came in yesterday because I was craving brisket. Awesome job Jeff, Lindsay, Van Kirk, Marsha and Sebastian and Ivan. Food was awesome and when I got to work all fellow officers smelled my food and wanted Mission so bad. I didn't share lol! too selfish and very hungry. Was good to catch up on old and new memories. See you soon. read more

Good food and excellent service. Very friendly staff. Clean and organized. They play the National Anthem daily at noon.

I had lunch at Mission BBQ. I dined inside the restaurant. The service was friendly, fast and just really good. The inside of the restaurant was clean, well organized, and decorated as you would expect a business that works hard for veterans. The food was a bit underwhelming. I had a pulled chicken sandwich. The chicken was barely warm / cool. I expected it to be hot. The bun was something you'd buy at the grocery store. The fries were mostly overcooked and mehh. The sauces on the table were good. read more

I was in there yesterday and was blown away with not only the food; but the kindness of the gal that was taking my order! Recently, I lost my older brother who was a very proud Veteran, and after the National Anthem, I had a total meltdown crying!! The gal taking my order, insisted I wasn't going to pay for my food!!! Her kindness was so appreciated!! Definitely will be recommending this restaurant!! read more

This was our first visit to a Mission BBQ and wow! For a two-dollar-sign restaurant on Google we did not expect this level of deliciousness. Everything we ordered was excellent, and even my picky toddler was scarfing it down. We all got some variation of a shredded meat entree with sides. The BBQ sauces were all interesting and distinct, with our favorite being the Smoky Mountain. The service was great. We had a few changes throughout the order process and the cashier took it like a champ and didn't miss a thing. For four of us, it was around $60, which is more than reasonable for the amount and quality of food. Their overall theme is support of veterans and service members. We visited on July 3 (they're closed on the 4th) so maybe the patriotism was just in the air but their uniform and helmet decor, veteran videos on the TV, and early-2000s post-911 country songs had us buying in 100%. My husband, a former Marine, even took a bumper sticker to support them all the way back to Michigan. With that being said, based on their staff and clientele, they are happy to host everyone and all feel welcome in their restaurant. Absolute 5-star experience, we will be back the next time we're in the area read more

I was in Mishawaka overnight, and looking to grab something tasty near my hotel. I yelped to find places nearby, and Mission BBQ sounded exactly like what I wanted. The sausage was the big plus here for me. The turkey was also delicious. These are my two favorite smoked meats, so I was delighted to find that I could get a two meat sampler with just these two, and add on a combo with a couple sides and drink. Perfect for me. I chose coleslaw and Mac-N-Cheese. I ordered online, and pick up was super easy. The food was delicious, and enough for two meals. I checked and don't have one near me, but I'll make sure I drop in next time I'm in Mishawaka. read more

For my first time here, just to try, I got the kid's turkey slider with fries and I tried 1 of each of their 6 sauces Fries were definitely fresh cut (not frozen) and delicious. The turkey was very good as well. My favorite sauce was the Texas Twang. More than half of their sauces are a bit too black pepper-y for my own personal liking or taste. Meaning they have that overall black pepper taste, which to me, can overpower the other flavors in the sauce. And then its a black pepper taste ending too left in the mouth. Gonna come back and just get the turkey by itself, Texas Twang sauce and work my way thru trying some of their sides! Very friendly and fast service! read more

The food, prices and atmosphere were great! The portions on the sample platter were very generous! The sandwiches are huge! The rootbeer was yummo. Had a friend's Christmas get-together here last week. We had a very good time!!! Will definitely come back again. read more

My husband's team went there for Juneteeth, and they were so awesome and treated all the soldiers. We even stopped to salute the flag. The staff was absolutely positivs energy and engaging, making sure everyone was doing well. A lot of places use military team as ads, this place really showed respect and went above and beyond! We basically covered all the meats in my family of seven. All was flavorful and moist, and the corn bread and banana pudding was awesome. Highly recommend! Secret tip, they have a kids menu not posted! So if you got tater tots, ask for the kids menu! read more

C'ynia was awesome and gave great recommendations when I was super indecisive! Completely right with getting cheesy potatoes over Mac. Food was really good like always. Best sauce is still Smokey mountain with brisket and Tupelo Honey Heat was good for the rest of the meats. Also their ranch is one of the better in the area (not the star, but was impressed!) Really love the message the place gives as well. Seen throughout the restaurant. Also super clean. Loved that the team circles around to check in on everyone as well. read more

