Awesome meal but pricey for lunch
Scott W.

Wow, looking at the reviews on Yelp you might want to turn around and run away screaming from this place, but I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt since it's a new store. I guess the Chipotle closed and now it's a Mission BBQ.... Where the hell have I been? Two coworkers and I stopped in for Friday lunch and Mission BBQ was packed full. Regardless, we were immediately greeted by staff upon entering, and when reaching the counter. They must have had 15 employees running around keeping tabs on everything, good job. We were able to score a table soon after placing our order and our food was ready in minutes. I ordered the Pulled Chicken Sandwich ($8.49), side of Green Beans ($3.34), and Coleslaw ($3.14). My total after taxes was $16.02. I have to admit, it is a bit pricy for lunch, so I am worried this may chase the regular lunch crowd away once the newness of this place wears off. FYI - They don't really offer any meal deals or combo meals, everything is a-la-cart. Eating here for me would be more of a treat once in a while as I couldn't make it a regular lunch stop. The pulled chicken sandwich was excellent and I loved the variety of BBQ sauces they offered. I tried them all and can't say that any one of them were not delicious. The coleslaw was not too sweet or too vinegary, just right and the green beans were amazing, lots of broth and bacon pieces in there too. I could just drink this stuff down, so good. Although this store was slammed, staff kept everything very clean and overall, our service was very efficient. I highly recommend stopping in to check out the new location. The food is delicious and you are helping support our community and country by supporting them.

I went to try this new location of Mission BBQ and it was good. I like the restaurant's focus on Veterans, military forces and first responders, I feel it unique and a way to honor those who serve. We placed our order and it took less than 10 minutes to get our food. Overall, the food was great. I got the sliced brisket and it was tasty. On the table, there are six types of bbq sauces, each one with unique and bold flavors. Staff was super helpful and going around asking if we needed anything and how was everything. The place is great and is not too loud. Some silly comment is that there was a lady going around the tables with sample brownies. I said oh cool we can try them and the lady completely skipped our table. She gave samples to the two tables next to us but not us. I know I know... silly complaint.

This is a newer location. It looks nice, but there isn't enough booth seating. Our order taker took her time to explain the menu to us. We ordered the dry brisket i.e. low fat. Everything comes ala cart. They don't have combo meals. We ordered a drink with one side. You have the option to order a drink with two sides for a higher cost. We liked the brisket. For some of us the bark overpowered the meat's flavor. Our favorite barbecue sauce was the Smokey flavor. As for the cost it's high for what you get.

I will start off by saying the service was top notch, hats off to y'all! The bf and I stopped in for lunch after a few recommendations... totally forgetting it is Father's Day. Holy smokes, this place was SLAMMED, not an open table to be found other that the outside patio (hard pass, way too hot for that) BUT we did notice that the turnover was moving rather quickly so we found a table by the time they called our name. We both order the brisket (50/50) lean and fatty.. Mac-n-Cheese, I had the slaw, and he had the baked beans. When I noticed they had banana pudding we both knew that was a must! So to keep the rest short and sweet; the brisket was good, it needed your choice of bbq sauce, lacked in flavor but the texture was nice. Mac-n-Cheese was amazing, creamy, cheesy, gooey, definitely will order again. The cole slaw was aiight, nothing special, wouldn't order again. The bf got the baked beans, they were solid! Both platters served with a slice of cornbread (honestly, didn't get to try it bc we were both too stuffed, it's in my to-go box). Last but not least the banana pudding... DELICIOUS! Light and airy, sweet and crunchy, the perfect bit of fresh bananas. Def recommend, hoping to try the cobbler next! Will we be back? YES! So many more options to try off the menu. 4 stars you ask...? 4 stars because I've definitely eaten 5 star quality bbq and I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants. But if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in, you won't be disappointed!

My husband and I came to the beach from Orlando for the day and wanted some barbecue for dinner. We…read moredecided to try Graham's Smokehouse and we are so glad we did! Our server, Jordan, was an absolute delight and very efficient. We had the barbecue chicken and the tri-tips...really delicious and generous portions. Prices were quite reasonable. Loved the BBQ sauces too (I am a picky BBQ sauce girl) It is a cute little place with lots of fun things on the walls. Really appreciated how clean everything was! We will definitely return here for barbecue in the future.

I would say that its about Sonnys quality maybe even a touch better. I ordered the half rack baby backs with potato salad, mac n cheese, and garlic bread. The mac n cheese was the weakest dish on the plate, the cheese had absolutely no taste. The potato salad tasted store bought. Not Publix but maybe Walmart mustard style. The tiny piece of garlic toast was tasty. The ribs were very tender but half leaned towards the fattier side. I like some fat on my baby backs but these had just to much fat on them. Fall off the bone tasty tender on the better half. I did like the sauces they had. I will be back to to try their spare ribs.

Their brisket is smoky, juicy, tender. I love starting out with a moink, which is a flavorful meatball wrapped in bacon and BBQ sauce. All of the sides I've tried (baked beans, mac 'n cheese, corn casserole, potato salad) have been incredible too. Go early if you can, so they don't run out of stuff before you get there

I went all out to give her a true taste of their delicious offerings. 2 Moinks, an entire order of fried green tomatoes and fried banana peppers. The moinks lasted about 2 seconds with the both of us rolling our eyes heavenward while savoring each bite. My sister got the house salad with brisket and I got the pulled pork plate with cornbread and two sides (yes, thank you Jesus for those TWO sides!) which consisted of their corn casserole and broccoli rice casserole. Service was surprisingly fast. Refills, fast service, the nicest waitress on the planet too! Jennifer was her name. We remembered easily because my sister's name is also Jennifer! Everything was so good that my sister says she's bringing her husband to try them because what country boy doesn't like good home cooking and smoked meat? I'm taking most of the fried banana peppers and fried green tomatoes and surprising my husband with them. He'll either thank me or be jealous of where we went! If you haven't at least tried Artman's yet, you are doing yourself a huge injustice!!
