Visited Mission for the first time based on a recommendation. St. Louis style rib meat fell off the bone, sausage was tasty as was the Pulled Pork Sandwich & they have Resurrection cans for a $1.00... Did I mention the Brisket (we got the "not lean" version) was amazing? Service was exceptional! What more can I say?! Maybe it was due to the holidays but if you go on a Saturday night go before 6 as they were sold out of ribs by 6:30! We will be returning. read more

Mission BBQ - Brisket & Sausage combo-Delicious! - Barbeque Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

Great service. We had our sales meeting there and they were very accommodating. Outstanding menu choices but the barbecue pulled pork is my favorite read more

Mission BBQ has some of the best brisket I've ever had in my life. The food is always hot and ready and there is never a long wait for the amazing service. But the surprise menu item is the salmon for me. Fresh, flavorful and never dry. The salmon is a win every time. And the mission to support veterans is an honorable one. Support mission BBQ in their mission and eat good while doing it! read more

COVID-19 Cravings. Essential eating. In an effort to support local business during the crisis, I decided to treat the family to Mission. I called an order in around 17:15 for pick up at 18:30 at this location, which is, as the raven flies, 7.5 miles from home. I did have to call this location 6 times before I didn't get a busy signal or got the hang up. The order was simple: two orders of pulled chicken, one combo of brisket and pulled pork and a three meat combo with brisket, pulled pork and turkey. Ordered pints of slaw and baked beans. I arrived at 18:25 and walked out at 18:53. Most customers practicing social distancing. Some folks just don't care and don't. Scary. Food perfect. Four stars just for the wait. I was told at point of sale there would be a wait. They provided a complimentary cup for a beverage. Nice touch. Food fantastic as usual. The place was extremely busy with pick up and call in orders. It's worth the effort. They need to have a tip jar, seriously. Glad they're coming to Towson! Closer to home. read more

If a business should 'give back to the community', this company gets 6 stars. That aside, the food can not be beat. I have not seen stuffed bread with so much meat since the 1970's and they do it with reasonable prices and pleasant service . Try their "wet brisket" read more

Very customer friendly place, and I especially appreciated the playing of and standing for the national anthem. Our meal arrived shortly after we ordered and was very good. Also as appreciation for us being first time customers, a free bread pudding. I'll be back. read more

Super yummy. Definitely expensive but worth it. Unparalleled service every time. The sweet tea is amazing. I love that the give back to first responders. Feels more like a family restaurant than a chain. read more

Good food. Love the brisket moist of course. Good atmosphere. They support the military, first responders, police and fire. Best place to eat and be merry read more

My favorite menu item would be the cheesy potatoes. The ribs are good. The brisket is dry.

Food was not good it was dry & not a good taste. I will not recommend and won't visit again. I am a foodie & it just was t a good experience. read more

Amazing! Service is always wonderful and the staff is always friendly. Even when there is a crowd, it never feels like a long wait.

Amazing food and amazing customer service. I get the chicken every time and the wife gets the brisket. Both are delicious. It's super appreciative how they treat veterans. I don't have a single bad thing to say about this place. They also have catered two separate occasions for us and I also strongly recommend that. They make it very easy with the set up and that can be very helpful on a stressful day. read more

We had a holiday luncheon at work catered my mission BBQ on 12/13/17. Pros: -Food was delivered on time -Delivery person was friendly -Plates, utensils for eating, and serving utensils included. They include a tablecloth too. -Reasonably priced (party pack for 10 or more was $11.99 + tax -Food was (mostly) delicious. We got the chopped brisket, which was my favorite by far. Very tender, amazing flavor, and no sauce needed. Pulled pork was good too, as was the pulled chicken. For our sauces we chose KC Classic and Memphis Belle. I didn't try the Memphis Belle, but the KC Classic was amazing. Just a perfect amount of spice/heat to it. For our sides we chose mac and cheese, green beans, and coleslaw. The mac and cheese was perfectly seasoned and creamy and delicious. I didn't try the slaw. The green beans were kinda overcooked but well seasoned. And there was bacon in them soooooo win. Cons: -I feel that the portions were small. We had a group of 18, and there was just barely enough for a couple of us to get seconds. -The cornbread was dry and the slider rolls just tasted "off," like maybe a little stale to me. -Not enough napkins provided. They provide 1 napkin in a little plastic utensil packet. No moist towelettes provided either. It's BBQ, it gets messy folks! -You can only choose 2 sauces for a catering order. I wish we were allowed at least 3, maybe 4. Overall it wasn't bad, I just wish we got more food and I wish the cornbread wasn't so dry because I really wanted some cornbread lol. I could see myself eating there again though cause that brisket was everything haha read more