Veteran friendly, community active, and dang good bbq. Can't say enough for this place. This place cares for the community and gives back. The service is awesome, from person at the counter to manager to everyone. And bbq, it was good!! Pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, and the Mac and cheese so good!!!!!! The ambiance in the restaurant is an old school bbq house, dedicated to those who've served. Thank you!!! read more

We stopped By after learning about Mission BBQ at a veterans event. The food and the service was outstanding!!! The staff is very friendly and they genuinely seem to care about your experience. The restaurant has a veteran and first responder theme, which is really cool. It's very special thanks to miss Marsha who is a great ambassador for the restaurant and our veterans in first responders!! read more

Excellent service, very friendly, food was amazing!! Loved the environment!! I wish there was one in Chicago. Best BBQ in Illinois... PERIOD!! read more

Tried the smoked shrimp with Alabama white sauce and it was delicious. Just the right combination of smoke and seasoning on the shrimp. Not dried out or tough. My wife had the smoked pork and it is a more than ample serving so that I had it as a leftover. Coleslaw as a side was well prepared and enough for two. Unless you're really hungry get the XL combo and different sides and share. Nice and helpful staff and a clean house. Most of the patrons are great people and friendly. Parking is limited. read more

Food is awesome and everyone who works here is so friendly and welcoming Will come back again and again.

Hubby was here once before and this time we went together. Very good food! We both ordered the 2 meat sampler. I had pulled chicken and pulled pork. The Texas sauce was my fave. Hubby had the turkey and ribs. The ribs are really good! The cornbread was decent, better with butter. I make a killer cornbread and am, admittedly, fussier about others. This is one of the better ones out there. Hubby is in love with the baked beans. I thought they were ok. Just too sweet for me. More like a chili. I did eat all of mine by using the really good French fries. The staff was courteous....and fun. It was all very clean. We will certain visit again! read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Mishawaka, Indiana

This is one of my favorite barbecue spots in South Bend. Or rather I should say misha waka indiana. There are not many to choose from, so it doesn't make it difficult. But the reason I enjoy mission , barbecue or other places does not necessarily come down to the quality of the meat or the taste of the barbecue sauce. Mission barbecue is indeed on a mission. And what they do is fully supported there veterans and first responder community. My husband who is a veteran of the United States. Military for 24 years often has events to support other veterans and mission barbecue does the catering for free. You heard me, I said that right, for free. He hasn't asked them too many times to do this because he doesn't want to spread them too thin. But the fact that they have been willing to do this at all. Really speaks to the mission that they're on. You can fully experience this when you walk inside the building. And you see all the photos and regalia from all the different branches of service as well as the police. The fire department and all the first responders are represented as the decor in the establishment. In addition to this every day , at twelve , they do a rendition of taps in honor of the memory of fallen soldiers and those who have served and gave the ultimate sacrifice. This is quite touching and it's rare when I go in there at this time. Where I don't sprout a tear or two or have a quivering lip, and I find it remarkable how many of the people stand up with their hand on their heart to honor this tradition. And if you're going through the line in ordering your food, you can tell them you're a veteran, and they usually give you a big a** brownie for free or some kind of dessert that makes your mouth water. And it's all just to say thank you to those who serve. You really can't go wrong coming in here. Even if barbecue sauce is your thing , they have a cat and sports six different kinds of barbecue sauce to pretty much satisfy anybody's palate. Oftentimes, I mix 2 or 3 to make a barbecue. Sauce slurry and that works out just fine for me. So come in, pay your respects, get respected and return and enjoy your meal. And if you're a veteran, thank you so much for your service! read more

Nice place to eat, good food, fair prices, and the service was good too, and the fact they acknowledge veterans is a big plus too!

