    We visited friends in Kenosha for a couple days and had the opportunity to eat some pretty good meals while we were there. Six adults - Tuesday night - in December. It was dinner time and the place was pretty crowded. Everything we ordered was tasty and filling. The restaurant was clean and our service was fine. We actually found the closest Mission to our house not too long ago and had lunch.

    Very cool place. Photos of Veterans, military, firefighters, police, honoring their service on the walls all around the restaurant. Very respectfully displayed. Food was great! We shared a two meat platter with brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, and cornbread. It was all fantastic! Brisket and pulled pork were both moist and flavorful. I like my bbq with no sauce. To me, that's telling how good the meat is. If you use sauce, you just covers up the taste of the meat. Now this is just my opinion. My wife on the other hand likes a little sauce. There are six different sauce options on the table. I didn't taste any of them. My wife liked the Smoky Mountain sauce. She said it was sweet with a hint of smoke. Mission BBQ in Kenosha, Wisconsin is really good and I feel you get plenty of food for your money. We'll definitely be back.

    Ribs, smoky mountain bbq sauce, cornbread and coleslaw.

    The service is fast, pricing is good especially for what you're getting. I only like my ribs falling off the bone and they always are here! The coleslaw is good with a decent crunch. Cornbread is a little dry but that happens in large batches. I always take it home to eat because I like to wear gloves lol

    Pulled chicken sandwich

    My family and I love this place! The food is delicious too but, I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the other aspects. Kenosha establishments have gone down hill a lot. Mission BBQ has proven that excellent service and cleanliness still matters. It's clean, the gentleman Pete, is on top of it and keeps everything in the dining area looking great. The front counter people are awesome. Thank you for being amazing! 10/10 recommend!

    Food is good, but the portions are pitiful. I will never, ever again pay $16 for pulled chicken? I don't even think a child could eat that portion and not still feel hungry. Staff was great. Very friendly, and attentive. I know it's not their fault the prices are so steep, but I will find places elsewhere to get bbq for less.

    We came in super hungry and I really, really wanted to love the place. Very patriotic decor in and out. Self service. But the food was just ok: Brisket wet - somewhat bland. I didn't know what the carb count was in all the 6 different sauces on the table so I skipped them. Hubby said they were ok. Now here was something special - their NC vinegar was da bomb! This saved the meal. Baby back ribs 5 - we got 6 hehe thanks. Opposite of the brisket, this was too salty. I wish they could find a happy medium. Cornbread - yummy, though since I'm on keto, I only had 2 bites. Overall, ok. Wouldn't go out of my way to revisit.

    Pulled pork, and pick 2: brisket & ribs

    I am a HUGE BBQ fan, but I do not have the patience to do it myself. I have driven past Mission BBQ a few times, so I finally decided to do a take-out order to sample a bunch of stuff to see what they are all about. What I ordered: The pulled pork plate with a side of coleslaw and brisket baked beans - that plate also comes with complimentary corn bread. Honestly, not the best pulled pork I've ever had. I honestly prefer my own, but it may have been a little dry since it was take out as opposed to fresh. The cornbread is nothing too special, but good. Coleslaw was fine. The first bite of the baked beans was good, but there was far too much BBQ sauce and not nearly enough brisket in them. What my boyfriend ordered: MUCH BETTER. He got the pick 2 meats with the brisket (yummy) and the ribs (HOLY FALL OF THE BONE, MOIST, MAGICAL GOODNESS!) He also got the mac & cheese (did NOT disappoint) and the seasonal mashed potatoes (also a nice change of pace to the typical french fry option.) They also have their own BBQ sauces, and the to go order came with a little cup and stickers to describe their different sauces. In order of how good they were: 1. unlabeled, but their hot BBQ sauce - THE BEST. 2. Memphis Belle - couldn't really put a finger on it, but classic and delicious. 3. Tupelo Honey Hot - fun to have a sweet one in there that's balanced with the spiciness. 4. Smoky Mountain - not bad, but WAYYY to smoky - really only needed 1 drop, otherwise it's overwhelming. 5. Texas Twang - it's just A1 steak sauce flavored. Dessert: We also ordered their peach cobbler which I feel like is hard to find in the midwest, so it was a nice treat. Definitely met standards from times I've eaten peach cobbler in Atlanta, Georgia. There was enough food that we had leftovers. We decided to use our own fresh buns to make mixed meat sandwiches with BBQ sauce and coleslaw on top the next day, and they honestly were almost better that way and reheated/served piping hot! I would go there again and dine in for their ribs alone!

