    Moist brisket with mac and cheese and corn bread.
    Randy G.

    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

    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.

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

    I've been to my fair share of BBQ places across the nation and this one stood out. We had the 3 meat sampler and had the Brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeño sausage. For sides we had the Cheesy mashed potato's, Mac n cheese, baked beans, and green beans. Let me tell you, the meat was so tender and flavorful even without the assortment of 6 sauces. The sides were some of the best I think I've ever had. The green beans were my absolute favorite. We were greeted by an amazing staff who was super friendly and helpful. Ashley and Douglas made our experience a memorable one with how kind they were. You can tell these people take pride in where they work. On top of everything else, this place was CLEAN! One of my biggest pet peeves for restaurants/establishments and they did awesome. Well deserving of 5 stars. I'll make sure to visit this place and bring others in the future.

    Good food, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere. Lindsey, Kelvin and Mel make the Best Mojitos!!read more

    I want to start by saying that our server Sydney P was excellent. She was friendly, checked on us…read moreoften and had our experience been based on that- it would have been 5 stars! Unfortunately, that is not usually the case with service at El Camino. My husband and I had not gone back in a couple of years after they opened because of consistently bad and rude service. Their food was fine but even the best food isn't good paired with a bad overall experience. We decided to give them another try a few months ago and even though the service was a little better- it wasn't worth keeping them on our weekly rotation. My husband, daughter and I had gone there for dinner on Tuesday and as I said had a wonderful server. Both my daughter and I have had their steak tacos (filet and skirt), even though the flavor was fine, they leave the pieces SO LARGE that you chew forever on a bite of taco. This is not to mention that the tortilla does not hold up well to bites into these large clunky pieces. Because of this, I started ordering the Barbacoa tacos since that is shredded beef. However, my daughter doesn't like Barbacoa so she requested the cooks cut the meat smaller. The food came out and the pieces of steak were as big as ever. When I say that this could be a choking hazard for the best of eaters (let's forget about seniors, children, or people that may have dental issues) I mean these pieces are nearly the size of dice. We asked for a steak knife so that my daughter could finish prepping her own food (though she is not an employee of El Camino, apparently those who get paid to cook there, don't have to accommodate special requests of using their chef knives to cut steak before putting in tacos. As I watched her spend about 10 minutes deconstructing 2 of her 3 tacos and cutting up the meat and putting them back together (as it was getting cold), I asked for a manager. Nick came over to our table with a strange attitude. I said "Are you the manager?", as he did not introduce himself...at all!, he said "yes". I started by explaining that we asked for the meat to be cut smaller. He then starts to get defensive and argumentative saying how "everyone loves that dish", "everyone orders that dish", "There are NEVER any complaints about that dish". I had to interrupt him to explain that we were NOT complaining about the dish but the prep of the meat. He then says "Maybe that dish isn't for you". I said "So NONE of the steak taco dishes are for us because not only our request for safe size pieces was not accomodated but you are telling me that we take it or leave it???" He continued to talk over me and arguing until my daughter (who is very quiet and laid back) got mad and started explaining to him that he shouldn't be talking to his customers that way. Her and her husband order to go often and she explained that at home, she deconstructs her tacos, takes kitchen shears to cut the meat and then has to put them in the microwave to warm them up. Just because people don't complain doesn't mean they aren't unhappy about it. Instead of Nick listening and understanding what we were trying to do, he continued to talk over my daughter, and then snaps at her with "I'LL JUST TAKE IT OFF!". That set my daughter off. None of us needed nor wanted a free meal. We didn't ask for it, nor want it. We told him that. He finally asked what we wanted. I said that all I wanted was to share a suggestion of not only talking to his kitchen staff about accommodating COMPLETELY REASONABLE REQUESTS but to share with the other management our suggestion. That's it. We told him several times that we weren't complaining about the flavor, just the prep and that everything else was fine including the excellent service and that he, NICK, and NICK ALONE has ruined it for us. By the way- the ONLY way I knew his name is that I had to ASK HIM for it... We will NOT be back nor will my daughter and her husband order take out anymore. The food is fine but definitely not worth the complete disregard and disrespect of their customers! There are SO MANY better places that appreciate our business! Nick was on the right track- maybe EL CAMINO is not right for us....or anyone else.