Have been there three times. Food was always great. Love the taste and the crowd seemed nice. Would not hesitate to go again. read more

How in the world did anyone who has eaten here EVER given it anything but FIVE STARS? I travel almost 200,000 miles a year and get to eat at amazing places all over the nation and can authoritatively say that I have NEVER eaten better Bar B Q in my life!!! The Salmon? How in the heck do they keep it so moist??? The Ribs - Baby Back of course - EPIC!!! The pulled pork, pulled chicken, the custom sauces - I ordered enough food for three people and ate what I could, stashing the rest in my hotel room refrigerator. I couldn't sleep knowing it was there!!! After tossing and turning for over an hour, I got up around midnight and ate the rest of it!!! I am back for my second night in a row and gonna do it all over again before leaving town in the morning. From the sweet people working here to the outrageous food - this is one very special place. read more

Mission BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

New to the area I was cravin brisket. 3 separate people suggested I try this place, so I drove the 18mi to it. And boy am I glad I did!! Family friendly laid back no plates plastic-ware smiling and interactive staff and plenty of food Everything's a la cart so expect to drop $10-15 if you order an entree/sandwich and a side or two But it's worth it Following the lead of other posters I got the Memphis belle brisket sandwich. A shredded beef smothered in a Smokey sweet tangy sauce. Enough piled on the bun that I ate about an inch off the top layer before I attempted to actually close the sandwich and bite it as it was designed Cole slaw is part mayo-vinegar and decent. Mac and cheese is baked and made w 5 different cheeses and and topped with some type of "breadcrumbs". Delish. Let them know its your first time and they will give you ALOT of personal attention! They explain the entire menu, taking time to ensure you know how they cook and what's from scratch etc There's about 6 different kinds of Bbq sauce seasoning you can add but I dont know that you need them They gave me complimentary "freedoms fries". Their string fries w a special season. They were ok but I doubt I'll order them on my own. They were slightly over cooked -and I'm a fan of krinkle fries. Lots of people had them so it may just have been my preference Lemonade was just the right amount of sweet and tart I enjoyed it so much I dragged a co-worker back the very next day! She got the pulled chicken and fries and was happy. I got the half chicken to go (w Mac an cheese AGAIN). Took carrot cake Togo- kinda disappointed in the serving size of the dessert though. I'm thinking maybe 1.5oz maybe 2.5oz. It was good though and served as a "scoop" in a small plastic container, not a slice. Very sweet and good Plan to try the chicken today read more

Love this place and their brisket!!! Make sure you order the low fat or half and half though.

I love Mission BBQ. I go there often, and even had them cater my wedding! For both normal in-store and catering, I've had nothing but great experiences. Their pulled pork is in the top I've ever had, and the salmon is outrageously good. read more

This is the "GO TO" place for BBQ. I normally get baby back ribs or brisket. Yum's the word! However, if I go there, it's always just before noon, so that I can participate in the singing of the National Anthem. If you're patriotic and support the U.S. Military and First-Responders, this is the place for you. read more

Great food as always! The brisket is outstanding. Served by great people at great prices. Highly recommend!

Terrible food. Their meat tastes exactly like propane and gives me a headache every time I eat it.

Great BBQ joint...6 choices of sauce including a local with Bay Seasoning that was pretty good. Enjoyed the blackened ribeye black plate special, brisket, green beans with bacon and smoked potatoes salad. Not much for craft brew options, but enjoyed Monument brown ale. Even though cafeteria style ordering and pickup, the food is freshly prepared and the service is great, regularly checking into see how f everything was delicious...as it was...or if wanted anything more on the house. Lastly, they pay real tribute to our American troops, fire and police! We'll be back! read more

Food was decent. Bbq is bbq. Hard to mess it up. They are a bit pricey and the portions are pretty small. Staff was friendly. I won't be going back, but it's not a bad place. read more

Great barbecue; we especially like the "lean" which many people like their barbecue with the associated fat. To eat their own. Sides are relatively pleasing as is the cornbread. I usually have enough left over to make a breakfast taco. read more