    The food is so good!!! The meat is smoky and tender. I really love the cole slaw and potato salad sides and the corn bread is moist. The employees are friendly and helpful. It's a fun atmosphere! If it was not $$$ I'd eat here everyday!

    Last May I hired a caterer for our 55th High School reunion. Three weeks ago I called to add another item to the menu. They told me they had not heard from me in two weeks and thought I hired someone else!!. They said they couldn't do the event. I said they had to! They said ok but now I didn't trust them. The next day I hired Mission Barbeque. Ashley and Veronica were so wonderful. I was so upset. They helped me figure everything out. On the 30th of September they set up our room free of charge, served tons of beautiful food and cleaned everything up. We had leftovers and Steph took everything to Joe at the Shalom House that night. It was beautiful. I recommend the sliders, sausages, meatballs, caprese skewers and cheeses.

    Meat sampler with brisket and turkey

    I don't give 1 star reviews often, but this restaurant really missed the mark. How it has such good reviews? It must be rigged or I had an oddly bad experience. We were greeted by friendly employees. When they found out it was our first time dining at Mission, one employee went into a great deal of detail on how each dish is made, making it sound like a local mom and pop restaurant. We later found out it is a chain with 150+ locations. To say the food was underwhelming would be an understatement. My boyfriend ordered a meat sampler and the portion size looked very small. The platter was basically empty. His turkey looked very dry, only salvageable by dousing it in barbecue sauces. I ordered my brisket lean, but it was beyond dry and flavorless. Some pieces were even hard. The only saving grace was the assortment of 7 barbecue sauces to try. Although they looked like they had been sitting out all day and not refreshed so a bit unsanitary. The mac and cheese was yet again underwhelming. The sauce was thin and had a weird flavor profile, and was not particularly cheesy. The cornbread was basic. To top it off, Diet Coke came out of the fountain machine as mainly seltzer water. At almost $40 for 2 people to dine in, I would NOT recommend coming here.

    This is the awesome gentleman who helped us and checked on our dining experience as well as kept the place clean.

    Great service. Food was delicious! I would go here again. Catfish was seasoned to taste.read more

    I first started going to Hillary's when I lived in North Chicago, 1970! Hillary's was also the…read morechoice of many of the Abbott Labs employees. If someone knew you were going out to Hillary's there were multiple orders to pick-up. When I moved to Kenosha, we would ride down to Waukegan and pickup orders. The service was not the same, but the food was on point. I have had ribs, rib-tips and catfish. When Hillary's opened in Kenosha, I was really glad because I wouldn't have to go to Illinois. The food now was just "okay", nothing to brag about, so I would occasionally go back to Waukegan and Zion. For the past few 5 years or more, I eat sporadically from Hillary's, but am always on the lookout for some "delicious" ribs. The quality of the ribs has sunk so low, that the only good part is the sauce. Ever so often I would get a decent meal, but it so seldom, that I have chosen not to go, if there is anywhere else I can go to. Finally, my husband and I ordered a small rib tips order; one with hot sauce and the other, with mild sauce. We didn't expect much, and we were not dissapointed. The very first piece was amazingly chewy. And each piece afterwards was worse. I thought if I let it sit in the sauce for awhile, the pieces would soften up. That did not happen. My husband eventually tossed his order. I tried to eat mine, but it was like chewing on leather, merely an exercise for your jaws. I am done! And this saddens me because I was there when Hillary first started selling barbecue out of his garage. He's no longer with us, and the business bearing his name is a disgrace.