I've been to two other mission BBQs in two other states. With that said the quality in comparison to those is a one star easily. Everything except my green beans were cold with customer service having three out of four friendly employees. The third person called my name, talked to another customer, then never gave me my food or asked if I wanted sauce or anything. This is when the fourth person noticed. Besides the bad customer service nothing was dry, just inconsistent with flavor at times, such as the seasoning on my older fries or lack of brisket in my baked beans. Now that I've been here I wouldn't recommend it. There are a lot of other places you can go to for better BBQ. I do however like their mission, that's a cause I can get behind all day, any day. read more

with the grand opening that was just around the corner at the time of this review. Mission BBQ gives you more option that are in the area. This is more of a fast food place where there is some indoor dinning that can be taken advantage off. Their menu does not have any type of liquor and has an assortment of soft drinks that are available to choose from. When ordering from this location you either have to call or go in since they don't have any type of online ordering system. Went in two have two 3 Meat Sampler that consisted of all of their choices from Turkey, Sausage, Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Chicken. There were multiple sides that also order that included Green Beans, Mac and Cheese, Cole Slaw, and Fries. When I picked up my order I only got two of my sides and when I asked like I didn't see it they stated that it was there in the other box. This was not the case when I got home. The sauce Selection they have available is plentiful the one I went with was Texas and Baja. The Meats where well cooked and had good flavor Mainly the Brisket, Chicken, and Sausage. The turkey and pulled pork were not on the same level as the other three. TLDR: Missing two of my sides that were order. This is more of a fast food location that it is like a sit down BBQ. The sauces you have plenty to choose from with good flavor the meats that I would suggest Would be the Brisket, Chicken, and Sausage. You can only oder over the phone or going in no online ordering at this moment and. read more

All the meats are great but my favorite 3 are the turkey, the lean brisket and the pulled pork. I like the sides and desserts that are always on the menu but the seasonal items make the menu even better. read more

I held off going for quite some time. I wish I hadn't! my girlfriend and I walked in and told the cashier, Nick, it was our first time and we would be taking out. He took a step from behind the counter to explain the menu to us. Broke the barrier and changed the atmosphere from customer/seller to friend/friend. He took the time to explain every aspect of the meal. luckily there wasn't anyone behind us lol. I took the easy route and ordered the pulled pork sandwich meal with Mac n Cheese. They gave us one of each sauce to try. Heaviest hitter in our house were the KC classic, Texas twang, and Tupelo honey Hot. without exaggeration or saying too much lt is hands down some of if not the best pulled pork you can find in Michiana. a bit dry, as it should be, so with the addition of the sauce it comes together as the perfect flavor. unfortunately for you, I am halfway through the meal but had to leave this review after such a great experience! back to the meal!! read more

Most recent order from Mission BBQ very tasty, decent portion size. Portion size continues to vary...never the the same portion size twice. They were very busy this nite and we got our dine in food before there was a place to sit open... that was a little unsettling. By the time a table was available the food. Was no longer warm. The dinning room host was superb... most polite and accommodating I've ever seen... can't remember his name but this gentleman deserves a raise! This order is Brisket lean Mac n cheese and this time added the corn casserole. 4 stars bc we had to wait for a table after our food was handed over to us read more

When Mission first opened in our area, we were there every single week. Food and service was always amazing. As time went on, the food and employees got worse and worse, so we stopped going altogether. Hubby and I decided to give it another chance today and I'm sorry we did. I ordered a brisket sandwich, which cost 22 dollars for a small portion of meat that was very tough and a stale bun that wasn't even toasted. Two meals and a horrible banana pudding was over 50 dollars. Employees weren't especially nice and they were all standing around. The restaurant wasn't busy though, so I guess standing around is better than making sure the food that is served is edible. ‍ Today was our very last time there and if this continues, this restaurant will close within the year! read more

For a dedicated BBQ restaurant, the food quality was very disappointing! We purchased close to $150 of take out food. One rack of ribs was very dry and tough, as if overcooked. The other rack of ribs was not as tough, but lacked flavor unless slathered with sauce. The brisket was the worst - very dry, tough, and lacked flavor. The sides didn't taste very good and were expensive at $12 a container. read more

Well... Let first say that I have been in many, many BBQ places across the nation. First, this place has a great positive vibe with all the memorabilia and such, the staff is very friendly and spot on. However, the BBQ (Brisket and Ribs), we over the top salty; so salty that we could not finish. The sides were good - Cornbread, Coleslaw and Creamed Corn, although the later was a bit pasty. Broad selection of BBQ sauces assisted in somewhat minimizing the saltiness of the BBQ. If they get the BBQ right I would give them a 5 Star, but alas that is the center of the plate item and hence 3 Stars. read more

Our newest BBQ Joint in The Princess City! Great BBQ. Moist smoked Meats, excellent sides. When I'm on Main St. and I have to choose... Hands Down It'll be Mission BBQ.