Mission BBQ has been around since '11, with its first location out in Glen Burnie. They have many locations in FL, MD, NC, PA, and in VA. The menu was pretty extensive, as they offer brisket, pulled pork, turkey, pulled chicken, sausages (jalapeno & cheese or the Classic #41 (slightly spicy)), ribs, sandwiches, salads, sides (mac n cheese, baked beans with brisket, green beans & bacon, cold slaw, fries, and seasonal items), combos, and kids menus. We tried the Market Sampler, where you can opt for 2 or 3 meats - we opted for the 3-meat sampler with brisket (Texas-inspired and oak-smoked; this was pretty okay, but I wished it had more flavor to it), pulled pork (slow-smoked and hand-pulled; this was actually pretty okay as it was juicy), and the Classic #41 sausages (slightly salty with a slight subtle spiciness to it, these were forgettable). We also tried their special, a Smoked Ribeye, which had a combination of dark-roasted espresso beans, salt, pepper, and garlic (more on the peppery side) - this was actually pretty tasty, but it was cooked of rare temperature and had too many sinews that made it difficult to cut (no steak knife available, but plasticware (!)). The cornbread that came with the meats was on the dry end, so that was forgettable. 6 types of sauces were available: KC Classic, Bay-B-Que, Tupelo Honey Heat, Texas Twang, Smoky Mountain, and Memphis Belle. My favorite out of the 6 was the Smoky Mountain, as it had a nice thick sweetness to it with a hint of smokiness - it was pretty good with the meats. Katelyn, the cashier, was very sweet and made some suggestions when she found out it was our first time; Cheyenne, who I believe was one of the managers, was going around and making sure that everything was good - she was very friendly and sweet, and I thought her checking up on us again at the end of the meal was pretty awesome :D Their lemonade and sweet tea combo was refreshing and delicious, so I highly recommend in trying out that drink. I loved the large wooden booths and the friendly staff - I'd love to come back and try out their sides, especially their seasonal items, as well as their other meats. +'Smoky Mountain' sauce +Smoked Ribeye (request your certain temperature; bring your own steak knife) :P +Sweet Tea & Lemonade mixture +friendly staff (ask for Katelyn and Cheyenne!) :D read more

Real BBQ is about the meat, not the sauce. The meats at Mission BBQ are great examples of several regional BBQ styles mainly Texas and North Carolina. And while the sauces I sampled were all very good, you could eat the brisket without any sauce and enjoy it all the same with just the flavor of the meat and the smoke. I'm a Texas Ex-Pat BBQ snob who has been known to drive hundreds of miles to eat at the famous BBQ joints around that great state. I drove to Perry Hall to try the cue because the Mission BBQ website had a picture of these guys in front of Cooper's BBQ in Llano, TX and Louie Mueller's In Taylor, TX-- two of my favorite places in the state. After sampling Mission BBQ's cue, I'd drive to Perry Hall again to eat there. The brisket has that telltale thick pink ring that all proper Texas BBQ should have. Only had a taste of the pork, but that had an authentic North Carolina flavor to it. Sides were tasty. And served on brown paper as God meant BBQ to be served on. A sink to wash the sauce off your fingers is right in the main dining room. The joint has a unusual public service theme honoring first responders, cops, firefighters and armed forces. They play the national anthem everyday at noon and patrons all stand and place their hands over their hearts as it plays. This place should be famous among local BBQ fanatics. Come now before everybody finds out about this place the lines get too long. read more

OK. I've been using Yelp lately to flame businesses. So it's time to remember what time of year it is and try to be positive. This brings me to Mission BBQ. I'm going to start this review by saying...I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. Nothing at all. The service, the food, the decor are all outstanding. They once forgot to include a side order in my carry-out and give me a free entree the next time I came in...which was only 2 days later. This place rocks. I have tasted almost everything on the menu, so I consider myself a half-assed expert (spot the Duchess badge for confirmation), so I know of what I speak. The brisket is to die for. I don't do lean. Moist brisket always. And I love watching them prepare it. Gingerly removing it from the smoker and tearing off all of the fat....look, I could day dream about this for hours. It's that good. I've had both the baby back ribs and the spare ribs, and I prefer the spare ribs. I think it's the cumin in the rub that draws me to the spare rib. The pulled pork, my husband says, is great..but I'm not a fan of anyone's pulled pork, so I haven't yet tried it. The chicken is great and moist, as is the turkey, and I haven't tried the sausage. The prime rib is really good, but I've had a problem with consistency (rare-well done). The sides - they walk around and offer french fries for free (at least the last 3 times we dined in), so try to not waste your side! The fries are good, btw. Like 5 guys, but better. The creamed corn is excellent. The greens with bacon are great (they're with bacon, how could they not?!) BUT they have a tendency to be over cooked...still taste good though. The mac is good, but I hate that they add bread crumbs to it, so I ask for it without. The cole slaw is good, but I have yet to try the baked beans, so I can not report. If you're a sweet fan like I am, take comfort...they have real southern sweet tea and leamonade. They also have specialty sodas sitting in ice just in the door. I've never seen some of the brands of soda they have. The decor is kinda like Rudy's...not in color scheme, but in concept. You can watch them preparing your food. The decor's upscale repurposed things (ie, the tool box as condiment drawer) that makes it fun. I wouldn't say you'd feel comfortable in a ball gown here, but if you're dressed a little snazzy, you wouldn't feel out of place...except for the fact that this is BBQ and you're not supposed to dress cute for BBQ. So in other words, it's no where near a dive. Service is top notch. I've already given an example, but they also do things like greet you as you walk through the door...I've yet to encounter someone rude or incompetent. This is by far the best addition to this area. You will not regret it. read more

