    Adult fries, kids' pulled pork slider and kids' macaroni and cheese.
    Ashleigh P.

    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

    Kids turkey slider with fries
    Aditi G.

    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!

    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!

    If you aupport the military you need to come to Mission BBQ. The food is good and the decor honors militRy,Police and Fire We chose ala cart pulled pork and Brisket. The cool part is that they asked if you wanted wet(fatty) or dry. The wet wss good. The pulled pork was good.It was a little dry but the flavor still came through. We would definitely come baxk when we are in the area. Taste 7/10 Quality vs cost: 8/10 Presentation 8/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Service 10/10 +++ total 43/50=4.3 =4 star

    Order up!

    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!!!

    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!

    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!

    Fat Cap turned up in a random search for a nearby lunch on Yelp - my extremely good fortune!…read more Memphis is my second home town and I'm a total BBQ nerd. I was a certified Memphis BBQ Network judge and also held that credential with the KC BBQ Society. My BBQ consumption regularly lands me in hot water with my PPC on a number of issues; it is what it is. So imagine my surprise when I drove into the parking lot and saw a big pile of real hardwood stacked in the back. I was optimistic. And I wasn't disappointed. My original plan was to have some brisket (woefully largely missing from the local Memphis scene) but when the proprietor offered the option of a brisket and rib combo, I jumped on it. Here's the deal: this guy knows what he's doing smoking meats. The ribs were as good as my Memphis favorites at Cozy Corner and I've never said that about ribs anywhere in Memphis or elsewhere. The brisket a perfect 10 - perfectly seasoned, beautiful smoke ring and juicy without being fatty. Neither the ribs nor the brisket wanted for any sauce, but the two I sampled should be bottle and sold at Amazon. That's enough, you should get the point (and the flat and the ribs!!). Bon appetite

    Holy freaking cow! I just unhinged my jaw and inhaled their brisket like a T. rex. That was,…read morewithout a doubt, the best darn brisket I've ever had in my entire life. Tender, juicy, full of flavor. So perfect it doesn't even need sauce! I've traveled all over the country and am a bit of a bbq snob. This place is one in a million. Worth every penny. It can only be described in one word, which is a word I just made up.... MEATGASM! I took it to go. I'm sure all the "oh my gawds, and oh yums!" Coming from my office probably raised a few eyebrows but I can't help it. Holy crap that was delicious! Also, try it with the Alabama sauce. (Chefs kiss) perfection!!!

    Dean's BBQ, located in Granger, Indiana, is only about a year old and is already a local favorite!…read moreMy boyfriend and I were in the area in June 2026 and we were enticed by the menu and good reviews on Yelp so we had dinner here. Tl;dr - we loved it and are looking forward to coming back here many more times! So it isn't a large space. But we didn't have to wait for a table. There is also a somewhat open kitchen for the curious diners who enjoy watching chefs at work. There's a printed menu but there are also many chalkboards on the walls around the small space that list the specials. Our service was fast and the place was well-staffed. We stuck to ordering off the regular menu except for our drinks. I was impressed by the prices of the drinks, especially the for mocktails. We also agreed that the prices for the merch were decent, especially the sweatshirt, which was only $35. My boyfriend, who is not a beer drinker, got the Vandermill apple cider ($5), made in Grand Rapids, MI. I got the 3 Floyd's Zombie Dust APA ($7.50), a famous Munster, Indiana brewery that has won a plethora of awards over the years. I got a little tipsy from it, ngl. We were craving different items to eat so my boyfriend got the Dean's Burger with wagyu beef and pork with a side of mac and cheese ($19). It was so juicy and the cheese pull was insane! I love brisket so I had to try theirs so I got the brisket sandwich with fries ($18). The brisket was delicious and the bun was of good quality. I had to add a little more sauce to it though. Also, the homemade ketchup tasted a bit apple butter-y! Crazy delicious! They said it had cloves in it. I tried to eat as slow as I could to make it last and was so sad when I finished my food. It was all soooo good! Overall, our meal cost a bit over $60 after tax and tip. We joined the rewards program and we WILL be back!

One piece of pork about the size of a finger was burnt and hard. The bottom of the bun was burnt black. The worst burger I've had in the county. Half of the fries were tiny end pieces. Hardly any salt on them and no salt available on the table. There were only 6 people in the restaurant yet it seemed to take forever to get food. The server was very nice though. The place has a nice bar vibe. Honestly for a burger that costs nearly 20 dollars I expect it to be a lot better.

My husband was planning and hosting his family reunion and neglected to order the catering, Monday before the reunion. I was tasked with finding a restaurant/caterer the could accommodate our Saturday reunion Dinner. At the time everyone was experiencing supply chain and staff shortages, it was going to be a challenge. To the rescue, I emailed Donna, even though Fisher's Tips and BBQ were closed, Donna emailEd back immediately. Donna put me in touch with her husband Rob and he helped me figure out what we needed for 35-40 guests. I ordered the ribs, rib tips, chicken, chicken wings, Mac and cheese, beans, potato salad, coleslaw and corn bead. Everything was fabulous, the ribs and tips, were fall off the bone tender and moist, with beautiful carmelization. The sauce is incredibly flavorful, the chicken was very moist, not overcooked or dry. The Mac and cheese was the best, made with real cheese not plastic velveta. The beans were excellent not canned baked bean. Our entire family raved about everythin and each family that was not flying requested leftover. We have been doing the family reunions every two years for many years and everyone said this was the best ever. I fixed a plate for the hotel receptionist and she said it was the very best BBQ she ever had. She mad sure I wrote down exactly the name because she wanted to refer other guests. I am so happy a grateful to Donna and Rob were able to accommodate us even at the late dat. They are the old fashioned Mom and Pop typ of business owners that care. I highly recommend Fisher's Ribs and Tips for all your dining and catering needs. Thank you so much Donna and Rob.
