our table and his action to see how things were and even offering to clean finished treys were appreciated. Great service. Nice vibe. read more

I used their catering delivery service for a lunch and called the store to place the order. It was so nice having someone to talk to and help out. They go a step above by then not only delivering the catering but Ashley also set up the whole speed in minutes for us! She gave me a brief overview confirming my order as well. Food was spectacular! Second time using them and will continue to partner together. read more

Bbq is always great and the service is always friendly. Only downside is every time we go it is freezing cold inside. Even if it's cold outside they still have the ac running so make sure you bring a jacket! read more

Both the food and the service exceeded my expectations. Amoi was very friendly and made us feel right at home. I didn't take any photos but ordered a plate of brisket, less fatty, and a chopped brisket sandwich with fries and Mac and cheese. Seasoned well and very filling with just enough room left for some cherry cheesecake! Would highly recommend read more

Lily was so friendly! Our first visit, great location and clean restaurant. The chopped brisket was delicious and we chose the "Baja" bbq sauce. The Mac and cheese was fresh and savory. The potato salad was also very good that it didn't make the picture because we ate it so fast! Lol. Thank you for a great dinner! read more

Our Red Hat chapter chose to go to Mission BBQ for our November meeting. It was quite an adventure for a bunch of elderly ladies! There were both bench seats and chairs but each of us found a suitable "seat." There are longer "tables" when shorter ones are pulled together, so we were able to sit as a group. You go up to the counter to order and then listen for your name to be called. Sometimes it was hard to hear--the dining room fills up quickly after opening and it has a high ceiling so sounds echo. Of course, there were lots of veterans there and promptly at Noon, every one in the restaurant stood (if able) to sing the National Anthem. The decor is totally military-oriented with all branches represented. The counter staff was very friendly and helpful and the hostess helped us get our tables together. We enjoyed our outing! read more

Above average food. Very military based theme in a complimentary way. Good food at reasonable prices. Nothing fancy just good food and service read more

Service was amazing - staff clearly enjoy their jobs which is nice to see these days. Food was great. Been to bbq all over the country and this was as good as any I've been to, even most popular restaurants in Texas. Of course the sauce is critical to soft tender meats and I liked their honey heat the best personally although there's a secret sauce behind the counter that's amazing as well - more like an aioli. Sides were great - Mac and cheese was home baked, green beans with bacon in them and the best cornbread I've had Ended with a sweet potato dessert that was amazing, just like pumpkin pie. The manager said they always get fresh food and cook within a day, no storage and no microwave and I thought it showed in the food quality. Can't believe there isn't a line out the door all the time. read more

The other day I went to go get some food and I was thinking about what sides I wanted to get with my brisket and I was thinking about the collard greens and I was talking to the person at the counter, Jacob and he was telling me they are pretty good but I told him I would just try them next time. So I went with the Mac n cheese ad my side and after I paid and went to go get my food Jacob had gave me a side of the collard greens for free so I didn't have to wait until next time to try them, it was very thoughtful of him to do that and I went back and gave him a cash tip after I was done eating since he went out of his way. Overall it was a great experience I will definitely be going again this week and getting the collard greens this time because they were so good. read more

We love Mission BBQ. However, something happened today that just made me realize how their customer service is above anything I've seen. We had a little hiccup with our lunch, no worries...we spoke with Emily and she fixed the problem and was so wonderful, helpful, and professional. Hiccups are going to occur in a customer service place, however, the way it is handled, tells you soo much about the business. read more

This by far has been the best BBQ I have found in our area. I love that they support our military and emergency workers and that they support the community. All of the pictures and patches from their customers on the walls are a wonderful tribute to this community. And Daisy, wow, such great customer service, so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Their food, services, support for military fire fighters and police is consistent and appreciated.