Amazing! This place just had their grand opening on Monday, yet the way everything flowed made it seem like they had been open for ages. This is the second Mission BBQ to open, there is another located in Glen Burnie MD which opened 10 years to the date of 9/11. Not only do half of the daily proceeds from the restaurant get donated to the Wounded Warrior Project but Mission BBQ also supports veterans and military personnel on the reg with their awesome decor. They even had a Maverick poster, for all my fellow Top Gun fans out there! The food was surprisingly on point. When I initially made the decision to eat here, I expected a place like Famous Dave's (a sit down BBQ restaurant with waiters) however, Mission BBQ is similar to that of a Panera or Qdoba. You walk in, order at the counter and wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. The prices are a little bit more on the expensive side for being considered a "fast-food" BBQ joint, but just think of it as... half of what you are paying goes to our soldiers :) I ordered the turkey with a side of sweet potato mash, which also came with cornbread. The cornbread had good flavor, the turkey literally fell apart (so tender) and the sweet potato mash was sweet and savory, but not too sweet. Others that went to eat with me had the pulled pork and brisket, which was also very tender and juicy. The meat is the highlight of this place, so if you're looking for good/lean BBQ - this is the place to be. Not to mention you have six different sauces to choose from, ranging from sweet to spicy. One of them even had an old bay flavor.. that's when you know you're in Baltimore, hon! Mission BBQ was featured in the weekly newsletter. Check it out: http://www.yelp.com/weekly?editorial_id=K3eDn2l2oQlol7MvXdm8Ug ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: The manager has confirmed that they are opening another location in the Canton (Baltimore City) shopping center, that is currently under construction. Keep your eyes peeled! read more

This place was really good, service wise. Food was okay. Service-wise, cool! They walk around and randomly give you free fries. However, the strange bathroom decor is something I could do without. The men's room is filled with half-naked women... And the women's room is filled with soldiers kissing women. At least give them half-naked men (maybe from some firemen calendars or something?). Overall, it seems a good bit sexist and just kinda dumb and out of place. BUT, since the food is okay and the service is great, 3 stars is fair. read more

I love Mission BBQ, particularly the Perry Hall location. The new manager is so friendly and he always makes a point to come around and greet the guests. The staff always remembers my family and they take the time to socialize, but not too long that it takes away from getting their job done. The food is always delicious and if on the rare occasion something is off with the food, they will always make it right. Highly recommend. read more

BBQ comes to Perry Hall! My wife and I moved here 7 years ago, and one of the things I've missed is great BBQ -- in particular, a NC pulled pork sandwich. When I saw this location being built, I tried not to get too excited, in case they didn't deliver -- but those fears were unfounded! The NC pulled pork was tender, moist, with no gristle. Just delicious BBQ and 6 different sauces to suit different tastes. I'm also a little picky when it comes to sauces, but the Mission crew does it right! There are sauces inspired from different BBQ capitals of our great nation, all in one hopper on each table. Great!! The fries were hot, crisp, and delicious -- a must for a great BBQ establishment. I also like the business' respect for our country and those in the service. I will definitely be back! read more

This is my new go to place in MD when I'm traveling. I know Maryland is know for it's crab cakes and seafood, well you need to check this place out. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is very cool. I got the BBQ chicken sandwich, fries, and mac n cheese and was not disappointed. The portions were big enough to fill you up but not too big that you couldn't finish it. This place definitely honors our armed forces and police and firefighters as there is a ton of memorabilia on the walls and that Im a big fan of!! great food, great atmosphere that supports a great bunch of people. Great Job, I can't wait to come back!! Oh and they have a cool old fashioned sink in the dining room to wash your hands after you get all messy eating their food....Great idea!!! read more

Displaced Texans: You can get moist brisket here! It's not Salt Lick, Hutchins, Hard 8 or Lockhart level, but it's like a Rudy's level brisket, which is not bad when you consider the location. :) We had moist brisket and pulled chicken and it was tender and tasty. Chicken was cold when served which was disappointing. I didn't know this was a chain so maybe we'll try another location or keep searching. Unrelated: What is up with pit beef? It's disgusting...it's like warm lunch meat on soggy bread. Y'all are weird. read more