I heard great things about this place so decided to try, I was a little disappointed to be honest. The food was okay, nothing spectacular. my favorite item there was the collard greens. The Mac n cheese was ok, I've had better, the chicken was cooked to perfection. Literally fall off the bone, the taste just wasn't there. I used every single BBQ sauce because they have so many (like 6) they were all just ok.... I would think with all the different sauces I would LOVE as least 1 but I didn't get that here. Honestly I probably won't go back if I'm looking for a good BBQ. They did give free sweet potato pie for veterans which was a nice touch being that it's filled with military decor. I loved that aspect of it. read more

When visiting this Mission BBQ location, we are always greeted with a smile, patience, and a helping hand. We can tell that the staff love what they do, especially making the dining experience memorable for many. Every meal we have eaten here has been hot, the presentation is perfect, and tastes amazing. I especially love the way they honor so many branches in the military and local first responders. It's a pleasant place to enjoy a good meal. We will continue to choose this location again and again. We especially like getting to know the staff by name. I work hard for my money and I know coming here is my money well spent. read more

Wow. This place is special. First time visiting. If you're not a supporter of law enforcement, first responders and the American military, this place is not for you. It has more military and first responder decorum and memorabilia than most base establishments I've seen in 28 years in the Navy. Every day at Noon, they stop everything and everyone, staff and patrons, stand to the National Anthem. The staff is outstanding and the food is great! Must go! read more

The food was good. Make sure you ask for military discount. That have peach cobbler, yum yum! Service was okay. Military decor.

My friends birthday is tomorrow so her brother picked up dinner for us and her choice was Mission BBQ. This was my first try and now I am a new fan. I ordered the brisket meal with baked beans and banana pudding. The brisket was tender, juicy and much to my liking with a nice smoky flavor! I was disappointed they did not offer a mustard vinegar BBQ sauce as it is simply my favorite:( I settled for dipping my brisket in BBQ sauce. The baked beans were divine. They were slow cooked with some brisket which packed more flavor than your average baked beans. I tasted the green beans which I could tell were also slow cooked, soft and very good! And the seasonal potato salad was creamy and good as well. The banana pudding was delightful. I am not a fan of whipped cream, but the pudding underneath was ooey gooey goodness! I look forward to trying some new menu items soon! read more

Mission BBQ - Lovely brisket meal! - American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Honestly, we tried Mission BBQ because the Maggianos next door had a 50 minute wait. My hubs and I love bbq (ribs are his thing) and I judge ALL barbecue against Shorty's in South Florida; there is NO comparison to Shorty's. But Mission was really good. (And the slaw was Nearly as good as Shorty's.) He said the ribs were 1st rate, we both found the baked beans extremely good, and the offering of sauces allowed us to choose favorites. (None of the sauces rank as sublime as Shorty's traditional. But I digress.) I had the steak--a bbq'd steak? yes! Garnished with an herbed butter, served with sweet cornbread, was Really great. When we told them it was our first time in, they gave us generous samples of Mac-n-cheese and collards (perfectly seasoned) to try. AND a free blueberry cobbler for desert. Also, the celebration of service personnel ambiance goes a long way with us. They're no Shorty's but who is? read more

This place was dead at 3 o'clock on a Tuesday and after I order, he waits 5 minutes to get my food ready. after ordering jalapeño and cheddar sausage, I get served what taste and look like gas station beef jerkey sticks. Place sucks chode read more

Excellent service, great chicken barbecue salad. Chopped Chicken was very juicy and flavorful. Great cornbread.

Mission BBQ is an uber-patriotic barbecue chain that actually surprised us at how good it was. We arrived not too long after opening on a Sunday just in time for the National Anthem at the strike of noon. Turns out that is a daily event. After that pause, the line moved quickly and we ordered. After ordering, the drinks are self-serve and you seat yourself and listen for your name to be called. It was pretty quick. My husband ordered the brisket sandwich and two sides: macaroni & cheese and potato salad. I had the two meat platter (brisket and jalapeño & cheese sausage) and macaroni & cheese (a piece of cornbread comes with the platter). First off, that brisket was delicious, both alone and on the sandwich. It's available in "moist" or "lean", we both chose moist and were very happy with it. The jalapeño & cheese sausage was just what I hoped for, good bite on the casing and tender, full of jalapeños and cheese. I shared with my husband and he loved it too. The mac & cheese was pretty good. (Better than some other BBQ places in town.) Baked, with a crumb topping and dark brown cheese bits that a lot of us love. The potato salad was different than we expected, but a really nice taste. Cornbread was a bit dry, but one of the young ladies walking the floor helping customers brought us some butter which perked it up. They offer six custom sauces based on southern states on the table. My husband tried all and agreed with me, the Florida Gator Bite was the best. I was saddened at first that there wasn't a mustard based sauce (I dislike tomato based bbq sauces) but I really, really liked the Gator Bite with it's spicy, citrusy tang. Now that brisket was very flavorful and didn't need a condiment, but adding the sauce was like adding icing to a super moist cupcake. You don't need it, but it just adds that extra OOMPH. Overall, we left very satisfied with our meal - and very full too. It doesn't look like much food in the pictures, but it is very filling. read more

Wow! What a great experience. The food is great and the staff even better. The sausage is the best I've had since moving here from Tx 7 months ago. The turkey was moist and seasoned well (no salty like other places). They have 6 sauces on the table and they are good. My favorite was the Mountan one. Mac & cheese is good, green beans too. I really liked the baked beans - perfect balance of flavors and brown sugar. They put chopped brisket in there too! A nice suprize. If it's your first time there - tell them!!!! You will be amazed at what happens - it's delicious. read more

It's "Free Chow" on your birthday for members of the Birthday Brigade (easy to sign up) so we went to Mission BBQ this afternoon for our free sandwiches. Got the Brisket and Pulled Pork and was not disappointed at all. We did a To Go with plans of enjoying our food at home but my daughter couldn't wait because the smell of the sandwiches in the car was so good she had to eat hers right away. Their mission: to serve the most authentic, mouth-watering all-American food that's done right. I say they have definitely met their mission! The restaurant was not only super clean, the staff really nice and the food delicious but the place is so inspiring as it recognizes and supports the men and women in uniform, veterans, local police officers, firefighters and first responders. Wie will definitely come back! read more

Hate to do this to this patriotic group and I'm a former Marine... but? Asking for a donation still? For the war on terrorism? So, baby back ribs and my wife had the brisket ribs were fatty and tasteless. Brisket was dried out. Fries were cold and my potato salad was very salty. Staff? Was friendly I could have gone to sonny's BBQ and had a served dinner for the amount of money I paid here for practically not much food. Extra for sides? Terrible Well I tried it even though a few people told me they were not happy eating there. Most don't like and neither do I the waiting in line for your meal ......Try better folks read more

Brisket is so dry but everything else is spot on. Mainly the sauces. The ribs are really the only menu that is good

OMG, I have never had such exceptional service as I had today! Matt and Michelle were super helpful and friendly from the time we entered the restaurant to the time we left. This was my first time ever visiting a Mission BBQ and it will not be my last! I had the turkey/string beans/bake beans combo. They gave me a generous portion of slaw, collards (w/ cornbread), and mac & cheese to sample (who does that, lol) The food was on par and cooked to delight the taste buds! My friend and I were celebrating our birthdays and they gave us a complementary blueberry cobbler that was so good...the crust was the buttery best! This was a very pleasant dinning experience! read more

I would like to thank the server who helped make my mother happy on 6/5/24 during lunchtime. There was no issue on Mission BBQ's side, but the girl so kindly brought my mom a different sandwich. And she was sincere when she said it was no problem. I love this business. I've been to two different ones a few times and can't wait for the one in my town to open! I couldn't pick which is better- food or service. They are equally great. But the ambiance is very important and greatly appreciated. Clearly their "mission" is seen. read more

I first encountered Mission bbq in Roanoke. A very positive experience. When I learned a Mission was just off of a Blanding, I packed the fam up and hoped for a repeat. Amazingly, it was! Service that was caring and appreciative with food to match. As I grade a bbq joint on its brisket, it's tops! Fork tender and juicy! The sides are not just decorative but held their own. Cole slaw, beans both green and baked. Corn bread comes with and is sweet and, as the kids put it, like cake. Sauces are on the table with a roll of paper towels. No complaints and already fielding return demands, we will be back! read more
